In continuation with more IC development I plan for Lullaby, May I please add Strike 6 (Feat: Accurate 3) (Flaw: Limited, Only usable when angry only) for a mighty 6pp to Lullaby? This is outside of the Device.

[Sandman XI]

Angry as in Hulk driven-to-the-edge-type angry or just "OMG did he just cut me off" type angry?

[Dr Archeville]

Yeah, if it's "Oooh, I can't believe David Archuleta lost on American Idol!," that's not even a Drawback.

If its more a "Lullaby SMASH!" thing, that sounds more like she'd have the Rage feat.

[nareik123]

Hmm, point....

Ok then, I'll remove a rank off Accurate. Leaving me at Strike 6 (Feat: Accurate 2)

[Dr Archeville]

That'd be 8 points.

And you've still not given much explanation for it. How does getting mad (even basic Road Rage mad) make her able to punch a lot harder (yet the seemingly physical attack is completely unrelated to her physical strength, since it's not Mighty) and a lot more accurately (leaping from "Completely Untrained in Any Form of Combat" of +0 attack to "Somewhere Between Police Officer and Soldier" of +4 attack)?

[nareik123]

The idea is that Lullaby, as she becomes attached to Gabriellor more often, unlocks the "Amazonian Fury."

Basically, when she drives herself to distress and grief, she can summon upon unknown reserves of bottled down anger and the power of her ancestors to guide an attack of deadly proportions. However, Gabriellor tells her this attack is NOT to be overused.

[Dr Archeville]

That sounds to me a lot like the Rage feat, and Attack Focus (melee).

[nareik123]

Hmm

Feat: Rage

Attack Specialization 2 (Amazonian Claw)

Strike 3?

[Hellbound]

It's been noted that Hellbound's Throwing Mastery feat, when combined with his Rage feat, takes him over the PL10 Cap. Could the Throwing Mastery feat be changed to Takedown Attack to keep him legal, please?

[Dr Archeville]

Hmm

Feat: Rage

Attack Specialization 2 (Amazonian Claw)

Strike 3?

Strike 2 (PF: Mighty) would be better.

And Attack Focus (melee), since that way she can use her "guiding Amazonian spirits" for Grapple checks, both making them and breaking out of them.

And all that being said, where is this Amazon stuff coming from? There's absolutely nothing in Lullaby's background indicating any Amazon influence or links (or anything about her ancestors), and certainly nothing related to combat. (And the Zatanna-inspired outfit -- which, strictly speaking, is not a dress -- isn't something Amazons would wear, they'd want their arms completely free.)

I see I am once again wasting my time even trying to get Lullaby capable of beating a child.

Archville, have you seen Lullaby recently? Been on her profile?

Have you noticed that she has NO strength modifier? As in "mighty as a feat" is an epic waste of both my time and my PP.

[Dr Archeville]

Of course I've seen her profile, that's how I know there's nothing at all about Amazons in her history. (Has she made an mention of Amazons herself in any of IC threads?)

With the powers she has now -- specifically, that 60-ft. Cone Area Blast -- she can quite easily thrash schoolyards full of children, were she so inclined. Heck, with her +0 Str, her punch is a DC 15; a kid with a +0 Tougnhess save will be getting a 10 on average, resulting in a bruise & a stun.

The Mighty PF would most definitely not be a waste when coupled with the Rage feat, which increases your Strength.

[Shadowboxer]

I have 1 PP to spend on ol' Nightrival, so I'd like to bring his Defensive Roll feat from rank 3 to 4, bringing his Toughness save to +8.

Thanks!

Could I spend 1pp to Increase Lullabies Performance: Dance by 4 ranks?

Could I also give Lullaby 4 ranks in Diplomacy to represent her growing confidence?

Sounds fine. Done and done.

[Geez3r]

I'd like to spend a few of Malice's points to flush out the businessman side of him, as it seems that going be important in the future.

I'll spend his 3 points on feats:

Contacts

Connected

Benefit 1 (Darts Inc. Head Researcher)

These feats are essentially things that I've "always had". The Benefit is essentially access to high tech labs and materials not normally available.

And I'm aware I won't get that much mileage out of them as I am now, but I plan on boosting Diplomacy, and actually getting a Gather Info in the near future.

Done

[Avenger Assembled]

Five pp to spend:

Skills:

Intimidate +4 ranks (to 10 (+12)) (1pp)

Stealth +4 ranks (to 12 (+17)) (1pp)

Feats:

Contacts (1 pp) [street Informants/Vampire Society]

Skill Mastery (Bluff, Intimidate, Sense Motive, Stealth) (1 pp)

Takedown Attack (1pp)

I'd like to dump all 3 of Scarab's earned PP into her power array, bringing the total cost from 29PP to 32PP. This will change the powers as follows:

:arrow: Telekinesis: Add the Improved Pin feat for 1PP. The other 2PP are currently "wasted."

:arrow: Telepathy: Promote to the "main power" of the array. Increase the Mental Communication effect from rank 6 to rank 9, for 3PP.

:arrow: Concealment/Telepathy: Increase the Mental Communication effect from rank 1 to rank 4, for 3PP.

:arrow: ESP/Telepathy: Increase the ESP effect from rank 6 to rank 7, for 2PP. Increase the Rapid feat from rank 2 to rank 3, for 1PP. Reconfigure the Mental Communication effect from rank 6 (standard action) to rank 8 (full action); this does not change the cost.

:arrow: Mental Blast: Increase the power rank from 9 to 10, for 3PP.

:arrow: Mind Control: Increase the power rank from 9 to 10, for 3PP.

:arrow: Stun: Increase the power rank from 9 to 10, for 3PP.

:arrow: Transform: Increase the power rank from 9 to 10, for 3PP.

[Dr Archeville]

Would you mind actually out what the new stats would be, so we can jut do a cut & paste?

[Dr Archeville]

And a little something for myself/ Or, rather, for Belphegor.

First, I'd like to increase the intensity of his Vulnerability to holy attacks from minor to moderate (+50% or x1.5 modifier). As his demonic power grows (see below), the demon-ness in him grows, and so he reacts more violently to holy attacks. (Seeing himself be seriously injured by several holy attacks -- including being almost beheaded by an angel! -- during a training session has also made him far more wary of holy assaults.) His human 'skin,' though, does still protect him from 'environmental' holy attacks (i.e., he can set foot on holy ground, even in demonic form, and be no worse for wear). This will bring him to 7pp in drawbacks, the max for his PL.

This extra point, plus the 7 he's got saved up, leaves him with 8 to spend.

1 point each on his Fortitude, Reflex, and Will save (3 total).

2 to increase his Demonic Powers array to 6 to 7 ranks. This will make it look as so:

Demonic Powers 7 (PFs: 3 APs) [17pp]

BE: Hellfire Control 7 (Hellfire Bolt)

AP: Create Object 1 (Extras: Independent, Total Fade [lasts for 2 rounds]; PFs: Precise, Slow Fade 8/1 week [objects fade after 2 weeks], Subtle) (Object of Desire)

AP: Emotion Control 7 (Dark Passions)

AP: Impervious Toughness 7 (note: Sustained Active effect) and Penetrating Strength 5 (PFs: Incurable, Takedown Attack) (Internal Infernal Combustion)

2 to increase his Enhanced Attack from 4 to 5.

1 to increase his Protection by one rank, to Protection 2.

Leaving 0 unspent.

This would change certain other stats as so:

Attack: +7 (+2 as Terhune)

Grapple: to +12 (+2 as Terhune)

Knockback: -3, -7 "charged" (+0 as Terhune)

Toughness +7 (+7, Imp 7 "charged") (+0 as Terhune)

Fort +9 (+4 as Terhune) [+5/+0 Con, +4]

Ref +3 (+1 as Terhune) [+2/+0 Dex, +1]

Will +5 [+1 Wis, +4]

Emotion Control --- Perception --- DC 17 Will (emotion control)

Hellfire (Blast) --- +7 ranged --- DC 22 Toughness (damage)

Unarmed Strike --- +7 melee --- DC 20 Toughness (damage)

Unarmed Strike, "Charged" -- +7 melee -- DC 20 Toughness (damage; Penetrating 5, Incurable)
