EPIC M&M (OOC Thread)

[Calinon]

Well, providing I can wrap this last bit up with Raisa by morning, tomorrow evening should see the end of this issue.

 

[Mimic]

I hadn't the book under hand when I wrote it up, but yeah, it is that flaw.

The tricky things, it is when you mimic someone, you not only taking his good powers, but his bad too, so the problem I may see, is that after I mimic one person, I lose my mimic power (as the subject will surely not have it) and by that, I won't be able to mimic more than one person at the time anymore... and if there is a way to mimic more than one person, what happen, does I have the best of both or the worst of both... that the most tricky thing.

You would still have your mimic powers and you would be able to mimic more than one person at a time. all tainted mimicry means is you would take any flaws/weakeness along with any powers that your subject has, take Dazzler, if her insanity is linked to her powers and if you mimiced her you would get her powers and her insanity as well as any other flaws from any other people you mimic (this could lead to some serious problems.)

Tainted mimicry can be really hinderous, but it's a great roleplay oppertunity

Tainted mimicry can be really hinderous, but it's a great roleplay oppertunity

That's exactly why I am interested to take it, the power of Kevin would become even more a bane to him, and it would be interesting to see Kevin how he could handle that, and how he will handle otehrs weakness... It may be really bad for his health, but I am so used to lose characters that I roleplay them the most possible before the roll-play take them out for ever

 

[Calinon]

I thought tainted mimicry gave you the strengths and weaknesses of the person you mimic, meaning if you have 20 strength and he has 8, you now have 8. But if he has 20 and you have 8, you now have 20. It also gives you his flaws and actual weaknesses, so if you mimic Titan, you are dangerously susceptible to silver.

If I allow you to take this weakness, I can assure you I won't let you have extra subjects. It's a pita already keeping track of what you have for powers; I don't want to have to do a spreadsheet to figure out what strengths and weaknesses you absorb. Those two points will go into additional attributes, to match what is in your background with the absorbing of people's knowledges, and make the flaw a decent flaw for the reasons I showed above. The trauma you just had reactivated those powers. The last point should go into expanded powers, letting you mimic powers up to 6PP in cost without backlash.

If you don't want to do that though, no changes need to be made to your character. I really don't like adding a flaw after the fact, but the above works for me. Hope I did the math right.

 

[Tokiwong]

as a quick question what version of the ruls eratta are you using Calinon? I have been somewhat out of touch so just wondering...

 

[Agamon]

There's more then one version now?

*goes and checks*

Well, there is a new errata. I had given up hope on such a thing. A quick glance at repsonses to it tells me there might be some questionable changes, but then people just like to complain, too.

 

[Calinon]

Honestly, I try to use the current one, since they freakin' took the old one down. But some of the stuff in there is a load of crap! So, I use the stuff I like, discard the stuff I don't and do a little jig when I confuse the heck out of the guys and gals playin!

I really wish they'd make up their minds about force fields, among other things.

 

[Tokiwong]

Yeah I heard about the Force Field issue from Shalimar not cool... well i am sticking to the old ones cause I have those printed out

 

[Velmont]

You're right, if I wanted that weakness, I should have taken it at the start, and it would be a real pain to keep all the tracks.

So, my 8 points, I take it in the Extra: Extra Attributs:Skills, so now I can dupicate skills too.

 

[Calinon]

Ok... I'll be doing the epilogue tonight and working on the prologue. If everyone could let me know how they'd like to spend their points, it'd be grand. You'll all be able to take full advantage of training at the school, which I'm sure will somehow be unpleasant and likely put you in the hospital. If you aren't already there.

Loki, do you recall what you spent your first 3 points on? I don't have it written down and can't find it in the OOC thread, but it's definitely been spent. I believe it was base defense (2) and 1 point into skills, but memory fading.

Mimic, you are losing your immunities under force field (as is anyone with force field). You can buy them in stages, or all at once, or just ignore them. (psst, buy immunity to critical hits).

Velmont, you'll have your new weakness and your skill mimic ability. And may god have mercy on your soul.

Anyway, asap. You have till Friday to pick, then they'll just be banked. I really suggest attack and defense for those of you with less than 4, except Loki... flaw man... get rid of your flaw on illusion!
