Superheroes of the Trust OOC Thread II

I know that, she is attempting to see what will come to pass, given the current situation.

Yeah, I understand the idea of precognition. But you took the uncontrolled flaw - precog visions are things that happen TO you. They aren't things that you DO. It's not something under your control to use whenever you want, hence the UN-controlled (and not united nations ).

U.N.-Controlled Precognition would be highly ineffective. Russia and China would veto anything useful against supervillains .

Well, yeah. But wouldn't the general assembly - not dominated by western democracies - be setting the agenda for the precog? So the US would probably be throwing around most of the vetos.

With luck it'd be useful for detecting alien invasions or some asteriod hit though. Then there'd be time to form a secret UN taskforce involving the alien technology and/or some sort of super weapon.

Well, most issues that the Security Council deals with originate there...its not like Congress passing bills and sending them to the President to veto or sign.

Lol. Basically, she's opening herself up to the visions come what may. Where the uncontrolled part comes in, is she can't control what will happen, what sort of visions if any she'll have. Also, she can have visions at the drop of a hat, so the only thing she can really 'control' is deliberatly seeking one. Whether one will come or not.... Well. That's the fun part of the Uncontrolled flaw.

But the point remains that you can't declare that you use the power to figure out if a certain strategy is a good one.

Ahh. Okay. I'll amend it then.

Vanifae told me in another thread that he's actually dropping - as opposed to just being absent for a while.

Wasn't Star supposed to be surging for a second attack since Statos was still up?

Well, there goes Star's replacement. I guess after this fight he'll disappear to the Nightweaver Trust team

Or die. Some DMs I've played with have used exPCs as villains too - but that seems a lot like a time saving move that isn't really necessary in this format. Plus it would mess up the secret organization thing without some sort of programmed memory wipe.
