Opale Posted August 13, 2016 Report Share Posted August 13, 2016 Hey peeps ! I need a name for a "powerless" superheroine based on Whipfighting. Picture based on Sydney of the Danger girls comics And maybe an advise or two to make her quite different from the "Lash" of the Solo Villains book Opale, snapping her whip!

bigdamnhero Posted August 13, 2016 Report Share Posted August 13, 2016 Make her a young girl and you could call her Whipper Snapper. As for Powers, there's only so much you can do with a normal whip, and I think Lash covers most all those bases. The only thing I can think to add might be an Indirect attack where she attacks the chandelier overhead dropping it on her victims? The only way to really make her different IMO would be to give her a high-tech whip, more like Marvel's Whiplash. Or maybe the whip injects its target with toxins/nanites/whatever causing various Drains, etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amorkca Posted August 13, 2016 Report Share Posted August 13, 2016 Following a series of Legion of Superheroes, perhaps she could be Whiplass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe the whip injects its target with toxins/nanites/whatever causing various Drains, etc? Normal is relative - this is still the Champions Forum, so even with a "normal" whip she would be martial artist level skilled using it. Generally weapon "Reach" is build as a highly limited form of Stretching. The rules for that are even in 6E2. Opale usually uses 5E for wich my resources are highly limited, so no idea if that was the same there. For some odd weapons like Lasso and Whip, I considerd just using basic stretching instead of Reach. You can do stuff that Reach had limited out, because it made sense for the sword examples - but simply will not make sense for the Whips, Lassos Kusari-Gamas, etc. Mostly a whip is Stretching + Focus. You can attack damage shield users, without taking the effect. If your weapon is indestructible, consider just using "Telekinesis, Restrainable, Limited Range" instead. It might be cleaner then a Indestructible Focus. Using two of them would allow a lot more maneuvers. You could have Spiderman style swinging using it. For other examples for Whiplike characters: Darkseids Female Furies includes "Lashina", wich uses some sort of New God Tech bandages like whips. Perhaps her appereances can inspire you to powers?

Absolutely. "Normal" in this context is well covered by Lash from CV3, which the OP was trying to go beyond. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freakboy6117 Posted August 27, 2016 Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 Lol just thinking about various trick whips obviously fire and electricity are the obvious ones but now I'm thinking a ice based whip master called COOL - WHIP. A multi power trick whip might make for an intersting take you could have blades, fire, electricity, acid or toxins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
