worldshaking00 Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 I tried looking through my books for suggested powers, but I cannot find the power (although I swear I had it, and that it was nearer the front of a book). The power was to duplicate a beautiful character's sexy costume's effect when he/she uses it. I think it went something along the lines of... +20 PRE (-1): only for making seductive PRE-based attacks/skills) (-1/2) OIF: costume ...I thought there was more to it though...and I seem to remember the final cost was near 4 points, but my memory fails me. I KNOW the power was written up somewhere. Can anyone point me to the book/page and/or rewrite the power here? Thanks for your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vulcan Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 Re: Sexy costume power I know it was in Gadgets & Gear but my copy disappeared somewhere along the line. It might be in Dark Champions as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egyptoid Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 Re: Sexy costume power I would buy Transform, area effect radius, OIF, always on, penetrating, only versus females: transform from current psych disads into jealous crabby woman.

proditor Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 Re: Sexy costume power I actually used distracting costume for one of my conversions. It was based on my remembered reaction to the original art, and reinforced by my reaction when I saw the art again recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

proditor Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 Re: Sexy costume power Link? Sure, though I only have a link for the cover art right now from the Jeff Dee Gallery. I'll post the full pic when I finish the conversion. http://paratime.ca/v_and_v/pics/vav/iridiumcon.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worldshaking00 Posted August 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 Re: Sexy costume power Gadgets and Gear. Cool. I know I bought the book...now just to find it...

gmurie Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 Re: Sexy costume power You'll have to add the limitation "power does not work after a heavy meal" or "Side Effects: If character puts on a few pounds PRE can only be used to repulse or annoy." Situational bonuses to PRE based skills should be free, since ANYONE with a COM over a certain level can get the same effect. The character's default all the time Seduction and Persuasion skills should be high no matter what s/he is wearing. After all, put an average normal person in a costume like THAT and what you get is more horrifying than anything else. I created a character (actually one Multiform of many) who's power was that he was that guy no woman could say no to. It was just done with PRE:30, COM:20 and Persuasion, Seduction, and Conversation bought up to 17- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the COM goes down, so does the bonus (to negatives as needed). There are some people who should go nowhere near a fur loincloth or chain mail bikini.

Though there always were one or two girls there who could carry it off. Made it almost worth having to look at the ones that couldn't. Not that you could get NEAR the girls who were able to carry it off for all the desperate sweaty nerds clustered around them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemphyre Venus prior to the haircut... now more Neptune (though would need hair dye). As for me, not really built for the role... I'm more Wolverine sized... and almost as scruffy looking on most days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
