Hello! First of all, HERO is my favorite system and my gaming group is just now getting back into it with a round of Champions. Folks are intimidated, but myself an the GM are working to make things run smoothly.
Unfortunately, my wife got flashed in the first phase of combat and is now out for the entire turn, which, because we're getting back into the system, will last a while. She's frustrated with the complexity and now frustrated because her OCV is essentially zero and she'll be rather ineffective.
My character is a mentalist... would it be viable to use Mental Illusions to provide her character a layout of the battlefield so she doesn't feel useless? Maybe a compromise with minuses to her OCV and I'd have to keep it active as the battlefield changes?
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks!
