  1. Re: Telekinetic Staff/Sword ? It shouldn't be worth as much as a true OAF, granted, but it's still more limited than a "blast from the eyes" sort of power... Maybe just -1/4 on the Restrainable (-3/4 total with the OIF)?
  2. Re: Theme Super Hero Teams Weather themed Disaster themed (volcanoes, tsunamies, etc) Job themed (AKA the village people) Geologicaly themed (Tectoglyph the earth mage, Molten man the lava brick, Hydrothermal the desolid puff of steam, Geotime the immortal drain/transform artist, Tectonic the concussive MA, etc.) I rather like this one, obviously
  3. Re: limitation (no non-combat multiplier) As a very sporadic player, I got to say this has happened to me as well. All disads should be in the same section and there should ideally be a master list as well (like for the powers) : it would simplify things.
  4. Re: What would you do with this base? Re the flow, I'd say it's not too bad. If it were me I'd knock out the walls of room 5 and 7 on the first floor, possibly close off room 8 and the tip of former room 7 from the big central space thus created (make it an indoor garden or whatnot). Add a few doors on the second floor so its easier to circulate (rooms 9 and 10 in particular) and I think that would do nicely. I very much like Hooligan x's ideas for floor 3 by the way : very functional.
  5. Re: Telekinetic Staff/Sword ? I've put Restrainable on my own versions of instant weapons. This simulates the fact he can be disarmed (though he'll just re-generate his weapons at his next action) and the power won't work if his arms are bound, for exemple.
  6. Re: Hello and question about powers and such 3) Just a quick thought : you could use a reverse drain Side Effect to simulate the fade rate over a week (reverse in the sense that points slowly flow away instead of back). A continuous cumulative drain with extra-time (1 per day) might do as well. A nice touch would be tying it to the character's healing rate in some way (healing away his own powers .
  7. Re: Superpowers that haven't been thought out... My solution was to build-in a slight delay to the *poof*. The power still kept its "uncontrolled" feel while allowing bullets to hit, explosives to detonate, etc.
  8. Re: Superpowers that haven't been thought out... This one is from a personal experience. I was creating NightShift, my teleporter/rifleman and I wanted him to do the "summon weapons out of thin air" bit. I came up with the rationale that he could infused part of his essence in objects and then attract them to him so the bits could rejoin, dragging the object along interdimensionaly. Essence rejoined, the object wants to snap back to its original place so he just has to drop it and *poof*, away it goes. Seemed pretty staight forward. Set up a secret armory closet in his home, bought him his rubber-bullet machinegun to go in it, a bit of C4, a knife, a "pin clothing to wall" entangle for the knife - drat, the knife will just poof right back as soon as he throws it, won't it? Well, no biggy, that entangle was just a bit of garnish and - And that's when I colllapsed in a fit of giggles wen I realised what a gun does, actually : I'd just created a super who could shoot the heck out of his own broomcloset, indirectly and at tremendous range... Um, back to the drawing board.
  9. Re: How would you build this power? You could summon five creatures : the prime booster missile with a Flight UOO and the four little missiles riding on till they separate over the target zone. Add continuing charges of differing size for the Flights if you want to model the operational ranges more closely.
  10. Re: Hero Machine Thread Here's my teleporting sniper.
  11. Re: Cybermen The only probem I have with the current series is that the stories are all earth-centric (those I've seen so far, at least). I'm hoping for some alien settings eventually.
  12. Re: Deliberatly Abusive Character concepts
  13. Re: Character Ideas >Shining Wizard A "wizard" with a Flash damage shield and mirror-skinned minions? A Vegas speedster with one of those full-body square-mirrors suit, reflection (of course) and lots of sleigth-of-hands tricks. >Burning Hammer I see a more dark champions feel for this one. Let's say he has the power to slowly exsude petroleum byproducts from his palms. This turns any weapon he wields into a flaming version of itself and has a tendency to splash all over the place (small fires everywhere). >Emerald Frozion Uh, what's a "frozion"? *Enamel, blithedly missing a perfect opportunity to be creative* >Orange Crush Construction employee turned into a golem made of construction machinery (all safety orange, of course). Basically a 10 feet mechanical hulk with lots of hydraulics and an endorsement from a certain cola company. Alternatively, a bio-terror villian with such things as sticky "blindness plagues" and "sick to my stomach" entangles. With an Always on "wilt plant life" change environment. Hope that gets your neurons firing.
