Is this the most abusive HERO character ever?

Notes:

Dispite the long-running controversy, the 5th Editition rulebook does seem to indicate that time travel EDM is the "legal" way to build time stopping. Who am I to argue? :)

The 1d6 RKA might seem limited, but Time Dude can always make it into an appropriate NDD attack that Does BODY and kill his opponent slowly but surely. After all, time isn't a factor.

Time Dude's one weakness would be that another SPD 12 character with DEX 40 or more (yeah, right...) could theoretically go first in combat and kill him with a single powerful attack before he can active his Time Freeze. The easiest way around this is simply to activate the Power long before entering into any combat situation. ;)

Well, what do you think? Most abusive ever?

Why would your attacks be effective when you are attacking someone in the timestream from outside of it? You either have to attack indirectly in some manner, or build your attacks with transdimensional..

[Yamo]

I should add Transdimensional, I suppose.

Interresting contruct. If for some reason I as GM were to allow it (at the very least, that should involve one hell of a bribe), Time Dude would run into a large pack of Steven King's Langoliers the first time he entered the Frozen Time "dimension".:eek: :eek: :eek:

CRUNCH! CRUNCH! CRUNCH! CRUNCH! CRUNCH!

"Hey!? What's that sound!?"

*slowly ripping paper*
Ahhhhhhhhhhhh........

[Champsguy]

Interesting.

Definitely not the most abusive character ever, but interesting nonetheless. You've obviously never seen some of the characters who made Aid become 10 points per die. :D

One question: How does he reach a flying character?
Another question: What happens when he runs into a character who also has Time Powers? My Speedster had a VPP to simulate superspeed, and he could thus enter into the "moving so fast that time is effectively stopped" dimension.
:cool:

[Champsguy]

You can run this character in our game, but I'm warning you: I'll be playing the character named "100D6 Killing Attack Man". Guess what his power is. :D

[GamePhil]

Well, you were trying to be abusive, so this is only a small problem: The attack, while technically legal, is completely contrary to the recomendation under NND against allowing multiples of such powers.

[Zoth]

Since the GM gets to decide how the physics works on other Dimensions, I would say in the land outside of time you are de-solid to the world and can only use extra dimensional powers to return to the time-stream or for observation purposes :D

Not the most abusive.

You cannot avoid the DEX 41 SPD 12 guy.

ex 1:
GM: You're walking down the street on routine patrol.
TD: I activate my Time Stop Power
GM: OK, everything stops. Now what?

ex 2:
GM: You're walking down the street on routine patrol.
TD: Anything goin on?
GM: Nothing happen until your second hour on the beat. You see a bright streak of light coming towards you. Phase 12..

The only solution is clearly to activate the time stopping Power the second the campaign starts and then never deactivate it. :)

[Old Man]

Ah, but it's not Persistant, so it turns off when you go to sleep ;)

Use Hurry or something.

[Cosmic Man]

I thought this one was abusive in 4th ed.

Off the top of my head.

1/2d6 (std effect 2 points) transfer, area of effect (radius) with multiple increased range, only body from inanimate objects, cannot take the last point of body, reduced fade rate.

Transferred body goes to:
additional top end for transfer
main pool and control cost for a cosmic VPP.

Basically, it's the "FIST OF THE NORTH STAR" power-up power.

It was horribly cheesy and fantastically point-inefficient, I think for every 10 character points transferred, only 1 went to the actual VPP, maybe even less.

But when every hex of dirt has 16 body, and each phase the area of effect swells based on the increased active points of the power...
