Cinniuint Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 Matter Eater Lad? I asked this in another thread, but I think it is an interesting question. Seriously, this guy ate a machine that Superboy and Ultraboy together couldn't even dent. OK, so indigestion was the least of his troubles afterwards, but still...WOW!

patransom Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 Re: How would you build... There's an older edition version here: http://ultimatebattles.com/battledome/ It gives him a 2d6 NND that does body, no range, 1/2 DCV, with the defense: not being made from matter, or having a forcefield that keeps him out of mouth's reach, or tasting awful.

Bloodstone Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 Re: How would you build...

Hyper-Man Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 Re: How would you build... Or just define it as an indestructible focus which makes Transform the only power that 'seems' to be able to destroy it. I believe the rules for Transform state that it can't actually be used to destroy anything so there will always be a method to reverse the transformation (the PC's and Players won't necessarily know that though).

SSgt Baloo Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 Re: How would you build... I'd build it as a NND that does body, with the SFX that the guy is actually biting off, chewing, and swallowing chunks of whatever he's "eating". Of course, the character would just about have to be bought with a bucketload of life support/immunities for the guy to feast upon sulfur without ill effects.

Cinniuint Posted November 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 Re: How would you build... So, NND. The defense could be force field, I suppose. Common enough defense for characters. Not so common for objects. I don't think he actually needed to chew. As large a bite as he could bite off, and he was ready for the next bite. He once felled a flagpole by chewing through it in the middle of a combat. Brought the thing down on his opponent. I'd say that was at least four or five bites, probably eight or ten, in the space of one or maybe two phases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 Re: How would you build... What size RKA do you need to consume an object Superboy couldn't dent? Give him Penetrating. Multiple Levels (2-4). One level of Penetrating is what I would put Solar Plasma at. All otehr "unstopable" attack forces just get more Levels of Penetrating. NND, does body would be the other way. Also note taht Unbreakable Foci get a lot of extra Power Defense agaisnt Transforms, so you would perhaps need an NND Transform. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
