Re: Original Artwork: Grindstone I truly appreciate your kind words, Spidey88. I'll see if I can scan in some other drawings whenever I get a break.

Re: Original Artwork: Grindstone Thanks for the positive feedback, all. Here is another sketch I drew back in '92 for Champions. He is a weather manipulator named Monsoon who loves nothing more than to unleash a gust of gale-force wind right into a throng of pesky reporters. If you like him, please feel free to use him.

Re: Original Artwork: Grindstone Precisely!! ROFL!!!

Re: Original Artwork: Grindstone Thanks, guys. I'll see if I can scan in some more character sketches. I'll also try to dig up the character sheet for Grindstone. He is a classic high-powered brick with plenty of brick tricks and an "earth gliding" ability similar to the one from USPD. His favorite tactic is to erupt from the ground between Grond's legs, and then wrap that little cream-puff in a bear-hug until he starts yelling for his mommy!

Here is a sketch I made for a brick named Grindstone back in the early 90s. If you like it, please feel free to use it in your own games. If you would like to see some other sketches, please let me know, and I would be happy to post a few.

Re: Help with Psychic Sword Double Post!!

Re: Help with Psychic Sword Thanks to everyone for all of the great feedback! I generally agree that EB 6d6 No Range; AVLD (Mental Defense) most closely approximates what I am trying to create, and this was my first impulse but I too was appalled by the cost differential between AVLD and BOECV! The only difference between these two options is that, with BOECV, you make your attack roll based on ECV, whereas with AVLD, you make your attack roll based on standard CV. Why in the world would that warrant an extra cost of +1/2 for AVLD versus BOECV? The problem with using BOECV, on the other hand, is that it seemed rather cludgy to buy a power advantage named "Base on Ego Combat Value" only to turn around and apply a limitation to it named "Based on Combat Value". It just didn't feel right, and AVLD seemed too costly, so that is why I started looking at Ego Attack as another option. I think I'm going to go with the -0 option from the Ultimate Mentalist. Thank you, Bob Greenwade.

Re: Help with Psychic Sword I appreciate you taking the time out to help me, Derek.

Re: Help with Psychic Sword Thanks, Derek. That's an interesting approach. Is there anything on this topic in the Ultimate Mentalist (I haven't picked it up yet)? It seems like this limitation is pretty much the opposite of the BOECV power advantage, so I'm surprised that there's nothing more on it.

I am trying to create a psychic sword which is defined as an Ego Attack with the No Range limitation. I think that the attack should be based on the character's standard CV rather than his ECV. I'm looking for a power modifier that would allow this. If such a power modifier has been defined somewhere then, great, please tell me about it. If not, I could use some guidance on how to define it. It seems as though it should be a power limitation, but how much should it be worth? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
