[QUOTE="Vertexx69, post: 5059834, member: 48854"] After reading the sample combat, I am so dead anyways with the most basic creatures being able to dole out 20 dmg each round. How come I couldn't apply my poison to my weapon? Its a sap, so smearing my weapon across my body should be able to coat the scythe easily (Applying poison to a weapon is one the most basic of rpg strategies there is). And if my vines (hands) are electrified why wouldn't the electricity be able to travel down a metal weapon (while both attacking and taking attacks with metal melee weapons)? If you were to tap a sword to a powerline, even if only holding a leather grip you would still get shocked as the weapon is like a lightning rod pointed at your chest. My dad worked electrical and saw a guy wearing rubber gloves touch a metal pole to a power line accidentally. It blew a hole through his stomach the size of a grapefruit even though the pole was touching the ground. I'm trying to figure out a way to either effectively use a touch attack or use my powers through a weapon, so my powers can actually be effective in combat. Walking down a crowded sidewalk (New York for example) you bump shoulders with almost everyone you pass (whos space you pass through). Your not making attacks but if you were shuffling your feet you would still shock them with static electricity. Since the system leaves so many questions unanswered, I'm drawing on real world experiences and examples to try and fill in the blank spots in a logical way. If its getting annoying just tell me and I'll stop ;) The description of mutant plant says to refer to the mutant animal, so could I have a natural attack (vine)? This would solve all the problems as I would then have a base dmg for vine attacks above the 1 of unarmed. My concept is swopping dive attacks considering Deathvine's low hp and AC, but it defeats the purpose if the double dmg is 2, ya know? I was thinking for its mask, either going with the concept for a skull, or one of those old, porcelin china doll masks that was chipped and faded. I don't know which would be creepier :p I wanted to wrap a wire around the handle portion of the weapon and around a vine so whenever my Phobia kicks in and I drop my weapon from my "hands", it doesn't go twirling down through the air to shatter on the rocks. It will still take an action to retrieve it once my mind returns but it won't be gone gone (think improvised locking gauntlet from D&D or Ninja Scroll). [/QUOTE]
