Mutants and Masterminds (Editors Thread & OOC)

Kensei, has energy manipulation, in particulr light, he can generate forcefields, energy fields, create an energy blade, shoot energy blasts, fly, and even blind his enemies with an intense flash to the eyes But his specialty is the energy blade hence the name Kensei

Jun Min has taken a radical departure from her typical 'feel-good' teaching style. Now it's more like 'Beat the living daylights out of each' style. First, she asks students to beat each other up. Now she's going to attack the students herself. How wonderful. Maybe she's an impostor.

Jun Min is a 'mentalist' who has Mental Blast (Area, Selective, Flight, Obvious, Psychic Assault) and Force Field (Mental), if my memory's correct. Hudabo is super smart and wise, and that one mechanic/gym guy is a brick.

Question for you Toki, Is there a limit on the numbers of the extras that you can use at once? Ie. Using Hail would if I wanted, include the effects of Fatigue, Obscure, and Entagle all at once correct? Its the same principal as, buying Ranged Weapon with the Dazzle, Autofire, Area, and Ghosttouch, right?

 

[Tokiwong]

It does work that way in theory yes, you can use them all at once as long as they are extras

 

[Hammerhead]

I wouldn't think so. They would all need to be the same type of effect, correct. Obscure is an Illusion power, whereas the rest are Attack powers.

 

[Tokiwong]

well yes they would have to be the same type, tied to the same power of course as Hammerhead says

 

[Sollir Furryfoot]

Er, if I'm right, there's a difference between power extras and enhancement extras. See, in the above example, Dazzle is a power extra, while ghost touch, area and multifire are enhancement extras. To use the power extra, you use the action it requires, and you can gain the benefit of the enhancement powers, but you can't use the base power at the same time. If you use the base power, you get the benefit of the enhancement extras, but you don't get to power extra. To get the power extra, you have to add the contingent enhancement extra (whenever the base power is used) on it. I'm not totally sure if that's it, but I think by the wording of Weapon, the energy blast extra, etc... is like that.

Edit-Charlotte is going to get 0wned by Jun Min.

Kelly would get owned By Jun Min, thats why she is trying to avoid her, she is somewhat afraid of her.

I think everyone of us will get owned by Jun-Min, Kelly just slightly more than the others, of course the same probably goes for the ones fighting Kensei.

 

[Victim]

I recommend a plan other than splitting up into 2 v 1s. Of course, since Kelly has already abandoned her own plan, the point may be moot. No plan survives first contact with yourself?

An adaptation of the fantasy tradition "Kill the wizard first," I'd like to present the variation: Get the Mentalist.

Jun Min uses a Mental, Area attack. No one is particularly strong against mental attacks, and with area, she can hit the whole team. It wouldn't be unreasonable for 3/4 of the team to suffer KO even with hero points. On the other hand, Kensai, at worst, will take out people one at a time. But he has to work mostly against normal defenses.

Also, Jun Min has already spent her VP for the round. Any PL 10 attack (Charlotte using extra effort) has a 50% chance of causing KO or stun. Since Miss Kim hasn't really taken off yet, everyone could pound her.

Cassandra might be a good match up against Kensai. She only needs to buy time for everyone to mop up Jun Min. With a fairly high defense and reflexive save, she probably won't be completely taken apart by his dazzling EB. Also, she has regeneration so she might get up if after getting struck. She has a ranged attack (throwing mastery) so she doesn't have to KO herself on an EF. Finally, she can't hurt Jun Min (or Kensai) anyway, so she might as well be a diversion.
