Mr. R Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 I am in the midst of making a trio of villians. As a opposite to the Twelve, who were all low powered, this will be three well powered (12-14 dc, 30+ def, speeds 5-8) with lots os levels and skills. So I have a brick with flight and a nasty EB. A rainbow themed Blaster (RKA, EB, Flash etc) My third member though is a speedster, living electricity, who basically runs through his opponents doing damage. So 30" of movement and ....... Would you just make his move-bt/through a special fxs? I was thinking of a HTH attack, with AE to represent his hitting more than one person. Any other ideas?

Hyper-Man Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 Re: Help modeling a power Well, if you want the speedster to actually take the form of electricity (instead of throwing electrical 'blasts') you could go all the way and model that effect. To see what I mean take a look at the Wind Spirit half of my old 5e version of DC's Red Tornado (basically an air elemental spirit inhabiting an android body).

phydaux Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 Re: Help modeling a power My first thought was "It's a Move Through." But the problem there is that the PC takes damage in a Move Through right along with the target. I don't think that fits your concept. I'd buy it as Hand Attack and hand wave the rest.

Binnister Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 Re: Help modeling a power I think a AOE (Line) with a limiter 'Can only effect consecutive hexs/area that he passes through'. Could even add a trigger to it, so that it goes off everytime he makes a full and/or half move in combat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrosshairCollie Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 Re: Help modeling a power Energy Blast, Area of Effect (Trail) would seem to fit the bill. You would probably technically need Desolidification and the EB to Affect Physical World to 'perfectly' match the SFX, but that would probably be pretty broken.

Wyrm Ouroboros Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 Re: Help modeling a power I'd go with Collie's effect, yeah. The 'passing through' is F/X; ignore the Desolid unless it's absolutely required by the rest of the concept and build, and something that he possesses anyhow.

AOE (Trail) would be great with this guy, and I can speak from experience, speedsters with desolid and attacks that affect physical world are pretty broken. Heck, any character that does that is scary. Maybe to represent the "desolid" aspect you could just give him some damage reduction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opale Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 Re: Help modeling a power Funny you ask about that. I just worked on a character for a new player in our table.

psyber624 Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 Re: Help modeling a power Opale, on your character your moving attacks only do 5d6 damage right? I believe you would have to add in a naked advantage for strength with the appropriate AOE in order for your strength to add in, correct?

Hyper-Man Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 Re: Help modeling a power In 6e, HA attacks with Advantages get STR added at a prorated amount depending on the amount of Advantages. So in the case of an HA with +1 worth of combat Advantages it means that STR adds +1 Damage Class per 10 points of STR (1/2 the normal rate). See details in 6e2 pages 100-101. Another way figure out how much STR adds is to take the combined amount of combat Advantages and add +1 to it. Now Divide the character's STR by this total number. The result is how much STR they really get to apply to that Advantaged HA. Example: STR 45 Character with an HA with +1/2 worth of advantages. 1/2 +1 = 1 1/2 1 1/2 = 3/2 45 divided by 3/2 can also be written as 2/3 of 45 which = 30 The character can add 6 DC from STR to the Advantaged HA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daveb Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 Re: Help modeling a power I have a different take on your electric attack. I imagine your character flashes instantly from one place to another, and damages everyone in his path along the way. I would build it as an attack (let's say 3d6 HKA, though electricity could be a No KB Blast, or a NND or whatever) with a Linked Teleport. The attack is AOE Line, so the mechanics would simulate a bolt of electricity jumping across a distance with your character ending up at the other end: Killing Attack 3d6 HKA vs. ED AOE Line, 17m-32m (+1/2) No STR Bonus (-1/2) 45 pts. 32m Teleport (+10 No Relative Velocity) Reduced END - 0 (+1/2) Linked (-1/2) Only through conductive space/material (cannot teleport through unconductive barrier) (-1/4) Can only teleport to end location of AOE Attack (-1/4) 28 pts.
