Re: [HOE] more Junker ideas

["Kai Tave" <kaitave@harborside.com>]

I dunno.

The only way I'd say he could "reverse engineer" Brain Drain is if his
device stole Strain directly from the Doomsayer/Syker/Martial
Artist/Whatever.  What he wants is something that can stop an Atomic Blast
in its tracks, then convert it into Strain, and while that sounds
cool'n'all, that's not quite how Brain Drain works.  If the, say, Doomsayer
casts an Atomic Blast, it's now an Atomic Blast, not free-floating Strain to
be caught.

Another question I had was this; if he DOES come up with such a power, it
seems awfully prone to open abuse.  It might cost some drain to use, but
successfully used, it gives you drain BACK.  Hmm...

My best compromise would be to create a seperate power that simply allows
the Junker to make mods to weaponry which cause Strain "leakage."
