[QUOTE="Victim, post: 4305201, member: 78"] I don't really see an emotion or mind controller who uses his/her power like a sledgehammer on other PCs or major recurring NPCs as beign very fun. You could basically be playing the other characters. Or you could be playing no one, since another PC made the save and tore your character apart - PCs tend to get dangerously upset about that kind of thing. Either way doesn't seem that great. But that doesn't mean the concept is without potential. Think about the unethical "ethical mentalist." "You don't like my power? Really? So there's nothing about yourself that you'd like to change? I dunno about you, but there were times when I really needed to study for school, but just couldn't concentrate. It's not like I wanted to be distracted that readily - so much for free will. That lack of focus can be eased away for a bit. Or I can make that boring assignment seem fascinating - just for an hour or so. It's not your choice to get nervous under pressure and choke on that test, before the Big Game, or when asking someone out, right? Why not get some help?" Or how about easy cures for teenage heartache. Get rid of that phobia, or wipe away that embarassing memory. Keep that love going strong. Happiness on demand. Woo-woo! All aboard for the slipperly slope! :) Why force your power on people, when they could be practically begging for it? [/QUOTE]
