Everyone,
I'd like to finish this first round of combat in the next few days. Tonguez in particular, please read what I posted this morning in the IC thread and decide what you want to do on your action. The rest of you I can figure out.
After Tuesday, I'm going to be at Origins, and I won't be posting until possibly Monday or Tuesday of the following week. I really don't want the first round of combat to drag on that long. I'd like to have to combat completed by Origins, but I'm pretty sure that won't happen. Well, we'll see. Maybe if you guys are quick about your responses, we can.

I think Entrapper is set for actions but I'll keep a close eye out to try to react quickly in the next 24 hours.
PS I sorta agree about PowerSurge but I have to admit that I'm enjoying the uber-super-trooper roleplaying thing a bit. And super "teams" aren't usually balanced anyway.

[sblock=DM_Matt please read]Wow. To run the first round of combat, I had to go through Power Surge again to figure out his powers, and man, is he abusive. I guess I didn't have time to go through it the first time. Is there a power he doesn't have? And I have to think about some of the flaws you took. For example, Requires Concentration check DC 20 assumes there's a reasonable chance you can fail the check. You've got a +17!!! to Concentration! AND he has a feat that lets him re-roll a failed Concentration check! That means on average you have a 7.5% chance to fail a Concentration check. That's not exactly a reasonable chance to fail (which I'd place at 25% chance or higher to get the flaw). And you took full power on just about everything!
Also, you've got some things listed for Power Surge that I can't find in either the main M&M book or Ultimate Power, such as the Conscious extra or the Distracting flaw. As stated in the initial post of the OOC thread, you can only use things from M&M or Ultimate Power.
I'm going to look through Power Surge again when I have a chance, but I'm currently of the belief that he is vastly overpowered. Not overpowered in terms of his damage bonus or anything, but he can do everything. I prefer characters to have a defined scope of powers, not every power in the book with a bunch of meaningless flaws.
Think of the superheroes that appear in comics. They tend to have 3-5 defined powers which all sort of work together. Even characters with lots of powers, such as Iron Man, they are all based on being in the power suit, and even he doesn't have wierd stuff like Mind Control and Insubstantial.
I don't mean to be harsh, but I just have an uneasy feeling about this character's really wide range of abilities, and my guess is that there are probably several places where the character design is trying to take advantage of a loophole or otherwise skirting the spirit of the rules.[/sblock]
