RPing a Mastermind based team...?

I was just wondering if anyone has ever RPed a Mastermind team? It may not be the way you think. I was thinking of 7 players acting like a MM team. For example I am a big fan of Necro/Storm MM’s and then create a team based on that set:


3 Zombies – make them Dark/Dark/Dark Stalkers Or Scrappers
2 Grave Knights – make them BS/Regens/Dark Scrappers or Stalkers
1 Lich – make him/her a Dark/Dark/Dark Defender or Corruptor or Brute or Tank
1 Summoner- make him/her a Dark/Storm/Dark Corruptor or Defender
Or a Ninja/TA

3 Genin – make them a MA/SR scrappers
2 Jounin – make them Nin/Nin Stalkers
1 Oni – make him/her a fire/fire/fire Dom or a Blaster
1 Summoner- make him/her a Archery/TA Corr or Defender
And so on….

I think it would be a great idea and can be fun to see the story line on how a MM team can function. I do think the Summoner should have binds or macros to give the teams commands on what target to attack and when to back off.

... hunh. I've actually never seen that idea before... sounds pretty interesting. The only real problem I'd see is keeping a team of seven synched, especially without being able to levelpact multiple people.

I thought about that also and I was thinking for example 2 grave knights will be lvl pact, 2 zombies will be lvl pact and 1 zombie and 1 lich will be lvl pact. The only one not synched would be the summoner; however he will be the leader of the team and the missions will be set at his lvl.

I do think the hardest thing would be trying to find a team of 7 players that want to RP a pseudo mastermind team. I also do think a thug team would be nice to play also.

3 Thugs (2 Dual Pistol, 1 Fire Blast) Corruptors
2 Enforcer (Dual Pistol) Blasters
1 Brusier (Super Strength) Brute or Tanker

Neat idea.

Thugs wouldn't work so well. Whoever playing the Arsonist would have to get used to dying every other group.

Plus you'd have to find somebody to play that one minion that always runs into melee.

Just pick the guy who always accidentally hits auto-run when trying to type.

I have had a few characters in pseudo-MM arrangements, but never trying for a full team based on one of the sets like this. As much as people clamor for customized MM minions, why try to mimic the existing sets when you have the highest level of customization available?


Having Vengeance and Fallout slotted for recharge means never having to say you're sorry.

Its one way to play a MM team and actually be able to change costumes. I just think the tier 1 pets should look alike when teamed, the tier 2 should look alike when teamed and the tier 3 will have his/her own costume. Its another way you can make the set people always wanted. You can make a clown team, pirate team, etc... How about a Monster MM team with 3 vampires, 2 werewolves and a frankenstin monster. The possibility are endless as long as the team agrees with the power selection for the teams.

One of the reasons I like Thugs, you can almost spot-on duplicate the look of your minions and blend in.

You can even make the 8th spot on the team to be a Posse member mace attack with a baseball bat graphic.

How about a Clockwork MM RP team?

Three Sweepers, tow Menders, and a Builder, simulating a bots MM?

Any of the above could be cool. I'm @SilverChaos If you want to contact me.

Personally from the above I'd be most partial to the undead, but creating our own MM powerset could be interesting too. Perhaps in counterpoint to demon summoning, we'd have Angel Conjuring? Something along those lines anyway.

I wouldn't be averse to participating either- depending on what set we choose/design, I'd probably go for one of the mid-level underlings.

Even though it was my idea I do not want to be the summoner. I rather be a henchmen and play from there. Does someone want to be the lead and then we can decide what to build.

I'll go for either one of the lieutenants or the summoner. Contact me in-game at @NotTroy.

I might be interested, preferably a melee role of some sort, if schedule allows.

My husband and I were in a 5 man thug team a while ago. We flew through the levels and our friends feared teaming with us. It was great fun and my husband was just talking about how he would love to do another all MM team. I will have to tell him about this!

Since we have enough to do the team so far, we can vote on what we want to create. So far I like the Thugs idea and the Praetorian Clockwork. What would everyone else like to create?

What would the power sets be for the Clockwork?

Sweepers- Defender/Corr/Blaster (Energy Blast/Electric Blast?)
Menders - Scrappers/Stalkers (Elec Melee/Kinetic Melee?)
Builder - Tanker/Brute (Kinetic Melee/Elec Melee/Energy Melee?)

Or just stick with the Thugs

3 Thugs (2 Dual Pistol, 1 Fire Blast) Corruptors
2 Enforcer (Dual Pistol) Blasters
1 Brusier (Super Strength) Brute or Tanker

Clockwork might be interesting, although there's not much info I've been able to find on them. Thugs could be pretty badass though.

As far as throwing ideas out there...

Medieval

3 Warriors (2 BS/Inv(WP) Scrappers, 1 Emp/Arch Defender)
2 Archers (Arch/TA Corruptors)
1 Commander (Shield/WM Tanker or Brute)
Summoner - could be a an actual wizard type, or use the commander and make the 'boss' pet the wizard instead.

So far this is my favorite idea. I want to be a Arch/TA Corr


When you mentioned Wizard it made me realize that people want an Elemental MM:

3 Pure Fire Elemental (Blaster or Corr or Dom or Controller or Scrapper) or 2 Fire and one Elec Elemental
2 Pure Ice Elemental (Blaster or Corr or Dom or Controller or Defender)
1 Pure Earth Elemental (Brute or Dom or Tanker)

I am a big fan of doing something with Archery, DP an Assault Rifle. I like those sets for the tier 9 that does not crash. We will be able to blow through missions

P.S. I should be in game tonight around 7-8 est I will send tells and we can meet in Pocket D and make plans. If we get to many players then I think we should do a Thug theme MM and ask some of them to make a Posse.

2 Longbow Spec Ops (Assault Rifle)


1 Logbow Warden (Super Strength)

I like it. I'll try to be around from 7-8 EST, but at 8 I'm heading out for some DDO with the folks over at Paragon Unleashed. I'll be around the forums all day for the most part.
