The knockback tax is really getting to me.
Like, real bad. I want to branch out to some characters but I know that many people hate knockback.
So I came up with the idea of an enhancement thats pretty much a stem-cell enhancement.
Now lets take Energy Blast with Thunderstrike and Artillery sets. And you want knockback to knockdown. Slotting Sudden Acceleration will make you miss out on the 6th bonus which is a huge amount of ranged defense.
Said stem-cell enhancement will have an inherent KB2KD but it will also become the last enhancement needed to complete the bonus and get the stats.
If positron can make fully functional synthetic alien blob enhancements, why cant someone make the pinnacle of bio-engineered inventions? does it even need a bio-engineered backstory? we have magic, we have alien tech, we have science
now because this is just an idea i wont get into super specific "what if to death" scenarios on ATOs, pvp sets, what happens if you use it as the 5th and not 6th enhancement, origin concepts.
but what i would like is to have this be cheap as fuck, like 5 merits max.
actually i just had an afterthought to have an almost free conversion to add KB2KD to any enhancement at a crafting table. Pulverizing Fisticuffs: acc/dmg(kb2kd), still fits the acc/dmg setpiece and such. and just like Boosted enhancements it will wipe off the kb2kd on market selling or mailing
