Argurous Astraph 4E -- eventually.

According to the 4E FAQ, limitations and enhancements to Alternate Forms only apply to the 15 point cost of the advantage, rather than the cost of the template. I'll post a "really, I mean it this time" final version of the character sheet as soon as I get it done.

So, given that it's been almost three weeks, are you satisfied with this one still?

Aside from the tiny voice inside my head whispering, "Come on, give her eight more points in skills and make it an even 1200. You know you wanna. You know you wanna ...", yes.

Well... Did you take into account that Argurous Astraph will have been using her skills since the last time a writeup of her was presented, so increasing a couple of skills by a bit would be reasonable?
If I was looking to spend 8 more points on her, I'd raise Diplomacy and Strategy (Supers) by one level (4 points) each...

Nope, it's a straight translation not an update.

I was just wondering why "Fights the Forces of Evil naked" isn't under quirks. Mind you, my GURPs experience is limited. To me, that falls under a 15 point Distinctive Feature (maybe 10, since it's only in Hero Form; it definitely is highly noticeable and provokes an extreme reaction).

I find myself at an odd loss of words when trying to articulate my own answer to this...
