Ok, that took only about 20 mins. I bet future characters builds will be much faster.
Most of her points are being dumped into her Sorcery Omni-Power. She can replicate any other power in the book (within reason) but she must say the spell backward and she can generally only concentrate on one effect at a time. I might not have gotten everything 100% by the book, but I will try some other builds in the next week or so.
Make sure you check out the Prowlers & Paragons Ultimate Edition Kickstarter.
I am going to try some more over the next week.
Couple of thoughts for you.
ReplyDeleteYou can could go with Academics (4d), then give her (in the Powers section, as a Trained power):
Expertise (Academics: Occult) 8d
Also, instead of Situational, you'd call that Limited: Must Speak Spells Backwards
Cool!
ReplyDeleteThanks. Still learning the system.
I really, really appreciate you sharing these ideas, and thanks for the coverage, Timothy!
ReplyDeleteReading this, I really have the urge to create Zatanna in the Heroes Unlimited game system...either as a straight stage magician or as a wizard (not both). But what level would I use for her? Hmmm...
