I have a character idea. He's a Brick, he has the Reputation of being a "dumb brick", and acts really dumb "in costume". He is really a smart guy though.
The power in question is, I want to deceive Mentalists. If someone trys to mind control him or use a mental power, I want them to "think" they succeed even if they don't. So how would you buy the deception, oviously I would need some mental defense, and maybe reduction. But it's the deception part I need to figure out. Acting Skill would probably be in use, but I would think I would need more than that. (However using "Acting" in Combat, is an interesting concept, that we've used before, [i.e. pretending to still be stunned])
If someone has Mental Defense, the Mentalist usually feels resistance, if the target isn't controlled, the Mentalist usually knows he failed. (This is what I want to avoid).
Example:
Mentalist: "Kill your Friends" Makes Mind Control Roll
Brick: Makes Roll, Looks at friend, Menancingly, on his turn, attacks Mentalist.
