Binding powers to costumes?

Someone's surely thought of this, though I'm curious to see if anyone's had the discipline to follow through on it.

Basically, you've got certain powers that are only available in certain costumes.

Simple example: Mind/TA Controller. Costume 1 is lightweight clothing, allowing for free movement. TA powers are available when this costume is worn. Costume 2 features high-tech body armor. When this is worn, Tough and Stealth are available, but TA powers are not. Mind powers are available at all times, being non-physical in nature.

Anyone done/seen this? And if so, do you have any fancy binds to manage the costumes, powers, and trays?

Um, I think you posted in the wrong section here. This would go more in the powers discussion.

But since I'm already here: to my knowledge, there is no way to do this as you cannot turn on and turn off powers in such a way that you CAN'T activate them, nor will your power tray change when you switch costumes.

However, you should be able to do this manually: since you have 10 power trays, you can fill the powers assocxiated with 'costume 1' into the first three, the 'costume 2' powers into the second three and switch between 1-3 and 4-6 when you change costumes.

Sorry, perhaps my intentions were unclear.

I'm interested in seeing if anyone has utilized this artifice -- restricting certain powers to certain costumes -- as a role-playing tool.

Maybe a Fire Blast/Cold Domination Corruptor? Would match their personalities fairly well too.
Sakura = aggressive 'kick the tires, light the fires' role
Miyu = hesitiant more supportive role

There is. Dominator has the primary ice control and secondary fire blast.

Hm, you have a point.
I still wanna hold off on it for a while.
In ideal circumstances, Sakura would be a Fire/Fire blaster, and Miyu would be an Ice/Ice dominator (Which, based on their personalities, is pretty ironic)

Yes I have an armor costume which when I activate/toggle my Battle Armor, I switch to to cc3 which is my armor and activate my Invul power.

In rp terms he teleports his battle armor on to him to increase his already massive defenses. It's fun and looks good. YMMV good luck Heroes.
