Transcendence Now - M&M Game [Resumed!]

[Samnell]

In my mind its more 'sealed and anonymous' with the only people you truly know being your fellow transhumans, but I'm still weighing in the practicality and believability of it all. Perhaps the orderly/scientist type people wear full bodysuits to dehumanize them/anonymize their features, for protection's sake, however *scratches chin*

Well here's an excuse: the treatment, especially the early phases, has an immunosuppressant effect. The biosuits are there to protect us from any opprotunistic infections the staff might be carrying. This would go a long way towards explaining the isolation in general too. You could even say that the treatment's suppressant effects fade quickly to justify letting us out soon after it's done.

Possibly also to keep the lab boys safe from the chemicals, or accidental 'reactions' from the subjects. IE like Sin for example, since they were trying to bring out her ability to manipulate sonic energies, the suits they wore were designed to withstand extreme sonic levels. Safety for everyone involved.

That definately works, thanks muchly

If you can tell, atmosphere means a bit more to me than the technical difficulties that sometimes accompany them. Still, I'd like everything to be somewhat plausible, otherwise we'd lose all suspension of disbelief. That said, I think we'll run into similar problems in the future but I hope this is cool with everyone and that we can work out the kinks together

 

[Shalimar]

Tony Carter will show up, although it might be tough to solve depending on how direct your character acts

Is a boot to the face too direct? She'd mostly be going for kicking his ass with the assumption that he wont be protected 100% of the time, and even if he is, she can use her throwing discs against a few thugs. If another character might have wanted to help her so much the better, but even without help she could still goonsweep with her thowing discs since she has autofire. I actually ran a few sample combats for her with enemies from the book just to get used to how she fought, and she does pretty well for herself, very much in the bat-family genre that I was going for.

Just as a note, Makenzie will be confined to a wheelchair and be very beat up for the first couple of weeks of the program until she gets her power to heal, so anyone in her group would defintely be likely to know what happened to her and who was behind it, and with a fairly easy assumption what she might do.

I will post details about how this all works soon. Sufice it to say, fo now, that his powers get people lost, or help peoplebecome found.

 

[RobotRobotI]

Out of curiosity, how are you getting a +11 wisdom modifier? (22 has a modifier of +6.)

 

[Sollir Furryfoot]

Very interesting!

One potential thing to watch out for is Mind Reading, because I believe Samnell was planning on working that with his build. If its not vital for your concept, I'd suggest taking it out, at least for now because your character already seems to have very varied powers. Also, it appears he needs the Equipment feat for his items?

He's definately going to fill the niche I was hoping would be filled (and then some), I am pleased

 

[Agamon]

This game looks like it also may have some similarities to the new Heroes show on NBC next fall.

 

[ByteRynn]

There are lots of problems with my build. I am going to pick it apart tomorrow. As I was typing it, my dog got hit by a truck while being walked by my father-in-law, and I hit post before I was ready to double-check eveything. The dog is going to be okay, bbut I gotta watch him tonight. I am home though, and have access to my books. Look for something complete tomorrow.
