Probability Manipulation Powersets

What powersets in your opinion can be used as a fill in for Probability Manipulation? This is for a concept where a gambler with some Probability control has to turn to true villainy. Any red side AT will do. I'm thinking possibly Super Reflexes, Fortunata and Night Widows, perhaps Radiation Emissions, etc. Would love to hear what everyone thinks!

Fortunata sounds like a best fit to me, but basically anything that relies on defense for survival should work.

I may have to break my (silly) rule and make a male Fortunata. Sadly the concept has no connection to Arachnos tho.

Or a Mace/SR Brute. :P

Many Dark powers also have a secondary affect of -acc. A combo of rad/dark or dark/rad would have the combination of increasing your own chance to hit while decreasing mobs chance to hit you.

Great, now I want a 'lady luck' style powerset. Rolling dice, spinning slots, and getting totally random effects. This is ALL YOUR FAULT, you hear me??! >:(

Looking at all of the awesome (but old) Probability Manipulation powerset ideas in the Suggestion forms makes me sad. I'd love to see one of those some day. I know you can get away with some current powers and I plan to, but I'd love to see a dedicated powerset at some point. Somewhere between Empathy/Rad Debuffs/SR Buffs. /swoon

I guess I'm in between DP/Rad Corr or Mace (or DB)/SR Brute. He's based on a playing card theme. I'd strongly consider Thugs if there were some /rad or another decent probability feeling power for MMs.

i have a Rad/Dark Defender whose concept is cursing enemies with bad luck hexes. i find Radiation Emission is one of the easiest sets to conceptualize as probability manipulation since that's exactly what some of your powers do.

Perhaps a very transparent Force Field, where the team bubbles are your "contagious good luck" and the knockback aura a result of enemies tripping over themselves. Force Field/Dual Pistols I could buy, for example.

I'll look at FF if I do Thugs for sure. See how transparent I can get them to look. I hate buffing tho but I'm a slave to concept.

Another vote for Radiation Emission.

I've used it on a few characters for probability control or reality alteration.

I've not followed the MM secondary power set progression over the years - have they said MMs will get Radiation eventually or have they said that's just crazy talk since it'd be too good?

Don't forget to make ample use of those 'dice' emotes, too.
