Power Variants

While being lost in my confusion, and thinking over my desire for liquid powers, well... I suppose it occurs to me that 100% new powers are a bit too much to ask (at the moment at least), but what about edited versions of existing ones?



Shadow Embrace looks like tendrils, and those could work as an infernal power too, perhaps. I could see a version which matches the way other infernal stuff is colored, maybe a little translucent, poisoning enemies and... well... I'm not sure what else it'd do. Maybe someone can lend a thought? Advantages n' whatnot? There could even be lava tendrils, which might seem odd, but it'll fit someone's style, I'm sure.

Quicksand is the most liquid thing I see here, aside from Lifedrain. It should be easy enough to edit to look like a toxic or lava-like liquid. It could even perhaps be altered to look like you're spreading ice across the ground.

Defile can look sorta lava-like if colored well. Could be an interesting extra fire ability, though we've already got Fireball, so... I guess that one's pretty redundant unless one starts brainstorming more lava abilities. Then again, more optional variants never hurt.

Some of the summons here and there could be redone like minions made of pure fire or lava.

Infernal Supernatural powers are already pretty much poisonous evil/dark flames, so Fire Shield could be copied as the block the set's lacking... though I suppose one could also just use what exists.

Regular and colorable versions of various abilities the Roin'esh use would be appreciated as well, particularly that knock-to power, and the maintain. They can fit in with the Infernal Supernatural powerset for the time being, if not put into a separate set, like how Laser Swords and Power Armor were. No stranger than Martial Arts and Fury of the Dragon, right?

Also, if possible, translucent and colorable versions of Ooze Tunneling and Roin'esh Transference (yes I know there's already a few Ooze Tunneling powers but it's a matter of style and concepts), along with perhaps glowing variants, would be neat as well, good for all sorts of themes. Maybe someone wanted their fire-based superhero or creature concept to be able to melt down into lava, so they could then go with Glowing Ooze Tunneling. Alternatively, there could be advantages which change the appearance, like Venomous Breath becoming Locust Breath.



A number of these thoughts might seem redundant, but they're about giving people more options that might better fit their concepts visually or damage-wise rather than having to use existing powers that might not work as they'd like. You gotta admit, a lot of powers would be more interesting choices if you had an alternate skin option or could change its element to suit a build, right?


Please post any ideas you come up with as well.
