My dream of a TMNT homage super team has been forever hindered because of the lack of a nunchuck melee set.  I had a suggestion a while back about the idea, and I thought I might try and flesh it out a bit more.

 

Name/description

Quick Strike - melee, light smashing, +rech self

Nunchuck Barrage - melee, moderate smashing, 2 hits

Flail - melee, high smashing, chance to confuse

Build Up replacement - melee, moderate smashing +tohit +dmg +rech

Figure 8 - cone, moderate smashing

Throw nunchuck - Range, moderate smashing forced redraw

No Name - pbaoe, moderate smashing

Onslaught - toggle on target and auto follow target looping

animation melee attack, light-high damage

increasing, endurace cost increases the higher

the damage goes

 

I'm not married to any of the names or powers so it won't hurt my feelings on any offered changes.  What I am looing at now is any animations in game that gould be used for nunchuck powers.  I think the throw nunchuck could use the shurkin animation or the freakshow throwing the sawblade animation (are they the same one?).  I was thinking for Flail to have an overhand smashing animation and could use heavy blow from street justice.  Not sure on any of the others

While it could be cool, animating the nunchucks would be a massive pain I imagine, and I'm unsure if they can actually add new animations atm.

 

Still, if it could be done, all for it.

Have to keep the "no name" name. *nods*

 

Not sure I'd use it - don't think I've ever had a concept for this - but I wouldn't argue with the set being there for people to use.

I wouldn't mind being able to make a Scrapper Bruce Lee homage.

That can be done without nunchucks...

Thoughts on a t9 ... that is I don't see 9 powers only 8 listed?

 

Brainstorming thoughts:  what about a +defense parry-like power (Whirling Barrier)?  And perhaps Onslaught might work better as a 'combo type mechanic' or a short heavy dot

I left out taunt/confront/placate

Was just thinking about this again.  Still something that I would like...
