Rock and roll themed powers?

[Jeivar]

I'm throwing together a cheesy, cheesy system based on post-apocalypse pulp nonsense and heavy metal album covers.

The players can choose from different "types" they can sink points into to get special abilities. The types include Mutants who get freakish physical attributes with advantages and flaws, Warriors who are Conan-esque OTT melee warriors whose special abilities don't work unless they're wearing loincloths or bikinis . . . and Rockers who channel the power of metal through their electric guitars. Each type gets four or five different abilities, and I need something appropriate for the Rockers.
What are good superpowers for a rock-themed character? I already have a bard-like ability to inspired allies by playing and calling lightning down from the sky by shredding for a full round. I need at least two more.

Remember, I'm going for total cheese. :smallsmile:

The power to shred some riffs so full of awesome that even the baddies will want to flick their bics.

The primary ability of the Rocker is to create mystical Constructs, depending on the strength of the Rocker working on the construct it can be different things. These Constructs always appear to be made out of Metal.

A simple Rocker attack is the "Shred". By rocking out on a guitar, the Rocker creates a storm of razor-sharp blades which speed from the Rocker towards their foe like a razor wind. More rockers working together can create longer lasting-more powerful constructs.

For example. Five powerful Rockers playing together (The Band), supported by up to a thousand low-level Rockers (The Fans), could sing a song about an unstoppable cyborg viking killing things with it's chainsaw laser axe. As they did two things would happen. First, A laser-axe wielding cyborg viking would appea and begin killing things with it's laser axe, secondly a barrier would appear, surrounding the concert. The only way to get in would be to defeat the Construct, or to be a Rocker yourself.

While I have nothing of my own to contribute, I will direct you towards this little number (http://miscellaneousdebris.sitesled.com/gamefiles/ktattoo.pdf).

That's from the old thread, so it might be outdated. Here (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?p=15557492#post15557492)'s the current thread's version.

Nature mages need access to a spell called "Guns and Roses"

Warriors can Rage (Against the Machine).

Personally I'd be a lode bearer.

The reason is that they are a gramarist.

Being a warforged master of metal, on a flying stage, playing a lyre of building tirelessly and creating 30 mins of labor for every second that passes.

That labor could create anything you think would befit a rock god.
Think metalocalypse without needing the cult and the money. The epic landing stage monument just forms under you at high speed, you land perfectly flush into it and then hit your hero points and action points and go for an epic check.
