Truthsayer Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 Ok, I knew I saw it somewhere, and I mistaked this question for killer shrike. The cyclops on your website. What is the side effect? http://x-men.the-wild-hunt.org/cyclops.html I can't figure it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csyphrett Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 Re: Ghost Archer! Explain this please! I'm not GA but it looks to me that the side effect is environmental damage if visor removed like pulling a street light for an entangle CES Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superskrull Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 Re: Ghost Archer! Explain this please! I'd think the side effect reads that the beam is on if the visor is off. Well, if there's no ruby quartz coverings and his eyes are open. Seems to simulate his little control problem fairly well, y'know? It probably looks a little confusing since people tend to use shorthand when writing up fairly well-known characters. After all, it is a writeup of a character with some easily documentable disads.

Killer Shrike Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 Re: Ghost Archer! Explain this please! Actually it sumulates it pretty poorly, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

logomancer Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 Re: Ghost Archer! Explain this please! For Cyclops, you could by his Optic Blast with "Uncontrolled", then buy a naked modifer to buy off the Uncontrolled, but make it OIF or OAF: Visor. Thus, without his visor, his Optic Blasts cannot be controlled and fire off, destroying everything he's looking at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardinal Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 Re: Ghost Archer! Explain this please! I believe it is out of favor with Steve et al, but I have always liked the variable limitation route -1/2 Variable Limitation ((a) OAF - Battle Visor (-1); ( Uncontrolled or © Side Effect (Blind)). You basically set the Variable Lim with the possible disadvantages and the player cycles between them. It seems less clunky than buying off the lim with a focus IMHO. I had a Force Field character with this type of disad that worked pretty well. Unfortunately, that campaign ended pretty quickly so I was not able to pressure test the design.

You probably mean No Conscious Control, probably as a variant at the -1 Level. However, the version "Uncontrollable Eye Blasts" presented in the Champions Genre book sidebar works best IMO.
