It directly says that in the Drop In origin, the person will be dropped into a random place in Brockton Bay. It is debatable whether USW is one of these or not and I just don't want to risk it.Īs for my opinion on path + origin. Cognitive powers seem like Thinker powers, like precognition, etc.

I have always thought that indirect stuff means, using Tinker powers to build a gun and shooting with it, or using Master powers to master bugs and attacking with them. It says that it cannot protect against indirect stuff and cognitive powers. I am not bothered by it because Genetics can be made up for with Panacea, Replication is not really needed (it can be replaced by Shroedinger) and the two thinker powers cannot be copied by USW anyway.Īs for Adaptation. The only powers I would lose out on are Replication, Genetics and the two thinker powers. If you check the contents of the vials, you will find that they have both Trump powers, Enthrallment and Nanomachines. This is not telling him to directly obey me, so it should work.Īs for the 10 point powers, I have already got all the important ones. Using Lawgiver, I would set the restriction that he has to use the power he has gained in a certain way I want. Here are my responses to your arguments. Just make sure you never look at a case 53, or someone whose powers have downsides, like Ash Beast or the three blasphemies, or Echidna. If 3_tankista ever updates this one again, they'll likely remove the 'copy powers permanently!' part, as without it, USW is a pretty interesting power, promoting synnergies with powers that let you safely spy on others, like Trance or X-ray vision.

Possible issues would be taking the Cauldron Path, but not actually joining Cauldron I'm pretty sure you have to actually do that, especially as all the perks that path gives relate to actually being a member of the organisation, rather than just agreeing with their aims.īut yeah, second triggered USW is stupidly powerful. Given power copying is both indirect (YOU get the new power there's no impact to the person with adaptation) and pretty much a mental action, I don't see why USW couldn't copy it you just need to make sure you see it being used (so lob a fireball at them twice, and watch it get nulified the second time and boom! Good to go). And those include some of the best ones.Īdaptation specifically excludes indirect or non-physical stuff like mental manipulation. The disadvantage? No 10 cost Trump, Tinker, Thinker or Master powers. What laws would you pick that force him to bring you with? Make sure not to leave any loopholes, or you'll get left behind an written out of history! Are you using Lawgiver to do this? It specifically excludes using laws to just make them obey you laws must be general.
