Re: So, You Want To Save The World, Do You? (M&M3e, OOC, recruiting)

I have a concept or two I could float here...
Where everything is possible.
http://www.echoesofthemultiverse.com/
I couldn't tell if this had been answered, but: if the Secondary Effect is only 8 ranks, then it only counts 8 ranks for the Secondary Effect effect--so a Rank 12 Affliction would become Rank 8 for the Secondary Effect. The Dodge save for half-effect would probably reduce it by the normal 6, not half of the Secondary Effect rank.
So he's DBZA Vegita then?I Am The Hype - Andy firmly believes that he is the greatest warrior in the universe, and he continues to believe so in the face of all evidence to the contrary. He will confidently trash-talk people moments away from handing him his ass, and being defeated will dampen his self-confidence for, at best, a short period of time before he convinces himself he was tricked or cheated somehow.
Plenty of people can think they're the world's greatest ______! They just have to be a different _____, that's all. I suppose I could also try to resubmit Peacekeeper, since she's also from an alternate universe, but she's about as far from "world's greatest hero" as she can get.EpicEclipse wrote: ↑Thu Oct 12, 2017 1:03 amSo he's DBZA Vegita then?I Am The Hype - Andy firmly believes that he is the greatest warrior in the universe, and he continues to believe so in the face of all evidence to the contrary.

Unfortunate for me as I was planning a character with a similar personality trope lol.
Yeah, I didn't think anyone would submit one, since the group is going to be composed of heroes. Do remember the overall fun tone. I'm not saying you have to make Doofenshmirtz, but don't expect to bring Killgore Bloodbath either.Shadowbourne wrote: ↑Thu Oct 12, 2017 1:13 am You mentioned...Villains? That could be an interesting twist...
I'm not sure I'm cool with Defensive Shield's build. Half Effect Immunity plus Impervious seems a little like having your cake and eating it too. Maybe make the Impervious one sided also? Like Impervious limited to either physical or energy.RainOnTheSun wrote: ↑Thu Oct 12, 2017 12:41 am

If I understand it right, you can't buy more ranks in Impervious than you actually have in Toughness, so if I put a limit on it, I'd have some points left to spend on something else. Maybe Subtle. I could just take the half effect limit off of the energy immunity, too, but I don't want him to be completely immune... any other ideas for it?Miracle wrote: ↑Thu Oct 12, 2017 5:27 am

Other than that, it's pretty well build and definitely fits the game's tone. I have prompts bubbling up in my brain now
Correct me if I'm wrong, but are you doing the 'i'm gonna stay in the ship and send down the drones to do my work' thing? I'm not saying a super powerful gadgeteer wouldn't be able to do that. Though it limits options.EpicEclipse wrote: ↑Thu Oct 12, 2017 2:10 am Okay, for anyone who thought they saw a post from me earlier, you Did, but I took it down to put a bit more thought into the concept, reviewing the powers needed and such.
So what I am proposing is a technopathic engineer, a little bit Tony Stark, a little bit Metroman(from Megamind) in personality, so the super smart superstar personality. As mentioned, he is a technopath and has a natural, inherent understanding of any technology he encounters (he doesn't control it with his powers like Royal Pain from Sky High who also claims to be a technopath, but that would be closer to technokinesis)
His primary means of combat is a mech, rather than simple Ironman style power armor. But mechs are huge, what about those small spaces? Glad you asked. He utilizes a highly sophisticated portal transport system linked to his ship where his mecha can fire weapons or even punch things through, giving his access to his tech's weapon systems even in smaller battlefields where his full mecha can't cut loose.
I also mentioned a ship, yes. He comes equipped with a headquarters sized space-worthy ship which can function as team transportation.
And lastly, he does carry a few personal devices for protection, a personal mecha-grade force field built into his mecha neural link frame (which allows him to control his mech externally via his own movements and a virtual holo-cockpit control array)
The big question I really have with him, is how the Cosmic Coil would be about transporting his ship, AND if it would be alright that perhaps he developed some of their portal tech, using a similar system himself, but for not quite so long range.
Alright, I misremembered Impervious. I could have sworn it was "Impervious negated damage equal to rank", but apparently it limited to half. So Impervious 11 would make you immune to 5 damage. Which at this level is kind of chump change. And yeah, you can only take Impervious up to your Toughness score. You could take up to 12 Impervious Toughness (as your Toughness is 12) and be immune to 6 damage and lower.RainOnTheSun wrote: ↑Thu Oct 12, 2017 6:08 amIf I understand it right, you can't buy more ranks in Impervious than you actually have in Toughness, so if I put a limit on it, I'd have some points left to spend on something else.

For what it's worth, I imagine that a lot of the time when people like Andy fight each other, one of them eventually gets goaded or tricked into firing off a huge Distracting blast with All-Out Attack and Power Attack, along with maybe some Extra Effort, as frequently happens in Dragonball Z. And the other person puts up their defensive shield and just tanks it. And then the first dude is at a huge tactical disadvantage and also demoralized, and quickly gets their ass kicked. I'm trying to make him feel as much like a Dragonball character as I can in a system that doesn't allow gigantic area attacks very easily.
Consider yourself corrected then. That was never even close to part of the intention. He's as far removed from the action as Tony Stark is when Ironman's aroundMiracle wrote: ↑Thu Oct 12, 2017 6:18 am Correct me if I'm wrong, but are you doing the 'i'm gonna stay in the ship and send down the drones to do my work' thing?

I'm not trying to sound mean, I do like the character all except that part of it. Then again, maybe i'm misinterpreting it!
