The Smoking Demon

From my own experiences average Empaths are uncommon. You seem to get very aware people with a good understanding of of how their powers work and in what situation they are best, or simply awful Empaths who you ignore as a healer and perceptive buffer, simply because you cannot rely on their heals or judgement.

I think what gets to me most however is ignorance about what your power does. I'm all for people learning too, but surely people read what a power does before they choose it.

It's a tragic moment when an Ogre is charging towards you while your stunned but near full health and the Empath heals you..

Some interesting ideas here. I like the Stun Grenade and the change to Trip Mines. Most of the time I'm pretty good with Trip Mine placing, but it's silly that someone can just run over them without being damaged.

Issue 2: Frog Fu! (?!)

''Get arf.'' the Tsoo tattoo artist said in Chinese.

''No.'' said The Terrific Thunder Frog.

''I need me noodles!'' said the artist.

''Tuff.'' said the Frog.

''You mean.'' said the artist

''I only half electrocuted you, stop moaning and ink the damn frog on my a*se.''

''I'm not touching your a*se.'' said the Tsoo tattoo artist.

''You don't have to touch it. Just ink it with your pen thing.'' said the Frog.

''I don't want my pen on your a*se either.'' said the artist.

''I'll fully electrocute you if you don't.'' said the Frog.

''Do it. Because I would rather be fully electrocuted than have me or my pen touch your a*se.''

''Ok.'' said the Frog.

Thunder Frog then electrocuted the Tsoo tattoo artist at full strength.

''Now do it!'' said the Frustrated Frog, wanting magical frog powers.

''Hello?'' Said the Frog.

''Oh poo.''

Frog looked around to see if anyone had witnessed his albeit unintentional slaying of a surrendered man in order to get a tattoo done on his a*se.

Frog thought what to do next. It was at this moment that together with the eratic movement of his leapfrog boots and his rather random strengthed discharges of huge amounts of electricity from his gaunlets, Frog realised could form the basis of his new own martial art...Frog Fu! Now for someone to train this new deadly style upon!..


''er ih'' questioned lord. of fire (probably with those Hollow shoulder pad things), starring at the lifeless body of the surrendered Tsoo artist and then at Frog's grinning face.

''Oh.. Why hello there.'' Frog grinned with glee.

It's just as boring to people who want to PvP.

Well said OPer. Want rewards of an enviroment..deal with the risks of the enviroment. Really that simple. Don't want to be involved in PvP..don't enter a PvP zone, because thats what Recluse's Victory is.

Issue 1: The Origin of Thunder Frog!

''I was an electrician.'' Thunder Frog said.

The supergroup leader dropped his head with pantomime grace, ''Oh fek, not another one.''

''Wha?'' cried the Frog.

''It's a popular one. Some guy builds himself a suit from his college knowledge and attempts to throw himself into fame and fortune. Problem is most of 'em throw themselves into a hail of bullets or in front of the train their trying to catch.''

The hero starred at Thunder Frogs yellow eyes which were in actuality, the top part of his helmet and appeared to be made out of cheap plastic or at best fibre glass. He then continued.

''How old are you?''

''41.'' Thunder Frog replied.

''And how long have you been an electrician?'' asked the hero.

''19 years.'' said Thunder Frog.

''Wife? Kids?''

''Married with two little girls.'' said the Frog.

The hero narrowed his eyes at the peeling ''F'' on Thunder Frog's costume.

''So lemme get this straight.'' the supergroup leader said,

''Your 41. Have been in a profitable and secure trade job for 19 years. You have two young daughters and pressumably a wife who loves you. Why precisely do you want to dress up as a frog, bounce 150 feet into the air and electricute people?''

''Sh*ts and giggles?'' said the Frog.

Frog's answer in was reaction to the hero's tone and the hero although self important, saw this. He took no insult dispite this and found himself starring at Frog's false eyes again. He then looked at Frog, not saying anything.

''There was a woman who lived next door to me.'' Frog said.

''Her husband cheated on her I heard. He managed to get the kids. A couple of months after that she was in a car accident and lost the use of legs. Well her left leg but what it matter. She still went to work, She pushed on in her wheelchair. She would always smile. She had a frog pond and the kids and her would watch the frogs hop about.''

The hero looked at Frog's real eyes.

''I swear she was the unluckist son of a [censored], because not more than a week later her house was robbed and they smashed up a lot of stuff. But still she would smile. She would smile at my kids if I was taking them somewhere and they would wave to her. Sometimes she would babysit for us, the kids really liked her, she was great with them. She'd make these weird Mexican treats for them.''

Frog sighed.

''She was murdered by Hellions one night coming home. For what reason I don't know. Probably no reason. She was always nice to my kids. And dispite her own hardships she went on with a smile.''

Frog looked right at the hero.

''It's for her I fight.''

The hero starred at Frog. ''You realise I'm a mindreader right?''

''Yer. Figured.'' said the Frog. ''But even so I had you for a minute :P''

''You think death is funny?!'' the hero screamed.

''Only when it's Brian Blessed.'' Frog replied.

''You fiend! I love BB!'' the hero cried as he tried to attack Thunder Frog. Thunder Frog hopped back.

''This is what you do?! Waste supergroup's time with your rambling lies?!''

''I don't wanna join your nub supergroup!'' the Frog shouted.

''I'll get you Thunder Frog! I'll expose you as the fiend and glowing box hunter you really are!''

''LOL'' said the Thunder Frog.



(Sorry...very bored at work)

Would be no different than 7 Kinetics buffing the holds of anything else. 7 Kinetics alone would be 'overpowered'.

Coffee here and same to you. Yeah it was pretty slick; one of those teams that gells without commands. I'd be up for Num, Tuesday would be better for me, as I'm PST night shift and am feeling like liquid sh*t today

Haha, ace. Wonderful idea and very imaginative powers in the set. Nice work.

They would then have to change most of the power names. I very much doubt they'd do either.

Black Beauty. AR/Traps

This poor African American man was born with hoofs for feet. As you can imagine this doesn't aid him bar (Kick).
He is however a striking man and has beautiful soft hair.

You are free to kill him off.

There's not making sense and then there's pink dark.

Rethinking it, total customization would make things a little odd. I'm in agreement that changing the colour of energy blasts and such would be fantastic, but Dark being turned pink and Fire green just doesn't make any sense.

Quite. This is insane. Proberly one of the rarest combos too.

Ta.

Charged Brawl V Energy Punch?
Havoc Punch V Bone Smasher?
Thunder Strike V Total Focus?

Many thanks. 21 seconds still sounds like a lot of fun

So I remade my main due to the Tommy Gun unlockable power fitting him perfectly. I went with Kinetics as a secondary as it fitted him better than the other secondarys (especially in apperance).

Now I'm a little excited due to the thought of Hasten + Speed Boost + 3 Recharge SO's/IO's in Full Auto. So with all these three effects, anyone have any numbers for an unnumbery person? My thought was a recharge of 15 seconds.

I'd like to see this at some point too.

I'm up for this.

Not used Ninja Blade much. However Martial Arts has very decent damage once you get Crane Kick and Eagle's Claw. With them and Placate slotted well and maybe hasten (and of course AS), there's going to be little you can't take down pretty quick.

I found MA a real drag at first though on my Stalker.
