Monitor Duty (Freedomverse OOC)

Also, the Feature doesn't turn off if you don't spend a free action to maintain it.
Upgrading Morph to Continuous adds +1/rank to the cost.

Hmm. A good point. Just one more point. Might be interesting if the spell DID wear off though, if she got knocked out. More dangerous, but maybe more interesting?

I'll think on that.

I see a great amount of effort here! The powers are interesting and full of "Kung fu flavor".
However I can see without even running numbers yet that there would be some balance issues in gameplay. Mostly NOT in favour of your character.
With permission I can tweak the build and make him more cost efficient and bring him in like with his peers in the martial arts realm.

Absolutely, you can tweak my updated build! I'm new to M&M and really don't know what I'm doing

EDIT: As a martial arts student and kung-fu movie fan, I tried to base all the powers on something...

Eyes of the Jade Tiger is based on the sixth sense / seeing without seeing.

Grasshopper Step / Wire-Fu is based on wuxia in the movies.

Iron Shirt Chi Gung is based on the real-world practice by the same name, often demonstrated by Shaolin monks.

Boot to the Head is based on the Frantics' "Boot to the Head" comedy skit.

Breaking Blow is based on Bruce Lee's one-inch punch which drew upon internal Fa Jin energy.

Dim Mak is based on many legends of the Touch of Death, especially old White Lotus movies where it's called Five Point Palm Exploding Heart Technique.

Nine Palms Diagram is based on the Eight Diagram Palm of Baguazhang, a martial arts style based on constantly changing palm poses and whirling techniques.

Forced Astral Projection is based on that scene in Dr. Strange where the Ancient One strikes him out of his body.

Grandfather of Flowers Staff is a homage to anime and bad kung-fu movies with cursed objects and frenzied martial artists. Also a homage to the old AD&D monk class title "Grandmaster of Flowers."

I can't find a great pic of what I imagine the Widower too look like but probably a combination of these two

My Toughness is capped, so I can't buy Protection or Defensive Roll. Persuasion and Stealth are there for his day job.

Actually you aren't up to caps. It is why I suggested raising toughness 1 point. 7 defenses plus 12 toughness is 1 shy of the 20. But if you are happy being at the slight disadvantage I am okay with it.

You're right. I was confusing it with my damage.

Widower than what?

You mean she's just a widow girl?

(^_^)

 

[GreenKarl]

no, no, simply

Okay, last minute tweaks!

First, going with Hex. Then her book is offically named 'Grim' now, which the Grimoire takes with a certain ill-humor.

I removed the Artificer advantage from Hex (Grim still has it) and used the point to add Continuous duration to her costume morph. There's already several ways to defeat it (by touch, via a Nullify, etc) so I wanted to make it a bit more durable.
