Judgement power for a brutish non-magical Troll woman?
I can't understand why a super strength theme judgement was not added when they fisrt came out.
I thinking have that as a judgement would be great. You could select between the ground punch animation that Marauder currently uses or the footstomp animation. That way...people can have their Judgement power be different than their "Footstomp" power from SS if they wanted. |

Yeeesss. As an Earth/Earth Dom I would love this so much. Something like an PBAOE Stone Spears, but with stone pillars, or larger rocks instead. That way Strong Guy characters can rationalize it as "punching the ground so hard rocks shot up" and Earth Controlly characters can rationalize it as..well...controlling earth.

Terrorize powers are generally linked to negative energy damage and negative energy attack typing in this game as the closest conceptual match.

I don't disagree with you. I actually agree completely. Just arguing semantics

I'd express it more in the reverse order - negative energy attacks typically come with terrorize and demoralize effects. I once ran through the "elements of CoH" and noticed that this is overwhelmingly what Dark powers tend to have - accuracy debuff, often fear.

I also only have 1 monitor (cause I'm poor) so tablet goes on top, keyboard and mouse go on little keyboard draw thingy in desk that slides out.
And the power cord just might not be visible like most of the other wire connectors on the back of the computer in that picture.
I'd sooner ask why he's holding the mouse like that as his fingers aren't placed to click anything.

Perhaps you could help me out and try to brainstorm what a man could be doing with a computer that required the left hand on a mouse, the right hand out of sight, and that doesn't require a keyboard.

It also occurs to me that I can get all the Incarnate component drops I want, if the game doesn't like me, it'll keep dumping Common and Uncommon reward tables on me, meaning I'll amass quite a few of those until I get enough Empyrean Merits to build a T3 Alpha for the level shift. So what to do with the other ones I keep getting? Eh, why not make a Judgement power?

You might want to consider skipping Judgement until after you get the level shift. I've done that on a number of characters. If the shift is my priority, I don't waste my salvage on 'non level shift' slots until after I get the level shifts.
|
My point is that component drop tables are not hard to come by. I can get two a day if I put my mind to it. And I can bet that most of those will be Common, so I'll end up with a glut of common components that I would have no use for in making a Rare, but would be very useful in putting SOMETHING in those other slots I'm unlocking even if these powers don't give a level shift. Right now, I'm about 10 Threads away from unlocking Interface, and I can get two thirds of a common power for it the day I unlock it, provided I'm not still collecting components for this confounded Void Judgement that y'all have convinced me I should have

Basically what I'm saying is it turns out Threads and Common Components aren't that hard to come by.

Judgement power for a brutish non-magical Troll woman? |
And I say all this with amazement and admiration. He never fails to surprise and delight me.

They all laughed at me when I said I wanted to be a comedian.
But I showed them, and nobody's laughing at me now!

Ah, hey there, NT. I was actually looking speak with you about this After much deliberation and going back-and-forth between Ionic and Void, I think I'll go with the idea we spoke about last time.
Neuronia was kind enough to come over and show me all of the Judgement powers in person, and as soon as I saw - and most importantly heard - Void in action, I knew it wouldn't work. A suggestion was made that I use this as a sort of demoralising battle cry, and from what I saw in the editor, it seemed to work. Thing is, the editor doesn't have sound and the camera is WAAAY too close to see pretty much any of the Judgement powers well. When I saw it in person, I realised it consists of a gassy explosion, then a slowly-swirling black hole which sucks those gasses back in. I could sell this as a battlecry, but it's just too elaborate and too gassy to do so. And the sound of the power just doesn't cut it. It's a low, rumbling thump followed by the sound of howling wind. It's obvious to me that this power is not a battlecry, and I decided to err on the side of game consistency and went with Ionic.
With Ionic, I really don't have to pretend what I'm seeing is something other than what's happening on the screen. I coloured it bright, in yellow and white, so now it looks like divine lighting, and I'm selling it like exactly what it is - lightning from the sky that Xanta catches and redirects. I can pretend she does this with her sword, He-Man style, but that's not as important. What matters is this is the easiest of them all to sell as being dangerous, since Xanta has to be struck by lightning to use it, it looks the most "divine" which is important in this case, and it's just plain cool, whereas I can't say the same about Void.
I've decided that I'll go with different elements for every Incarnate power when it comes to visuals, so it looks like Xanta is sort of this wandering adventurer collecting bits and pieces of spells from here and there and amassing a grab bag of tricks. So her sword can set things on fire via the Reactive Interface, her gloves can redirect lightning and eventually her shoulders will be able to cast energy shields. What mattered to me was that the magic doesn't come off as one large, multi-use item that anyone else could use if they wore rubber boots, but rather a collection of smaller magical items with a variety of crippling dangers that only she can use as a package. What mattered was these were just a supplement to the core characteristic of my giant green warrior woman, which is that she's very big, very strong and VERY hard to hurt.

What I find funny is, you essentially go through 4 pages just to come to the conclusion of "She's using magic"...
But then I can be pretty cynical about these things.
I still think it would have been more interesting to explore the magic-smith character to broaden the main character's story.

There's no reason I can't do both. I simply don't want to tie that into the source of Xanta's powers. I don't want them to be the source of her abilities just because I prefer to see her as an independent, unaffiliated fighter who has friends, but not necessarily a pit crew. I am, as a point of fact, in the process of transferring those mystic smithing skills over to her so she can make her own armour, with Jonah serving as a sort of old mentor, rather than an active weapon-maker. Hell, I might even make him into his own hero one of these days, so again - there's no reason to not explore his story. I just don't want to use it as a large chunk of the backstory for another character.

To the OP, I'd go with Vorpal. It supposed to be VERY FAST teleport type power, but you can easily rationalize that "with such brute strength, she's able to kick/swing at the air so hard, it sends a wave of force at her enemies!" At least...that's what I would do. Only drawback here is Vorpal's SFX, barely sounds like anything IMO. "shrugs"

- To Each His Own
So what about the Negative Energy damage? Meh, I figure this isn't a physical attack, so a shout doing some kind of dark energy? Sure, why not? I even find a much better colouring scheme now that I'm not trying to depict physical force, which is essentially red and black. And I like the idea... Dang, guess I'm making another one. All'a y'all who suggested Void can feel vindicated now
