Is there a special power or edge that removes fatigue faster than normal? It would seem like, given the cost, Regeneration should do it (it would be weird to spend 15 points on full regeneration but you can be easily fatigued).

The Revive modifier of the Healing power allows you to remove Fatigue.

There's also Succor, but it's a core rules power.

[PenBoy99]

Could you just get the modifier without the healing power, because he can't heal anyone else.

[PenBoy99]

Or, I wonder if we could just make it a modifier to regeneration. If you've spent your 15 points for max regeneration, and can regrow your body, the next thing it could start on is every round tackling fatigue once it's done with wounds.

The Revive modifier (+2) only works once per day per victim, and caps at 1 level. Which means, for this guy, it would work once each day, giving him 3 effective levels of Fatigue before Incapacitation. Which doesn't sound like what you're after, but does counteract a lot of my following.

Just my own 2 cents, but I think if you try and mix healing capabilities into powers more associated with a combatant hero you lose some flavor of the super heroes setting. IMO the rules work well as they are, but that does mean that healers are often odd ball heroes with more of a support role - really not a bad thing. The best way IMO to handle fatigue management (and wound management) is to have a PC with Heal + Revive (2) swappable with another power. Unless your running a Street Heros campaign, that still leaves that PC with enough points to have an effective attack power and build in a decent defense.

We're trying to replicate Dorian Grey's (League of Extraordinary Gentlemen) or Wolverine's (Marvel Comics) super-regeneration. It's a one-trick pony. We wanted to include fatigue but limiting it to damage-caused fatigue sounds fine. We'd also want to make avoiding shaken fairly easy - he's oblivious at this points to wounds, so shooting him unless it's a mess of damage doesn't bother him. This, other than Ageless, is really his only superpower.

Thank You

Hmm, it would take figuring out what effect the character isn't immune to.

If it was truly a Dorian Grey type, it'd be cool to say the character isn't immune to effects applied to their portrait.

Ha! That would be funny if you had to activate it before going into combat!
Carry around a can of spraypaint and do a quick sketch on a convenient wall...

Well, technically, Dorian Grey is a very nice example of a Device modifier, I'd think... though I do like the idea of having to throw up a tag for invincibility. Some creepy Saint Death cartel shaman would actually be pretty scary. Would also be nifty for a classical geomancer/seal of solomon kind of guy or a Chinese sorcerer. That would actually be an awesome Super Sorcerer Device limitation, come to think of it (you have to draw the characters/pentagram, and if someone messes with it so much for the power), or an option to reduce the Power Cost of any power by casting it as a Device.

Also, people overestimate regeneration. You just have to come up with some way to keep hurting him... like napalm. Nobody is a very effective combatant when they're doused in flames. I mean, I guess he could go hug people... Or, of course, there's always blowing his brains out from a sufficient distance (and, yes, hoping he critically fails his Vigor roll), but I suppose those are both sort of in the "penalty box" conditions.
