Hmmm…well I’d say that a powerset like that would probably keep the Zenith graded at the very bottom. But if the enhanced scenes were Daredevil/Wolverine level, allowing you to never be surprised, and even assisting you in avoiding attacks, the Zenith could probably bump up to a 2 or even a 3 if they really honed their combat skills. But yes, there would be a cap.
Also, keep in mind that Mega Cat drafted the Zenith Power Guide. The Smarts and other heroes might disagree with his approach.
I’ll try to post what I believe is the high/low range for the Ouch Meter at the end of the fight scene and I’ll review the data in the thread to see if anyone hit either of those.
The low Ouch I calculated before posting the link might be impossible to actually accomplish if it requires stat checks that no one archetype can accomplish.
Ranged characters feel very weak. another problem is descriptions often give no hint which stat you are going to use.
Another problem is the thugs dealing as much damage as wywern.
id nerft thugs to 10 when grabbing the rifle and 15 when getting shooted.
and 15 when flying. this gets you to 40 Ohh rather that 60 and makes would make it feel more organic.
I personally prefer the hero names Scythe, Illusionist, Red Beetle, Jynx. Granted these aren’t used in the story but they are still my favourites whatever you may think .
It’s impossible to pick out names that will satisfy thousands of people. I picked a few that I liked and then moved forward. Most people want to create their own name anyway.
