[Duplication - A Mastermind Primary]

So! now that Phantom Army has had an interesting update in the test client, allowing you to create 'mirrors' of yourself, I figured that new development has opened the doors to new possibilities! this combined with the 'shadow image' as seen in many animations for Dual Pistols and the Incarnate Vorpal attack means we could potentially make attack powers to support it, creating one of these shadow images with a basic attack animation.

 

I had this idea for a powerset for a while, but was unsure if it could even be done with the technological restrictions we have, but now it seems a little more possible! So, here's what I had for a Mastermind Primary called 'Duplication'

 

Duplication

You possess the ability to create duplicates of yourself. Duplicates exist as a near exact mirror copy of yourself, and as such possess very few abilities all of their own, but have the potential to overwhelm your foes with an array of surprise attacks. Their ability to think and act as a sort of 'hive mind' comes with a number of benefits that set them apart from your average henchmen, allowing them a greater means of defense when close to one another, and possessing an inherent resistance to mind-altering affects.

 

 - Flanking Strike: Ranged, Moderate Damage (Smashing), Foe -Def

You create a temporary copy nearby a foe that strikes them with their fist before disappearing into nothing. The unexpected strike reduces their defense.

 

 - Create Simulacrums: Summons up to three Simulacrums

Summon up to three Simalacrums. Simalacrums are basic duplicates that possess little power of their own, able to use similar means of attack as the Mastermind. You can only have three Simalacrums under your control at any given time, if you attempt to create more Simalacrums, you can only replace the ones you have lost in battle. If you already have three, the power will fail.

Tier 1 Powers: Brawl, Flanking Strike, Unity (+Def nearby other Pets, +Res Psionics, Taunt, Placate, Confuse, Perception Debuff)

Tier 2 Powers: Boxing, Ambushing Blow

Tier 3 Powers: Kick, Surprise Attack

 

 - Ambushing Blow: Ranged, High Damage (Smashing), Foe -Def

You create a temporary copy nearby a foe that delivers a heavy and unexpected blow, reducing their defense.

 

 - Improve Duplicates: Ranged, Improve Duplicates

You hone the image of your duplicates and imbue them with additional power. This bestows new powers and abilities upon your duplicates. The powers gained are unique and dependent on the duplicate you improve. This power only works on your duplicates, and you can only improve a duplicate once with this power.

 

 - Surprise Attack: Cone, Moderate Damage (Smashing), Foe -Def

You create several temporary copies by your side that charge the enemy, the sudden appearance of these copies throws off your foes defense.

 

 - Create Clones: Summons up to two Clones

Summon up to two Clones. Clones are near exact copies of the Mastermind, and possess an aptitude for duplicity, often catching foes unaware and confusing their location. When upgraded, these Clones can even conceal themselves and deliver critical hits from stealth, and make use one of your initial secondary powers. You can only have two Duplicates under your control at any given time, if you attempt to create more Duplicates, you can only replace the ones you have lost in battle. If you already have two, the power will fail.

Tier 1 Powers: Initial Strike, Flanking Strike, Unity (+Def nearby other Pets, +Res Psionics, Taunt, Placate, Confuse, Perception Debuff)

Tier 2 Powers: Heavy Blow, Ambushing Blow, Placate

Tier 3 Powers: Surprise Attack, Hide, Power 1 from Secondary Powerset (higher Recharge/End cost)

 

 - Outnumber: Summons up to 10 Mimicries

You create a number of Mimicries. These Mimicries cannot be commanded like normal henchmen, nor will they appear in your pet window. you must select an enemy target to attack before activating Outnumber. The Mimicries are plentiful, but they are also weak, and are incapable of further copying themselves. Because of this, Mimicries can only use their fists to overwhelm your foe.

Powers: Brawl, Boxing, Kick or Initial Strike

 

 - Create Perfect Copy: Summon one Perfect Copy

Summons one powerful Perfect Copy. The Perfect Copy is completely identical to you, and can mimic many of your secondary powers. In addition, it aids in coordinating your other duplicates as if it were a mastermind itself, giving a boost to your inherent 'Supremacy' power. You can only have one Perfect Copy under your control at any given time, if you attempt to create more Perfect copies, you can only replace one you have lost in battle. If you already have one, the power will fail.

Tier 1 Powers: Flanking Strike, Power 1 from Secondary Powerset (higher Recharge/End cost), Unity (+Def nearby other Pets, +Res Psionics, Taunt, Placate, Confuse, Perception Debuff)

Tier 2 Powers: Ambushing Blow, Power 2/3 from Secondary Powerset (higher Recharge/End cost)

Tier 3 Powers: Surprise Attack, Power 3/4/5 from Secondary Powerset (higher Recharge/End cost)

 

 - Uncanny Image: Ranged, Improve Duplicates

You futher improve the image of your duplicates and imbue them with greater power. This bestows new powers and abilities upon your duplicates. The powers gained are unique and dependent on the duplicate you improve. This power only works on your duplicates, and you can only improve a duplicate once with this power.

OMG I LOVE THIS!!!!

The fantasy kinda falls apart when your Phantom Army starts firing their Blaster powers and pulling out ice swords. It's okay to ask for powersets that don't map cleanly to existing sets, but still cover very common themes in superhero fiction.

Yeah, that would kill it hard for me if i was able to even get that to point.

With just one power that will take a little bit to get, and honestly doesn't feel very accurate to what I think would be cool.

[Clones?]

So, I have always been a fan of the whole 'clone' or 'multiplying' power of oneself.  Multi-Man, DupliKate, Ditto/Echo from Ben 10.  And was thinking it could be an interesting MM build, having all the pets just be your character!  Not sure what the other side of it could be cause personally only see them as doing melee things, but still thing it could be an interesting concept!
 

Either way, thanks for the time!  Just wanted to get this out there as a thought and as something I would love to see!

[Base Building Loan]

Oh, I'm not very serious about this.  Was joking with a friend on discord about bank loans for base building and thought it would be hilarious to post.

[Base Building Loan]

Hello, I'm Enterphase.  I suck at Basebuilding and would like to hire someone to build a base for me!  
I am applying for a 2billion Influence loan so that I could find the right contractor and decorator to help bring this base to life.  
I have okay credit and an make payments ever month on the loan and am willing to do a 20% interest charge.  
Please, consider me for the personal banking loan!  

:p

Good point.  Stabbing wastes blood.  A large amount of repeated blunt force trauma is much more heroic.

Just saying that some people might like their 'Nightwing' or 'Daredevil' like hero.

[Prob already requested]

Hey, I was thinking some blunt weapons in the dual weapons area would be nice.  Like Tonfas or Sticks (Nightwing thing).  Would be cool if you are making a character who doesn't want to cause serious injury by stabbing people. 

[Pet request]

So, I may have a character that has a pet pig due to his back ground.  And would love some pigs and other animals in the game as pets!  Non combat ones I mean.  Don't need no farm pet build lol. 

[Shield weapon option.]

So, after getting on my shield character I thought "It would be cool if the back option was here like with weapons!".  So thought I would bring that up, if at all a possibility due to customization being much bigger with shields.  Just would love to see my character have the shield on his back, then pull it off when getting into the fight!  

[Shirts]

So, was looking at the 'dress shirt' thing today and noticed it is just one simple thing.  And I thought to myself "Hawaiian style shirts would be so cool in this category"  so just thought I would leave that here as it is. 

I can understand this not being a top priority for anyone, I just love the colorful shirts with flower, coconut, fish, musical patterns and all.  Thought it would be worth bringing up.
