[OOC] M&M 2nd: Gotham Squires

[Herobizkit]

Cool. Can I add pretty much ANY super-power (within logical reason) to the bike? Like super-speed (jet powered turbo boost, limited duration), some extra cop-style weapons maybe...

OH. MY. GOD.

I forgot about this gem...

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCItnKrXvMM]YouTube - ‪Street Hawk: Intro‬‎[/ame]

And I found this:
Mounted on the front of bike is a high energy particle beam emitting a bright red laser ray. (In the TV movie, the ray was blue). It had two settings. Maximum charge stopped a ten-ton truck. Reduced power setting stunned/immobilized a suspect.

It also shot rubber slugs and later .50 caliber machine gun rounds.

The motorcycle also has a hyper-thrust mode which increased the bikes speed and vertical lift for jumping over objects.

The motorcycle maximum speed is 300 mph.

When pursued the Street Hawk could perform a 360 degree aerial flip which placed the bike directly behind its pursuer.

WANT!

...

Yes you can

Now Plotting Strategy...

Also, I don't mind "needing" to use weapons, as that was the plan all along.

One feat in attack spec (plasma) and 1 more defense (or the roll with the blow feat) will make her PL 9. -- I will update this on my sheet in the RG.

Also, this could just be semantic, but as I read the character sheet,I get the impression that my Device is a Power Armor that can change into a bike. The not-so-original concept calls for a bike that's pretty much a normal bike until it merges with the special body armor, ie the super-powers are a result of the transformation and can't be accessed in Bike mode. This would allow (restrict?) my girl to wearing the generic body armor without all of her abilities until the transformation.

Having Plasma that "high"... is that good/too good? Unlike most supers, her Plasma attack wasn't "designed" to be used on a regular basis (kinda like Iron Man's Unibeam), though there's no "real" reason she couldn't... unless I say so, right? I'd like to have that power available in Bike mode... I will shamelessly steal the Street Hawk idea, and to add a Stun power (in both modes) would be cool as well.

Adding Friction Control would be very interesting; I could represent it in old-school spy fashion by dropping a liquid (super-sticky glue, for example, or oil slicks) out the back. I love this idea, actually.

Back to Robot Mode: I used the Deflect power to represent an actual "shield" on the mecha... basically a "force" buckler. Should I make this change by changing it up to Shield 5, AP Deflect 5 (all ranged attacks)?

I made things more complicated for myself by breaking up point pools, so I would still like your help. Character is updated in the RG.

I'm currently waiting for Dr Chaos & Crucible.

@herobizkit: Nice ideas. Please try to build yourself first and make clear whwere the extra points for device can come from. Also try to hit your PL caps, it could become frustrating in combat scenes for you otherwise. I will gladly help you to modify/streamline your ideas.

@jkason:
Bruno Mannheim is the leader of "INTERGANG," A vast criminal organization whose members infiltrate every level of METROPOLIS. Anyone from a key member of the mayor's staff to a copy boy in the DAILY PLANET bullpen might be a spy for INTERGANG. INTERGANG agents are secretive, fanatically loyal and known only to themselves. INTERGANG pulls sophisticated robberies using highly advanced weaponry. They also sell those weapons in GOTHAM.

@Walkingdad: Okay, SIGH, I'll do the math MYSELF.

 

[Walking Dad]

The math isn't the problem, but you have to shave some PP from the other categories to improve your device. And this should be your decision. I will not delete some skills of you, without asking.

 

[perrinmiller]

I think Octavia's powers are magical by nature, so Crucible should be able to detect something (like Sentinels can sense mutants, even if they don't use their powers at the moment.

I got no problem with this, makes sense if you consider the character I based it on was from a D&D like setting to begin with.

To clarify a what if scenario: While she is Invisible, would she be able to be seen and/or tracked because of it? Or would the person with super-senses just detect a source of magic energy is in the area?

 

[Walking Dad]

Similar to D&D: Sensing that there is something, but not pinpoint... I think. Your invisibility affects only visible senses. I think Crucible's sense is mental, but no targeting sense.

Makes sense?

 

[perrinmiller]

Perfect sense from my common senses, if I sense what Crucible is sensing corectly. Just my two cents.

And by this, you mean reduce PP to up my Device skill to give more points to manipulate the Device powers? :X

AM I the ONLY one that is finding this ridiculously hard?
