Actually, I think I'll use Justyce again. Maybe I will even find a picture of an androgynous person this time.

Hah.

I'm still Sol and I'm using the wikia pic. Uhhh...



There we go.

Could I play as Athena: Goddess of Wisdom, Strategic Warfare, the Arts, Craft, Skill, Law and Justice.

WOAAAAH, SLENDY, Don't you think you're over extending yourself?

All of us are gods of one/two things, maybe three. Plus, Justyce is the god of law and justice, unless Mole isn't using her.

Please don't try to have TOO many things to control.

And the characters that are resistant/immune to "mind control" would just shrug it off and kill them with ease... My main concern is that someone with that ability set wouldn't last very long. Arty's nearly immune, the overlord probably doesn't even have a normal mind to control, Thinker's character can move past any manipulation before it takes effect, and every other character has a will of iron that lets them shrug it off. In fact, almost all of my characters have some form of anti-telepathy skill or ability, just to highlight the fact that it's nearly useless in arena combat unless it's OP. Even for characters who aren't resistant or immune, it's extremely difficult to call accurate "damage" because we have no baseline to go with. With abilities that have a physical manifestation, we usually have a real world example of the damage they can do so we use that and either scale up or down.All that said, I'm certainly not against mental powers so long as they're not OP (mind control is still a no, but mental manipulation is a possibility), but unless they are OP they have very limited usefulness and a specialized character isn't going to last long.

Good point. Back to the drawing board...

I would turn it down personally, but that's only because I've tried it.

...You've had sex with yourself?

...How'd that work? Time travel? Alternate Universe? Fanfic?

I don't have a problem with mind control if it's effectively being incredibly persuasive. It's weakness would be that when it gets seen through (as in the decisions they are feeding you are figured out to just put them in a better position) then it loses all effect. That doesn't mean that you can't have it used on you again, but your character will then be questioning every move that they make to try and find out if it is actually their decision to do something.As for mindfrays.. whats the actual logic behind them? Because if it's a headache that gets worse the weaker their target is, and effectively acts like a debuff, then I'm all for that. It'd need to take quite a bit of concentration to use though: you can't use it while doing something else at the same time.So then effectively, that kind of character would find a place to hide, and make another character their "champion", feeding them thoughts that keep them away from them and on their side, while mindfraying everyone they fight to give them the best chances.To balance that, they'd probably have to be mediocre at actual combat?

Yes, most likely.

Mindfrays decrease will and aim which can lead to Psi panic, making the opponent weak mentally and susceptible to mind control to plant very, very persuasive thoughts in their head to avoid this certain spot where the mind controller is hiding and defend.

To balance this out, mediocre in real combat. But if mindfray and psi panic has been used on the target...
