posin?

[kito]

hio all kito here i have a hero who want his bite to posin. doing about 1 dmg every 10 pannels and lasting until a hour is up so 120 pannels so doing about 12 dmg by the end of it all. how can i make this fare? is there a current posin template i could have a look at?

my plan was simply to have it be a advantage in a bighting mod for +3 (durration between dmg) and (+4) Durration on posin

so it is Bighting(claws) +11 (+4 for claws +3 dmg +4durration= 11) so lvl 1 would cost about 25 stones? seems kinda unfar also then how would u know if you posin them? as i thought posin was vs dur to succeed? so then is it bighting dmg vs dur tp succed posin? as i said help plz

Well, you could give him a paralyzing poison. That's +5. Or it could do just damage that's flavored as poison. Just like fire is just damage that's flavored like fire.

hmm i was thiking that but he want a posin that altho wont kill u right off the bat if it goes unchecked it could be fatel. idk exsacaly wut i need to even look at to begin to know if im pring it right i mean +11 is crazy but again it is 12 free dmg. might just cut the cost in half so like +6 or have him pay for his posin on the side and just do a +1 for added posin.

Doing 1 point of damage every 10 panels should look more like this...

New Modifier:

Poison - Cost Level = Modifier Number
Poison does an automatic 1 Red Stone of Damage to a target on top of any other damage they take from an attack, for every level Poison is over their Durability.
+2 - Buy Poison with Duration equal to the MN. Target must resist with Durability every Panel for the duration, with a Resistance equal to how many stones of damage they took from the initial hit. A successful Medical check with a Resistance equal to the MN of this Modifier x 10, can remove this effect entirely.

Ie: Scorpion with a Poison Attack of 7 attacks and damages Cyclops in a battle. He causes 2 stones of damage to Cyclops. For the next week, (7 days according to the Duration on the AR chart), Cyclops must allocate 2 stones from his Durability, per panel to fight off the poison. If Beast uses his Medical skill, he can treat Cyclops for the poison, removing it entirely once he reaches 70 Resistance with his Healing Action.

This is great thx alot i think this is exsacly wut i was looking for.

That is pretty awesome. Good work.

It's not balanced at the price (did some testing). Should be about MN+3 for Cost Level. Or alternately, not cause initial damage (this is like a Force Blast Action to Modifier otherwise). I might rewrite it and post it in the House Rules area...

New Modifier:

Poison
Cost Level = Modifier Number + 2
Poison requires that you first cause damage to your target. If you do at least 1 point of damage to your target, your target becomes Poisoned for a Duration equal to the MN of this Modifier (as per the AR Chart).

The target will feel weak as his body spends Energy fighting off the Poison. For each level that the Poison exceeds the Durability of the target, the target takes 1 red stone of potential damage. To offset the damage, the target must spend a number of Energy per turn equal to the number of White stones of damage the poison causes.

Ie: Scorpion stings Cyclops with a level 7 poison. Cyclops has a Durability of 3. So, Cyclops would take 4 Red stones of potential damage per turn (Poison 7 - 3 Durability). That's equal to 2 White stones (1 White stone for every 1 to 3 red stones). Thus Cyclops has to spend 2 Energy per turn fighting off the infection, for a whole week.

This poison can be negated by a Medical Check with a Resistance equal to the MN x 10.

This puts it in line I think, from a balance point of view, with Drain Energy. The idea not being to actually do damage, but to force them to create their own personal Energy Drain which should never actually be more than 2.

So, Energy Drain being a +1, level 2 being 1W, Action to Modifier making it 4W, -1 since you don't get Absorbtion for 3W, -1 since you have to damage them first for 2W... but pay for the fact that it has an incredible duration... you could probably do about equal with out creating the Modifier, but the Modifier gives more theme and individualizes it...
