Generics: Create-An-Attack-Power
- Thread starter Minigiant
- Start date
One interesting thing to think about when making a system like this is to decide whether you want to (a) try to create a system that accurately matches the existing powers or (b) try to create a system that creates powers as balanced as possible. For example in the existing system a -SAM to AC is worth the same as a -2 to AC, and based on what I've seen of the powers, that accurately reflects how powers are designed. But SAMs can be significantly higher than 2 - especially in the higher tiers. And multiple attacks also tend to be undervalued by this system, because at high levels you get lots of static modifiers to damage so even a relatively weak secondary can become another opportunity to apply these powers. But of course even in the existing powers, multiple attack powers are often agreed to be superior to single attack powers. So how should the systm reflect this?

Been here a while...
There's some really clever stuff here. I'm gonna have to keep this as a yardstick for any homebrew stuff I work up.
As far as stacking modifiers, could you give some kind of credit based on the tier? For example, at paragon tier, maybe you can choose one modifier and get two points of it for free? 4 points at epic. Just a thought.

Well my intent was to make standard powers that are balance to the tier, not to the existing powers.
One new idea was to makes 3 groups of power modifiers.
Group 1 stacks normally because the modifiers stay about the same strength at all levels. Llike ongoing damage 5.
Group 2 stacks normally up to a point, Then the modifier's values drops. This dice and range increases, and bonus artacks.
Group 3 is the opposite of Group 2. The modifier's values imcrease. This is for the ones like, +1W and bonus to attacks.
