EPIC M&M (OOC Thread)

[Mimic]

Well, it could have bother me, but it seems that Kevin is not even able to mimic powers and stay withthem for long anyway. I start to doubt if my extra subjects really worth the cost...

It will be when you can mimic several of us all at once, just imagine Vince's speed and Raisa's strength and protection, you could be a human battering ram.

Mimic is definately a long term power, weak to start out with but very powerful once you get the points into it.

Just keep pointing points into expanded power until you can mimic at least all the players. As well as ranged, then you don't have to touch them.

Non-penalized ranged attacks are generally 10 x power rank in feet (if memory serves me; someone correct me if I'm wrong). Basically, this is to put the illusion where you want it in this case. Your area you can affect is your power rank in 5 x 5 x 5 cubes, over a maximum radius of (power rank x 5 feet). So 7 cubes in size over a 35 foot radius. Pretty freakin' huge man.

I beg to differ of course. Your power is amazingly strong. You can actually become far more powerful than a PL8 character by mimicing two mutants. Consider this. You currently have Split's powers. Now if you were to absorb Vincent's super speed power you would have some serious capacity going on. Mind you, it's still up to folks to let you do that, but you really can get some benefit. Also, don't forget you are able to mimic feats.

I gave a little more thought to the power duration because issues could certainly last longer than 24 hours.

You can keep powers for longer than 24 hours, providing you make a DC20 power check (D20+mimic rank) each week. Just like all rolls, you can use a hero point if you fail. Since you know the DC, that would be on any roll less than a 12. However, at the start of each new issue (unless circumstances dictate that at least a few days hasn't gone by) you will lose mimic'd powers however.

Also, reading the rules, providing you can afford the per point cost (not more than 5) you can still mimic powers that have greater ranks than yours. Though you suffer backlash, you get them at your mimic rank. That makes it a little better for you, especially with that continuous extra. If you didn't have that, if you got stunned by backlash, you wouldn't get the power.

I learn as I go

Seems ok with me. And I finally mimic someone... and I never thought of that, but it is a great way to learn someone powers. How many split there is in this combat that we can't see...

I'm going paranoid.

 

[Calinon]

You actually can only see the three Split's here. There doesn't appear to be any others. You know it's the real split and two duplicates, and one duplicate is destroyed.

Your character doesn't know, but you do, that there are 2-3 duplicates running around in the Theatre.

You say yourself evil, but at the first sign of paranioa of one of your player, you try to calm it... that's not evil. Except if you want to lower my guard. Ah ah! It is that. You want me to lower my guard against your evil plot... it won't be like that.

 

[Calinon]

I'm only out to make Speed Demon paranoid in this fight. Everyone else's paranoia will come later!

Maps are updated. Mordane, make your pick of where to attack if you still want to attack the invisible split. Give me directions from your spot (such as four right and two down). If you pick the right square, you have a 50% chance of missing, which, being a nice guy, I roll before I determine attack roll.

Let me know if you want to re-roll the 50% chance if you miss since your HP was technically used last round.

 

[Mordane76]

I'm gonna continue to engage the Split I can see (or I think I can see him -- the one that's foaming at the mouth who I just hit). He and I can box for a while... I don't actually have to decide where he is, right? That's Straightjacket, from what I can tell on the maps, correct?

On a totally unrelated note, I just watched the CSI plushy/furry episode and oh my god. I think I am scarred forever.

I saw that sitting on my PVR. Needless to say...DELETED!!!

BTW, invisible duplicator? Where are my royalties?!
