hooligan x Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 I have two new players joining my campaign re-boot, neither have played Champs. One of them is playing Caliope, a sonic energy projector. She has control issues with her power and can't speak for fear of BlackBolting the hell out of everything, so her techie uncle has made a device that she can safely speak through and also fine tune her sonic whammy. Ruby quartz is not involved. Am I looking at a Multipower with a quasi-focus, a no point special effect, a disad, or a combo? Any fun sonic tricks up your sleeves?

tgrandjean Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 Re: Sonic Character Build help needed I'd go with the quick and easy Side effect: EB or RKA w/ + possible linked sonic SFX Flash if the focus is removed. They wouldn't get the disad bonus from Focus unless they lose the Multipower if the foci is removed; it is certainly an option though if the character can access her side effects (without control) without the device. Just watch that they aren't getting an actual benefit from what is supposed to be a disadvantage. As for fun stuff, try asking the player what their attack sounds like. Is it a scream, or is it the voice of MOM? Let them come up with clever quips to yell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilkmanDan Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 Re: Sonic Character Build help needed Let's see, lots of running, a Follower named Tails, an addiction to easily-dropped floating golden rings . . . Huh? Oh. Dang. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooligan x Posted January 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 Re: Sonic Character Build help needed Without the device, Caliope can only use her power for one attack, a huge AE-cone EB which is triggered whenever she speaks. With the device, certain spoken words will cause different effects. Oh, and she's deaf from the first time her power manifested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilkmanDan Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 Re: Sonic Character Build help needed On a more serious note, work in some Drains. Special effect can be the sound frequency is so high it interferes with the nervous system (DEX Drain), confidence (PRE Drain), or the ability to think clearly (INT Drain). INT drains can be mighty nasty. Could also do a Change Environment matching in all sorts of nasty side effects from the same sort of thing.
