Other Subtypes
normal_human: Power Absorbers will only copy (or steal) Abilities (Strength, Agility, Speed, Endurance, Energy) from this character. Use this subtype for characters that have no superpowers but rather all their “Powers” are actually weapons or technology.
robot: Power Absorbers are unable to target characters with this subtype. Also, Phased characters can use the Disrupt Electronics Power on characters with this subtype.
computer: Phased characters can use the Disrupt Electronics Power on characters with this subtype.
hitech: Power Absorbers are unable to target characters with this subtype. The difference between this and ‘robot’ is that I also use ‘robot’ for characters that shouldn’t be targeted by characters with mental attacks while ‘hitech’ implies that the bearer of this subtype still has a brain to attack but is encased in a battle-suit which the Power Absorber cannot penetrate to duplicate their Abilities. Also, Phased characters can use the Disrupt Electronics Power on characters with this subtype.
subtype_only: This subtype is used if you don’t want any other of the characters powers to be accessed and copied (or stolen) and only want the subtype powers to be copied (or stolen). Let’s say you have a character with Sonic Generation Powers and you created an Energy Beam Power to simulate a sonic scream attack. You should add ‘sonic’ to the character’s subtype so any Power Absorber will get a sonic blast when copying their powers. The Power Absorber would also get an Energy Beam attack because of the Energy Beam Power the Sonic Character has but that is really just a sonic attack. So in this case you should also add ‘subtype_only’ so the Power Absorber only gets a sonic blast and doesn’t try to read the rest of the power list of the target.
subtype_replace: This subtype is used if you want certain subtypes to overwrite certain powers, instead of skipping the powers altogether. For instance, if you had a ranged Power that does Fire damage but you created it to simulate a beam of intense infrared energy, not flames. Add 'heat_blast' and 'subtype_replace' and the power will be read by the Power Absorber as a beam of heat rather than fire. It's almost the same thing as 'subtype_only', except it will still read all the powers, but only replace certain powers with the appropriate subtype. 'subtype_only' never reads the powers.
