Steve Long Posted March 8, 2003 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2003 It's not necessarily either. It's generic comic book "force," as in the sort of thing generic force fields is made out of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Long Posted March 9, 2003 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2003 However, I did forget to post, in response to the question's mention of Cyclops, that the power I put in the book that's a version of Cyclops's eyebeams is listed under "Force Powers" for lack of a better place to put it.

Urklore Posted March 9, 2003 Report Share Posted March 9, 2003 Do we get to playtest this for accuracy and such? Also, I'd love to see elemtental form tyoe writeups. Specifically how Iceman's new pure icy form (where attacks simply blow through him or he simply freforms when shattered) would work out. This would also include things like the T-1000 from T2, pure water forms (like from Abyss), and such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would also include things like the T-1000 from T2, pure water forms (like from Abyss), and such. For Iceman's new forme, basicly it is a special effect as far as I know. Prehaps the power Desolid best simulates the T-1000 liquid metal and Abyss' liquid body (prehaps with Shapeshift). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Long Posted March 10, 2003 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2003 Do we get to playtest this for accuracy and such? The DH playtesters will get their usual chance to look over it. I expect the only "accuracy" checking involved will be review of the math, since I'm not specifically trying to simulate any real-world thing -- and even then, subjective considerations make checking the "accuracy" a questionable process at best.

Urklore Posted March 10, 2003 Report Share Posted March 10, 2003 EEEK! I met for accuracy, the typical things. Making things work, math, making sure powers fit in the proper frameworks, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Long Posted March 10, 2003 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2003 Hopefully I will have it ready for playtesters by this Wednesday, before I leave for Portland. I am currently doing my editing/math-checking pass. I think folx will enjoy the book. It's 150,000 words long, so it's got a lot of material (though there are still plenty of things I could add, if I had the time or wanted to make it bigger). In addition to lots of "standard" powers, I've crammed in plenty of more unusual ones, vaguely disguised -- Jericho's bodyjacking, Darkseid's omega-beams, Rogue's touch, a unimind power, a nifty little "Stop Dead" power that cancels the target's inertia/momentum, and lots more. The book'll probably end up being about the size of the Bestiary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Than you have done well, and you shall be rewarded. With me measly $24.95 or so, at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
altamaros Posted March 11, 2003 Report Share Posted March 11, 2003 I fear it's too late for a new power but : parasitic duplication : ability to duplicate self (really duplicate no summoning) by infecting other people (or corpses). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Posted March 11, 2003 Report Share Posted March 11, 2003 A uni-mind power? Awesome I was working on something like that last night. Now I may just have to hold up that/those characters and see if you've got a better take on it. Bring it on! I'm a character making fool lately. With this I'll be doing it twice as fast.

Steve Long Posted March 11, 2003 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2003 Nope, Wednesday's tomorrow. Today I'm still checking math. I'm about to start checking "Size Alteration Powers," and I plan to keep checking until I'm done. That'll leave tomorrow to get the playtest mss. ready and send it to Ben, and to prep for my trip to GameStorm and GTS while the playtesters start working.
