[MM2e] Salton City Needs Heroes! - OOC [CLOSED]

[Shayuri]

What about just calling it a Trip, with Knockback, that's bought to Reaction, but with the limit: "Only when opponent fails to Overrun" or something.

Then buy some resistance to overrunning.

Relique, here is something I'm considering....

Michelle is a bit of a tinkerer. She’s going to have Computers, Craft (Electronics), Craft (Mechanical) and Knowledge (Technology) as part of her skill suite. I'd like for her to have constructed a mechanical cat which will be bought/constructed with the Device power:

[sblock=Nocturna]Tiny Robotic Cat (Faux Black Fur) [Device Ranks Required: 6]

(-05) Str 3 Dex 20 Int 3 Wis 12 Cha 7
(+09) Skills: Acrobatics 8 (+13), Climb 9 (+5), Notice 11 (+12), Stealth 8 (+10)
(+03) Feats: Equipment 1, Improved Initiative 2
(+18) Powers: Flight 1, Immunities[sup]2[/sup] 14, Super-Senses[sup]3[/sup] 2 
(+08) Combat: Attack +4[sup]4[/sup], Defense +4[sup]4[/sup], Initiative +13 (Ab Bonus + Imp Init)
(-03) Saving Throws Toughness -4, Ref +6, Will +1

Equipment(Integrated Tech)[sup]1[/sup]
Digital Camera 1, Computer (PDA) 1, Concealable Microphone 1, Video Camera 2

Immunities[sup]2[/sup]
Aging 1, High Pressure 1, Life Support 9, Radiation 1, Starvation 1, Thirst 1

Super Senses[sup]3[/sup]
Infravision, Low-light vision

[sup]4[/sup]Includes +2 due to size

Nocturna has the ability to fly by having integrated thrusters in her paws and has propulsion by a small engine that emits force by releasing it from where the cat's anus would be. [/sblock]Nocturna definetely adds to the feel of bad wrong fun for me...

Technically she should be built like a construct.. so..

(+05) Str 3 Dex 20 Int 3 Wis 12 Cha 7
(+09) Skills: Acrobatics 8 (+13), Climb 9 (+5), Notice 11 (+12), Stealth 8 (+10)
(+03) Feats: Equipment 1, Improved Initiative 2

(+08) Combat: Attack +4[sup]4[/sup], Defense +4[sup]4[/sup], Initiative +13 (Ab Bonus + Imp Init)
(+1) Saving Throws Toughness 0, Ref +6, Will +1 Fort Immune

Equipment(Integrated Tech)[sup]1[/sup]
Digital Camera 1, Computer (PDA) 1, Concealable Microphone 1, Video Camera 2

Immunities[sup]2[/sup]
Immunity Fortitude 30, All Enviromental Conditions 5

Super Senses[sup]3[/sup]
Infravision, Low-light vision

[sup]4[/sup]Includes +2 due to size

The point total is 74 which means she could be either a Rank 5 Minion or a Rank 15 Device. HOWEVER, due to sneaky and broken point accounting, she could count as a Rank1 Device containing Minion 5 but thats sort of cheesy so use the Rank 5 Minion.

Quick questions the Q&A is that a written reply or a video again?

A video recorded at the actual "auditions" using a multiple camera set up.

That works. Especially since you could up the distance they are sent flying using the "Time Progression Table."

Okay, I'll try it that way. I'll see if I can bash something together tonight, but it's more likely to be the weekend.

I'm confused. How is the build I came up with bad?

don't think the word bad was used anywhere, just devices are to be used like guns and cars, and minion/constructs can walk about and do their own stuff like robots and butlers and war machine

also the fact constructs needs imunities to fortitude stuff and the like

 

[Shayuri]

Yar...M&M has specific rules about nonliving animate 'creatures,' like robots and how they work. Your design was basically for a living cat, who had some robot-like abilities. That doesn't make it bad...it just wasn't doing what your concept called for.

The build wasn't bad, although there were several errors in it (Life Support includes High Pressure and Radiation). But beyond that both Ginnel and Shayuri hit the nail on the head with their replies.

Is there a limit to how many ranks you can buy in Powers? I would have guessed it equals to the PL, but I didn't find anything.
