Mind Control missing from Rules FAQ?

[Derek Hiemforth]

I just noticed that there's no entry for Mind Control in the Powers section of the rules FAQ. Is that right? Have there really been no questions about Mind Control?

There have been questions, but someone keeps telling us to "forget about them." :)

[Steve Long]

Great. Now someone's gonna cook up a Mind Control question just to claim "first dibs!". ;)

These aren't the mind control questions you're looking for? ;)

From the next FAQ:

Mind Control

...There are no questions about Mind Control...

Mind Link

...

I might as well give a question. Exactly what level of Mind Control do you need in order to speak through the victom's voice? Like how Malick does using his Milimum Rod in Yu-Gi-Oh.

[Balok]

I'm not familiar with Yu-gi-oh to know exactly what you're referring to.

If you want the target to repeat words you send telepathically, then it would depend on what you wanted him to say, and how that fit in with his beliefs. It wouldn't be as hard as making him take an action, because words can be taken back, especially once people realize he was coerced.

If you want to override his mouth, literally linking your brain to his nervous system? Hmmmm. Not sure about that one. I'd have to think about the best way to simulate that.

I recommend you open up a thread over in Champions or Hero System; you'll get a lot more suggestions.

My instict saysit should be bought as Images not Mind Control

Guys, if you want to discuss how-to questions, let's move the discussion over to "HERO System Discussion" so more people will take note, eh? ;)

Your right, boss. Will do.
