You are aware I said, and I quote myself:

So your Badger character would NOT fall under what I was saying. You can make a character with claws jutting from his hands, heals rapidly and bones laced with whateverium. Call him Badger, put him in a trench coat, bare chest with green leather pants and a black facemask and Marvel would be in no more a position to sue than they are with any Claws/Regen characters running around the game now.

But you can have your argument about the devs covering their butt with regard to an Energy Blade set. If feeling right is what you want, you're welcome to it ^^

The suggestion doesn't say Energy dmg with minor additional fire dmg. It just says energy/fire. I say why shoot bullets when you can shoot energy and fire and you respond "Oh, the fire is minor damage, not the proposed split." I'm just saying

I feel I can express my distaste for putting bullets in an advanced armor blast set (you're blowing stuff up with explodey missiles, no need for tiny non-explodey ones). It spreads the concept of the blasts themselves. If that's not an issue with you all, then why not give the set 1 laser, 1 chain gun, 1 missile, 1 grenade, 1 flamethrower, 1 energy net, etc. etc.?

Then what are the odds they'll resist energy AND fire damage?

And honestly, that's all you'd need to avoid legal action, is make the sword not look like a lightsaber, not call it a lightsaber and for good measure, make it not work like a lightsaber.

I just find it funny you think Lucas would sue on grounds that we're already standing on. WoW is just as easily considered his competition and no, the 1st link isn't a longsword on fire, it's a sword made of energy. While it does happen to burn the foe, then what is the Blade of Wizardry



A sword in-game that looks similar to the blazing lonsword but more whitish and does not burn the enemy (instead it improves the damage of magic when equipped).

Or the Argent Avenger:


Bottom line, they're swords made of energy (of some kind) and are called something other than lightsabers. If Lucas could sue he would have already.

PS: That isn't saying I *want* the suggested set by the OP. It's retardedly OP. But Energy Blade was a set proposed in the past poll. I voted for it. I'm pretty sure it's not impossible due to legal issues.

You can just as easily say those symbols are a special sign language that hones into the creature's extra senses that give them orders. That you can't get past the fact they're flaming or that they're symbols is your own lacking.

Also, like I said. That's just how Mastermind sets are crafted. They are origin specific by their nature (but they don't have to be if you're creative enough). That has no precedence on blast sets.

It’s nice to say that but I don’t think the dev’s mantra. Sure, they try to make things ambiguous with respect to origin but I think they just add things that look and feel cool and unique while still fitting within the scope of the game’s engine. There’s nothing inherently wrong with a power that implies an origin so long as you can just as easily make a different origin character with another theme implied power.

Haha, that argument doesn’t work. What is robotics? A bunch of robots and a pulse rifle. What are thugs? A gang of hooligans and pistols. What are demons? A hoard of monsters and a whip.

That’s just how MM sets are crafted. That only (if at all) holds precedence for Mastermind summon primary sets which the OP’s idea is not.

And I give you equal amounts of MAJOR negative points to balance it. This is Paragon City, Rhode Island, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA! We spell it ‘Armor’!

Besides that, I like it. It’s focused. Just missiles and lasers that fire from the arm. Even causing the arm to transform a bit to launch the rockets wouldn’t infringe heavily on concept and opens up possibilities for unique animations. However, one draw I believe new sets should have is ‘something’ to make them unique mechanic-wise. Like DP has ammo switch, Demon summoning is more melee-ranged focused etc.
Like explained before, I don’t care much for the idea of adding grenades and machine guns to it and even more against it if for whatever reason, these are fired from a new location on the body like from a back-mounted unit or the shoulder. But even then, I can see perhaps adding a grenade attack (maybe even call it Ballistics Armor Blast) and maybe a Dragon-Breath round attack in there. But I'd rather such a set be focused (Lasers, missiles and maybe a grenade and explody-round attack).

Considering the sheer amount of Laser Blades in media ranging from books to movies to video games, I highly doubt it.

lol!

I care about Poison. But I also care about an AT with melee attacks + support sets. We can't always get what we want.

And the visuals aren't really that smokey, especially if you color it right. And who's to say poisons can't be gas *points to Poison Gas Arrow*

The fear skulls when you give the foes 'the shakes' is almost too perfect though.

Well guess what? Nipples were specifically designed to be gripped

Can you not pinch your arm and pull at the skin without bruising yourself?

Vapors. Steamy. Apply that connotation to a person. Think 'hot and bothered' but milder >_>

a. Must be a Christian or Religious College cause college students talk about weird stuff all the time. The majority of those *do* weird stuff for the fun of it

b. You're not 'squashing' the nipples, you're 'stimulating' them. You stop *before* it causes physical harm (mostly) >_>

c. That's not what 'the vapors' mean
