    • Why the people are so hell-bent on giving Eve new powers? We should prioritize the Network to allow the shards a constant contact and thus cheap and easy-to-resupply Pings and Echoes, we could make Eve literally immortal and cut loose, but no, screw the strategy, let's waste resources on the tactical benefits... Eve's strong enough to handle herself for a couple of days without new powers!

    A/N: Remember to feel free to DM possible powers or Aspects. I will look over them, judge their worth, what Pings/Echoes they would require. If I like them, they will be added to a voting list I will put to a vote for you all later on.

    N/As just means you have to unlock the power to see what it's upgrade does. The names are related to the function of the upgrades though.

    Thanks to Great Greedy Guts for their Aspect ideas! Bulwark, Crystal, Sensory, Ferrous, and Elemental!

    Thanks to     JayTar for their Aspect/sidegrades and power upgrade ideas! Clockwork Limb, Elemental Explosive, Ferrous Forge, and Iron Maiden!

    Thanks to     Telegraph Nine for their Power suggestion, Energetic Administration!


    Decided to make this a threadmark (and maybe future posts) that I might prune in the future cause a few people told me that they read this on mobile and it's hard to keep up: Thoughts?

    [] Keep it as a threadmark, I like it (Why?)

    [] The extra voting was better (Clutter right?)

    Also quick question, does building the tech also consume Echoes or do we only need them to unlock the tech?

    The Ferrous Forge will save us quite a bit of materials for tinkering.

    Durability needs 3 Armorer Echoes, we have 3, and Ferrous forge needs one too.
