Are moves that temporarily allow the use of powers, even if you don't have them allowed?

Are moves that temporarily allow the use of powers,  even if you don't have them allowed?

No.

As far as I know, the only exception is mimic.

Mimic – 2800 OM

A tactical and versatile ability, Mimic allows you to copy any powers or moves you've seen (or read with Insight) for up to an hour afterwards in-character. You must witness this in-person; watching someone use a move on a screen, for example, will not work. To use a Super Move you have copied, you must also pay the SP cost for it, and to copy things permanently you must buy them with OM (i.e. you have to buy the move yourself if you want to keep it in all circumstances). Bear in mind that you will not copy the target's stats - the move's effectiveness will depend on your own stats - and you will be somewhat less skilled than if you had the ability or move yourself.

Ah. So just to clarify using a phone and Omnilium to "replay" videos as attacks wouldn't exactly work unless you own the Profs/Powers required?

Alternatively you can use a consumable power to do this.

Was confirming. Thanks. Now this brings up another question. Can the gear of dropped/swapped primes be reclaimed by others as moves?

[Desman Black]

Two questions.

1. Are you allowed to mimc a mimiced mive. Say someone saw or read a move with insight, and within the next hour use the move infrount of someone else with mimic. Could the secound person copy the move?

2. Assuming the top questiin is yes. Would the pwer of the move (assuming the two had the same stats) be the same or weaker then the firsrt mimic of the move?

[13-Jzall]

1. Yes
2. Like it says on the mimic power, it depends on YOUR stats not theirs.

For future reference, the answer to your question could have been found by doing a search. The thread I found.

Note to everyone: The Omniverse has been around for a while. Chances are you can search the forums and find the answers you want. If you find that doing a search turns up no results, by all means, come and ask the question.

Can the gear of dropped/swapped primes be reclaimed by others as moves? This is a question I have thought of for something I might be doing with Dupe, depending on if people are okay with it, or not.

You can buy whatever moves you want, provided they've been approved. If by 'reclaimed' you mean 'added for free like this was World of Warcraft and you retrieved your corpse' the answer is an emphatic no. 

Also, please, don't clog the thread. Limit yourself to asking a question once.

[James Knight]

The question was more along the lines of, if the characters you wanted to take the moves from were dropped/swapped, can you still do so legitimately?

[Aaron]

Veritas, you can give anyone any moves you want as long as you get them approved and purchase them as usual.

This is OV 101; you've been here almost two years.

If a power is not on the list of the Powers/Proficiencies,  would writing it as a move be acceptable, or is it impossible to use?

Considering that the main criteria for something being a power or a proficiency is 'its on the Omniverse list of Powers or Proficiencies respectively', and that within this system there are plenty of superhuman abilities that can be (and have been) rendered as moves which don't require any Powers™ at all, let alone what can be had by combining existing Powers and Proficiencies, I'm not entirely sure what you're asking. If you have something specific you're wondering about, kick it over to the move creation workshop or create a separate thread.

Not to open a whole discussion about it, but I feel like the "Powers and Proficiencies" list offers a MASSIVE open system for Moves to work with. You can create a "fodder" power, such as Firebending either using a series of moves and similar powers to create a facsimile.

In summery; call it whatever you want IC, a "Power," a "Quirk," a "Nitch," etc. OOC, game wise, you just build it out of the legos you have in the box.

Is it possible to build a base in the astral realm, even if artifacts can't be taken?

[Handsome Jack]

You'd need the upgraded version of Astral Projection, where you enter physically. In doing so, you'd also be good to bring your artifacts with you.

[Daniel]

You can't have a base in the Astral Realm

[Amaterasu]

In response to the question above: would you be allowed to have a base in the Dataverse, since the limitations are similar to the Astral Realm?

And, this may have been asked before but how is it handled site-wise if a faction establishes itself in the territory of an NPC faction (like the Avengers did in imperial territory in the VD)? Is there any sort of Storyteller intervention?
