It's not fun when I'm being told to go stuff my character down a recycling bin, either.

I'll nerf her, but I'm not compromising on immunities. At all. If you want to make me remove them, tough beans.

Maybe just make her normal-powered and give her good gear?

Again, spoiler reasons. The reason I put it in there will eventually be very obvious and very logical in hindsight.

And I'll end this argument here. I'm not going to change Penelope because you don't like her skill set up or the fact that she basically uses the skills of everyone else in the game, kj. She does not and CAN NOT outshine anyone. Unless you can prove she can outdamage Mio and Chryssa, tank more than Aesford or Anna, heal more than Motya, or just plain out not die like Garnt or ItE and do it all at once and better than they do it, she does not change unless I feel like changing her, end of story.

There. Argument over. Resume your discussions, everyone.

- Her diplo bonus only works on civilians. So it won't work on criminals, won't work on officials, won't work on anyone actually important unless they happen to BE civilians who are not otherwise criminals, government officials, superheroes, etc.
- Ian survives as long as she does, actually, with Phazon Survivor.
- x1.2. And her other boost roll doesn't stack with her base boost, which only applies to melee weapons (so if she picks up a gun, no damage boost) And when the shit are we going to use a Strength Roll?
- There is a very good spoileriffic reason why Penelope has so many immunities and I'm not obligated to go tell you what it is right now. I've spoken with San about it.
- Also, there's a HELL OF A LOT OF OTHER DAMAGE TYPES she's vulnerable to. Mio could just punch her in the face and she'd curl over instantly, Sandra can actually kill her with Fleshlance and so forth. Hell, most of the protagonists can actually hurt her anyway, let alone most of our enemies.
- Furthermore, everyone's gotten four or so loot drops by the time Penelope joins. I HAVE to make her strong for level 6 or she looks shitty in comparison.

So, for various reasons, Penelope makes sense. She's a little powerful, but considering we have the likes of Chryssa and Mio, she's not that strong.

Gave Penelope some nerfs, although why you expect a level 6 character to lack strength I don't know. She's even missing a perk for Christ's sake

Journalists kick ass, yo.

I dunno
Maybe her universe is a cheerier AU without a requirement for Soul Gems?

contagion/penelope confirmed

Kina motions to one next to her foot.
