Spent a goodly amount of time this weekend continuing to march Mr. Ravenous and Charity at Home up to travel powers (14) and SF eligibility (15). Marched them all the way up to 13, in fact, which was quite nice.
The two of them are going like gangbusters. Charity contributes shields and heals, backed up with some nice debuffing attacks, while Mr. R. takes the baddies apart. I took Dull Pain at 12 and have hit it only once since then. Biggest problem I have at the moment, besides desperately needing Stamina, is status protection — stuns from RIP billy clubs and knockdown/back from shotguns. I need to carry more purples, but beyond that …
… well, I realize I keep trying to design Mr. R. as a Tank, which he’s not. He’s not even a Scrapper. He’s a Brute. So defensive powers (the Invuln side of things) needs to take second place to More Attacks. Except, at the moment, I’m stuck in the drive to travel powers and Stamina — plus Unyielding, to deal with those status issues — which means I can’t take another attack until 22, which just sucks.
Here’s what I have (planned thru 44) for him so far:

The 40-plus stuff is provisional to whatever the Epic powers turn out to be for Brutes.
I’d love to get Knockout Blow earlier, but just can’t see where to fit it in.
I was fairly impressed by how well Mr. R, Charity, and Ven did last night. Other than one death with Charity, we pretty much rocked.
Also nice was that there were now End issues since we tened to clean up the mobs in short order.
Have I mentioned how much I love Seeds of confusion? And that I love that we get XP for them gak’ing themselves?
Having Ven along definitely helped with the mob controls.
We *do* get XP from the Confused folks? Wow. Are you sure about that? That doesn’t happen with Psi-clone’s single-person Confused (Deceive)!
Nope…
We get XP from from confused folks. 🙂 It was one of the things that PoChaos Girl has *very* strong feelings about.
But, yeah…watch the XP tally next time and you will see things like Lambert of Light defeats Lambert of Steel: 31 xp, 35 inf, 3 prestige.
I guess that it is the same power that Psi controllers get as their last power…again to PoChaos Girls annoyance.
It is the reason that i love Seeds of Confussion. Mass confusion, they gak themselves, and I get the sweet, sweet xp. 😀
Psi-clone pouts …
