Troll Update
It always seemed odd to me that thew Ogres have Stone Armor and Stone Melee powers. It doesn't really suit them, or fit with the Superadyne theme.
I suggest giving Ogres Super Strength attacks like all other Trolls, but instead of Invulnerability like the Calibans have, give the Ogres Willpower. |
It is better to ask forgiveness than permission.
This thread turned out to be a lot less funnier than I thought it would be.
Indeed.

Well, lore wise, the reason for trolls gaining stone powers is because Superdine enhances or brings out latent powers, if I recall right.
This is actually represented in game, sort of, when you're in a superdyne lab by getting a recovery buff from a nearby lab set. (Remember kids, drugs are perfectly okay if you can kick tanks in half!)
so it's more just a bizarre coincidence that apparently, that all trolls' latent powers happen to be SS/invul, or Stone/Stone.

'dyne also gives space/time manipulation powers. Thus why Consiglieres have Gravity Control.
Rather than lose the Stone/Stone Ogres, I'd rather see Trolls get a new LT type alongside Jutals/Gardvords that use stone attacks.

Indeed, adding more lieutenants that use Stone would be a good solution to preparing players for the bosses using Stone powers. Personally, though, I wish they'd scrap the Ogre bosses in general and just use Supatrolls, instead. Saves the need for Stone Melee altogether.
Samuel_Tow is the only poster that makes me want to punch him in the head more often when I'm agreeing with him than when I'm disagreeing with him.
