Yeah, the attack echo thing is a cool concept, but I think it'd have to be paired with another ability to be useful. Like, you're not going to mark and copy punching someone in the face, but you would probably want to mark and copy shooting someone with three converging lightning bolts.

Physical attacks could still have some merit to being used, you could bait someone to leap and avoid your attack, then activate the attack echo to replicate an previous attack that reached upwards, though I do agree standard punches and such would have little use.

So I'm trying to come up with a power that would be dream-like and effective at the same time that also synergizes with the attack echo concept. Best thing I can come up with is a object-spawning power, how would that work?

Also, would a mech like the one Bedman uses be acceptable if the person piloting it wasn't powerful enough to fight without it? As in, barely able to scratch the average Toa otherwise? I could make it not bed-shaped, but I've never used a character that doesn't use hand to hand combat and I wanna try something different for this game...

I don't know if that'd be acceptable. I could make my character be an absurdly tiny rodent who just happens to be intelligent and pilot an indestructible mech suit. My character on his own is technically super easy to defeat; but for all intents and purposes, he's always going to be a hulking robot rather than a rat.

Now who said anything about the mecha being hulking? =P Again, I don't remember Bedman's vehicle being massive, I mean, it's technically larger than most fighters but a competent opponent could go toe-to-toe with it still. Not to mention, having things like an open cockpit (or none at all) also help with the whole 'still beatable' thing. 

Basically, the device wouldn't be superior to other opponents.... It'd just be the character who's inferior to the rest on his own and needs a small mech to even out the odds and channel his powers. =P

I'm not approving a fighter that uses a bed as their main weapon

Doesn't having two powers and a weapon seem a... bit much?

Yes, Xaeraz, if we base it off of actual characters, then it is completely legitimate. However at this point what sets it apart from many of the other RPGs? Heck what even sets it apart from the Bzprpg, aside from plot and the implementation of a 'battle' system. 

It just seems like with adding even more powers/weapons we are wandering even further from the original concept of Bionifight. Afterall do you really want to fight someone who has 3 separate powers?

Increasing it to three powers/weapons/tools was done to appease the RPG forum regulars. We wouldn't even be making it to judging otherwise.

Plus it means I can make my SUICIDE CANNONBALL even more better!

Power 3: Portal can spontaneously combust on command

hehe

Ugh... *makes a disgusted face* That would explain why 3 powers... Those rpg regulars do love their powers.

I think Mr. Xaeraz has his source of spare parts now.

Probably a whip, really.

I'm thinking of calling it a Cat O' Spine Tails

YES!!!

Excellent. I am now looking forward to this game.  

We are now one step closer to this being an actual thing woo~

Can the Cat O' Spine Tails be a, like, supper strong weapon a player gets for giving the Queen an Infinity Gem?

We shall see

good enough for me

Are you ready?


Are you sure?

My body is ready.

Oh dear.

Now four RPGs are set in the running... When Infinite and Asylum hit the RPGs will be the busiest place in the forums.
