It's totally up to you. Either way it wouldn't make him as overpowered as some of us, so it's all good.

If you take into account the sheer overkill most of us can dish out, even summoning one powerup at a time will be rather lackluster, if it's random instead of according to the situation.

Suppose you can actually choose the powerup you'll run with, the limitation being that you can only use one at a time... Kind of the same thing you do with the shapeshifting. How would that impact your power level? Also, can isaac in game combine more than one item's effect?

Is it too late to add powers? I've got some pretty good ideas for one I didn't put on.

You'll be just adding the specifications of the moves... I'm not aganist it, and you really should put a "WARNING: Haki User" in there.

I will do if it's fine with GMs, as it's basically just willpower.

It dependes on the item. 80% of time yes. Only a few items negate the effects of others. I prefer the second option, because it don't seem like cheating to me. But I think I could use the first by writing a list of what powerups I could get. I just need to think of some that aren't the same from the "shapeshifting".

Say what and I will answer.

Haki. Can be used to sense people nearby and incoming attacks, can block attacks with willpower and infuse attacks with it to make them more powerful.

I don't see why not. Sabrac can erase things from existance, so that might be as well.

I'm actually thinking I should probably make it more clear that Sabra's physical stats are on the level of Charles Atlas Superpowers, since he isn't restricted by physiology. He pretty much is only limited by how much control he has over his flames of existence, and that is a LOT.

I can't actually do that normally. I can either let my body go completely out of control and waste a large amount of power for total destruction of the area, or I can summon my body and pretty much eliminate my ability to move/attack for temporary invulnerability while I disengage from the fight.

Ta. Do I need to add it to his character sheet?

Marco also has pretty good physical stats. In fact most people in One Piece do.

Wait, I forgot to mention that are basically four kind of items on the game:
- Permanent Items: Passive effect and stackable unless one of the items nullifies the other, but even then there are some exceptions;
- Trinkets: Passive non-stackable (unless you have Mom's Purse). Can be changed, with the exception of one;
- Activated Items: One at time;
- One-use items: One at time.
But I might as well give Isaac a backpack. I'm thinking of making him the Team Pet (but like Chopper), so he would carry everyone items.

It would be good. Also, "Ta."?

It means thanks.

Hum... You could just go collecting items as we go (yay for lampshading). And have all of them in the backpack. Endgame, you have nearly everything you could want... You just pick them up and fire. Switch to the next and fire and so on...

Even if you have infinite items it's not very likely that'll outshine Sabrac, Marisa or Marco in sheer property destruction power.

Yeah, I was thinking of something like that. But Isaac can get pretty powerful.

Post done. Apparently being an electric mouse pokemon makes one hyper. Who knew?

Yay! Isla blew more stuff up! ^_^ Everyone prepare to be like, "Where the hell did that weird Sabrac dude go?" and then suddenly I come blasting down the mountainside having a badass sword duel. That's up next time I get a turn, unless I see a better way to join into this...

Marisa, meanwhile, is not going to be happy to see creatures that are, to her, really puny Youkai killing Humans.

Did you know that spell cards like my massively destructive laser spam from before are what Marisa uses when she tries to limit collateral damage?

Also, did you know that Marisa was a character in series even before the spell card system was developed, meaning she has quite a few existing attack patterns for me to use that hold no such limitation?

And finally, did you know that those attack patterns include Orrieres Solar System, Stardust Reverie, and the Master Spark?

...

Stuff is about to explode, ladies and gentlemen. A LOT of stuff is about to explode.

We're near trees. I can see a forest fire coming.

And wouldn't explosions have a danger of hitting the slaves?

You know... When you talk like that I really want to pull off a Megidolaon somewhere Marisa can see... Just to see her reaction.

OK, have fun blowing stuff up guys. I won't need you to leave anything for me this time around, so go wild. ^_^
