Trying to figure out Miho's TV

[Scribix]

Maybe it's because I'm not a math guy...but according to Miho's sheet her TV is 20, now taking into account her Transformation I came up with 22. Does her Transformation Trigger bring it back down?

I know is shouldn't be this hard, but it's the noob in me.

Thanks,

Scrib

Possibly since her Transformation is involuntary and out of Miho's control, Clay considered it unfair to factor it into her normal abilities?

Looking at it myself it seems like if you don't count the Combat Expert from the transformation it comes out as 20 and with the transformation it does seem to be 22, so possibly because the transformation isn't a permanent adjustment (like a point in Strong would be) it isn't counted? (Which is a bit like not taking into account perks and flaws for attacks when considering Threat Value, I guess) that's my take on it anyway.

Yep. Think of it like not counting Hulk for Bruce Banner's TV (or, for a more classic example, Jekyll & Hyde).

Thanks.

As Handsome Jack would say "I'm racking my brain trying to think of a name for this diamond pony", where for me "name" = "value" and "diamond pony"= "threat value".

I do appreciate your take on it.

No worries.

To clarify, yes, I did not include Miho’s Self Preservation Mode because A) It’s only active in limited situations and B) It’s almost more likely to do harm than good, at least as far as the rest of the party is concerned.

As a rule of thumb, use the stats that are most likely to apply in a combat situation. Using Fukiko’s untransformed form for her TV isn’t really plausible, since she will be in Lovely Savior Myu Myu form for almost any fight. TV is only a vague estimate anyway. It’s possible that, with a difference of opinion, you may calculate some totals differently than I have.
