JmOz Posted November 1, 2003 Report Share Posted November 1, 2003 Make a device that can, in most cases restrain a supervillain for five hours for 30 Active Points or less. The device should have the OIF limitation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starlord Posted November 1, 2003 Report Share Posted November 1, 2003 Matter Rearranging Restrainer 4d6 Major Transform (target loses arms and legs; change back after 5 hours) (only Humans -1/2) (OIF -1/2) Active: 60 Real: 30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superskrull Posted November 1, 2003 Report Share Posted November 1, 2003 It's not too heroic, but... Contract Escort Service -summon call girls (competent normals 75 pts available) x2 total, amicable +1/4 (prepaid) OAF- phone, Incantations 11 pts total -use the rest to get the guy a hotel room and to cover room service This should hold most non-psychotics.

Gary Posted November 1, 2003 Report Share Posted November 1, 2003 I'm assuming you have the villain unconscious or in your power. Otherwise 1 phase knockouts aren't easy. Here are a few that I can think of offhand. 1) A low level mind control or mental illusion with the cumulative advantage. For example, 2d6 mind control X256 effect has a maximum of 3072 and is 30 active points. That's +3062 for the normal thug, or +3052 effect for most supervillains. That would be -604 to the villain's ego roll to break out even assuming he's violently opposed to doing so. If you want a quicker solution, then 3d6 X16 for a maximum of 288 pts of effect will also do the trick. 2) A low level major transform to paralyzed individual will do the trick. 3) A 1d6 drain of Spd or stun, or a 1/2d6 drain of all movements with fade rate bought down to 5 pts/5 hours will also do the trick. 4) Extradimensional travel. You simply leave the opponent in the other dimension until you want him back. 5) Summon a Bigby's Hand with 100 str to keep him grabbed for 5 hours. 6) 1d6 Uncontrolled continuous 0 end NND, or AVLD, or based on ECV energy blast.

CrosshairCollie Posted November 1, 2003 Report Share Posted November 1, 2003 An easy one, if he's already KOed ... 1/2d6 REC Drain, NND (Defense is being conscious or being unliving/inorganic), Continuous, Uncontrolled, 0END, OIF Adenosine Triphosphate Inhibition Device. Slap it on, and it prevents the villain's body from converting its Adenosine Diphosphate to Adenosine Triphosphate, ergo having no new energy to draw on, aka no Recoveries. Admittedly, it's not flawless (it doesn't work on elementals or robots), but it works for any human baddies. The device has a large obvious 'off' switch to interrupt the 'Uncontrolled'.

Brandi Posted November 1, 2003 Report Share Posted November 1, 2003 Re: It's not too heroic, but... Originally posted by Superskrull Contract Escort Service Girls only, huh? Tough luck if the villain's a straight woman, a gay man, or an alien (and forget about the robots, zombies, and other asexual beings)...

Blue Jogger Posted November 1, 2003 Report Share Posted November 1, 2003 2D6 Drain EGO, 1 Fuel Charge for 5 Hours, OIF - Humanoid Mental Restraint Helmet (Pacifier) The target's head is strapped into the helmet that generates Iota waves that within minutes renders the person in a pacified state eager to follow any order given to him. Note that although the target may appear sluggish, he retains most of his cognitive abilities, but will lack the willpower to initiate any action on his own. Warning: In rare cases, the target has injured himself and others when given an unintentional command. Exteme caution should be maintained.

Tough luck if the villain's a straight woman, a gay man, or an alien (and forget about the robots, zombies, and other asexual beings)... Don't be so quick to dismiss them. That summon works on the set group of companions of debatable virtue and negotiable affection. After all, we have an entire Escort Service to tap and they know full well that women, men AND little fuzzy critters from Alpha Centauri have needs to meet and disposable income to burn. I'm sure the management has someone or something to accommodate activities from the feather to the full chicken. 'sides, according to the Heavy Metal movie, robots are into everything from secretaries to major appliances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tough luck if the villain's a straight woman, a gay man, or an alien (and forget about the robots, zombies, and other asexual beings)... I must disagree. 1) Straight woman - according to the highly realistic anthropological data presented in porno movies, all straight women are actually bisexual. Even a minor tiff with a boyfriend, and an attractive female friend with a sympathetic ear, can send them cruising to the Isle of Lesbos. 2) A Gay Man - Confronted with a roomful of hookers would spend at least 5 hours either: a) making them over, or discussing fashion trends. 3) Based on all the Sci-Fi movies I have seen, all aliens, and robots, dig earth women.

talisman Posted November 3, 2003 Report Share Posted November 3, 2003 I'm sorry, but duct tape exceeds the 30 point rule pretty badly. Based on my real world experiences, duct tape represents about a 60 point VPP. There's almost no limit to what this stuff can do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
