I'm trying to figure out how to properly use Effects with Super Powers. I see several of them have Effects (presumably that you would drag onto Combat Tracker... say if the character was Invisible they have a #Invisible... but how does it know if they have the True Invisibility modifier on it?) but those make more sense in my mind for non-permanent effects. What about things like Super Skill or Super Attribute? I've tried putting on the description line, or the title of the power something like [Focus +5d] but it still just rolls the base without that. Or is it strictly the kind of thing where you just set the Trait to whatever the Super version of it is and don't bother with Effects like that?
I also noticed I needed to set on the AB the main Skill to be Focus (since that is the primary, presumably for attack powers you're generally better off creating attacks on the combat tab so it can use attack or ranged skills for those). Is there also a way to handle some of these for a character that uses the Alternate Trait modifier (so maybe they use Focus on some powers but specifically set, say, Hacking on some of their Powers). Is there a way to switch those up?
Some Super Powers are permanent. Alter the character sheet stats accordingly for those. Effects are for Temporary Powers like when Angry Green Man takes over from Handsome Smart Geek.
So you're saying use combat tracker for the "temporary ones"? But what about the effects listed in the Powers? My guy isn't permanently invisible, for example, but the only effect in the power is #Invisible not one for the -4 or -6 versions, things like that? Maybe I got too used to all the one in Fantasy Companion and SWPF?
Still if I wanted to put something like that on a Power is there a place to put it where it would parse it? Or is that just not possible like it is on some other descriptions?
And what about changing the skill used for a particular power (or even attack on the Combat tab)? I thought there was once a way to do that but I no longer seem to be able to find it.
To change the ability used for a Power or Attack etc right click and select the pen icon and type in the ability needed.
I'll look at Powers and add effects for them.
Pen icon? All I see is the menu attached if I right click anywhere on a Power (except on the attack/action die but there is no pen on that menu, either, just number of attacks and Trait Info which doesn't let you edit the Trait it is using either).Quote:

Open the power usign the Cog on the right. Its a Pen icon for writing. Think its wording is Edit. Ask on Discord someone will show a screeshot. I'am at work. No PCQuote:

I've never seen any other choices if they were available. (And I'd rather keep it here instead of Discord because it's easier for folks to find things here, IMHO, over the chaos of Discord).
Right click on the Type drop down, click Set Trait:

yes that - I sent video message to #savage_worlds channel on FG Discord too Zarlor.Quote:

The full answer is. It depends.Quote:

The catch is Neutralize Power applies Strength -d until it wears off. The loss of strength is a temporary condition.
If the power requires Activation or is subject to Power Down rule depending on what limits are applied. When it is activated successfully apply a temporary condition of Strength +d. If the hit with Neutralize Power simply delete the temporary effect. The character can reactivate it later.
For more information see SHIELD thread
Appreciate the feedback and I'd seen that thread before but maybe I'm strange (well, no maybe about it! ;)) but since we also have the ability on Effects in CT that I never noticed before to turn Effects on and off (and modify visibility of them as well) I decided to go through their powers and add whatever modifiers I could see that would be appropriate there (with all of them turned off since CC starts with them all having Nullifiers on). If it does bog down CT way too much then I'll probably reconsider some of the other methods. We'll see. It's not like the group hasn't already been through the other two scenarios and as FGU adds more capabilities they've gotten pretty used to them (enough that the other GM at our table has taken to using it for his SWADE SFC=based game now, too!)
Thanks for all the advice, though. I've always appreciated the helpfulness of this forum.
ITEM Auto Grapnel is missing. When adding. Include link to swinging power in description.
ITEM Binoculars is missing. Supers has enhanced version grants Ignore Illumination +4 (ie Pitch will be modified to -2)
Auto Grapnel was missing - but it used to be there.. Binoculars are there still, not sure why you can't see them. FixedQuote:

I have my old build for Supers and Auto Grapnel was in there, so dunno how that vanished - maybe Spiderman stole it!Quote:
