Project Prometheus (Original Setting Superhero Quest)

Were there any rolls? Kinda missed disscussion and everything basically, but I can only hope for good things.

Now that our guys and gals are gonna be on television, we're gonna fight against Crusade by not giving them the time of day and just be as honest as open as possible (without blowing up covers or revealing classified information) and show that the new gen can be trusted.

Also, fuck mutant child kidnappers.

I too hope for good things, put it like that.
 
Speaking of mutant child kidnappers, I was rereading the sidestories, and...

"Never."

"You'll find that never is now, Yelena. I did not build Wonderland for you to lock children away. If you don't like it, you may maintain it without me."

...Steelheart either had a gigantic change of heart at some point, or someone or something really twisted his arm. Hmm. I'm not sure which is more likely.

So, we've already combined Elemental Manipulation/Energy Manipulation, and that gave us Fundamental Forces.

This is a... moderately dumb theory, but I do want to try it out at some point.

What if we mixed the other Manipulations? Mental/Elemental, Mental/Energy, or all three at once? do you think that could result in something?

Mental/Elemental: I'm gonna keep it real, this one doesn't feel like it gets us anything.
Mental/Energy: Combine with Clairvoyance for [Telepathy]?
Mental/Energy/Elemental: Some sort of Avatar? Multiple elements?

Hmm honestly In my opinion adding mental words to elemental/energy/Fundamental forces may just... help with control? No idea if would affect the power perse but maybe it would help with the control/multitasking of it. For exanple fire manipulation + mental key words = A much easier fire controler. Maybe they can manipulate the form and temp easier or make a half decent attempt at a elemental construct just by having such a precise control of their element manip.
But thats just me.

...you know, actually, that gives me an idea.

What if Mental Manipulation combines with Construct Creation to create Autonomous Construct Creation?

I wouldn't be surprised if its a third tag but I would expect Energy Manipulation to be a 2nd tag for the synergy just due to being the thing the constructs would draw from, alongside it being one of the most common pairings with Construct Creation in what we have so far.

Or Elemental Manipulation, I'm dead certain that Earthen Owl and Ete's versions were based in Elemental Manipulation to begin with, being made of plants and fire, respectively.

Technically, but it was support only. Seraph can screen people and read enemy thoughts, which Chatroom couldn't do, given that her power was opt-in and consensual.

I'm hoping that Double Clairvoyance/Double Mental Manipulation/Ally Empowerment would be a Telepath.

Fair enough. I'm just a bit sceptical about the [Telepath] keyword since Chatroom probably would have gotten it if it had been there.
 
Talking about mental support, I wanted to suggest the following build (if someone already posted it and I missed it, please let me know):
  • iSpy 4
  • Chatroom 4
  • Wild Speaker 3
  • Eastwood 2
  • Potency Reduction 3
  • Total potency: 10
Keywords: Clairvoyance x2, Mental Manipulation x2, Ally Empowerment x2, Invisibility, Construct Creation.

I could've substituted iSpy with Hunch and gotten three more potency points to spend on more keywords. However, then two sources of clairvoyance would be Chatroom and Hunch, whose abilities were limited by range. I suspect that would be reflected in the characters' power sets and require them to be near the battlefield to provide aid. This sounds less than ideal, given that BS, the hero in most need of mental support, might be fighting in space.

Therefore, I suggest using iSpy in the build to relax or remove completely distance-based restrictions. I think its "tagging" mechanic will synchronise well with Wild Speaker and Eastwood, who did not seem to have effects restricted by range after the initial use of their powers (enhancing animals, manifesting emotions).

Yep, wouldn't be surprised by Construct Creation + 1 of Elemental or Energy Manipulation + Mental Manipulation for the tags for the synergy. Quite literally every Construct Creation tag power we have has one of those 3 powers tagged on as well. Well, barring Man-o-War who has the synergy, which is minorly contrasted with Maddie having the synergy alongside extra Construct Creation and Energy Manipulation tags.

Coincidentally, if right, this does imply that the Eastwood/Nox/Millions builds probably get ACC unless a second Construct Creation tag is needed from probably Dragonsteeth.

Giant Slayer (8) + Steadfast (2) + Fast Track (3)

A pretty simple idea for Homer, if we want to see what Transmutation could do while supplementing Abigail's physical focus with defense and speed.

My prior idea was a variation on this, replacing iSpy with Hunch + Miss Conception.

Also, we did Hunch + Chatroom before for John and his range is pretty damn impressive?????

This is true; his range is impressive, and a hero with higher potency could have an even better range. But if we have a distance-limited mental supporter, it will be hard to take advantage of BS's lightspeed. Whenever BS moves outside the supporter's range, she either needs to bring the supporter with her (then she can't travel at her full speed) or another high-mobility hero needs to get them to BS's new location.

I also think having different types of Clairvoyance in the team is more fun.

I mean, one of our plans involves making a teleporter as mobility support.

Hell, there's a world where that could also be our 'telepath', where instead of iSpy or Chatroom, Memoria's slotted into the build. He has Clairvoyance so we wouldn't be losing that.
