Comic Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 3's a (slightly underpowered) martial artist. A few more points in dexterity -- er, she _is_ dextrous, yes? -- and a 6 SPD (she's a fast woman, no?) and she'd be a match for any ninja, especially in the dark (given that N-ray vision). If she goes the two-weapon route (Rapid Attack + Two Weapon Fighting as a slot in the Whip multipower), at 6 SPD she could dish out a dozen 8d6 strikes a Turn. I would skip the mentalism, given that her natural mental superiority is already demonstrable in her imagination and professional training, so she has nothing to prove in that arena. Also, given her psych lims, it'd be a bit of playing counter-type. Plus anyone who she could mind control would do things for her willingly anyway, I expect. I'd also skip gadgeteering. Again, her mental superiority is already established, so no need to prove it with props and toys. Not that I believe 3's unwilling or incapable of fully exploiting such, but because they're gilding the lily. She's so self-sufficient as built, there's no need. IMO. Increasing and improving social skills.. I believe she's social enough, as described. From what I can tell, all 3 really has to do is realize that with the lights out and a whip in hand, she is one of the most dangerous people in any room, once she cuts loose.

Lord Liaden Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 Re: Concubine Seeks New Position Since she's been on Earth 3 has probably gained a lot more "experience" with human anatomy, which would justify a significant Find Weakness -- "Humans Only" should be worth up to -1 Limitation, which could up her FW roll significantly. OTOH she has N-Ray Perception, so she could have learned to use that to FW more generally. If she's really that good at seducing other people, she might have Combat Skill Levels RSR (Seduction) representing causing people to hesitate so they're easier to hit, or distracting them so they have a harder time hitting her. I notice that her background text mentions a "Flash Attack" (is that really what it sounds like? ) OAF, but there's no mechanical write-up for it on her sheet. I also want to point out that since she's already described as having "scented fur patches" on her body, a Radiation Accident to give her some sort of scent-based mind controlling ability would not be unreasonable.

Narratio Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 Re: Concubine Seeks New Position I'd agree with Comic and CO. Skip the powers completely. She needs to be much more of an adventuress. Increased skills with weapons, a few gadgets and contacts, lots and lots of contacts! MANY contacts. That way you can expand upon the love slave concept. She gets taken to parties where she meets famous people who then invite her to other parties and keep her name at the top of the invite list. A superior Paris Hilton if you will. She needs to know something, she pull out the phone and calls. Males will answer her every time, she never gets put on hold etc. And the those contacts get her PERKS!!! Diplomatic passports from a dozen small countries, freedom to carry tactical nukes in a handbag... whatever. Contacts to the famous and infamous, jailers and jailees, that's the way to go.

The Weapon Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 Re: Concubine Seeks New Position Canned wine?! Great googley moogley! I think all the sommeliers in the world just fainted in horror - and disgust. I've only heard of canned wine once before, in a comedy song by "The Firm" called "Arthur Daley E's alright" about the dodgy entrepeneur in the TV Series "Minder". ARTHUR DALEY ('E's Alright) (The Firm 1982) Chorus: Alright my son, Leave it out As it 'appens its your shout Straight up, Pull the other In a right 2 and 8 What's the damage Chief? Who's your mate? The geezer with the bunny in the trilby 'at Reckons he's legit but he ain't all that Arthur Daley, little dodgy maybe, but underneath, 'E's alright. Propping up the bar at the Winchester Club "A V.A.T. on the slate please Dave" Terry's still looking for a sub. Arthur's onto a nice little earner Terry's getting agg and the chance of an hernia Minding the disco down some boozer Giving him a slap but he's onto a loser Pound to a penny that he don't get paid On account of the recession in the used car motor trade Terry's piling up the Zeds Been up on a job all night When all of a sudden there's an horrible scream And somebody's switching on the light It's Arthur, Y-fronts caught in his zip Brahms & Liszt an' he needs a place to kip Terry gets the hump with Arthur 'cos he Won't go home 'cos of 'Her Indoors' "She'd kill me Terry, odds on bet I ain't got the bottle; Ain't you got that kettle on yet?" Checking out his stock in the lock-up Arthur's havin' a fit 'Ere where's them magazines with the 'Erbets in the leather And the bird with a whip (inaudible comment)Says Terry (Inaudible comment) "Cheap jibe Terence. Try to understand Got a punter coming round gonna take em off me hands Got a part exchange, claret from Japan A vintage year, and he does 'em in five gallon cans" Chorus (Spoken) So he's got a couple of Nelson Riddles going, Who ain't ? Don't make you a villain, do it ? And he sells the odd dodgy motor now and then Well, it ain't a crime is it ? Well yeah, it's a crime, yeah, technically But it's a bit under the arm the way the(inaudible) Sit on his daily giving him GBH on the ear'ole all the time I mean, just 'cos he happens to have done a bit of bird for petty when he was a saucepan He aught to do them for inflammation of character I reckon You know what Chisholm said ? He said "I know how Arthur Daley'll die I said "How's that" He said "he'll fall off the back of a lorry" Bit strong, definitely out of order, Know what I mean?

Legatus Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 Re: Concubine Seeks New Position Coming back to 3: I favor the idea of her having followers from the ranks of VIPER, UNTIL or whatever dwells in her universe. It sounds like a lot of fun. Then many contacts and perks...might work, too. And yeah, she needs a cool weapon to be combat effective and thus even more adorable! Perhaps a green glowing ring lying just besides that weird lantern. Or a gun connected to a strange backpack, left behind by these men who were fighting a giant marshmallow man. Or one of those fancy light sabres? Maybe this Cable-guy can give her access to his arsenal. Or she happens to stumble upon a certain amulet connected to the magical power of another dimension. No give her all of these items, but only one at a time and only for the course of one adventure. VPP: OAF only! She lends items from famous friends.

Narratio Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 Re: Concubine Seeks New Position Okay, adding to my previous suggestion (and why did everybody divert to 'skank' instead of 'amazingly well connected'? Should I have said 'David Frost'? Jeez!) how about a fount of all wierd knowledge. She doesn't sleep much, is knew to the planet, so what does she do? Watches the boob tube. Give her the worlds largest Area of Knowledge. I mean huge. Covering everything and nothing at the same time. This is a good RP prop, believe me. Whatever is happening, let her throw down some little known facts, instant lies actually, straight off the top of her head and let them become part of your game. Not game aspects, but world history. Stuff which the bazillions of TV channels in this world would have shown. The History channel, the Biography Channel, the cooking channel, animal planet, discovery, national geographic, the BBC, MTV, RAI, Canal 5, CCTV, everything. It's pure background. But offhand comments like "Oh yeah, that was first painted by Sir Botulph LaMigre in 1528, the Vatican has the only copy" or "In Bangladesh they eat those while the eyes get boiled down for printers ink" can fire the other players imagination and really fill in the world you're making.
