Talk:Power Cosmic (3.5e Flaw)

Like that NES game?

I remember there being a Silver Surfer game being developed by LJN wherein the Silver Surfer dies from one touch from anything. You touch the ceiling, you die. You touch the wall, you die. You touch the floor, you die. Too far to the left, you die. Too far to the right, you die. Die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, DIE!

Addendum: LJN didn't develop the game, but that isn't saying much; it's still Nintendo Hard.

It is indeed based on that joke. The power cosmic is the SS's actual power, which make him one of the strongest character in Marvel (in the heyday anyway, these days power creep turned everything upside down). Still the serious side of the flaw is the idea that a mortal attempted to gain incredible cosmic power and was just left as fragile as porcelain as a result, all for a simple bonus feat. --Leziad (talk) 14:15, 10 September 2017 (MDT)

Would it be alright if one DM wanted to make this either a 2-feat flaw or even a "3rd flaw"? BTW, in my games, I might allow for a "3rd flaw" if said flaw is extra steep. HB Forged (talk) 10:27, 11 September 2017 (MDT)

Sure, I don't see why not personally. --Leziad (talk) 10:46, 11 September 2017 (MDT)

Make one of the feats Diehard, and this is more Trait than Flaw. Which is perfectly fine, since saying you attained the Power Cosmic can make for some fun times. Especially if the DM rolls with it plot-wise, and it comes up again if you gain any sort of godhood. -SecondDeath777 00:09, 7 November 2017
