Sandman XI Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 Well, besides a few feats and a language the character is almost done mechanically. The concept is a champion of the nine Olympian muses. What I need help with is ideas for the array powers. Any suggestions?Player Name: Sandman XI Character Name: (name) Power Level: 10 (150/150PP) Trade-Offs: None Unspent Power Points: 0 Progress To Gold Status: 0/90 In Brief: Blessed Champion of the Nine Muses Alternate Identity: Identity: Secret Birthplace: Occupation: Freelance Artist Affiliations: The Nine Muses Family: Description: Age: ???

Cubist Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 Hmmm... some ideas, not all of which are necessarily going to pass muster 'as is': The Muses could grant you superhuman insight into human psychology, hence you can know what buttons to push in order to yield any given emotional/intellectual reaction. This could manifest as Confuse, Mind Control, Emotion Control, etc. Likewise, your psychological insights could grant you the ability to make exceptionally accurate judgements regarding what's going thru someone's head at any given time; i.e., Telepathy. Mental Quickness seems appropriate here. Postcognition, thanks to Clio (History). Snare with the SFX "target is helpless with uncontrollable laughter". courtesy of Thalia (Comedy). Weaponized jokes can ramp up to Suffocate (laugh so hard you can't breathe), Nauseate (ditto), or even Blast (laugh even harder, thus cracking a rib). Comprehend 5, i.e., the whole package. Terpsichore (Dance) could be the source of movement-related powers—Spinning, Speed, Leaping, Sure-Footed, Slow Fall, etc—and even physical attacks, since you'll have excellent reflexes, body control, and yada yada yada. Thus, Strike, Stun, Nauseate, and so on.
Ari Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 I really don't have much to add that Cubist didn't cover quite well. I would have gone: Calliope: Emotion Control Clio: Postcognition/Precognition along with a broad Super-Senses suite Erato: Snare/Regeneration Euterpe: Healing Melpomene: Drain/Blast Polyhymnia: Create Object/Flight Terpsichore: Speed/Quickness/Leaping Thalia: Protection/Force Field/Impervious/Snare Urania: Create object/Blast/Flight/Super-Senses/Immunity.
