Question about Speed Attribute

[Alrik Vas]

To the first, the short answer is no. Sometimes numbers work out funny but you're supposed to actually have the power to get the abilities.

Well, are you moving that fast because you are using Sonic Speed? Or can you just "move that fast?" If that's the case, same answer from me.

My speed attribute is 578 and for 30 seconds it 1156. Im a mega hero but im using the option that i can use 2 power categories for a mega hero. I don't have any actuall super power that gives me a speed in miles per hour.

Out of curiosity, how did you manage a speed attribute that high without a speed enhancing power that gives you bonuses?

I'd also agree with Alrik - even though you may have ended up with a high speed attribute (again wondering how you got one that high), the folks with enhanced speed attributes get the bonuses they have from having the power, and being able to innately use that power in ways that a normal person who just had speed thrust upon them wouldn't.

As an example, Super Speedster has had years of practice with his speed powers, and has had every opportunity to figure out not only how far he can push himself, but also when he needs to restrain himself. He knows his limits, and thus gets the bonuses. Joe Speedy on the other hand, all of a sudden has this extra speed bestowed to him - he's clumsy with it, he may push himself too hard (or not hard enough), he doesn't have a grasp yet on how to dodge running at high speeds, or to hit someone moving at high speed without overcompensating..

That all being said, there are obviously some bonuses that I would give the player - leaping bonuses for instance. Let's face it, someone with a speed that high can take a pretty awesome flying leap, not only up, but across. I'd leave it for you or your GM to figure out exactly what sort of bonuses to add - although I would think they'd be less than someone with the power of enhanced leaping - maybe half.

I'm a eugenics character combined with an experiment power group for a mega hero, i have built for speed, from a high gravity world as i was alien abducted, extraordinary pp, blur, leaping, extraordinary pe, increased durability, and i don't remember the last power. The options from Eugenics are to make the character as fast as possible, with adrenaline gland, steroid gland. I don't have my character sheet here with me but it was calculated that because i have a base speed attribute of 48.1 because of being a heavy weight, i get a x 4 x 3, and the blur power gives me a x 2 for 30 seconds.

You're looking for more?? Come now - don't get greedy..
What are your current bonuses? PP, Blur and Leaping all must add something to your combat bonuses
So, you must already have some pretty formidable bonuses as is.

Seems like you've got more than enough going on. I wouldn't worry about having proper sonic speed powers. There are some realities your GM might want to observe about going that fast, but granting you extra powers just from high attributes defeats the purpose of having powers, otherwise having a 50 PS would just automatically give you supernatural strength, but it doesn't.

You trip or run into a wall how much damage do you deal to yourself?

You trip or run into a wall how much damage do you deal to yourself?

I'd say 1d6 dmg. per 10 MPH traveled AND per 10 feet traveled

i am curious about that "supernatural ps" of 82. do explain since attribute bonuses from skills do not apply.

If i have enough speed attribute to be as fast as someone with extraordinary speed, would it be OK to say that i get the bonuses attack, the extra initiative, strike, parry and dodge/auto dodge, roll with punch fall and impact, and bonus damage for moving fast.

I can also for 30 seconds move as fast as sonic speed, so would i get those bonuses for the 30 seconds.

Short answer, no.

While you have the raw speed of a a comparable character, the spesifics of the power set aren't there.

Now there is a handle I have not seen in a while...
Where have you been hiding?
