    I support bacon-based initiatives.

    Well, you could have posted this in the Player Questions section, as it's a Question directed at the Players.: http://boards.cityofheroes.com/forumdisplay.php?f=579
    But, no one there could answer if they knew.

    You can always PM a Dev or a Moderator and see how that works out.

    Does it need to be End Expensive? I guess if it's going to be low-tier, then it have to have trade-offs, though. Like having a poor End:Range ratio, particularly a worse End:Range:Time ratio than the full-on travel power so that it doesn't become a full-fledged travel power.
    I'm thinking how Hover and CJ are the combat versions of Fly and SJ.

    Dangit!!

    I want to be able to pop about in combat, repositioning whenever I want. By having it be a limited form of the Travel power Teleportation, it would have a shorter range (making it less suitable for long distances), but cost less per jump. This would make it more usable in combat as you don't pay as much per jump.

    My inspiration was the Rikti Headman Gunner, TP'ing about and popping up behind me or up on a ledge to fire at me.

    While I haven't used TP as a travel power for a while, I was annoyed at it when I did. I hated the brief hover-time at the end of each "bamf" if I was in combat, particularly as a melee type. But for getting to the end of a zone (barring stopping to pop blue pills), the hover-time was useful for getting a quick reposition of the targetting reticle.

    Actual range and endurance numbers could be worked out later.

    As for Steampunkette's line about these all being Tier 4. Maybe, some of them I dunno if they should be Tier 4 or earlier.
    I think that the "added power" in a pool should be rated by it's value, and put into whatever tier it deserves to be.
    Or...if we want to add nothing but "top tier" powers as new powers, then buff them to where they deserve to be rated that high.
    Personally, I just want to round out the sets, not neccesarily add "MOAR POWER!!" to everything.

    Superior Teleport - Click, Teleports you to any zone on the side your currently on, prior charge up time 15 seconds, interruptable, Recharge: 90 seconds
    I think there's a lot of powers that you could put into teleportation other than this. I'd go with a "Combat Teleportation" Much shorter range (and corresponding lower End Cost!) and no hovering at the end.

    In general, I'm in favor of "deeping the pools", even if I'm not terribly enthused with some of your particular suggestions.

    When you only have four choices, they will never be more than a rough guide. They'll never be written to fully encompass a detailed character's motivations, so pick what sounds closest, then fill in the blanks by using your bio field.

    Yeah, I prefer the old 9-point D&D alignment chart.

Does each Hami see the other as a kindred spirit? Is the bigger threat a cross dimensional Hami alliance?
    Who knows what truly lurks in thier hearts and minds?

    option 1: "Hey, we have similar goals, let's team up and kick butt!"

    option 2: "THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!" *glomph*

    option 3:
    "So, Hami, you know what I miss?"
    "What, Hami? Having opposable thumbs? Cable Television?"
    "Gettin' my freak on, dude."
    "Um, get away from me, dude."
  19. With multiple costume slots, you can go both with and without a cape.
    I thought a cape looked silly when using the Sands of Mu attack, but I tend to have a caper on at least one costume.

    Fighting Desdemona, her Tier 3 demon looked a little bigger than my Assault bot, for what it's worth, but not by a lot.

    I believe that the fashionable answer to this is to blame it all on Flippers and complain that the Casual User is totally priced out of the market because of them and can't even afford the lowliest of Knockback IOs for his Warshade.
