Duplication

Level: 3

Quantum Minimum: 4

Dice Pool: Stamina + Duplication

Range: Special

Area: N/A

Duration: Maintenance

Effect: Creates one clone of the character per success

Multiple Actions: No

Description: This power allows the nova to create up to one duplicate identical to himself for each level he has attained, or, he can expend a success to cause a summoned duplicate to appear up to (Quantum + power score) x10 meters away! He can, of course, choose to create less duplicates than he roll successes, as each duplicate created costs the full 3 Quantum to summon forth (although he can maintain them all for only 3 Quantum, so long as they were summoned together!), making this power significantly more costly than Clone!

As with Clone, each of the duplicates possesses the same Attributes, Abilities, Willpower, Nature, etc. Unlike Clone, the duplicates do not appear with a copy of any clothing or equipment the user has, unless it is Eufiber or an item Attuned to the Nova. More importantly, they not only lack the Duplication power, but *any* Mega-Attributes or Quantum powers! (Although they do possess Quantum and Taint scores and points equal to the creating Nova at the time of summoning.)

Another principal difference from Clone is that these duplicates are just as competent and skilled as the Nova from whom they were summoned, none suffer any reduction in potency from his levels, no matter how many are created. Also quite different and counter-balancing this improvement more than the duplication of items issue, is that only as many duplicates can be in existence at any one time as ones (Quantum + power rating).

Thus, if Legion has a level 4 in Duplication and a Quantum score of 4, he can create up to 8 duplicates at a time, no matter how many quantum points he has to spend or how many times he rolls to activate his power.

Extras: Cost is 4 regardless of number summoned; All Duplicates are linked telepathically.

Limiters: Can only create as many Duplicates as ones Duplication score; Duration reduces to Concentration; Duplicates have to heal and are one-time individuals (if one is killed, that level of power is lost and must be re-earned!); Duplicates have their own personalities...
