biostem Posted Wednesday at 07:55 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 07:55 PM (edited) I'm not sure of what name would suit this hypothetical power pool best, but the gist is that you are able to make use of some basic survival skills when fighting your opponents. 1. Knife - basic melee attack dealing lethal damage, with an additional minor lethal DoT. 2. Machete - a heaver melee attack, dealing lethal damage in a small cone in front of you. 3. Pilum - you throw a short spear, dealing ranged lethal damage. 4. Thick Skin - toggle granting some absorb. 5. Robust Constitution - auto power, granting resist to cold, toxic, and debuff/control effects. Edited Wednesday at 08:22 PM by biostem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudra Posted Wednesday at 09:04 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 09:04 PM Change Machete to Gladius and you can call it the Roman Soldier set. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a bad idea, but I was hoping you'd be able to use some of the sword/knife models to allow for some customization... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major_Decoy Posted Thursday at 01:01 AM Share Posted Thursday at 01:01 AM Machete, Tough Skin, and Robust Constitution are all helpful in field combat, but I think that a hoe, sickle, shovel, or plow would be a lot more helpful than a knife and pilum.

Well, I wanted to utilize existing attacks that fit the theme and aren't present elsewhere. In the context of this set, "field" means more like being "out in the field" in a combat sense, not necessarily a farm field... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't stop customization; it just makes the default power appearance linked thematically. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biostem Posted Friday at 09:05 PM Author Share Posted Friday at 09:05 PM Obviously the knife was really developed from the sharpened spoon, as a more humane way of gouging out eyeballs... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
