Tedology Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 Hello all, As part of my zodiac campaign, I'm going to have the villainess Virgo have mental powers (e.g. mind control, telepathy, etc.) that only affect men. She'll be a siren of sorts. I thought I'd like to have an AOE around her that weakens her male foes' ego as they approach her...thereby making her powers more effective. Would this be a damage shield? Or just a continuous AOE radius? Also, would it be better as a drain, or would it be better as a suppress? If you'd like to share any more ideas that I could incorporate, I'd gladly welcome these as well. Thanks so much! Ted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hyper-Man Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 Drain is probably the easier approach. See these examples of how I used it for Wonder Woman's Golden Lasso of Truth: 5e - http://killershrike.com/MiscCharacters/Contributions/Hyper-Man/Supers/JLA/The%20Amazon.html 6e - http://www.herocentral.net/get/files/premium/Princess+Diana+of+Themyscira+6e+400.HTML Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tedology Posted May 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 Once outside her Influence (Radius) How long does the SFX last? Good question, QM. I figured there would be a residue, but not sure how long would be realistic...perhaps a minute or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like how you made the drain penetrating... meaning that even with Power Defense, there will be an effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 For PCs I'd definitely go with Suppress over Drain, primarily for cost reasons. (You can do all kinds of sick things with Suppress. ) But for NPCs, if it takes time for the effect to wear off once the victim leaves the AOE, then it's definitely a Drain.

Great...thanks for your help, Old Man! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
