CrosshairCollie Posted October 8, 2004 Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 One of the things I like about 5th Edition is the little power names ... instead of just using your 'Armor Piercing Blast', you have the 'Focussed Beam' or even 'Eldritch Crystal Attack'. It's just nifty to me ... so I'm wondering what the favorite little power-name you've put on a character sheet ... whether it was just dripping style, a horrible pun, or just something you couldn't resist stealing. So far, mine is for the character I named my forum name after, who has a VPP Gadget Pool called 'THIS is my BOOMSTICK'! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paigeoliver Posted October 9, 2004 Report Share Posted October 9, 2004 Re: Spiffiest Power Name? "I thought you were dead!" with "Run Away, Run Away" coming a close second. For some reason I want an excuse to use "Lips like chicken" as a power name, but I can't think of a good reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'McGuffin bombs' single command area effect continuous mind control grenades that telepathically convinced those nearby that it, the bomb, was the most important thing in the world. They didn't take out major baddies but they spread chaos among the flunkies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supreme Posted October 15, 2004 Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 Re: Spiffiest Power Name? "Athena's Sight: N-Ray Vision, not through sea-water" Athena is the goddess of wisdom. Wisdom is being able to "see" (in a "sense") what is hidden to most. Thus, N-Ray was called for. The obscurring phenomenon is sea-water because Athena and Poseidon have a long standing feud, and because the ocean is a classic symbol of the personal subconscious - the classic barrier to wisdom.
