Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

Nevermores in Vale...

Well apparently one of the four safest places on the planet is a lot less safe than I thought.

Well that's cryptic. So cryptic in fact that I'm not sure what you are talking about.

I thought Diplomacy 101 was "Speak softly and carry a big stick?"

Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

Like I said, Ebon is good at what he does. I chose his powers and abilities so he excels at what he should be doing, even if he doesn't do it properly himself. Even so I've already nerfed his telekinesis and telepathy to the point that they're only good for himself. he can't use his telepathy to read someone else mind unless they're not fighting (Allowing him to work without duress) and his telekinesis is what allows him to use his R-Types in the first place. His shield allows him to carry his drones and gives him something to work with when the enemy inevitably gets passed his drones. And the R-Types themselves I chose specifically because no one else uses a weapon like them. Instead of trying to be skilled with one weapon, Ebon's strategy is overwhelming you with many smaller ones.

What do you think I should do with him? Remove his R-Types, leaving him to bash people with his shield? His telekinesis, so I'll have to make up some other reason why he can control his R-Types? His telepathy, so he can't use his R-Types without constantly having them in sight and removing their function as scouting tools?

And while you're critiquing Ebon, maybe you should look through the CS and give everyone else a look too. I'm sure Ebon isn't the only one that managed to slip under the radar.

You could try putting this in his profile instead of the "Reads the minds of everybody around him in an instant." that is currently there.

You could also change how many drones he has in his shield. Even with Remnant's crazy folding tech you are not going to fit a hundred of those things on there. Certainly not while keeping it usable as a shield.

And you could totally get rid of his telekinesis and still use the drones. Just say that they have a built in propulsion system and are told what to do via his telepathy.

Did you cite that quote? We need a proper MLA citation.

@Onarax

I may have...borrowed it from a friend.

Ruby beat Pyrrha's team. Weiss was the first down and Yang was next.

<Snipped quote by Prince of Seraphs>

Maybe if they didn't fight creatively. Ebon still lost to Gren because he tried to engage him in melee and my fight with Shadow, which we never really finished, wasn't looking great in his favor either. Ebon tends to lose because he's not fighting smart and letting his R-Types soften up his enemies like he should.

@Ryonara

Character power level does not get nerfed by character ability unless specifically noted in the profile.

I'm comparing his power more along the lines of what students like say, Weiss or Yang can do. Beacon isn't a school where you learn to be a hunter: Everyone is suppose to already be skilled in fighting and their semblance. We shouldn't all start off like Jaune who barely knows what a Semblance is.

@Ryonara

You mean the team that beat Pyrrha's team?

What Remains - a freeform Sci-Fi Fantasy NRP

Yeah, that's kind of what I figured. It seems a bit odd to play as a species like that. A bit hard to get proper interaction when your guys don't care about everybody else.

Your civ though. I'll be interested to see how you do it.

Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

Ebon's good at what he does. Wouldn't want him to enter Beacon barely able to pull off his winning shtick.

@Ryonara

Considering that he would be a new student it's kind of expected that he starts with somewhat less power than a second year.

Seems like a bit of an odd choice for a game like this.
