My bad. My FF is Grav/FF and talking about fold space and singularity had me thinking gravity. In that case I want a giant hammer created out of force fields to pulverize my enemies with.

Thanks for the comments.

I thought that you could have scaling DoT, since you can have multiple damage and damage types on an attack. I don't know the scale system well enough to guesstimate, but I think you could code an attack to do one point of damage, then two points of damage after 1 second, four points of damage after 3 seconds, eight points of damage after 4 seconds, and ten points after 5 seconds. During those five seconds the taunt would attract enemies. I'm assuming that an untargetable taunter would cause critter AI to close to melee range since their first reaction of attempting a range attack will not work, but it may just confuse the heck out of them. I suppose you could also have an invulnerable, immovable pet summoned just like omega maneuver, but with revised graphics.

I'm not sure what problems you are referring to with Omega Maneuver. I have found that it works as advertised. The problem is that most taunted critters open with a range attack and don't close to melee right away. Perhaps a short lived -range would do the trick.

I also am not sure what balance problem you are referring to with Phantom Army. While I agree they are powerful, I have never considered them overpowered nor heard the cries of others to nerf PA. My proposed Attraction Field does minor damage and is not long lasting. It would need recharge long enough such that it could not easily be made into a permanent power. For example, it could be designed not to accept recharge enhancements.

As for the cottage rule, you clearly have me there. This would certainly be a major revision to the existing problem. But sometimes you need a major revision. The Cottage Rule is self-imposed limitation, not one dictated by game mechanics or coding. If Castel and the rest of the team wanted to change it, they could. They've certainly already done that with gravity with the change from Fold Space to Singularity. And repulsion bomb went from a low damage knockback to a moderate damage knockdown + stun (not a true cottage rule violation but a substantial change nonetheless).

I also think that such a power would be very consistent with mastery over gravity.

I appreciate the number crunchers, but I don't crunch. I slap things together and see what works for me, or shamelessly use other folks works to figure out a tweak here and there.

But did anyone have a comment pro or con with my suggested change? (in other words, enough about you, lest's talk about me now )

See that! Convenient is constantly improving . . .

GG and Grats.

You dirty, dirty boy.

How could it be fair and balanced if it wasn't Fox news?

Since this Tuesday.

Sort of. The Item of Power has been redesigned as an individual buff instead of an SG-wide one. Anyone who completes the CoP can choose to receive an Item of Power + 6 merits or a straight 10 merits.

The Item of Power given to the individual is random but basically the same ones from the original CoP. The first time you choose the IoP you also receive the Power Liberator Badge. The personal IoP buff lasts 7 days and then goes *POOF*.
