Blaster Epic Idea - Grenade Mastery

[gromartwo]

I have always avoided Munitions Mastery because many of its powers use weapons. Body Armor is appealing because it is an auto power but the hold, etc, use weapons and don't fit most of my character themes. After having a character being "saved" in a mission by having lots of temporary power and day job grenades I began thinking of a cool blaster epic.

Grenade Mastery is essentially a clone of Munitions Mastery using different powers with similar effects. Good animations can be found on temporary powers, day job powers, and groups like the Destroyers and Scrapyarders.

---
Powers:

 

Microfiber Armour: 35     Auto: Self +Res(Smash, Lethal)

"You have damage resistant fibers integrated into your costume."

(Alternative ideas: A Tough Hide clone or an absorb power)
---
Gas Grenade -35  Ranged single target hold.
Sleep Grenade -41 Ranged Targeted AOE sleep
----
Surveillance     41     Ranged, Foe -Res(All), -DEF(All)
Frag Grenade - 44  Ranged Targeted AOE Ranged Moderate DMG(Lethal, Smashing), Foe Knockback
-----
Seeker Drones (from the Traps powerset) could be used as an alternative to Surveilance and may work with the techy explosive theme a bit more.

 

So what do you think?

I like it. Demolitions Mastery or Grenadier.

I would make all the grenades AoE's though. not ST like your gas idea. or one could be a cone like a claymore mine that you can control detonation 😃

Incidentally, have you tried an SoA? I think you'd like it. the toxic, frag and web grenades fire from the gun. 😃
