Insight's Secret Wars OOC Thread

[MENTION=478]Thanee[/MENTION] - Yes, but it requires you to be charging, which gives a flat -2 atk modifier, meaning any slam attack is effectively a PL lower (Atk+Effect max of 18 rather than 20), and isn't very versatile. Also I'd have to buy an attack to utilize with it anyways, as Inertia isn't fast enough to get the max damage from speed(not a full speedster), and thus would be using the 'attack+1 for speed' version of slam.
I designed the slam as an alternative, I have to pay for it but it gives me what I want rather than a substitute that anybody can use. I figured since that's Inertia's primary means of combat, it should be useful and unique.


[MENTION=11437]Insight[/MENTION] - Well both Optic and Inertia are mutants, being second gen born.
Speaking of which, here's Optic's 2e sheet I had sitting around. Obviously won't be the exact same thing I'm doing in 3e, but should give an idea of how he works.

Any preferences between the two?

Nightengale's sonic powers are from absorbing magical energies while still in the womb. I went with Mutation as the power source, but could probably argue they're just as much Magic if it makes a difference.

Wasn't entirely sure how to classify his melee damage attack. It's meant to reflect the fact he's spent most of his life training to be a crime-fighter, and Mom made sure that, if his sonic powers were suppressed, he could still hit well and hit hard. Alteration seemed the best fit, then, as something he gained later in life.

I think I'm going with a robot. My plant controller idea is just...not really working out.

The robot is tech, of course...still working on the background.

Insight may have left out Training?

Insight may have left out Training?

Somehow, I missed the list of descriptors in the book. See my edited post above.

 

[jkason]

Alrighty, think I've got Galen's descriptors all fixed up. Bumped his age a couple of years to have given him some more time in the field. Should be all set, I think.

 

[Voda Vosa]

Wow man! I completely missed this! Are you open to submissions?

 

[hero4hire]

Ricochet updated with descriptor info.

Edit: most current character sheet is here.
