EPIC M&M (OOC Thread #2)

[Agamon]

Fair enough.

 

[Calinon]

OOC: Half - Stand. Free: Extra Effort - Add an Extra (Remove Permanent Flaw), hold onto this extra effort; if I've read this correctly, this should allow me to touch her without healing her. Half - Grapple Attempt; I think I'm close enough to grab Mia.

Sorry, just no. I'm not really keen on letting people bypass flaws through extra effort. Remember, you can use extra effort to gain an extra on a power... like range for example.

She's armored foot to neck anyway. Touching her armor isn't going to heal her. And yes, you are definitely close enough to grab at her.

Okay -- I wasn't too sure how much armor we were talking about, hence my concern. My image of Mia was more... brazen and unclothed, due to her agility and obvious mental instability.

At some point, I've considered spending power points on buying off the Permanent flaw, but I also wasn't sure how to do this in-story, and had toyed with the idea of periods of extra effort to plot this progress.

 

[Calinon]

Mia is psychotic, but not stupid. She's got kick ass gear... or at least had kick ass gear until Xi melted her armor. She normally wears a helmet with full face covering too, but, well, she liked Kevin.

Just let Prophet get a hold of you and ask him to do it... lets just say its coded into your genetic code. You likely can't change the flaw. Someone wanting to use you to heal themselves has to know about it and then attack you and hit exposed flesh. The first part is going to be pretty commonly known after a while; the second, well, don't run around with exposed skin, get a mask, etc. Mind you, doing that means you need to spend a half action exposing skin so you can heal...

Lots of ways to minimize it though. Buy BDB. Improve your dexterity. Buy armor. All, of course, could be circumvented. Oh yeah, and you could just turn yourself over to Prophet and get him to change your genetic code...

You'll get your gadgets once you get back to home base. I describe it as a harness, something with a belt and shoulder straps and wrist guards that can hold everything an aspiring gadgeteer could possibly need and something easily worn over your armor. If you have another idea on it, let me know.

 

[Calinon]

OOC: I'll use an HP to re-roll the disabled check.

Kipping up again, X12 plants and sweeps at Mia's legs.

Half: Stand, Half: Trip

Dude! She's 50 feet away! She got clobbered by the powerhouse of the group. Jump up all you want, but tripping will be tricky

 

[Mordane76]

Dude, I can't keep up with where we all are anymore...

Anyway... I am The One... I can jump that far...

Edited my post in the IC thread.

 

[Dalamar]

That seems like an as good a description as any I could come up with

 

[buzzard]

I think somebody is having a bit too much fun running my sidekick.

[Calinon]

When the hero's away, the sidekick will play

As an aside, I never meant the FX on Neutron's Transmutation power to be a beam. He'll raise a hand at what he changes to focus or for effect, but there's no beam shooting from him. It's more of a mental manipulation of matter. The rules do state that you only need to see or touch something to transmutate it. That cool?

Oh, that's fine. As long as it's a somewhat obvious effect. Glowy energy field around whatever, yadda yadda. It won't be like SJ's dad's or Loco's obvious flaws that scream "HI LOOK AT ME USING MY POWERS MUAHAHAH!" but it should be something. Of course, anyone can get the subtle extra to make it invisible.

Plus energy beams melting heads are cool.
