And homer is under the "employ" of the Drug Algernon.

I've said before that we should wait until we have the DNA necessary for a psychic build, but it honestly might be better to do it now and have a clairvoyance-focused build we can pretend is some much more minor power.
So basically, we juice up Yara, give her a psychic power and pretend that she has the ability to make herself invisible or something minor when her actual power is ultra-clairvoyance/telepathy, which we keep hidden like we do for Doctor Silver. For added bonus, being seemingly weak means Yara won't draw attention to herself much and we'll have an easier time keeping her identity secret.

I think you quoted the wrong post man, I don't get the point you were trying to refute/add to.

I'm low key thinking about limiting tolerance boosts to 3, keeping the higher tolerances special.

"But Bitterman," you might say, "What about high potency samples like Zeno, Lightstep, or even The Red Huntress? Won't this mean they're never get used for taking up too much tolerance?"

To which I'd say: That's what Rosemary's Baby is for!

Frankly, I think Song would work fine just as-is without any potency increases. He could end up a solid B-tier hero with a good powerset that meshes well with his lifetime's worth of kung-fu and/or has a good cover.

Not every single hero we have is going to end up a giant powerhouse. We need to accept that.
 
Ok... so that puts things into perspective.
So Rosemarys Baby will not only let use her DNA. But will also change what we know and may alter our decision plans.

Well as much as fast pass would be really useful. Now im interested in what the heck Rosemarys baby action will do...

I think my main question in the world where that happens is what happens to Fast Pass? Since to at least some extent the lower cap would vastly change Fast Pass' level of utility compared to where it is now.

And I'm almost wondering if its in our best interests to hit at Rosemary's Baby first of the options now.
 
Im inclined to vote for Rosemarys Baby next turn.
But I think we really need to... well GET to the next turn. We have a lot of speculations, potential game mechanic changes and potential prorities changes (out side of the ones we have established we WILL do).
I think we have to wait till we reach the next turn in order ro really worry about what we should do.

Also, remember, people think it's weird how strong JU is now. Handyman and Menagerie Witch are clear A-listers, with Doctor Silver being an A-lister who is categorized as a C-lister because people don't know about his spacial awareness or the Hustle. Valiant Gold and Black Swan are S-Class. Only Chatelet and Lady Leizi would be B-tier, and their superlative at what they do.

You start adding nothing but A and S-Classes? People other than Crusade or who you call The Philosophers will start to notice.

Avenues for LL improvement:
  • More usage out of that [Fitness] keyword (bioelectricity? You could do a lot with that, maybe regen)
  • More practice with upper limits of punches. (Even if it's only for a few milliseconds, lightning bolts are really fucking hot)
  • Getting that weapon (big stick lmao)

YES, I LOVE WHEN PEOPLE EVOLVE THEIR POWERE THROUGH TRAINING- YEESSS

Incidentally, maybe we should just give Song Harper's sample? With luck, it'd grant the "scales to match enemy" aspect, and we can explain it as him having never properly faced an enemy strong enough to trigger it.

Oooo this is a good idea!

And hmm, I do have an idea that might be considered better then that, not sure to share it here tho

and seeing as Kermie hasn't shared what I theorized about...
I'd like everyone to imagine what would happen if people did learn of Ambrosia and strove out to make their own.

Now, let's say they only know how to make it, not knowing about Resonance. And let's say they look at an active hero like Black Swan and say "I want to make a copy of you."
And then they get what they need to do that. DNA and everything
The moment the procedure happens... UH OH, RESONANCE! TWO PEOPLE ARE DEAD!
One is Mona.

Or, more likely, they look at Wolong and go "I want to make a better version of you," And uses his DNA in a mixture.
UH OH, RESONACE! TWO PEOPLE ARE DEAD!
One is Gabriel

Let's say that they know of the dangers, but the symbol people get it and go "We don't like Lady L, she's a big risk. Oh! We have a perfect way to kill her!" And they take an orphan, strap them to a table, and give them Ambrosia with LL's DNA...
You can get what would happen. Assassination in an instant.

Project Prometheus is something that allows all of this to happen. As well something like you have someone who has a power you want on this guy, maybe improve it a bit too. So you go ahead and kill that one and give the power to this new guy!

That is the danger Project Prometheus has for this world should it be leaked. To be a metahuman... may be impossible without hiding lest you get scalped for your power.

Who is this Homer and is there any post about him?

Well several but those we made AGES ago. Homer is our potential tol 10 candidate we can get by completing a set of missions involbing Lethal Anondyne. Bitterman has confimed his name (because mostly everyone was calling him Drug boy before We knew his name) And I think he appears for a brief moment during the End of Black Swan VS. Scarlet Maturity.

Do we know resonance works this way?

It seems equally plausible the person taking the dose just dies — eg they can't connect to the stage when there is already a connection of that exact type present, so they simply perish.

With Nora/Ellie as a bit of a mess that's only possible given the state Nora has wound up in.

Generally if you can get close enough to someone to take a DNA sample you can kill most people cheaper and easier than recreating Proj Prom. The dificulty of tracing it is outweighed by the infrastructure needed and the difficulty and danger of aquiring Goldnine. It might be worthwhile for Mona, if you can get a DNA sample from a black hole, but most supers are still vulnerable to easier methods.

Making a cover story for it is going to be really difficult, that is the problem with him. For some people is a bit easier than for others.

I do agree that maybe make actual B tier powers or C tiers should be done, at least to maintain apperances.

Because since we are already on the edge with Doctor Silver, if we attempt for others to try to punch below their grade, there will be a high chance (depending of their power) that they will mess up.

Give Song Autobiok along with Clairvoyany/Strenght synergy.

Adamant
Soldier X
Daggermaw
MR Hunch

Gives 2 synergies and uses every drop of power from the DNAs by using upp all keywords for synergies.

Autobiokinesis is likely to give Song his youth back too. So we can lie and say hisnpowers triggered after getting old or create an entirely new identity for him.

The clairvoyant synergy if really based on wulong power should be easy to hide too like with DS space recognition.
 
You know, I really should have thought about the obvious vector for enhancing the Daggermaw/Hunch combo being more of the same. Now I'm thinking that I might go with Daggermaw/Hunch/Soldier X/Sewer Rat for double Enhanced Senses.

Wow that's four builds between The Uncle Iroh, Swift Shifu, Master Misdirector and Splinter Sensor (this new one).
