Also, power customization. Please, do some research before you bring up tired old complaints.

Yep. Or at least research after people point out that it has long since been debated, and that it isn't going to happen for some time, if ever. You want us to come up with a solution? OK, it's called power customization. Do we all want power customization? YES. Are they going to stick it in the next issue just because you don't like targeting drone? NO. Welcome to the line, please move to the back of the queue rather than taking cuts.
(I'm actually with you. I've always hated the thing on my Assault Rifle/Devices. Shhh. Don't tell anyone.)

I'm really fond of the power but I can understand the desire for it to be different.
I'd rather have TD than another glowy magical effect.
Besides, ninjas are stalkers, not scrappers.

I would argue that a guy carrying a lightsaber and shooting fireballs from his hands is neither scrapper or stalker.

One could argue shurikens, smoke bombs, caltrops, nets and the like were the weapons technology of their "day". I look around Paragon and I see cars and trams and skyscrapers....maybe *my* ninja of this modern age would be smart enough to employ modern technology to aid in my quest for spreading good.....even with a silly drone someone crafted for me to help.

This.
Though I fully understand and agree with the idea that *anyone*, regardless of origin, should be able to take just about any power and customize it to their origin or concept.
I understand that this would be quite difficult to do from a code standpoint - therefore I understand why this isn't the way it is.
We all know that what is "right" or "fair" is rarely what "is". So we run with what we have and smile. Right? Yup.

I agree with the poster!

a shuriken and caltrops are WAY lower tech than something that explodes and is designed to lock someone in place...
If it was a smoke bomb, I'd agree, but the concept of web grenade really isn't ninja esq.
[/ QUOTE ]
Depends on what you think Ninjas are. Ninjas employ tricks, weapons, stealth. Web Grenade could be devised and used by a martial artist as could Caltrops and Shurikens. Targeting Drone doesn't fit the roleplay theme of the other powers in Weapon Mastery, it was just available to be plugged in. One day it should be addressed in some fashion.
[/ QUOTE ]
You do realize that Weapons Mastery wasn't designed for those that wanted to make a Ninja, right? It was designed as a thematic ancillary pool for the blade using power sets. It has nothing to do with ninjas or any specific character concept (which you seem to be operating under the incorrect assumption of). All of the ancillaries were designed to be vague thematic counterpoints to the existing sets. Scrappers had DM, the blades, and MA when the APPs were added. Dark for dark, Weapon for the blade sets, and Body for MA. Complaining about the Targeting Drone because you don't think it works for ninjas is like complaining about the Laser Beam Eyes and Energy Torrent in Body Mastery. None of them fit specifically with their root power set, but that doesn't mean you have to take it or that the animation/effect is bad.
If anything, a modern ninja would leap at the chance to use higher level technology than what they had available in the medieval era simply because they used whatever tools they had available. They would never handicap themselves by only using tools from a specific era.
I really think that you need to remove your head from your rectum and figure out that the APPs don't exist to make your concept complete. If you don't like how it looks, you don't have to take it.
(Also, they're not going to take up one of the 8 remaining costume option slots for a single power effect that you don't like. They've got better things to use them for. If you don't know what this means, you need to learn more about the problems with power customization before you start trying to make a fuss about it.)

I wonder if the first ninja using caltrops got razzed for it....his buddies told him REAL ninja still use polished rocks and sturdy sticks.
