What about giving it some of the same HP scaling resist that SR gets? In comics Wolverine tends to get tougher and more determined the more damage he takes.

I never really got the chance to do more than dip my toe in the Praetorian stuff when the game was live, but now that it’s back I want to actually run through the story arcs. What are some highlights/must-see contacts or arcs? What’s a more interesting path to take? I’m naturally leaning more towards Resistance, but is Loyalist maybe worth a second look?

Other ideas: Instead of Aim, they have a copy of combat training: offensive named Marksmanship. A flashbomb aoe power that stuns and has a chance for -to hit, but no damage. An immobilize that throws a bola. The T9 power could be a massive PBAOE that launches a barrage of shurikens around the player. A poison dart power that slows and applies -recharge and -recovery, with a chance for sleep.

Between the powers from the weapon mastery ancillary set and martial assault for dominators, there are Nearly enough powers to put together a shuriken throwing ranged set that could be made available for blasters, defenders, and sentinels. Maybe to give the set some extra flavor a typed damage/side effect gimmick similar to what dual pistols uses. Maybe you could choose between a defense DeBuff or toxic DOT for example. Extra points if we could get graphics to use boomerangs as well. This would add the option to have a natural ranged character, and is definitely an existing character trope in comics with characters like Captain Boomerang, Bullseye, the Death Throws, etc.

Could you build a Night Widow to only use the claw/dart powers and avoid any of the overtly Psionic powers to build a “natural” assassin type character? Would this be tenable or too gimped?

My only quibble with using dark melee is that beyond the first 3 powers or so it starts getting pretty overtly “supernatural” looking (midnight grasp especially). Would street justice maybe work for the two fisted mystery man concept? It’d definitely be my choice if I were making Wildcat for example. I picked MA with the punchy animations mostly for the stuns which are kinda like being blinded. Shame that smoke grenade isn’t available in an ancillary pool though.

I’m trying to build up a character based on Dr. Mid-Nite from the JSA. I’m looking at a scrapper with MA/ninjutsu, taking the fighting toggles and some of the medicine powers, and debating leadership/CJ. Blinding powder is definitely an important part of the theme here. Any recommendations to realize this character? Also, would a stalker be a better version of the concept?
