Re: [MH] Would like help with some characters
There is something to be said for the Avenger/Atoner or Soldier Warrior who dumps all his advantage points into Will 20. Not only does that bring Power Blow into combat useful range, it cranks Intimidate, and, well... the advantage of Will 20 vs a whole lot of nasty monster attacks is hard to overstate.
Being "the man with the Iron Will" can be fun when everyone else is curled in the fetal position gibbering...

Okay, I think I'll try these ideas. I don't know why I didn't think of the vibroblade thing myself Quote:
The short answer is 'it looks cool'. The long answer is I needed a fifth human character that was different from the others yet had abilities that were not blatantly supernatural and could be explained away as nanotech enhancement or genetic engineering. The Experiment and the Warrior were the only two left and both lend themselves very well to melee combat so I went with that. I know the Experiment can be a braniac too but I felt the team could use another guy who could dish out some hurt rather than another nerd type. So I think I'll run with a Warrior armed with awesome tricked out weapons and a high Will and see how that turns out. As for the Sage, I really like the idea of super-genius type abilities. I'm thinking about a kind of Precognition level of predictive ability similar to that shown by Robert Downey Jr's version of Sherlock Holmes. How much of a discount would there be if it could only used when the character is aware of his surroundings and can only 'see' up to a minute or so ahead of time? And if the roll is a critical failure I would lie about what he thinks will happen. Or would this be better modelled by Visualisation (as suggested) with a reduced time enhancement? I'm always amazed at how friendly and helpful this forum is and I love the fact that the writers of the game get involved with the players and help out where they can. I just hope one day I will have something I can give back. Thank you all so much for these ideas. I can't put into words how helpful you have all been and please keep the ideas flowing either for me or maybe someone else that has a similar issue. |

I don't believe it's intended to be used in that manner, that'd give major benefits in combat. That does sound like Visualization though, but you'd need Reduced Time for that. |

Re: [MH] Would like help with some characters
I'd give some critters injury tolerance vs non muscle powered attacks and vulnerability to muscle powered
So your vibrosword is great for cracking armored humans, but against some baddies you want an old skool pure muscle powered weapon |
