Custom Technique Approval

[Vad]

5 XP and 1 PP. Essentially my thought on this is that you're paying the 1 PP to empower the Shapechange form you choose (humanoid obviously) to last much longer and thus only cancel when you're severely injured or choose to end it.

Fair enough?

Disregard this. It's different than TrueShape in that you can be reverted still so 15 XP.

Oi guys, not tryin ta step on any toes, but TrueShape is ALMOST the exact same thing. Jus' sayin'.

No problem. I can't remember every case of precedence. Being reminded of those who bought a similar technique is helpful. Thanks.

So instead of illuminating the area with light you want to create a momentary Stealth AOE effect making everything blanketed by the energy you launch to be temporarily invisible to the naked eye unless they initiate combat?

The only thing unseen is Nova temporarily.The orb blankets the eyesight and lenses momentarily and allows him to move around unseen because the ki that hit the sight bends the light and such to not detect his ki signature or that which produces it.

Edit: RIght now im mainly thinking about Camera's in a storyline but i know it can be used to attack someone and other stuff

That sounds like stealth itself. What are specifically trying to do?

[Mal Nova]

BAH! Stealth says you cant attack while in stealth mode.

This method will send his stealth energy and blind his foe and lenses temporarily to his ki signature and himself as well as a Ki attack from him. Everyone and everything else can be seen. The time duration could be said as long as a Solar Flare... So moments...

[Alexander Trafford]

If the stealth is on the person with stealth, than an attack breaks their stealth. But if that person is projecting their stealthiness so it's not so much on themselves as on the enemy, then the stealth will not break if they attack because it wasn't on them.

Yes? Essentially a technique to allow a single attack the enemy won't see coming. Unless they're boss.

[Jarka]

Material Shift/Tossed Salad:

Using the powers of psychokinesis and/or shapechange, Jarka can change the properties of inanimate objects to transform them into another inanimate object of a similar mass. For example, the power could change a stapler into a banana and vice verse. Bigger objects would cause a greater exertion of power.

[Orion]

Mal: So you want to create a custom tech that eliminates the one condition of using the ability?

Jarka: 20 XP

[Sigfried Hunin]

What would an example of a custom tech that used martial arts spec be?

Tactics:

Having spent years as a martial artist, Vad has learned to use all of his senses to their fullest. The sound of a footstep, the smell of sweat and blood, and even the smallest twitch of muscles allow Vad to keep track of those he's in close combat with. He can detect movements of people within 8 feet of him thanks to his martial skills and training.

The quoted technique above. For reference it ran 20 XP.

[Mal Nova]

Mal: So you want to create a custom tech that eliminates the one condition of using the ability?

Pretty much... I mean, it's not actually using stealth, but manifesting the stealth ability itself into a ball that once it explodes, those eye sight(Or camera lenses that catch it) can't see Mal Nova momentarily. So he's not in actually stealth mode.

This isn't intended to be a god-modded technique but I think will prove useful in various situations with Nova. Especially with lenses and such.

[Vad]

Sorry. You can't remove the condition built into that ability.

[Alexander Trafford]

Call it a smoke grenade and instead of using the word stealth use the word obscure and just RP moving through thick billows of smoke.

[Mal Nova]

But cameras will see the smoke O_o

[Super Buu]

Seems like it would be fair with a PP cost. It's hardly ridiculously overpowered, people can still throw up a barrier or pull crazy evasive manoeuvres since they know he's coming.

[Sigfried Hunin]

Thorn of Kai:
Requirements: Body Split, Shapeshift, Trueshape, Authority of Might

Sigfried manifests a blade purely construed of his body, mind and soul. He may not Shapeshift into any other form while the blade is present, nor may he Body Split or Regenerate. The power the blade holds is exactly proportional to his overall CA, and is capable of great feats of strength and sharpness. No other blade can match it in its durability or balance, but it would be difficult to test any of these qualities due to the fact that it can never leave Sigfried's hands when he has called it.

(This technique is basically a sync weapon with a few twists.)

I don't have a problem with him using smoke so that's okay route for you Mal.

I still can't allow it. He said above that he's "pretty much" trying to remove the one condition of the ability which is not allowed. Attacking removes the character from stealth. There isn't a way around that.

[John Doe]

Boomfist: Gathering energy into his fist, Doe can create a combustible hand. When his Boomfist collides with something, it explodes. And it's awesome.

'Splosion Man!: Similar to the Boomfist, Doe can remake the effect across his entire body. Every part of Doe's body is a bomb, just waiting to go off. Unlike his Boomfist, when Doe uses this technique, he injures himself a fraction of the attack's power. You know what Peppy said, "Use bombs wisely!"

Just as an FYI: A sync weapon would be stronger.

I was meaning to make a technique that would be stronger than a sync weapon and made it so that Sigfried had basically NO other powers when he used it. Does that balance out?
