Ronin's Public Workshopping Thread

Sounds like a T1000.

I think I'd probably drop Inorganic Body. It's nice, but it's not key, and I don't think it's really worth the keyword manipulation anymore.

Liquid Metal having a 'no LEAs' clause feels redundant with the first power, and like it's stepping on that power a little bit. I'd drop that.

I do think the first power should retain some kind of movement-themed name, since that's more what it's doing.

Still looking pretty solid to me overall, though.

[Karat]

But is that strictly needed? I feel like it loses a lot of utility and theme if we use some sort of movement title. I'd be alright with dropping Inorganic Body as I almost didn't include it but it is a nice flavor touch so I kept it for draft a.

Yea, T, i feel like both powers could easily be used for a Terminator.

[IAmBatman]

Yeah, I think one thing that's "off" about this one is the first two powers are covering the same thematic territory in overlapping ways. I think I'd rather have a single power that represents her malleable liquid metal body, or at least break up the powers based on turn phases more.

[Karat]

Could easily roll the first clause in Liquid Metal to Malleable Form. Then it would likely work just fine.

{Edit} Looking at it closer its actually already a part of the first power...consider it removed

I’m very interested in Liquid Metal being a reusable power for at least Mercury (Metal Man) and the T1000.

Why not just have her not get the auto-ahield when defending against an electric attack. Seems a lot simpler.

I would like to see Liquid Metal keep the LEAs clause just for reuse’s sake.

That does work, I was more basing it off of Fire Weakness though.

FIRE WEAKNESS
If Martian Manhunter is on a lava field space, he rolls 2 fewer defense dice and 2 fewer attack dice.

I'd just drop the Malleable Form part, give her a Mercury Burn power or something to get the auto-wound in, and the fully flesh out Liquid Metal Body as something that's reusable for all three places we want to use it.

Except she's not actually made of Mercury

[IAmBatman]

OK. So she doesn't "burn" anyone then? Just jabs them with her body?

That's the gist of it I believe, yea. Kinda like how Fantastic turns his arms and hands into a Mallet. At first I was going to just represent it as a pure climbing/phantom walk hybrid.
