Character Concept: Necrosia

[Magmarock]

Heya people!

 

I am working on a PC for my brother's campaign.

 

Her codename is Necrosia; she is a teleporting energy blaster who's powers feed off of her own body on a cellular level. Thus, her END Reserve which powers her MP (Attack powers only) has a Side Effect that causes her COM & CON to drop along with her END Reserve. She has Regeneration on the cellular level too, which means she can come back from the dead.

 

I'm having some trouble getting her down to 350 points, obviously. She is still 122 CP over (I haven't started the Disads yet, so they aren't reflected in the total points).

 

I'm still waiting for my brother to let me know what the major skill-sets are on the other PCs, so I know that her skills will be scaled back.

 

Have a look-see and tell me what you think.

 

Thanks in advance!

I jst played around a little with your charater, I would put the phase shift muiltpower on Actation 13- and give it 8 charges. This save just over 35 points. I would also lose the regen and END reserve, You can always buy them with experience.

Here, this is what I'd do with this character.

I've reduced the DEX a little, so any points saved in skills should go straight into DCV levels most likely. I've compensated for this with a bonus to her levels with the multipower, which may need reigned in.

 

Overall there where several things that concerned me about the build though. Firstly the DEX was really high considering the character has no powers to justify it. Secondly, the phasing multipower seems to have a whole bunch of different slots just to give her every possibly advantage on teleport. I prefer powers that work consistently, so your teleport either has position shift or not, you don't generally have different versions with and without it.

 

The main thing I added was a force field for protection, it's in the multipower and can only be run at a low level using full movement/attack powers. However, when the character needs more defence he can scale back his movement and attack abilities in order to pump more points into the force field.

 

The build I've done also reduces her power levels in a sustained fight massively due to the high end cost of powers and the END reserves low recovery rate. The main reason for this (aside from a points saving excercise) is that I reckon cellular energy isn't quickly or easily replenished... so draining your cells of their vitality takes a while to fully recharge. However, she should still be extremely effective for a few turns and it's rare combat will expand beyond that.

 

P.S. I included EGO in the characteristics that go down with the END reserve both as a points save and as a kind of... ugh, weakening, can't focus... type of situation.
