[Powers] Fire Extinguisher Ability

[JCurwen3]

Not sure what the best way to do this is. I'd like a power that would do Toxic damage to things like fire elementals. It would also put out fires. Is this an Innate Attack, an Affliction, or what? How would you build this? It's not just an Accessory perk, is it?

Go to the Powers book for things like Create (Water) and Control(Fire).

Would either work as an attack that did damage to an appropriate target, like a fire elemental? After all, technically without Abilities At Default you can't use a Control / Create Fire power as a damaging attack against normal creatures, right?

Assuming the fire elemental had a vulnerability or weakness to water it would get extra damage. And being able to put out a normal fire is a reasonable special effect. Special effects often get you extra little things and drawbacks and that is ok and normal.
When its too much extra then someone has to pay more but in this case the fire elemental did that for you by getting extra points from a disadvantage.

Toxic attack with appropriate limitation and an Accessory perk.

It's Destroy Fire with a special effect.

That's probably the way I'd go. Other methods would work, but this one looks like the cheapest.

If it was no more effective than a small fire extinguisher (i.e., it can be used for a short period of time and then has to be refilled, which takes a while, "fuel," etc.) then it's just an accessory.

If it is an attack one can use over and over again, at long range, etc., then it is some kind of Destroy Fire/Toxic Attack ability (or, rather, one ability with the other as an alternate at 1/5 cost). Depending on the kind of extinguisher, the toxic attack might be very limited--some fire extinguishers use non-toxic chemicals (so they'd only be toxic to a creature made of fire).

I hope this helps.
