Prince of Boredom Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 "Did you know your aura just flared-up in the same way Orzaiz's does when he gets really charming?.. Is that what you're here to do, Mike, are you here to sweet-talk me?"question, I was under the impression that mega-socials were inherently non-detectable (otherwise they wouldn't be very useful, ie. 'Hi, I am now trying to persuade you... Do you feel persuaded?')... Am I missing something on face value, or am I/Mike suppose to understand that Pathfinder has some way to detect the normally subtle uses of even mega social powers?

ezekiel Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 Man... You're the worst case of mega-socials envy I've seen in my entire life, Bahamut. ::smiley1 Or...you could be a case of Not-havin'-to-have mega-soc envy ::confused ::smiley4 Derek has one of the weakest minds I've encounteredYeah, that is quite a bluff (that and finding him in a minute)...I'm sure Terry feels very flattered by her staying nonetheless...

Ayre el KaBeer Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 thats nullifer there that has that taint. I am...umm....Aberration free. *I* was the date dude. And I didnt need superpowers to get it either. B810, you max out so often I recon you're going to have to amend that statement come next chapter. Hell I think Will's gonna be picking up taint considering to how upset he's been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brilyn Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 am I/Mike suppose to understand that Pathfinder has some way to detect the normally subtle uses of even mega social powers? Easy: Quantuum Attunement.She sees flows of Quantuum. When you *use* Quantuum, she shes "your aura flare". And just spots the connection between Orzaiz being charming and his aura flaring up.Not a stretch. I'd consider it pretty damn reasonable.Doesn't mean the effect is negated, she just probably has buckets of Willpower...... ::wink Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right. I'll bet it would take her at least 10 minutes. ::tongue She teleports to Chicago. Then she does a mind scan, or tracks him by smell or something. If she has Mega-Perception 4+ (which seems likely) then I wouldn't put it past her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ezekiel Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 The DMD sticks his shield on his back and sprints over to one of the jeeps, picks it up, and now he has another, bigger, shield/club. He (it?) holds it in front of him as he jogs through one of the roller doors. K, now I'd like to subscribe to future issues of DMD's mayhem madness!™ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Green Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 The funny part is that all any baseline needs to do to survive combat with DMD is walk away. If they didn't insist on being in the way there wouldn't be a fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A part of me wants to say that it isn't my fault they got in the way.Another wants to say that a group of on duty soldiers on a millitary base in a country at war is a legit target. That what the North Korean's are pissed about is that we won.But most of me probably just doesn't want to think about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brilyn Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 Given how easy it is to locate someone you've met using Telepathy, it doesn't matter where on the planet Pathfinder is when she searchs for Derek. 5 successes gets you a range of 20,000km......As for running, well.... Her Warp will get to Derek faster than Derek's legs will get him away.So it's kinda given that she's gonna catch up with him.Though, I'm not really seeing the problem. She's hardly going to launch into an attack on Derek the moment she appears. It's not her style.And besides, you people talk like Derek isn't expecting something like this..... ::halo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ezekiel Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 Actually I think Pathfinder is really just having a change of clothes...Hell, if I could warp, you'd never see me use the smelly, pissed all over the floor, bar restrooms.Your crapper, don't leave home without it.

brilyn Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 That's possibly true. Don't forget the last appearance of Virus was a planned assassination. Given that Derek is not in direct opposition to Pathfinder and company, I don't see them choosing the 'direct assault' option.However, should they do so, Derek is toast, and there's nothing I can do about it. ::wink Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's being funded by Masters, and after this little escapade, he'll probably be lucky to get a post-graduate in a 4-person university in some 3rd world desert.....Otherwise, he's going to Prison.

Alex Green Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 I can see Virus sending his clones to go toe to toe with DMD. After all that's what Clones are for and he has that strength drain. On the other hand, Virus' powers are based on making people unhealthy and Alex's are based on staying healthy, so it might be a short conflict.Virus: But that doesn't soak! ::blink DMD: Sure it does. ::biggrin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
