[X] Plan Hat Wearing Abominations

I want to maximize crack, both for hilarity and to make this easy on Alivaril. To that end, fedorable will necessarily be the core of any plan I consider. From there, the question is how to maximize the use and crackiness of fedorable.

The most obvious and insane interaction is with friends; it is perfect that people will be able to figure out the powersets of our minions by looking at their headgear. For added performance (and for additional crackiness) we add on borrowed features, which will encourage us to go out and talk to other shards. We might have to complete some quests for them, but I'm sure that they won't need anything too weird. /s

The other obvious interaction is with form control. Why stop at being a dragon? How about being a dragon with a really nice hat? This additionally gives us additional ability to cosplay, which should further enhance our powers.

I'm not worried about having problems because we're a biotinker. The hats and adorableness will guarantee that people trust us. Like, hats! That give powers! How could someone with this powerset be a bad person?

It leaves out the Teleportation though, which means no bursting out of people's closets in the middle of the night shouting about how we require their aid for some undefined task.

I considered that instead of Borrowed Features, but honestly, I'd rather have a solid method for expanding our power-set. We may end up being able to do that anyway, by befriending a teleporter, and then incorporating their power into a Friend. Obvious choice would be Vista.

Sure you can! The tools you're looking for there are called tunnels. Of course, if you tunnel to the second story or higher, someone miiiight end up with a rather conspicuous hole in their ceiling. You suppose underground wiring and piping might be problematic as well. But both of those are Tomorrow QA's problem, especially if the infiltration goes on past midnight.

Host gains powers based on what type of head covering she is wearing.

So what kind of hat would give us a teleport power?

IC I'd prefer to let QAylor find out during a binge session, but OOC, coonskin caps. Artificial fur is fair game. After all, those things are worn by hunters, right? And hunters are always lurking in trees. Therefore, teleporting up into trees saves everyone involved time and effort.

...What? Enhanced climbing? What kind of a boring power is that?

Just trees?

No, not just trees, fret not. That's the logic behind the power itself, but the actual effect is a shortish-ranged blink that doesn't require line-of-sight or line-of-effect. Leaves would probably be annoying if it did.

Anyway, it's past 1:00 AM here, so I'm off to sleep. G'night folks.

Aw. We can't get, like, half a power each from two different hats? Or a tenth of a power from each of ten hats? Or would that require a new power option?

No. An awful lot of abilities would simply stop functioning if they were forced to split their energy among others. That or you'd run into safety problems with "weaker" versions. This is vastly preferable if you want to avoid Host permanently turning herself into a puddle of acid or something. You're also pretty sure the other shards would mock Host and you if Host started wearing multiple hats at once.

EDIT: She can switch between them whenever she wants, though.

...Puddle of acid... That's an incredible idea, if we make our host into a puddle of acid she'll be completely safe because no humans(with their soft disolvable bodies) will want to get close to her.
 
@teleporting dragon folks: Why spend a point on such a difficult-to-use teleport when a hat will do everything you need and be usable when you're a dragon and you can be seen from anywhere in the city?

It's the short range, I think, meanwhile the cat-transport goes anywhere in a 1-kilometer radius, which can be fun.
... Oh jeez I just noticed the restrictions the drawback puts on the power, I thought the main power was limited by human LOS, and the drawback meant other animals made it count, but now I realize that the original power only requires no observation by other hosts? Oh jeez that's pretty good.
 
[X]Plan Kitty

This is everything I ever wanted out of the power sets offered.
 
[X] Plan Hat Wearing Abominations

Any plan which does not include Fedorable is a bad plan. So you should all vote for this one.
 
[X] Plan Now you see me...
[X] Fedorable (-1 Points)
-[X] Fashion is Serious Business (-2 Point)
[X] Cat-Based Teleportation (-2 Points)
-[X] Since when are they real people? (+1 Point)
[X] Read-only, Human Senses (-2 Points)
-[X] Horrible Host Hardware (+1 Point) -[X]Write Access, Human Senses (-1 Point)
 
[X] Plan Hat Wearing Abominations

This contains everything I want, plus Vebyast has the best arguments for Fedorable. :p

I am confused by you. I'm pretty sure Teleporting Dragon means this:

What you are voting for seems to be Plan Teleporting Dragon (Stranger variant):

It might be confusing there are 3 plans about teleporting dragons, but I belive you are the only one who voted for one of the two variants? Anyway, my vote is

[X] Plan Teleporting Dragon

though I liked the kitty plan as well.
