GrimJesta Posted January 20, 2004 Report Share Posted January 20, 2004 My girlfriend posed a question to me last night. She asked how would you simulate Rogues ability to Drain someone, then gain there powers. My reply was that I thought it would be an END Drain (as they get all weak and stuff) linked to a Variable Power Pool. Is this even remotely the way to go? Maybe with Variable Side Effects, like in the movies she gained Wolverine's bad temper (PsychLim type side-effects as well as physical). The limitations would that you have to use the Drained persons powers in the VPP only, for a certain duration. Is this even close or am I waaaaaaaay off? -=Grim=- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monolith Posted January 20, 2004 Report Share Posted January 20, 2004 Check out the UNTIL Superpowers Database. Rogue's power is in the Miscellaneous Powers section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Goodwin Posted January 20, 2004 Report Share Posted January 20, 2004 I did it with a STUN + BODY Drain (because she can and has killed with it) linked to Telepathy, with a mimic Variable Power Pool. My fourth edition writeup of Rogue is here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
