Nagisawa Takumi Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 Okay, I want a disadvantage for this Pyro, to simulate his lack of control, and the constant build up of plasma-fire energy. The set up is: He has to use his abilities in some fashion or they'll build until his body starts expelling the excess fire, usually in some sort of firestorm effect. I want this to be powerful, enough to wipe out a large area, but he's got no control, and it can last up to 10 minutes or more. It was suggested on my other thread that it could be used as a Berserk, but I'm at a loss as to how to do it. Help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berserk When haven't expelled energy in >x time (Uncommon) Chance to Go 8<, Chance to recover 14 <, 15 points. Assuming GM agrees Berserk always results in use of 'Firestorm' power which would need to be built to last for 10 minutes (Uncontrolled, Continuous, lockout, maybe a specific limit that renders you immobile while using it and the assumption that if you're berserk you pump as much end into as you can). This power would always be an option even w/o going berserk but perhaps w/ more control over end spent. After x time roll every round to maintain control, once Firestorm is released roll ever round to regain control. Could also consider Accidental change to a Firestorm Form Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boomer Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 Re: Disads, how would one do this one! Just curious.....wouldn't he be either contained somehow or locked up until needed because of the potential for disaster? You may have to buy some kind of containment armor for him or something. It's an interesting concept, but leaves room for all kinds of trouble.... although it's a definite challenge Role Playing wise.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrosshairCollie Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 Re: Disads, how would one do this one! Hmm. Give him an ENDReserve, a regular version of the Firestorm attack, and a Phys Lim: Firestorm goes off at zero range when ENDReserve overloads (IE Recovers when already full)?
