MORE POWERS!!!

List Of suggested powers and melee weapons: light sabers, web powers, water powers, more shapeshifting, magnetic powers, lazor beams (from your eyes), time travel, a trident, telepathy, missiles and rockets, more energy blasts to choose from.

Ummm could you try thinking up some actual powers and not be so vague?

Somebody had too much sugar today... and then found the Forums.

*looks at OP's Reg Date*

Actually, here's some better feedback...

Josiah, there is a LOT already in this game. Much of what you put in your suggestions is stuff already in here, too. I recommend taking a few months to play through it first and see what there is to offer.

Play a few different ATs, try to get one of them to 50, and really experience what there already is to offer.

Then, with a better understanding of what's already here, come back with more informed suggestions.

Sheesh, Grey, your just ruining all the potential fun. I mean... play the game and learn what is really in it? Come now, good sir. You must be joking.

I agree with some of the ideas you have,and I do support them 100%,but like Ms. LISAR said,being Vague is not going to help here.

Take a certain power that you have mentioned;Let's say..the "Trident" and describe it.Does it shoot electricity,or thunder,or something else entirely?..Move along these lines when suggesting a power.

Yeah. I'm a regular comedian.

I get paid in hot strippers that are willing to do whatever I want. It's the only currency I accept, as such, I rarely get booked.

I'm only asking them to play some DnD with me. You'd think they'd be relieved...

Light sabers arent going to happen for copyright reasons
A lot of your suggestions are already in the game, or very close equivalents are:

Energy Blast on Blasters or Defenders makes a very good water blast set - blue bubbly beams that knock the target around.

Magnetic Powers - check out Gravity Control for Controllers. Grav/Force Fields is a popular combo for this.

Eye Beams - Radiation Blast Defenders get one power called X-Ray eyes. Tankers and Scrappers get Laser Eye Beams at level 44, but thats some way off I'm guessing.

Time Travel: Use the teleport pool. Maybe Kinetics to speed up/slow down time.

Telepathy: Mind Control and Illusion Control for controllers, Psychic Blast for Blasters and Defenders.

Give some of these a go and see how you like them.

Maybe if you were this specific, instead of saying they'll be 'Role Playing".

Dang! I knew I'd forgot something!

I guess when I showed up wearing a hooded robe and carrying a gnarled staff, they got the wrong idea...

*gets wrong ideas*

YARG! That's going to replace the demon in my nightmares!

Lightsabres as such and called that, no, but there's no reason why a more general energy blade cannot be in the game. In fact, it sort of is - that's what Talsorian weapons are. Them being in the game, it sort of puts a full energy blade powerset out of the question, though.

Ah, the good old days of D&D...

Weeding out the dumb, obnoxious players (DOPs).

DOP: Look! It's a helmet! It's mine! Give it to me:
player snatches the helm from the chest
Mage: You should let me examine that.
DOP: Shut up! I know what I'm doing!
DOP plops the helm on. The mage shakes his head.
DM: Congratulations, Zarg the Mighty. You have been decapitated.
DOP: WHAT?! Who? Where?!
DM: Well, as you have no head and your blood is spilling out all over the ground, you can't really tell, can you?
The mage casts a few spells.
Mage: Wow. Fancy that. A cursed Vorpal Helm of Cranial Translocation.
DOP: Didn't I get a saving throw?
DM: From what?
DOP: Well...from...
DM (smirking): You put the helm on. It was cursed. The effect was instantaneous.
DOP: WTF!!! That's BS, Man!
DM: May I kindly refer you to Rule Zero? Roll up a new character.
DOP (to the cleric): Can't I get a rez?
Cleric: Not without a head, you can't.
Rogue (grinning): Can I have his stuff?

To TyrantMikey,

I have a similar memory. But it envolves Rifts.

A buddy of mine was playing a character that was essentially Thor from the comics. A long time RPG friend of mine was playing a toon with Create Forcefield and lots of PE so he had some strong shields.

Now they come upon a town in the forest, being attacked by flying monsters. In the course of the fight, one of the two story buildings catches fire by a critical miss from one of the lasers the group had. The heroes hear from the 2nd floor the cries of a few children.

The Thor clone says to me, "I swing my hammer at the wall with all my strength!!"

I ask him, "Are you trying to get into the building"
Thor goes.."Yes, As fast as possible, I MUST SAVE THE CHILDREN!!!"

I say, "Are you sure you want to use all of your strength??"
Thor says.."Of course!"

Ok.."Well, You see the entire wall go crashing in..And knock through the supports of the entire building and smash through the other side"
"You begin hearing the entire building creaking and groaning from the weight of the building resting on just two of the four outer walls!"
What do you do?!? I ask Thor the Mighty!
He says.."I jump through the 1st floor ceiling and get to the kids" I mentally smack my forehead and say.

"So..let me get this straight. You have in the span of 4 seconds, Destroyed two walls, and the internal supports for a two story building, and have now jumped your nearly 7 foot tall, 350 lb frame through a ceiling, to help "Save" some kids."

He goes.."Yup".
I go..ok..one second.

Look at my friend who has some sense and say..."What do you do after seeing Thor smash out two walls and can hear the groaning of the building from the street 100 feet away where you stand.??"

He says, " I Put up Forcefield bubbles up in the middle of the first floor to help prop up the building." I say..ok sounds good, and by the way you have a monster flying at you at about 50 miles an hour.
He says. Well...how can I shape this force field bubble.
I say, "As a sphere, a box, a pyramid, any simple shape."
He says. "Well, can I turn it at an angle?"
I say, "Sure, show me what you mean" I hand him a d4, a d6, and a d30"
He picks the d6, turns it so the point of it is facing me..and says "I place it in front of the monster with the point at its chest"
I give him a to hit roll.
He makes it.
The monster collides with a hard-edged object at 50 mph. The forcefield is now covered in gore. And the building has enough support to get Thor the Moron out of it with kids in tow.

Sometimes, the easiest solution is the best!

I want chainsaw melee plz

Okay, I put on my thinking cap earlier today, and came up with some ideas for Water Powers. I didn't make balancing a concern, just thinking out loud. Some of this may just not be a good idea, but I'm just throwing it out there:

WATER: ATTACK (powers listed in no particular order)

• Water Whip: A quick, single-foe attack which inflicts minor damage.
• Water Punch: A stronger, single-foe attack which inflicts minor damage + chance to disorient.
• Water Jet: A strong continuous horizontal jet of water which inflicts minor damage + knockback against a single target.
• Waterboard: A single-foe attack which inflicts moderate damage + chance to disorient.
• Geyser: Summon a vertical jet of water from beneath the earth which inflicts special damage + knockback against all foes within the narrow AoE.
• Storm Surge: Summons a powerful wave of water to inflict moderate damage + knockback against multiple foes.
• Typhoon: A tornado-like pet which inflicts minor to moderate damage + knockback against any foes it approaches within melee range.
• Tsunami: Summons a massive wall of water which inflicts high target AoE damage + knockback + chance to disorient.
• Dehydration: Temporarily weakens a single target's endurance and attack strength by drawing water and vital electrolytes from its body.
• Barotrauma: A single-foe attack which affects intravascular pressure, releasing trapped gas as bubbles within a target's bloodstream and slows its movement speed.
• Water Slice: Propels a sheet of liquid water with enough energy and precision to create a cutting edge which inflicts minor to moderate lethal damage against a single foe.
• Monsoon Fury: Propels multiple smaller sheets of liquid water with enough energy and precision to create cutting edges which inflict minor to moderate lethal damage against all targets within the AoE.
• Embolism: Inflicts high lethal damage against a single target by drastically increasing fluidic pressure in its brain.

• Hydroshield: Surrounds yourself with a dynamic sheet of liquid water to deflect or reduce damage of incoming melée attacks.
• Electrolysis: Envelops your body with a thin film of water infused with conductive minerals to reduce damage from incoming ranged attacks.
• Hydration: Increases a single ally's regeneration rate for a short time with an infusion of nutrient-fortified water.
• Microtide: Increases a single ally's resistance to elemental, lethal, and smashing damage.
• Sea Spray: Reduces your visibility to enemies by creating a mist of light-refracting ocean spray around yourself. Attacking while this power is toggled on will allow foes to see you, but you should still retain some defence bonus while this power is active.
• White Caps: Reduces the visibility of all allies within a nominal radius by creating a heavy mist of light-refracting ocean spray while this power is toggled on.
• Condensation: Briefly increases the recovery rate of yourself and all allies within a certain nominal radius by reclaiming moisture lost normally by natural dehydration and other physical processes.
• Osmosis: Depletes a small amount of a nearby target's Health while simultaneously augmenting the Health of yourself and nearby allies by transferring water and nutrients from the target to you and all allies within a certain radius.
• Tidal Hold: Stops a target in its tracks by controlling the water contained in its body tissues or — in the case of mechanical foes — the fluid in its hydraulic servos.
• Decompression: Frees an ally from Confuse/Disorient/Placate/Sleep/etc effects by using hyperbaric therapy to release excess cranial (or hydraulic) pressure. Grants a slight resistance to these effects for a short time.
• Surfing: Increases your movement speed by riding the crest of a created wave of water like a Malibu surfer!
• Sublimate: Frees a single ally from Hold or Immobilize effects, freezing the hold/immobilization instruments (plants/tentacles/stalactites/force fields) by sublimating ambient gaseous water vapour directly into ice.
• Erosion: Channels a torrent of water against a single target to reduce its attack strength and accuracy.
• Deluge: Floods a targeted AoE with water to slow the movement of all foes within the area.
• Riptide: Toggle on this power to summon a wave of water which holds a single target and continuously pushes it away from you.
• Undertow: Toggle on this power to surround yourself with a current of water that knocks back foes which enter melée range.
• Hypothermia: Slows a target's movement speed and attack rate, sapping its body heat by immersing it in chilling water.
• Narcosis: Confuses a single target by influencing fluidic pressure within the brain, causing placate + chance to attack its own allies.
• Taravana: Affects all foes within a targeted AoE with Narcosis-like symptoms.
