Re: Powers Death's Kiss

[Death's Kiss]

now you tell me....
O.o so what changed that it is so costly now?

and if it can be cut what power cost would it be?

[The Ninja]

I overlooked the fact it is a very simple to use almost foolproof binding power. You could easily tie anyone up any time, anywhere because at night everything is shadow and during the day apparently everyone is always touching a shadow, so you can bind anyone up with no limits whatsoever, allowing you in theory to kill thousands easily. If it can be cut... I'd still need to hear all the limitations. How many bindings can you do? How far away do you have to be? Do you need to be touching the shadows as well? If you make the technique into something with well-defined limits like this: http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Shadow_Imitation_Technique you can keep the cost low and upgrade it as you go on.

ugh
ok give me a sec to do that

[Death's Kiss]

5 Slots - Much higher than a human could be capable of, standard powers like you might find in the repertoire of a supporting Marvel or DC character. BINDING POWERS MUST USE AT LEAST FIVE SLOTS.

10 Slots - Powers which you might find in the repertoire of a Marvel or DC main character. KILLING POWERS MUST USE AT LEAST TEN SLOTS.

25 Slots - Godlike powers. The only restriction is they cannot kill without offering some opportunity for evading death.

to quote Ninja.


so i want to know if i can consolidate my points so i only have compulsion.
and this is a legit marvel character ability and is not god like and it is not killing
http://marvel.com/universe/Venus_(siren)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venus_(Marvel_Comics)

Power: Compulsion (10 points)
Catagory: Supernatural
Description: If heard can force the hearer to do whatever the sayer wants
Limits: You have to hear what he says. also he cannot force the character to harm anyone even himself. In addition if you are more then 15 feet away when he tries to initially compulsion you, it is ineffective. Also this power cannot be used over electronics

is that fair?

[Death's Kiss]

oh and this charrie as well is from marvel with the same ability

[The Ninja]

There is a huge difference between subtle suggestion and blatant mind control. And those points are baselines. A power will be at least its qualifying baseline, with more points added on as needed. Which is almost always the case.

If he is unable to force people to harm anyone, it is approved at 30 points. If you add the restriction that he cannot force someone to do something directly against their will (for example forcing a villain to stop his own evil scheme) it is approved at 20 points.

[Death's Kiss]

then could i do this for 10 slots?

Power Name: Shadow control (10 slots above)
Catagory: Supernatural
Description: The ability to cloak himself in shadows as long as there are shadows present, and he can temporarily blind people by stopping light from reaching them. In addition, he can travel from shadow to shadow as long as he could see the shadow from where he stood. Furthermore he can bind people with shadows and make them unable to move if they step into HIS shadow.
Limits: cannot harm the person.

[The Ninja]

How is it possible to break free of the shadow? Does the binding prevent them from moving at all, or does it just bind their feet to the ground, or what?

[Death's Kiss]

If they have to be touching my shadow, can it be up to a full body bind with no escape?

[The Ninja]

No, you would need many more points than that. Simply touching your shadow wouldn't be that hard to do, all you would need to do is get into melee distance of them and then they are completely helpless.

[Death's Kiss]

but its a 10 point binding power, its not killing and we are allowed to get god powers at 25 points. I fail to see why this is a great power, it is practically useless at night, and melee distance means that I could get killed.

[Death's Kiss]

Until further notice (as in we figure out how to balance my now pathetic power) im sticking with whats on my database

[The Ninja]

Everything is a shadow at night. A shadow is an area from which light is blocked. Darkness is the absence of light, not the other way around.

And if I counted the melee distance as a weakness because you could get killed, I might as well decide any melee ability should have a low point cost. I fail to see how there is any risk. You don't have to worry about their melee attacks because they will already be bound by the time they are in range.

A virtually foolproof bind is godlike and will be treated as so with a base cost of 25. With an addition of 5 points because it is so incredibly easy to use with so few restrictions.

And until further notice, you cannot use the shadow bind at all until we balance it out.

[Death's Kiss]

HOwever i can't use it at night cause it has to be my shadow.

Power Name: Shadow control (8 slots above)
Catagory: Supernatural
Description: The ability to cloak himself in shadows as long as there are shadows present, and he can temporarily blind people by stopping light from reaching them. In addition, he can travel from shadow to shadow as long as he could see the shadow from where he stood. Furthermore he can create shadow weapons with his shadow. these weapons act like regular weapons and cannot be cut. the amount of weapons he can make, and their size depends on his shadow's size and darkness.
Limits: he cannot make artillery weapons, such as guns and bows and arrows. however he can make throwing knives and shurkens. the weapons can be destroyed by a laser or similar light weapon. In addition, if they leave his hand, he can no longer control their direction, so a thrown shadow knife acts like a regular knife in flight.

Power Name: minor energy drain (2 slots)
Category: supernatural
Description: If he is within sight of a person, he can drain their energy into himself. While it drains energy from the other person, it heals Death's Kiss equal to the energy taken.
Limits: He has to see then, if the connection breaks it stops and the person is still conscious through this process so can fight. In addition, the rate is slow so it takes 30 seconds to heal a paper cut
