OddHat Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 Re: [Character] Sybyl Nice, fills her role well. Some quick thoughts: Her Teleport Fixed Floating Location is eligable for a -1/4 since it's part of the ring. It's only a point, but she might as well take it (imo). I might trade out her Saw it Coming for something like an "I Sense a Weakness" offensive or killing strike; she already has a flying dodge and a big chunk of extra DCV from Precog, and a second dodge gets a bit redundant. She doesn't actually have to move when using her flying dodge. That sense collection plus Telepathy should make any secrets of the PCs go away very quickly. Pretty scary out of combat, and not the pushover the players might think in a fight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killer Shrike Posted June 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 Re: [Character] Sybyl Gotta uphold the fine Champions tradition of the art not matching the description Like I said -- 1st rough pass. I built out the character fast while listening in on a very boring technical call. Ill go thru and tidy up later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nexus Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 Re: [Character] Sybyl Coincidentally I was just looking over some of the clairsentience powers in the Ultimate mentalist when I saw this characters (or was it?). Very nice design. She sort of reminds me of Destiny(?) from Marvel comics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nekkidcarpenter Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 Re: [Character] Sybyl Ah, and I liked Ing so much......... This seems like the type of character that I wouldn't even bother to put points on. If its necessary for the plot, she knows exactly what the pc's plans are and how to respond. And when it finally comes time for them to beat her then some psych or phys lim applies and they manage to overcome her foreknowledge somehow. I find that if I actually build this type of thing then it turns out to be too powerful and flexible for the pc's to beat. They come up with a plan, I think about whether it would work for a while and then realize that no, it won't. By not actually putting points into the character, when they come up with a cool enough plan, lo and behold, it works. Note that I only do that with this type of foe.

nexus Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 Re: [Character] Sybyl Yup' date=' she does indeed. Definitely an influence.[/quote'] I like how you built her with normal human characterisics and used Powers to build her up from there, seems more "realistic" than giving her a sky high dex/spd or something similar as a shortcut.

Cardinal Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 Re: [Character] Sybyl Interesting character and a great addition to a team. Quick question. Why did you buy Guidance three times? Would it have been cheaper to go with UBO Simultaneously x4. That would presumably allow each of the 4 recipients to choose how to apply the level. I suspect I have misunderstood something here. 12 1) Guidance: +1 Overall, Ranged (+1/2), UAA (+1) (25 Active Points); Others Only (-1/2), Must Be Using Seer's Vision (-1/4), Must Be Mindlinked To Target (-1/4) 12 2) Guidance: +1 Overall, Ranged (+1/2), UAA (+1) (25 Active Points); Others Only (-1/2), Must Be Using Seer's Vision (-1/4), Must Be Mindlinked To Target (-1/4) 12 3) Guidance: +1 Overall, Ranged (+1/2), UAA (+1) (25 Active Points); Others Only (-1/2), Must Be Using Seer's Vision (-1/4), Must Be Mindlinked To Target (-1/4) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UBOS would mean all targets get the same bonus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killer Shrike Posted June 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 Re: [Character] Sybyl Yeah, the idea is they are three separate bonuses that she sets separately. Also, she is in control of what the bonus goes to, and she can take away a bonus when she wants to. With UBO Simul, the targets are in control of the power.
