Kikaida

For those that know what I'm talking about, how would you do the flute trick?

I don't know what you're talking about.

Me either. Does it have anything to do with:

 

"And one time, at band camp...."

I'd say it's just an SFX for a Mind Link to the bots controlled by what's his name, and the SFX for an attack on Kikaida. The attack would take a bit of thought. Basically, it's a mind control. He can resist it, but it causes enough pain to be a major distraction, and even drop him to his knees. After figuring out how to get the effect over long distances, I'd build the two linked, with a MC and an Ego Attack, but with a custom limit on the Ego Attack that it doesn't go off if the MC succeeds. Might dig around in the sections on MC for specific limits, like requiring a set effect. The pain he has when he's throwing it off would be an SFX. The range is probably best handled with megascale area of effect, selective. It'd be only vs. bots. It also seems like a Continuous attack.

 

Just a few random suggestions. I'm sure if you give a detailed description of the effects of the flute, you'll get a number of better replies.

Switch On! 1 - 2 - 3!

 

I'd consider something like a DEX suppress or something. Int suppress? I dunno. Perhaps a linked PRE attack, but that doesn't have a continuous effect like the flute does.

 

Tricky effect to nail down, that one.

I'd call it Mind Control with appropriate limitations - probably a small cumulative one. To build the effect that Kikaider suffers pain from resisting it, I'd give him Mental Defense with Side Effect: Takes Damage. That way, he can either resist (and feel pain) or follow orders.

The side effect on MD is a great idea.
