Well, I explained the Accurate feats (It's Bathory guiding the hand of her progency. If it wasted, there are reprecussions. The Countess does not abide wasting The Blessing.) but I didn't explain no base attack. Hm. You think after 400 years she'd pick up some combat skills. Rectified after this post.

Changed the Sight-Dependent flaw to the Distracting flaw. Holding minds does not takes only a second, but it does reuire your attention.

Changed the Unreliable flaw to something more fitting to the character concept :P

Powers:

Mind Control 10 (Extras: Conscious, Sustained, Effortless, Instant Command; Flaws: Side Effect 1 (17pp), Touch Range, Distracting, Unreliable (recharge, ritual bath); Power Feats: Subtle, Mind Link, Accurate 5)

Costs: Abilities (30) + Combat (20) + Saves (25) + Skills (14) + Feats (4) + Powers (67) - Drawbacks (10) = 150

Just one minor detail, shouldn't Unreliable (recharge, blood every 24 hours) be Power Loss (unless recharged by blood every 24 hours)?

I knew you'd ask about the Accurate feats It's sort of the reason I got the side effect. It's Bathory guiding the hand of her progency. If it wasted, there are reprecussions. The Countess does not abide wasting The Blessing.

I'll fix the Sight-Dependant after I post this.

I was thinking of something like draining a live subject, but you know, that wouldn't be a bad idea either ;)

Players Name: Chumpsteady

Power Level: 10

Characters Name: Lilith Bathory

Alternate Identity: many of them

Description: Lilith is a natural shapeshifter. She looks like whatever her imagination pleases.

History: Historians record Elizabeth Bathory as a madwoman who killed young virgin females to keep her youth. The truth was perverted. The weak fell and the strong were granted The Blessing. By the time Bathory was found out, her progency was already spreading to the four corners of the world. Lilith is one of the first to recieve The Blessing. For 400 years she has avoided making her progency, but recently it has started gnawing at her. She has come to Freedom City as it seems the most likely to find someone pure.

How would one represent a trophy room, or is that just description?

Is there a good place for a remote mansion in Freedom? :P

Would it be better for this game with a villain(ine) rather than a heroine? Is Villainine even a word?

Would filling this questionnaire out and posting it here be off topic?

Would ritual chamber be covered under labratory or workshop?

If my ritual chamber is in my attic or basement, does my HQ have to have living space as it is connected to a house?

Does a library let you take 20 on design checks?

If so, does it take 20 times as long?

If the side effect always occurs when you use the power, it is a –2 modifier.

She has no fangs for Drain Con, I was going to do it "realistically", with a straight razor.

Yes, she is a one-trick pony. Yes, that's way she has Ritualist. Also Connected.

The Side-effect is basically a huge migraine. She has to roll 8 or better to avoid it, meaning she could be stunned.

Don't give up it sounds like a very fun idea :)

My second character is gonna be a take on this. Probably will be total invisible to anyone who isn't drunk. And maybe a power to get people drunk. Definately will be able to affect drunk people with it's powers. Thing is, there are no stats for being drunk. Anybody got any ideas?

That sounds good, but what measure is beauty? Anyone with the Attractive feat? More Charisma than me?

I am almost done with the character. By the way, I'm sort of not going with the traditional vampire as in "cursed by God". Meaning she can walk around in sunlight and crosses aren't a problem, but she will have some parts in there. The silvered weapons and drinking blood I kept. "Bathory vampires" are obsessed with the purity and beauty of their victims. They can drink anyone's blood for sustenace, but it's the truly pure and/or beautiful they seek out for nourishment and possibly for their progency.

Does this feat work in a PbP game? If so, what's the extent of the favors?

I hope I'm not creeping in on your character creation, but I would like to ask if you would be cool with you if I used the Bathory surname. If not, I understand. If so, maybe we could compare stories?

Would it be rude to name a character a something another player already using? I had an idea for a Bathory character and I find out someone is trying to get a Bathory character approved. Same last name, different first name.

A day late and a dollar short. I was thinking of a character with the Bathory name :P
