Zero Divide (OOC Discussion)

[Vanifae]

Well maybe less object creation and more just manipulating shadows? Like stealth and stuff like that, not sure.

Well maybe less object creation and more just manipulating shadows? Like stealth and stuff like that, not sure.

Whole concept was a builder/gadgeteer with a twist.

Have to think on what to swap around.

Still got it on a txt if you want me to cut/past it to you

 

[Vanifae]

It gives us something to work with.

 

[James Heard]

Or maybe you could go with using the shadows as manipulators. You could buy some extra limbs and elongation, along with wall crawling in a single container and you'd have a creepy shadow spider guy being carried around by his shadows and opening pop bottles for him from across the room.

[Vanifae]

Well I am not sure which way you want to go, Kain.

Anyone have suggestions?

 

[Shalimar]

There is a lot of stuff that you can do with Darkness control setting aside the gadgetry, this is what the Ultimate Power source book has to say on it.

DARKNESS CONTROL
Effect: Array (Obscure) Action: Standard (active)
Range: Ranged Duration: Sustained
Saving Throw: None Cost: 2 points per rank

You can blanket an area in darkness, creating total Visual
Concealment in a 5-foot radius at rank 1 (see the Concealment
effect description in Chapter 2). Each additional rank moves the
radius one step up the Progression Table.

COUNTERING
Darkness Control is the obvious power to counter light effects,
including things like lasers. Likewise, Light effects, including
Environmental Control (illumination), can counter Darkness
Control.

ALTERNATE POWERS
• Animate Shadows: You can bring shadows to life to do your
bidding, a Summon effect at your Darkness Control power
rank.
• Blind: A beam of darkness can temporarily blind a target, a
Visual Dazzle effect at your power rank.
• Dark Blast: You can project darkness as a physical force, a
Ranged Damage effect at your power rank.
• Energy Drain: Your darkness can absorb energy, giving you
a Drain effect at your Darkness Control power rank, usable
against any radiant energy source: heat, light, radiation, and
so forth.
• Life Drain: Your darkness can actually diminish the “light”
within living creatures, draining away their very life force as a
Drain Constitution effect at your power rank (two-thirds your
rank if it’s Ranged).
• Shadow Bind: Bands of solidified shadow entrap your target,
a Snare effect at your power rank.
• Shadow Objects: You form objects out of solidified shadow, a
Create Object effect at your power rank.
• Shadow Scry: You can see and hear into places touched by
shadows, “scrying” from one shadow to another like a Visual
and Auditory ESP effect at your power rank.
• Shadow Strike: Forming weapons out of darkness, you can
strike for damage equal to your power rank in melee combat.
• Shadow Walk: You can step into one shadow, emerging from
another some distance away like a use of the Transmit power
with shadows as the medium.

ASSOCIATED EFFECTS
• Shadow Shield: Shadows cloak you in a protective Force Field
of darkness.
• Super-Senses: Darkvision is a natural Super-Sense for a dark-
ness controller, as is low-light vision. Other Super-Senses may
include things like sonar or tremorsense for navigating in the
dark.

What the dilly-o?

[/sblock]
I need help finishing up my character.

1) Combat section needs a look over. I need to know of any corrections I need to make.
2) I don't know how to properly calaculate attack stuff. I only have two attacks:

• Melee: Unarmed
• Ranged: Blaster Pistol

 

[James Heard]

Something I found useful was this Open Office Spreadsheet for M&M2E. It's certainly not the end-all, be-all of character generation aids, but I was able to knock out a half dozen versions of my character pretty quickly to see how the various versions weighed against each other.

 

[KaintheSeeker]

Well I'm stumped on what to do. I was thinking a gagetter/inventor who used shadowforces for tools and such.
