Invisible Problema

[slobo]

In the CAD of the invisible, she have Invisibility 8. But be invisible cost just 2 energy stone. She have use is power in close combat but not in range (Why ?). And she have Flight and force field separetly.
Why she have not master of cosmic energy 8 : Flight, Force field, invisibility and Use is power in Range, at the place.
In the original CAD he not make the force field and the flight dependant of the invisibility part. And more important no Range attaque. But Sue must creat invisible form for range.

Why bother with mastery if all she does are three things at best? Invisibility, Force Fields and Flying by those Force Fields- why mastery?
And she can attack using her Force Field- then it works like Force Blast, except with lower range.

While CAD in general is quite cool, I still prefer the normal version of Sue's powers. Sure, her CAD is godawful (you mean to tell me SHE defeated Hulk? Even with dozens of sit mods, Im not buying it.), but as WK stated it many times- explaining EVERYTHING with Mastery is a poor choice, when you can just as easily do it with already estabilished actions.

[WildKnight]

I don't understand whats supposedly wrong with Sue Storm's CAD as is (notwithstanding the usual energy problems).

Sue's powers are not a mastery. She doesn't manipulate cosmic energy in any way. Sue DOES have a ranged attack... Force Field is a ranged attack.

Further, while its true that it only costs her 2 red to turn Invisibility on and 1 red to maintain it, when you're using a Mastery you're limited to the total AN... so she couldn't be invisible at 8 AND maintain a Force Field or Flight at the same time... her power would be "used up."

[GhostKnight]

Jeez, where were you when I created the CAD that long ago?

To "bundle" powers give you the benefit of using more than two powers at the same time (Force Field, Telekinesis and Invisibility) but as WK pointed the dividing of stones is its downside.

When I created her I wanted to do something like Lucy from the anime Elfen Lied... of course I had a stone count and didn't want to destroy the entire character essence.

And yes, the energy problem is a big one in most of the book's characters.

[Edit] And the original draft had Ninja to make it worse.

[Jet]

I can understand that you had to save stones. I dont know about others, but when I made a character for Psylocke's Exiles, I had only 30+10 stones to make characters, which might've been a problem (thankfully, my character was Havoc, so I had no problems at all)

But she have the power of creat invisible object for range attacK !

And like wikipedia tell :
The Invisible Woman, as her name suggests, has the power to render herself invisible at will, as a result of the mutagenic effects of exposure to cosmic radiation. She has the psionic ability to manipulate ambient cosmic energy to mentally bend all wavelengths of light (including infrared and ultraviolet radiation) around her body without causing any visible distortion; she also somehow directs enough undistorted light to her eyes to retain her sight while invisible. Her body cells produce an unknown form of energy that she can mentally project around other people or objects, rendering them invisible. She can also use this energy to render visible, persons or objects rendered invisible by other means, and energy that is normally invisible.

[WildKnight]

First of all, as a resource, wikipedia should be somewhere between "random speculation" and "stuff I just made up."

Second of all, you can ALREADY USE FORCE FIELD TO MAKE ATTACKS. What you're describing is just the visual affect that occurs when she does so.

[Jet]

Just becouse she uses cosmic energy for her attacks, doesnt make it a mastery. All she ever did, could be categorized as reshaping her Force Field- so again, why bother? I'd throw an overstrain option to give her an ability to enlarge it to cover the whole cities (which she did few times) but leaves her weak after (which happens everytime she does it), but that more of a "How would I improve original CAD's" problem then this.

[Reemo]

I would describe her ability to cover cities with her force field as Overstrain +1.

What if when you became invisible you also increased your mental defense & psionic Undetectability how much should that advan. . . cost?!
