Powers/Imbuement: Gambit's Power
Would anyone care to give a crack at modelling Gambit's 'charging' power with Imbuements and/or Powers?
I'm about to start a Supers game and my primary NPC will have this ability. I'm interested in seeing the thoughts of some of you folks while I consider how to do it. |

Crushing Attack X (Explosive, Accessibility: Requires something small to charge (-10%), Nuisance effect: explosion destroys object (-5%))
Add increased range and power modifiers to taste. |

Re: Powers/Imbuement: Gambit's Power
Im not massively clear on gambits exact capabilities, so this instead mimic Mark Skarr's power.
Imbue 3 (One Imbuement, -80%) [8], Shockwave! Xlvl [x] ?? |

His trademark weapon is playing cards. You couldn't get the base damage high enough for a credible Shockwave. I've created a version of Gambit that's almost exactly like Mark's though I added Delay & Overhead so that he can toss it like a grenade. |

Well, PU-2 states that one can imbue a Innate Attack, so I would design the basic "card throw" for Gambit (say, a 2d cutting attack) and apply the Shockwave and Shattershot.

p. 16: "Remember that Imbuement Skills are for fists and weapons, not for attack abilities. If you want an enhancement on your advantage, buy the enhancement!" The way to simulate Gambit's abilities is either an Innate Attack with an accessibility (as Mark Skarr posted above), or use the recommendations of the Imbuement power (PU-1, pg. 17), and purchase an appropriate Innate Attack with Follow-up (any Melee or Weapon attack). Edit: I see naloth already posted with the correct text about not being able to Imbue an Innate Attack. |
