phoenix240 Posted December 8, 2017 Report Share Posted December 8, 2017 Does anyone have any suggestions for Powers based on the sfx of causing numbness/loss of feeling over all or in specific areas of the body; aside from Flash vs Touch, of course. I want to flesh out a One Trick Pony villain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsatow Posted December 8, 2017 Report Share Posted December 8, 2017 Powers: Aid to CON Stun Healing Damage Reduction Stun Only Flash vs. Touch Dex/CV drain Invisible Constant Stun Drain on Trigger (because they are numb they don't know how badly they are hit and take a few more stun per hit, since its separate from the attack which triggers it, its doesn't stun them) Aid to PD/ED vs. Stun Only Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Democracy Posted December 8, 2017 Report Share Posted December 8, 2017 I would also have a drain on STR (grab only) as victims would have difficulty holding onto things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninja-Bear Posted December 8, 2017 Report Share Posted December 8, 2017 Drain Dex. Losing feeling in feet would make doing things like running, jumping , etc. people who lose limbs take a long time to readjust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thia Halmades Posted December 8, 2017 Report Share Posted December 8, 2017 You’re looking for Extra Con, only to ignore being dazed (aka CON Stunned, -1). Or, simplify your life, make him “a construct” (even if he isn’t) and STUN I.e. pain becomes a non issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix240 Posted December 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 I was envisioning the character as being able to induce numbness in others but doing it to themselves is interesting too and would make then a little more durable. Many of the suggested Powers would make a great addition for Team Buffer type or minor mastermind that fields allot of oddly tough agents, I had one odd idea about rekinning some martial arts maneuvers to represent aspects of their power. Martial Flash (Touch), Martial Escape (sudden body wide numbness makes to grapple), Martial Disarm (numbs weapon hand), throw/Trip (numbs feet/legs), etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninja-Bear Posted December 9, 2017 Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 That could work Phoenix240. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure that only to ignore CON Stunned is worth -1. That seems like the primary use of CON to me. Is a -1 value used in any established character?

Well, you have to be really quick, because Flash is a speedster. And if it's Kid Flash, he'll probably yell "Bad Touch!" and go tell his parents.

BoloOfEarth Posted December 13, 2017 Report Share Posted December 13, 2017 On a serious note, how would one model making the foe unable to speak clearly because his lips and tongue are numbed? Images to Hearing (giving a penalty to others' ability to understand the target)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Images to Hearing (giving a penalty to others' ability to understand the target)? Images to Hearing is probably best. With the appropriate PER Roll they could figure it out. You just need to build it to be on the target character, not on the hex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tech Posted December 28, 2017 Report Share Posted December 28, 2017 This brings to mind a power someone in the campaign wants to build: a strike in the pressure points to numb a limb so a person can't use it. Sorta like Ty Lee from Avatar: Last Airbender. The concept is to strike a hand/arm/foot/leg to numb it so it can't be used. Someone suggested a Dex Drain but I'm not sure about that as it doesn't stop someone from still using affected limb. So, how would you build it?

dsatow Posted December 28, 2017 Report Share Posted December 28, 2017 You could do it in several ways IIRC there is a variant rule in HSMA or UMA which states the nerve strike can be used to paralyze a person based on the amount of stun done by the NND. The stun would be treated as Body to determine if the part struck was impaired or temporarily disabled. You can do it as a partial Transform. The partial transform effect would be that the limb doesn't move. The full transform effect would be total paralysis. You can do it as an entangle that takes no damage from attacks and only from Con (substituting con for str). You can do it as mind control:set command paraylsis. You can do it as a drain with a variable effect. Drain say Str for Arms. Drain Running for Legs. Drain Dex for hands. Etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The easiest would be to look at paralysis under entangle and put an extra limitation of only one limb at a time. Since limbs for handcuffs is a -1 and that ties up 2 limbs , I would say perhaps -1 1/2 - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ninja-Bear Posted December 29, 2017 Report Share Posted December 29, 2017 I believe paralysis is based on CON. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
