Clarification on Possession
Posted: Sat Jun 19, 2010 10:40 pm
Hi,
The Mind Control power has this note:
Normally with Mind Control, I get my panel (which I can use to issue an order or do something else) and my controlled subject gets a panel too. Anytime I want to issue a new command, it takes my panel and there is a new roll to see if I succeed.
How does that work with Possession? Do the normal rules apply, and we still get two panels (one panel for each of us) even though we're now in one body, with new rolls every time I issue a new command?
Or is the possessed subject effectively unconscious and I just use my panel to move in his body? I could see that because there's one body, one panel per page, and I just use his Brawn instead of my own? Is there any mechanism for the possessed subject to break free (other than waiting until the end of the issue)? Maybe the limitation of just one panel is balanced by the opposed rolls no longer costing me my action, so there is a contest of Minds as a free action in any panel I do something contrary to what the host wants?
If the normal rules apply, is there a way to do the second version where I'm using his body and Brawn, with a single action per page, etc.?
Thanks!
