uh it does I made sure it had both Daggermaw and Soldier. To boost up adamants strengths

I have never heard of Double Cross, but if Exiles can shape change and punch people good, then yes!
Weird, the vote tally isn't showing me that it has Soldier X. My bad then. Seems like our plans are identical save for the formatting which makes them count as two separate votes.
One of us is going to need to vote for the other, but I like my plan name so I'd like to ask if you'd be willing to edit your Frontliner vote to Sucker Punch? I'd be fine with the other way around, though the fact that Frontliner has Adamant first before Outsider does bug me.

Long story short, Double Cross is a Japanese table top RPG with superheroics in it, and Exile is one of the classes you can take (interestingly, dual-classing is the default). It's the 'soft' shapeshifter class compared to it's cousin Chimera's 'hard'. Chimeras turn into werewolves or dragons and punch the shit out of things, Exiles turn their bones into swords, dodge attacks by turning into a blob of flesh, literally pull off chunks of themselves and put them into an ally's wound to heal them, things like that.
hmm yeh it works enough for what we want with Rhys. A shapefshiter with enough sub powers to punch good.

You have unlocked the mission: Eat The Rich
No mission's, but a general scavenger hunt. Challenge accepted
which is frankly shocking to me. I guess Nora had less clout than I thought. I suppose that's the price of being a third eyed woman in a world of the blind
So Nora's video(part 1)is very dense.
I straight up have no ding dang clue what to think about the voices. The melty Duo seems connected so hopefully we'll learn about them together. Well, I hope that, everyone else will be like "Holy shit, two elder gods at the same time!!!"
EXCEED BEYOND sounds wicked. Idk why metahumans can't pilot it, but that just means we have an excuse to splice one
"But Dr Ibis hasn't made a creature smarter than a 4 year old!" Maybe, but I'm willfully deluding myself into thinking he's never used human dna for ethical reasons/preserving his memory of being a father. So really from my perspective it's foolproof!
The R-Train...I *think* mona can handle it? She must've astral projected when the got her powers, so I'm assuming her side effect is psychic sensitivity(for good and ill). If I'm wrong then that means we get to recruit psychics. win-win!
The contingency sounds like it can think? Maybe that's Valiant Silver's first true AI. Speaking of, I like the part where leizi called Nora that. Very subtle
Haters will call her an echidna ripoff, but any true man of culture knows her real inspiration

That is absolutely metal as hell.
I think Rhys would need Construct Creation to use chunks of himself to heal others by replacing functional tissue with his own (The best he can probably do is glorified torniquets to stop people from bleeding), but this does make me think Rhys could have a ranged weapon ready at all times. Probably not a traditional gun since I don't think he'll be able to make gunpowder or propellants with his power set, but something mechanical powered like a crossbow, or a pneumatic gun since that only needs air pressure to work.
It would mean he's literally shooting chunks of himself as bullets at people, but Back Swan already does that with her finger guns since her human form is made out of energy. It's kind of our thing at this point.

I don't have a proper PDF of a book, but i do have two reviews courtesy of some Something Awful guys, one a bit more heavy on sharing lore and one more mechanics-focused. I'll DM you links since you're curious.

I was looking back at this, and I noted this. This is Rakeem's mission, if you're missing the context, and I think this might remind people that a Really Tough Person would be nice to have to help this.
Mona already works for that. She has invisibility and can just blast things

Just after the update, I was gonna make a post about my thoughts either high espionage or practically unkillable, the latter of which I had in mind since we really need goldnine. But then I remembered Mona's power and deleted the whole thing

I'm no longer dying from the weather so while I'm still here, I decided to look at the other leading plans and compare them with the Sucker Punch build to get an idea of the pros and cons and which fulfills our goal of "Sneaky Face Puncher" better.
Plan: Sir Suffering (Revised)
Plan: Bulletproof, Might Right Edition
Plan: Monster! Mash! Best Match!
Plan: Sir Suffering (Revised)
- Potency 5 (Deadman) + Potency 3 (Adamant) + Potency 1 (Daggermaw) - Potency 3 = Potency 6
- 2x Regeneration (Deadman, Adamant)
- 2x Transformation (Adamant, Daggermaw)
- 2x Enhanced Strength (Adamant, Daggermaw)
- 1x Elemental Manipulation (Deadman)
- 1x Enhanced Senses (Daggermaw)
- Side Effect Chance:
- Major Side Effect: N/A
- Moderate Side Effect: N/A
- Minor Side Effect: 99-25
- No Side Effect: 24-1
- Pros: Sir Suffering is really, really hard to kill. We're talking about a guy who when enough trauma is applied to his body, can come back from a puddle of liquid metal to reform his body. Unless someone can vaporize every single piece of regenerating metal liquid, there's no way to put him down, and even then he can probably just come back from nothing like Deadman. The only way to kill Sir Suffering is to dump him in Goldnine, and that speaks volumes of how tough he is as he breaks every bone in your body with superstrength.
- Cons: In all matters outside survivability, I believe Sucker Punch has the upper hand. Utility wise, Sucker Punch's shape changing means Rhys can have a tool for every situation. In matters of offense, while they both have enhanced strength, I believe Sucker Punch's ability to create weapons out of their own body lends it the advantage when it comes to face punching and/or stabbing. When it comes to espionage meanwhile, I believe Sucker Punch's ability to assume a different face and identity, fake your own death, and tool creation, makes it much easier infiltrate enemy bases. Coming back from the dead is good too, since you can just try again, but that means the enemy already knows to look out for you and would be on alert for someone that looks like Sir Suffering.
Plan: Bulletproof, Might Right Edition
- Potency 3 (Adamant) + Potency 2 (Steadfast) + Potency 1 (Daggermaw) + Potency 1 (Soldier X) - Potency 1 = Potency 6
- 2x Transformation (Adamant, Daggermaw)
- 2x Enhanced Strength (Adamant, Daggermaw)
- 2x Regeneration (Adamant, Soldier X)
- 1x Enhanced Senses (Daggermaw)
- 1x Invulnerability (Steadfast)
- 1x Fitness (Soldier X)
- Side Effect Chance:
- Major Side Effect: N/A
- Moderate Side Effect: N/A
- Minor Side Effect: 99-35
- No Side Effect: 34-1
- Pros: Bulletproof gives us the lowest chance of a side-effect by only lowering dosage by 1. We're essentially making Adamant 2.0 here since it has all of Adamant's powers with added potency.
- Cons: Bulletproof is a good bruiser, but I believe it doesn't utilize Rhys' potential fully. Since we're already in the range of only getting Minor Side Effects, I don't really see the point of not grabbing 2 more Potency to scale Rhy's powers and stats as high as possible. Bulletproof fulfills our mandate of a face puncher very well since it has enhanced strength, regeneration, AND invincibility, but it doesn't give Rhys much in terms of sneaking about, and even his face punching capabilities can still be improved at little cost to us.
Plan: Monster! Mash! Best Match!
- Potency 6 (The Red Huntress) + Potency 2 (Crimson Soprano) + Potency 1 (Daggermaw) - Potency 3 = Potency 6
- 2x Transformation (Red Huntress, Daggermaw)
- 2x Energy Manipulation (Red Huntress, Crimson Soprano)
- 2x Enhanced Senses (Red Huntress, Daggermaw)
- 1x Enhanced Strength (Daggermaw)
- 1x Fitness (Red Huntress)
- 1x Speed (Red Huntress)
- 1x Invisibility (Red Huntress)
- 1x Clairvoyance (Red Huntress)
- 1x Flight (Crimson Soprano)
- 1x Solar Absorption (Crimson Soprano)
- Side Effect Chance:
- Major Side Effect: N/A
- Moderate Side Effect: N/A
- Minor Side Effect: 99-25
- No Side Effect: 24-1
- Monster Mash runs into the same trouble as most Red Huntress builds. She has a huge list of powers that synergize well together, but since we can't grab all of them due to RNG, we run the risk of making a weaker Red Huntress overall. Face Punching wise, the ability to Transform and have Energy Claws is pretty good, especially when paired with Enhanced Senses to strike at weak spots and avoid surprises, but Monster Mash can't take much punishment which is deadly for a frontliner. It also doesn't offer much to Rhys in terms of spying, unless we get lucky and get either Clairvoyance or Invisibility, but that leaves us to the mercy of RNG.

I feel like this all forgets that Rhys, with his bonus we saw, will be sitting at 6, just 2 behind Leizi, whose Espionage is all from natural intelligence and connections, not her powers. He's equal to Maddie, who's powers are almost assuredly contributing a good chunk of that, even if "14 year old girl who can apply puppy dog eyes" is also part of it.
He'll almost certainly have training actions he can take to boost it by 1 every so often. We do that first thing, he's at 7, right behind Leizi.

That just means if we lucky we can get an espionage 8 or 9 while still being a strong bruiser. Considering the best thing about Prometheus is literally being able to build powerset that works well for what we need and skills our new Hero has. Ignoring Rhys his espionage is kinda silly.
Also dont forget we need to keep Prometheus hidden as long as possible so high espionage until the secret is out is actually realy Vital.

Would having someone with a teleportation ability that can take other with them, and thus, cut down on travel time help?

[X] Plan: Sucker Punch
I'm excited to see what a transformation focused hero with The Outsider's profile can do. I think we might get someone really versatile.
...
On that note, I'd recommend people to not use
-[] [NAME] (Potency 1)
As a format in future Ambrosia votes. The vote tally sees the stuff in the brackets as a category designation. Such as what you'd maybe use for a vote like this:
[] [FURNITURE] Table
[] [FURNITURE] Chair
[] [FURNITURE] Couch
The reason this is a problem, is that the vote tally reads everyone's votes as only the bit after the brackets. To the vote tally, we're voting like this:
[] Plan: Planname
-[] Potency 4
-[] Potency 3
-[] Potency 1
-[] Potency 1
And if the vote tally sees what it thinks are identical lines, it groups them together as one vote. So if you have the following as part of your plan vote:
-[] [Daggermaw] (Potency 1)
-[] [Soldier X] (Potency 1)
In the vote tally, it's going to eat the second line and not display it. (This is probably a longstanding bug, but if so, it's not getting fixed anytime soon.) /esotericvotetallylore

The first word of a Plan vote has to be "Plan" for the vote tally to recognize it as a Plan vote. That means anyone voting for "Plan X" automatically gets their vote counted as voting for the full Plan. Otherwise, you have to manually merge votes.
