Re: [ORE] Mass Mind Control

I agree that the extra you want is not range, but area; range would let you affect one target who can hear you as long as (s)he was inside that range.  To get *everyone*, you need an area centered around that target.

If you want the area to always be centered around the PC, then the range can be very short (you could even allow touch- or self-only, though I wouldn't as a GM).  This would be, for instance, a tent-revival preacher who is charismatic over the radio and has broader influence, but can *really* blow the crowd away when they see him in person.

On the other hand, with both range and radius, you could broadcast from the comfort of New York and start riots in the streets in Chicago (centering the radius from a point in that city).

Radius, Within Hearing, and possibly Range could really make for an interesting bad guy, now that I think about it.  Some kind of Kingpin/Adam Worth type who manages everything from behind the scenes.  Once the players find him/her, the baddie could collect an ablative meat shield of civilians for a handy moral conflict going into the final fight. Thanks for the idea!

Thank you for your suggestions. Was basing "on hearing" on the "on sight" merit which states the target still have to be in range, even though that range need not be line of sight. Will take your advice on Speeding Bullet, it may be overkill.
