Autobahn987 Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 I making a character based on the Extra limb power. I noticed it takes only 5 points to have any number of limbs. So Im making a guy based on using arms to get things done and i want all his powers to be clever little phrases, sayings, or puns containing the word arms. So far i have coat of arms, which is an entangle where a bunch of arms pop out and grab, yah. and arms race which I'm thinking will be a him using his many arms to move quickly. the characters name is Man-at-Arms. Any ideas for powers would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Mackinder Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 Re: Need helps coming up with "arm" powers ARMadillo, or ARMour? Improved defenses. ARMature. Electroshock attack. ARMy. Duplication, perhaps? ARMament. Think about it. ... And I am reluctant to consider what horrors might be brought by "ARMpit". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killer Shrike Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 Re: Need helps coming up with "arm" powers You might find this character useful; his "arms" are invisible and telekinetic, but functionally very little difference. This is a 5e write up; it is slightly illegal in 6e, a slightly tweaked version is necessary to comply with some extra restrictiveness on IPE in 6e.

Bloodstone Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 Re: Need helps coming up with "arm" powers Side Arm: an arm, holding a weapon of some sort, pops out of his side. Forwarned is Fore-armed: The character has danger sense or Precognition (possibly only for the purposes of carrying the correct weapon?) Arm in Arm: The character grows a whole new arm extending from the palm of a hand, possibly multiple times. Stretching. A Farewell to Arms - Major Transform, person with arms to person without. Arm Wrestling - The character detaches an arm (or three) and throws it at the opponent. The arm proceeds to grapple the opponent. This is built as a Summon or perhaps a Constant Entangle. Arm Drag: Martial Throw or some similar takedown maneuver. Arm Lock/Arm Bar: Martial Grab Disarm: levels with Disarm, the Martial Disarm maneuver or perhaps a large HA with incantations, where the character hits the opponent while yelling "Dis' Arm!" (works best with Chicago accent). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nevelon Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 Re: Need helps coming up with "arm" powers Suport your right to arm bears! Extra limbs, useable against others, only on ursines. Or your right to bear arms; cosmetic transform, person with sleeves to person without. If you are using hit locations, PSLs only to get rid of the penalties to hit the arm locations So many bad puns, so little time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobGreenwade Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 Re: Need helps coming up with "arm" powers Nuclear arms: he detaches two of his arms and throws them; they cause a HUGE (MegaScale) explosion in impact.

Sidume Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 Re: Need helps coming up with "arm" powers Stretch Armstrong - Stretching obviously. You may consider buying autofire attacks is the character is multilimbed, or extra speed to show that he is capable of doing things faster than others b/c of his multiple limbs.
