Hello,
I am about to start playing and have looked at creating a character. But I dont have an idea of what to do. The DM is the only person who has the experience to help with this, but he is also spending a lot of time with others. So to speed things up, I'd like to put a character idea your way, so you can pick holes in it and make some suggestions.
The reason I am doing this, is that a few years back I played runequest, and ended up with a weak character that just seemed to heal the wounded. I dont want to change characters after a while and end up falling behind.
Character idea:
Elemental nuclear reaction controller.
Restricted to own body, after nuclear accident.
Must maintain great deal of mental effort to control the reaction, while in comany of others to prevent hurting them.
Can reduce control to produce reaction and heat which can be directed/released.
Has bio-suit which can contain the radiation from escaping, and also has built in cooling system. No mental control required.
Cooling system can be controlled to produce intense heat.
Requires daily replenishment of water/fluid.
Can intensionally contaminate the coolant to produce radioactive cloud of gas. But reducing coolant, increases temperature, and require replacement quickly.
Not replacing coolant (daily or through draining it) or loosing control while unsuited (unconcious/mind controlled) would build to meltdown.
Can remove gloves for radioactive killing blow, otherwise blows are standard.
Due to weight of suit (radiation clocking and coolant) has to enhanced strength etc.
Weight means slow acceleration, but great deal of momentum for ramming attacks. Low values on my dodge ability.
Suit suseptable to piercing weapons, which would release radiation. So close attackers would get blasted. Ranged weapons (snipers) could injure friends.
Suit could absorb energy.
Body could absorb radiation (including cosmic)
Any suggestions on changes, weapons and restrictions.
