Dark Servant Suggestion...

Can we get an option to make Dark Servant look like a doppleganger?

Our toon, but all black, like in the doppleganger missions/Posi Taskforce?

What would be the thematic reason for this?

My Necro/Dark can't make copies of himself. He can use his dark magic to bring the dead to life and control the forces of dark magic.

I guess I could RP it as he's just using the black arts to clone himself...
Then again, thats what the Lich is for.

Right now I just imagine it's pure evil thats been given limited intellect by me.


I'd rather have a new MM primary. Multiple-man
With each Tier being a different era 'you'

You also give that Pure Evil -form-

Doesn't have to be a clone... Could just be pure negative energy molded into the user's likeness rather than a diffuse cloud-monster.

I also endorse Illusion Doppleganger options for Phantom Army and Phantasm/Decoy Even if it's just an option. I'd also love to see a Multiplicity set for MMs, with "Branching" options. Pick a weapon (pistol, rifle, bow, laser-gun, etc) and it gives your minions a set of powers based off the one you choose (Bow makes Ninja pets, Rifle makes mercs, pistols makes Thugs) But only in the -granted- power of the pets, and the three "Personal" powers of the MM, not in the other powers of the set. So your Pistol Multiple MM would have thug pets for the purposes of their attacks, but wouldn't get "Gang War" for example.

I'd also love to see the option of having gender-aligned, costume-aligned MM pets. Different faces, skin tones, and hairstyles, but everything below the neck is a doppleganger costume. Multiple minions wearing their leader's outfits.

I'm not saying get rid of Fluffy. Just giving the ability to make a shadow/dark clone of oneself as well

Isn't that themetic? For those that Fluffy fits the concept it works. And for those that casting Fluffy as a clone of themself works too.

That just means they need to put more man hours into researching and developing a way to make it work. That's what interns are for!

I think there was a Q/A round in the forums few days ago, where BaB said that.
Doppelganger Phantom Army would be the only reason to roll an Illusion/. I don't know why but for some reason I keep rerolling every Ill troller I make.
