  1. Now I'm thinking......what if I put the invention crafting table inside a stove? It could be like I'm brewing up science in the kitchen.
  2. Some ideas to differentiate Ki/Chi Mastery from Energy Mastery: 1. Instead of Focused Accuracy of energy mastery, Ki Mastery could us Aim for a short spike of +ToHit and +Dmg or maybe instead the energy manipulation power of Power Boost that greatly boosts the secondary effects of your powers. It would make your stuns more stunning, you KBs more knockbacky, and so on as you focus your ki into the strike for more power even if there isn't more damage or accuracy. 2. Ditch the Laser Beam Eyes and Energy Torrent attacks and replace with more martial themed animation attacks like maybe kinetic melee's Focused Burst animation with a different kind of energy output effect instead of Laser Beam Eyes, and same for Repulsing Torrent in place of regular Torrent. 3. Skip the Conserve Power/Superior Conditioning endurance mod power and give the set a tier 1 mez power, like most of the melee ancillaries have... I would recommend a fear effect to keep with the martial arts master theme. 4. Go with something similar to Physical Perfection but different....Psionic Mastery has Harmonic Mind that gives you +Recovery and +End Discount instead of +Regen and +Recovery. Maybe borrow its +End Discount and add a +MaxHP and call it something like Peak Performance.
  3. And it needs volume control so that we can make people listen to it. Seriously, though, multiple boomboxes spawned in one area could become an annoyance, so maybe make it a recharge power instead of a toggle. And the boombox despawns if the person who summoned it moves more than 10 or 20 feet away (because someone swiped it when you weren't looking) and/or if another boombox gets summoned in close proximity like how Ouro portals will despawn existing portals if set too close. Don't know why they did that to the O-portals; I can remember when people would stack the hell out of them for beach parties like it was a bonfire. The longer spawn time (was it 5 mins?) kept the fire going and people could "throw another log on it" every so often. Now you can drop one and if someone comes along and places another right by it, the one you dropped immediately goes away. Do that with boomboxes so that noise doesn't get out of control. Additional thought: have all the music that can be played on it put into a universal playlist that affects all boomboxes in play regardless of zone. So if you drop your boombox in Atlas Park, it kicks in with whatever song is playing in everywhere else, then changes to the next tune as the play list progresses.
  4. Let the woman talk, damn it. Don't rush her, and when she's ready to fight then she can do her thing.
  5. Soothing Stream should be the typical self-only buff of +Regen and +Recovery that many other blaster sets have in the middle of the set. Tier 1 should definitely be a mobility affecting set. Since there are plenty of immobilize powers already in the Manipulation sets, I'd suggest something like Ki Push and Electrified Net Arrow as Tidal Push power that has a primary repel effect and -SPD, -Fly, -Jump secondary effects as the water pushing on the target hinders their movements. Other changes, too.
  6. I like Lady Jane as the belligerent rush-into-danger type of NPC. Go get 'em L.J.!
  7. This could cause problems for people who want ear options with those pieces, such as earmuffs to cover regular ears exposed by shorter hairstyles while animal ears on top of the head are selected. Maybe not move those options from Detail 1 to Ears but copy them instead. That way you could have Detail 1->Sunglasses and Ears->Earmuffs or Detail 1->Earmuffs and Ears->Bunny.
  8. Thematically, "Traps" suggests putting down objects that you lure your enemies to so that harm befalls them. Force Field isn't a trap, it's a mobile protection device for yourself. The gun turret of Devices is a mobile weapons platform for a blaster, and if you turned mortar into something similar you lose the feel of a support set and turn it into even more of an offensive damage set... or to offset the increased mobility you lose something in other powers of the set to offset the increased utility, which I'm going to guess would be the high damage from the bombs. I'll pass on changing traps, but I will suggest perhaps a Traps-style Assault set for dominators and/or Manipulation set for blasters. Yes, I know blasters already get Devices, but I could see a similar but different set with some powers inspired by the traps set, including a mobile acid mortar, and the explosives.....perhaps instead of a force field generator have one of those targeting drones circling around and granting the user increased +Regen and +Recovery like a mobile med-bot. Manipulation also typically has some melee powers, so maybe use the basic knife stabby-stabby power to replace one or two things. Likewise on ditching force field for Assault Traps, maybe grant the drones more explosive potential for ranged attacks, etc etc
  9. the rule of cool can be subjective
  10. Getting sleep does not always prevent that condition in myself. I'm at that age where I wake up tired, do a little bit, then need to take a nap to refresh.
  11. That's not much different than saying "people who would never make it as a know-it-all subjecting you to their their take on "facts." In other words: welcome to the internet, this is what it's all about
  12. That, sir, is a naginata, not a spear at all. And the idea is to have more options, not trying to fit ideas into the options we have. Do you have something against more options?
  13. And he's the fastest man alive, hence his trouble getting a date.
  14. It's always in season
  15. Also: mentor, deplore, front door, hot war, ground floor, and restore.
  16. I'm off to start my "why-i-want-the-ability-to-abhor-entire-topic" post.
  17. Superpowered freaks defy fate by laughing in the face of whatever random thing they're handed. If it's good, roll with it. If bad you just push through and overcome.
  18. Very showy.....like ready for a 3 ring circus showy Girls with guns fetish activated That's actually a cool concept. Kind of like an Emma Frost without the diamond form but still ready to throw down with mind or muscle Hooker says what? What face is that?
  19. That's badass. Way better than my cyberpunk ninja sentinel.
  20. That's weird. You're weird. I mean that in the best possible way, mind you.
  21. I'd also love to see the spear that the Cimerorans throw added as a staff fighting weapon. Yes, it has a pointy end. I've seen people on TV (mostly the Hercules & Xena shows) pick up and use a spear like a staff to make the fighting a little more family friendly than poking the bad guys with the pointy end. It's theatrical and heroic, and perfect for comic book style heroes.
  22. As I've pointed out on a different thread regarding addition of weapons, we have plenty of weapon options already in place that don't exactly match up to the damage type of the weapon, the biggest offender of which is Titan Weapons, which features a number of slashing weapons despite the set only dealing blunt damage. I think too many people get hung up on the damage type must match the appearance of the weapon, which really cuts into the creativity and fun of other players.
