Overview

Discuss and document powerset article layout/rules.

General Layout

Overview

Brief description of who gets access to this powerset. The exact wording of this overview should be consistent across articles. Konoko keeps re-writing it on new powerset articles. Bad admin.

Also included should be an in game description of the powerset

Power Tables

Contains clear, concise table that describes the powerset. Can contain more than one for similar or identical primary/secondary sets. Must contain two or more if powersets differ in the slightest. i.e. Scrapper vs Tanker/Brute taunt power.

Tanker and Brute melee sets contain a power usually called Taunt that is a Targeted AoE taunt.
Scrapper melee sets contain a power usually called something other than Taunt (Confront mostly) that is a Single Target taunt.

This is cause for grief for Konoko, who would rather have 1 table with a note on the taunt power rather than 2 nearly identical tables i.e.2 Force Field

Defender and Controller Force Field sets are identical (except one is primary, the other secondary see below), while the Mastermind version has powers shuffled a fair bit.

Powersets that are exactly identical except one is a Primary while the other is Secondary (Dark Miasma, most Brute/Tanker melee sets) could be combined in the same table, however an exact method has not been decided on.

Powers

Expanded and detailed list of powers in the set. Most well established powersets have this list sorted in alphabetical order. Konoko would rather they be in level order, but this does not work on Force Field and most Stalker secondaries

Powers History

Optional section that could contain very brief description of changes to the powerset. See Regeneration#Powers History for example.

External Links

Most powersets are detailed on http://coh.redtomax.com/, however the layout of the website has changed. Other websites that detail or discuss the powerset could be linked to from here.

Categories

Not a section, but powersets should be in these categories

  • All powersets should be in the Powersets category
    [[Category:Powersets]]
  • Each powerset should also be in the applicable Primary or Secondary category for the archetype that use them.
    Example: Dual Blades
    [[Category:Tanker Primary]]
    [[Category:Scrapper Secondary]]
    [[Category:Brute Secondary]]
    [[Category:Stalker Secondary]]
