[QUOTE="Victim, post: 4136518, member: 78"] No. If you had non-perception powers, you could increase the DCs at the expense of attack, of course. Or use Power Attack. However, I think you're being overly shy about using those powers. Just look at our characters. Nitro is 11/9/6. Star is 9/13/7. Nightweaver is 7/10/9. Etc. Wren's saves are the best at 10/9/14. Viridian is generally above or around the 50/50 level of success on her powers against us (naturally, enemies that are tougher than us probably have higher saves, but that applies to conventional attacks too). And she auto-hits. If someone seems high on Exotic saves or the enemy has taken lots of bruise/injuries, she can toss out a DC 23 damaging TK attack (or throw one enemy at another). While Thessaly lacks the ability to really hammer defenseless targets (stunned people, mostly), I'd say her odds of inflicting serious effects (stun or rough equivalent) aren't any worse against dodging targets than anyone else, generally. One thing you can do to increase the chance of someone failing a save is to Surge to attack again. It's generally going to provide a bigger chance that someone fails than +2 DC for the same cost, and if you use something that stacks (not emotion control), then someone can really get hammered. Since V has several ranks of Luck and attacking more often is a good way to get awarded more HP, since GM Fiat is used to help reduce the effects, she use that trick without making herself too vulnerable. But Viridian wasn't one of the people who got Inspired, probably because she doesn't make attack rolls (unless she's throwing someone/thing with TK or things have gone very wrong). [/QUOTE]
