Tedology Posted May 26 Report Share Posted May 26 Hello all, I'm wondering how powers such as Mental Illusions or Mind Control function in the Multipower framework? If a hero uses his Mind Control slot to control a villain to do a certain thing, could he continue to pay endurance and switch Multipower slots? Or once he switches to his Mental Illusions slot, the Mind Control "disconnects" and the villain isn't controlled anymore? I hope I'm making sense in my question. Thank you!

Hugh Neilson Posted May 26 Report Share Posted May 26 (edited) The effect remains, even if the slot is switched. The target continues to get breakout rolls, and the multipower user can't pay END to keep the bonuses on the roll from accumulating. The attack is instant - the effects continue. Just like switching out of a Killing Attack slot would not heal someone hit by the KA two phases ago.

Christopher R Taylor Posted May 27 Report Share Posted May 27 Yeah Mind control and mental illusions are constant powers, but they have lingering effects when you stop paying END on them. Its just easier to break out if the controller is not paying END any more. When you swap the multipower slot you stop paying END on it, but the control/illusions remain in place in the target's mind.
