Obsidian Shade Posted August 25, 2003 Share Posted August 25, 2003 hoii just started creating a nova in the 15th or 16th century. should be some kind of pirate. but i got no idea on his powers (and have not seen this new movie yet *g). i thought about some kind of tentacles, made out of water, he can generate from his hands, to grab or hit. also about mega dex for unbelievable fight action. can anybody help?thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 I suggest you play up the famed superstition of sailors, especially ones of that era, with powers like Face of Terror, Megaugliness, Holo, and Emotional Manipulation to increase his terrifying reputation, or powers like Luck or Entropy Control as his own superstition manifests. Weather Manipulation would also be a good idea, as would anything connected to the sea. Megaphysicals are a safe bet. That's about all I can think of off the top of my head.

Obsidian Shade Posted August 27, 2003 Author Share Posted August 27, 2003 he got Bodymorph (Water) and Deflect/Redirect and heavy Mega Dex beside other Mega Atts. i hope it will work *g He is erupted in a battle on the sea of course. he survived because of his Bodymorph and Mega Stam's Adaptability, until he was found by another ship and "rescued".

Finbar Posted August 27, 2003 Share Posted August 27, 2003 But howzabout Q-Bolt for cannonfire and Weather Control (if for no other reason than climactic thunder!)...FR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obsidian Shade Posted August 27, 2003 Author Share Posted August 27, 2003 but the quantum fields are very low before Mal powered them up. so i thougth he got no more than Quantum 3 at the beginning. and Q-Bolt has not enough style ::pirate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finbar Posted August 27, 2003 Share Posted August 27, 2003 Nah...Mal just made it easier for novas to erupt...Weather control would be very useful for a pirate (fog to sneak around in, wind always at your bak, and thunder at just the right moment for some serious intimidation), and would be a lot more subtle than turning into water.Q-bolt itself may not be stylish, but cannonballs zipping around just sounds to pirate-y to pass up ::pirate ....FR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix Posted August 28, 2003 Share Posted August 28, 2003 Quantum Bolt can be stylish. The anime-style Quantum Bolt, for example - a small blue ball of energy that appears between the fighter's hand, swells up smoothly for a beat with a high-pitched hum, then blasts off towards the opponent. Like in Spirited Away (an excellent movie).I admit that cannonballs are perhaps not so stylish, and would point out that the pirate would hopefully have actual cannons with which to dispatch cannonballs.. ::wink ::pirateI agree with Finbar that Weather Control would rock for a pirate, but unfortunately, Obsidian Shade is right - pre-Galatea novas are significantly less powerful than today's. I can't remember the specifics, but lowered Q-max could well be a part of it. Them's the breaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahamut810 Posted August 28, 2003 Share Posted August 28, 2003 I think someone needs to reads the rules for Paradox in Mage: TA 3e... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obsidian Shade Posted August 28, 2003 Author Share Posted August 28, 2003 to fire cannonballs is one things, Redirect them with your hands is quite more stylish ::devil ::pirate the low quantum is mentioned in the PG and only for beginning characters. later in the game you can power it up and get Weather Control... hopefully i will gain enough XP ::rolleyes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knave Posted August 28, 2003 Share Posted August 28, 2003 bah... Adventure! That's more piratey by far. Arrrrr! ::pirate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahamut810 Posted August 28, 2003 Share Posted August 28, 2003 Yea...A! would work much better...especial the sanctum background (underground cove) and Device (hamster powered pirate ship). Like I said before though...check the mage book fro the description of cooincidental effects and stick to that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
