Rock walk: {Requires urban camouflage} When in use, Brick actually shares space with the material he has absorbed for camouflage, granting him the merged status, while merged he cannot be the target of direct attack or Aoe Unless it specifically causes damage to walls (example being demolition charges) in which his defense is treated as 1 for purposes of damage resolution.
With that I take it he'd actually be inside the wall? If that's the case I'd have to say it'd be an ability which would need to be triggered when he wanted to enter the wall, as this would take time and leave him possibly vulnerable for a few seconds while he did his
Merging. Only a cost of 2 Energy though, since it's a simply action.
I'd also say
Merged would cancel the
Armoured and
Weaponised status effect, since Brick would now be part of the wall rather than pulling parts of it away to upgrade himself. To counter that,
Metamorphic Rock would be automatically expanded to include
Merged so when exiting the wall Brick could choose to take a cheap action to bring part of it with him. He could also choose to use
Metamorphic Rock to enter a suitable surface, but since
Rock Walk would be cheaper anyway there wouldn't be much point.
There will be times when I may allow a targeted or AoE ability to still hit Brick while he's using this ability, but this will only be when it's situationally appropriate. For instance, a burst of fire strong enough to damage the building, a psychic attack which would be able to target Brick mentally rather than physically, a magical attack with the ability to target extradimensional opponents, etc. I'll give you hints when that's likely to happen though, so as not to leave you at a disadvantage.
Gopher Hole: Brick opens a small hole to trap a single limb (attack versus defense) if he succeeds, the enemy is unharmed but trapped, unable to ESCAPE but still able to attack.
No problem with that. Simple entrapment would cost 2 Energy.
Snakebite: {requires Gopher Hole} Brick opens a small hole to trap a single limb (attack versus defense) if he succeeds, the enemy takes the difference in damage AND is trapped, unable to ESCAPE but still able to attack.
As an upgrade to
Gopher Hole you could either spend Skill Points to add the effect to the existing power increasing its cost to 3 Energy, or take
Snake Bite as a separate power with a cost of 4 Energy.
Grave Plot: {requires Snakebite} Brick opens a large hole to trap a single opponent (attack versus defense) if he succeeds, the enemy is unharmed but captured, unable to ESCAPE or attack.
Since this would alter the effect of
Snake Bite, if you'd taken that as an upgrade to
Gopher Hole then
Grave Plot would have to be a separate power with a cost of 7 Energy, or 5 Energy if you put a timer on it (3 turns?) If
Snake Bite was taken as a separate power then
Gopher Hole could be upgraded with this ability instead, increasing its cost to 6 Energy, or 4 Energy with a time.
Either way there may be times when an opponent will be able to escape the 'grave' early through some special ability or technique.
Tombstone: {Requires Grave Plot} Brick opens a large hole to trap a single opponent (attack versus defense) if he succeeds, the enemy takes the difference in damage AND is captured, unable to ESCAPE or attack.
This would have to be taken as an upgrade to
Grave Plot, since it'd be too powerful to have on its own, and would increase the cost to 9 Energy, or 7 Energy with a timer.
Alternatively
Grave Plot and
Tombstone's costs could be reduced by 2 Energy each if you granted the captive a Defence bonus while they were trapped underground.
I thought you'd mistake me for 1 of those intolerant turd sandwiches who believe homosexuality is wrong and have the mods ban me.
I'd never bother mods with a problem like that. It's the reason I went to all the time and hassle of cybernetically upgrading the chihuahuas after all.
Anyway, I just took it that you were surprised I was married, rather than the fact I'm a raging lesbo dyke.
11 - Although I usually define myself as 'homoflexible' since I'm mostly into women but still occasionally play around with men. With open and honest permission from my fully lesbian wife, of course.
While we're waiting on
@Behemoth542 the team have a couple of decisions to make.
Firstly, do they want to keep Nightingale on the team, or would they like to switch her out at this point for Nightbeast or Fandancer?
Second, the front of the bank is well covered by the police but Flare discovered a rear corridor leading to the garage, the back alley, a staircase leading up and a third unmarked doorway. The team can head for any of these five routes in pursuit of the Gungirls and the information gained from the
investigations should give clues as to where they should go next.
