Oggoruk Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 I hope this is the right Place to ask for Character creation Help. I'm about to start Playing this game for the first time and need held with a Build for a Mentalist who's powers are limited to touch, lucky for him he used to be a wrestler. what I'm asking for is Interesting Powers that might work well teamed with Grab.and if you're kind enough, the points it would cost. right now we are doing a low powered game so just 250 points are allowed, 100 in disadvantages. Thanks for what ever help you can give. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Singingcrow Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 Re: The Mentalist Wrestler Well, the obvious one would be Clairsentience with retrocognition with limitations of only while in contact with person or object? Another limitation of only vision or sound? Maybe tie in find weakness? tie it to a subtle mind scan that could "find" obvious, to the targets mind, weaknesses. You could also utilize Images or Mental Illusions. Projecting into targets mind nightmares/ Fantasies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattingly Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 Re: The Mentalist Wrestler I had a similar character, and what worked tremendously well was to grab a target and then hit them with the Mental Illusion "You're Grabbed." Then they'd stay "grabbed" in their own minds, unable to break out, until they made their EGO Roll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vulcan Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 Re: The Mentalist Wrestler So he's got a more limited form of "No Range" then? Sorta like Spock? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattingly Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 Re: The Mentalist Wrestler Well, he doesn't want people to know that he's a mentalist, since tactics against him would change. By keeping his true powers a secret, he can take advantage of the element of surprise. Besides, actually puching someone with his limited knowledge of martial arts, and then hitting them with a mental illusion that he just hit them and it hurt a lot, is just loads of fun, and also pretty effective.

Certified Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 Re: The Mentalist Wrestler What about a continuous Ego attack linked to a Hand to hand attack. Kind of lingering pain kind of thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radar Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 Re: The Mentalist Wrestler Might have to go with invisible power effects, too - otherwise someone a bit more perceptive than the rest could deduce his powers were mental.

Certified Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 Re: The Mentalist Wrestler Another power may be a Hand to Hand attack with a trigger of foes moving into range or other contingencies. The idea being he reads the foe's intent. It's not exactly touch but, if it needs to be touch only the trigger could be getting struck.

Alibear Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 Re: The Mentalist Wrestler You could mentally close down the area of the brain handling perception. A flash to sight and touch based on Ego perhaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pinecone Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 Re: The Mentalist Wrestler this guy could work in a LUCHE LIBRE HERO campaign the ARE wrestlers after all Exactly, you can use a whole Multi-power of Lucha mentalism..."The hostages are in the old mine!" "How do you know?" "I had him in the armlock of truth!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"How do you know?" "I had him in [b']the armlock of truth[/b]!" Priceless. This character is an awesome idea and would be great in a LLH game. For one thing, it's an entirely new spin on the traditional brick/martial artist wrestling hero. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm playing a luchador myself, just a standard low-level brick / martial artist (wrestling), but I'm thinking of giving him some minor mystical abilities which he uses to battle supernatural evil.

Kal'El Wayne Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Re: The Mentalist Wrestler I always liked high level Telekinesis, with a range of touch. It works like superstrength, so people can assume you're just a very strong wrestler, but, when you need to, you can do some funky stuff with it, like wall-crawling or even leviation as long as some part of your costume touches the floor. It explains why your brick PC can pick up a car/truck/train without bending it or ripping off a small part of it instead, because you use TK to hold every bit of it at once. The touch is just to make contact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wyldspirit Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 Re: The Mentalist Wrestler If you want the effect of a wrestler without giving away your true nature just but telekenisis with a restriction on wrestling manuevers. You could have a limited from of telekenisis that covers your body like a thin invisible suit that boosts any normal physical action you do. Mind over matter with a super-twist.
