Bloodstone Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 Re: Are there ANY good plant/wood powers names? I almost forgot, my Omega Red homages are plant based! The mother is a villain named Death Bloom (yes, we were going for eXtreme!) However, her heroic children are Wilt and Blossom. They are all plant/life force manipulators.

And what sort of plant powers are we dealing with here? Hero, and more or less 'all of them', or at least the potential for such. At the moment, she has: Phytotoxic Immunity (immune to plant-based poisons) Choking Spores (NND vs Breathing) Might of the Oak (Growth, with extra armor and running linked) Tangling Growth (Entangle) Vine Lash (Stretching + HA) Environmental Movement through undergrowth Vine Swing (swinging) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 Re: Are there ANY good plant/wood powers names? I haven't made any such powers, but it's easy to take plant names and work from those... Grass Widow -- The plant itself is a pretty purple flower. I would assume a power named this is a SPD Drain and KA, area effect, requiring contact with the ground Witch Hazel -- This could be anything, but the plants of this name expel their seeds vigorously (explosively, according to one reference) Voodoo Lily -- Again, this could be anything, but these things smell terrible, like a rotting carcass Sundew -- carnivorous plant, where the trapping part has many "hairs" ending in drops of a very sticky secretion Fireweed -- another pretty purple flower, the plant grows well in disturbed ground and is an "early colonizer" of areas that have been excavated/torn up. With that name, you could have nonbotanical fire-based powers, though. Mandrake -- a plant whose roots are loaded with alkaloids that induce hallucinations; lots has been done with this name Death Camas -- a genus of New World plants that are all rather poisonous. As far as powers, do what you want. Loco Weed -- I assume you can make whatever mental attack you like with this name. Death Cap -- an exceedingly poisonous mushroom. Magic Mushroom -- a generic term for hallucinogenic fungi, again, a variety of illusion or image powers could come from this Foxfire -- bioluminescent tree fungi. Ragweed -- some of the most allergenic weeds in existence. Do what you want for tear-gas like effects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
