Mutants and Masterminds (Editors Thread & OOC)

Evil Jimmy was too an illusion. It's just that the Mistress, whoever she was, had the Damaging extra on her Illusion power. Or at least I'm assuming that's how Toki built her; the Illusion of the angel thing kicked Ryan's butt, making him make a Will save, for a while before Isabella torched the aerodyne.

Evil Jimmy was physical though, wasn't he? Didn't he get his butt handed to him by the real Jimmy or some one else?

It might have been Mr. McNamara, but I'm not positive. I knew Mark took a couple of shots at him, back when we were naive enough to think Jimmy might be our major problem.

I've been reviewing the battle at the Wildlife preserve. There's some evidence that the evil Jimmy was an illusion.

The first Jimmy Li growls, "Come back here you runt!" and tries to punch James again. But this time his punch fails to connect, as he continues to try and rearrange James' face.

This Jimmy rolled a total strike of 14, and missed James, by a wide margin... James made a Will save, but failed with a total of 9...

Interaction with the illusion might be prompting James's Will save. If James is failing the saves, he'd treat the illusion as if it were real.

Mark dashes towards the James, and whips by him, and punches the Bad Jimmy, and hits him with a Mach-One Punch, only to see the Jimmy in front of him fade away as if he wasn't there...

Mark hit with a 20, and the Jimmy faded from sight...

Illusion or Duplication might be reasonable for the target fading away on a hit. Duplication that can be used against other people is a rather convoluted and probably broken power contruct.

Also note that the round after evil Jimmy faded away, the illusion of the angel appeared. If the Mistress can only do one illusion at a time, then it's possibly that she switched from the Jimmy illusion to the angel as the Jimmy was losing credibility (hit by Mark, who possibly made his save).

Damn, Anika wasn't present yet or this would have an easy answer. I think you're right though Victim, he most likely was an illusion.

 

[Sollir Furryfoot]

Ah k, sorry about that, I guess my memory's a bit too hazy-thanks for clearing things up, Victim.

Boy I am totally confussed as to who is going where ONLY because I think John and James got mixed up a couple of times... remember John Mind Reader, James Teleporter

SO in the end James did not have anywhere to go so he is following Ryan and Billy around...

 

[Hammerhead]

Well, it's your fault for picking names that are so similar. ;-)

What's funny about Charlotte's imagined rivalry with Cassandra is that in a fight, she's annihilate the poor girl, since Cassie couldn't overcome Charlotte's Protection without a Critical Hit. What are Charlotte's Immunities when in Alternate Form?

BTW, I think referring to illusion Jimmy as evil Jimmy is a tad confusing in of itself. Aren't they both evil?

Jimmy's not evil. He's not even a bad guy. Wait, he's not even a badguy, yeah, that's what I meant to say. By which, I mean he's not immoral.

He's definitely got a negative score in couth and tact, and he's very self-centered. We now know where he gets that 'tude from; his family life must have been interesting (and he being Chinese, interesting doesn't mean fun ). But I think you're right about his 'honor'. Anika's insults rolled right off his back, well, sort of. Well, it could be honor, it just could be a bully mentality, where he's not used to being stood up to. Obviously, though, he wants nothing to do with his family, so that's a plus.

As much as it seems easy to just label him a jerk, I think Jimmy's probably the deepest NPC in the game.

On the other hand, he might just be a jerk.
