Defiance: Giant Growth

acrosscatacrosscat Posts: 0 Arc User
edited June 2013 in Suggestions Box
Just as it says on the tin. This thread is for the suggestion, to have Defiance given a new 0-point advantage, namely Giant Growth, as per Brick/Enrage and Supernatural/Aspect of the Bestial.

Why? Well, thematically speaking, actual pure tanky characters are lacking in means of growing, well, big. Especially the Mountain AT, craggy giants such as they may be, or other characters that may crib from the 'I only get stronger as you hit me more' trope could benefit from looking, well, bigger.

Mechanically speaking, Defiance is, like Enrage and Aspect of the Bestial, subject to stacking counters, up to six of them, so it could and would grow in the same increments of Enrage and Aspect of the Bestial.

But Cross Cat, would this interfere with other powers?
No more than Enrage or Aspect of the Bestial already do. In fact, it might even be nice if the Enraged! stacks of Enrage/Aspect of the Bestial could add up to Defiance's Defiant! stacks!

But Cross Cat, that could either break the sizing and scaling mechanics, or make things too silly!
Well, ultimately, that'd be up for the (small) dev team to decide, if they would consider this at all. Or just have Giant Growth only ever count up to 8 stacks. Still, upwards to fourteen stacks of defensive and offensive buffs translating to character growth... a cross cat can dream, right?

    Actually Defiance stacks only to 6. I know, the principle is the same, and I'm not disagreeing that this would be awesome. Especially if they could make the Growth Effects stack between Enrage and Defiance. Pardon the expression, but that would be huge :wink:

    Technically, free form heroes can already use giant growth, but /signed anyway. It would be nice for the free players to get a little bit more.

    To be fair, it's all about Defiance also getting a little cosmetic perk. That the freebies get a perk (haha) out of it is only the cherry on top.

    Why stop there add some cosmetic effects for other stacks.

    Shining Eyes (Concentration): Your eyes shine more brightly the higher stacks you gain.

    Burning Eyes (Focus): Your eyes burn more hotly the higher stacks you gain.

    Burning Fists (Focus): Your fists ignite more fire the higher stacks you gain.

    Aura (Manipulation): Every stack increases the magnitude of the aura around you.

    While certainly a nice idea, kindly put such up for another thread eIvrU.gif
