Vaalus Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Alright. So I would just like opinions on this device. Does it work, is it legal here, possibilities or opinions to make it either work better or fit in better on the board. Anything is appreciated.

Geez3r Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 I'm curious as to why you have Counter Punching and Shockwave as alternate powers instead of just standard Power Feats on your Super-Strength. Switching them to Power Feats will make it more versitile and the cost remains the same. Also, due to the array structure, assuming you keep the same number of alternate powers, each alternate power may have a total of 22 points spent on each setting. But as always, concept takes precedence over mechanics. All of that being said, the device looks perfectly legal to me, from a raw mechanics standpoint anyways. Link to comment
Vaalus Posted July 11, 2008 Author Share Posted July 11, 2008 As far as counter punch and shockwave go, I guess I misunderstood that part. I'll fix that shortly. Other than that I was confused on the AP structures, as I thought they were only allowed to re-spend the points on the power itself not including feats. If you can re-spend the points on feats as well then would/could it look like this?

Geez3r Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Yeah you have a number of points to spend equal to what the original power cost, extras, power feats and all, the exception is the AP feat itself. Link to comment
Vaalus Posted July 24, 2008 Author Share Posted July 24, 2008 So, for anybody else taking a look at it, with those things taken into account is this device good to be approved by the boards standards? Link to comment
Dr Archeville Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Shouldn't gauntlets be Hard to Lose? For the "Thunder Punch," the Dazzle part should be Touch range, so that'd reduce the cost. Points can go to... something (maybe extra Knockback on the Strike part). Or nothing -- no rule saying you must spend every pp available ;) Link to comment
Vaalus Posted July 25, 2008 Author Share Posted July 25, 2008 I had the Gauntlets set up as easy to loose because they're not connected to anything like armor that would keep them in place if somebody tried to pull them off his hands with a disarm attempt. As far as the thunder punch goes, it is the same build of thunder punch from Ultimate Power from the electrical control power, which also comes up to be that many ranks. I'm unsure if that build of Thunder Punch was built without spending the remaining points or if they had an area effect on the auditory dazzle. Link to comment

It's not Area, but it should have the Range reduced to Touch. You could certainly add Area, or whatever. Link to comment
Vaalus Posted July 25, 2008 Author Share Posted July 25, 2008 If I added anything it would probably be the additional knockback, I don't need anything else on it really. Link to comment
