Mimic

[Tyr]

In a Saga it could be used against a Staff Created NPC, but not in your personal roleplays and saga's. And no you don't have to fight the same person several times, you maintain whatever ability you copied until you decide to switch or drop it.

No that's not what I mean. This is an example without roleplaying skill involved, but just my thoughts.

Imagine this, we've got a scenario of a rivalry. We got Goku with Mimic and Vegeta with Elemental Ki: Awesome. Because Goku didn't realize he disliked Vegeta enough to start a rivalry, he didn't make custom techniques for Elemental Ki: Awesome, but Vegeta did because he had it from start.

So first battle: Goku gets Elemental Ki: Awesome but can only use very basic stuff, so Vegeta wins by custom techniques. Goku escapes the battle and buys some custom techniques to actually match Vegeta, but he'll still be at a disadvantage because Vegeta would have purchased new ones.

Reading over this this is a far-fetched 'what if, what if' scenario, but this is what stops me from getting Mimic. As a new character I would have to decide to become good with a certain ability and that for me removes the will to get the ability to temporarily have all ability. I'd rather be an expert than a jack-shit-of-all-trades.
