transfer/aid w/ limited points

[saffo]

Build a power that progressively drains stun over an area effect from the character’s enemies. At the same time it progressively adds those points to his allies. None of the points can be used by the character and the power has an active point limit of 75.

some sort of ranged transfer usable by others not usable by self

 

I'm not sure how I would handle the pool effect.

 

Possibly a transfer to an "aid battery" not usable by self that is ranged

Re: transfer/aid w/ limited points

 

You're definitely looking at two powers here. But the problem is, an AE Selective Drain is fairly expensive. You're looking at a (+1.25) advantage on a power that's already 15 points per die.

 

You could alternatively buy it as a Drain, AE Selective, and link an END reserve to it. Then run an AE Selective Succor off the end reserve, triggered by the Drain (looking at a +1.5 advantage now), limited Only Up To Active Points Drained (-1/2). Now you're chewing up not a ton of your own endurance, and you're having a noticeable effect on the battle.

 

 

By any chance, is this power idea from City of Heroes? Sounds familiar.

I dont play city of heroes, but it seems like a prevalent power type for many computer games.

Re: transfer/aid w/ limited points

 

Adding to STUN runs up against limits quickly and drains away, so sidestep the problem:

 

Area of effect selective transfer STUN to RECOVERY, useable by others but not by self (you'd have to specify how many of your chums get to use it and pay for the advantge accordingly)

 

Don't have to book to look up exact values but, so it may be out but:

 

TRANSFER 15 AP for 1d6 (STUN TO REC) + 16 added to pool (+8 AP) to total 22 points to transfer.

 

Advantages

Selective AE radius (+1.25)

UBO (+1 for 4 other people to use it)

 

Real cost: 75, active points 75

 

Howzat?

 

(or you can do it STUN to STUN, but that will fade and limits how much stun you can add)

Don't have time right now, but "drains Stun" doesn't have to be an adjustment power - it could be an Invisible AOE EB. Link to an Aid....?
