Baneon Posted November 18, 2004 Report Share Posted November 18, 2004 I'm really noobish on working with the Hero System so please do forgive me. I have this really neat idea (at least I think so) of a Tactical Brick character that kinda has a different powerset then normal but I don't know how to write it up. The idea is to have a stronger/tougher then normal mutant type character who has a pool of powers that are useless before he starts getting hit. Also there's a danger point that if he absorbs to much energy he takes the extra as straight damage with no defenses allowed, so he may need a way to shunt the excess or just leave it that way. Also the more he absorbs the more he'll bleed it into the air but thats SFX speaking. What's everyone think, doable or bleeding insane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supreme Serpent Posted November 18, 2004 Report Share Posted November 18, 2004 Re: Help with a concept Quite doable. Two options immediately come to mind... 1) Absorption. 2) Various stats/powers bought on limits. +X Str, etc. "only if has been hit w/X level of attack in last turn". +Y Str, etc. "only if has been hit w/Y level of attack in last turn", etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mags You can also do this with a susceptability: xd6 damage when absorption is at maximum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
