Designer's Notes:

1) Floodgate originally paid 10 points for a 10 EGO, and 20 points for a 5 SPD. The errata sheet corrects the error in her SPD (she only needs to pay 10 points for a 5 SPD as [30/10] + 1 = 4 base speed.) It doesn't mention her EGO, however, which I presume is 10 (and have kept it at such). Interestingly, Floodgate is given a 2 ECV in the stat bar at the bottom of the character sheet.

2) Rebuilt Floodgate's Water Manipulation Elemental Control. I added Does BODY to the NND in order to make it work with 5th Edition. I also added Affects Porous to the Telekinesis per the UNTIL Superpowers Database.

3) Floodgate's Combat Skill Levels were dropped from 5 points per level, to 3 points per level. I'd call an Elemental Control a "tight group."

4) Fixed the point values for all Disadvantages. I folded "Hates Water Polluters" and "Compelled to Attack Water Polluters On Sight" into one Psychological Limitation, as she was getting 35 points for them separately, and they seem to basically be two aspects of one Psych Lim.

5) The original version of Floodgate cost 461 points. She now costs 472 points, an 11-point increase. This increase is due to my rebuilding the Elemental Control.

6) Assessment: Floodgate needs a lot of work to become a better character. Ripdtide (Conquerers, Killers, and Crooks) does the water-controlling character better, while Floodgate is really overpowered (30 DEX? 80 STR TK?). I'd try and balance out her Elemental Control, and add a few more powers (like a straight Energy Blast). In addition, making the Elemental Control into a Multipower might work better in the long run.

Oh, if Floodgate is "of average height, but extremely thin," why does she have an 18 BODY?
