phydaux Posted November 30, 2004 Report Share Posted November 30, 2004 I need help constructing a power. I'm trying to replicate the Goblin Glider (or the flying playing cards that the Royal Flush Gang use). Would you guys say it's a special effect, a focus, a clumsy focus or a vehicle?

Without actually posting stats, can you at least tell me if it was a special effect, a focus or a vehicle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Posted November 30, 2004 Report Share Posted November 30, 2004 Re: Goblin Glider It's referred to as "Flight Platform", and it's basically flight with focus and various advantages/limitations regarding END and how many people can use it. This build specifically omits "bulky", but it gives an SFX reason why, so it's probably reasonable to take Bulky as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Long Posted November 30, 2004 Report Share Posted November 30, 2004 Re: Goblin Glider If you want the "it's a gadget" version, pick up Gadgets And Gear. If you want the "it's a vehicle" version, pick up The HERO System Vehicle Sourcebook. Trust me, if there's one thing I can do, it's Halloween-shaped weapons 'n' stuff. Just ask Andy about my Hobgoblin rants sometime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawksmoor Posted December 1, 2004 Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 Re: Goblin Glider In general however I will have to go with the "its a vehicle" argument. Just because the Goblins are *good* at flying them does not infact make them a power. They are a vehicle. Hawksmoor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you say the same for the Royal Flush Gang's playing card flying carpets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawksmoor Posted December 1, 2004 Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 Re: Goblin Glider Yes. I would also make the same argument about Citizen V's flying wings. They are vehicles by standard definition. They are external machines that function primarily to get the character from place to place, That is a vehicle. Plus the Cards and the Wing are commonly shown carrying more than one person. That is vehicle territory. Gadgets are Mr. Miracles Aero discs. Or Falcon's wings, Hawksmoor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Long Posted December 1, 2004 Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 Re: Goblin Glider Shouldn't you be in England frightening citizens and impressing herophiles with 50 ways to build a pumpkin bomb? Well, I don't leave until Thursday. The only thing anyone really has to be afraid of is my actually getting my hands on some Pumpkin Bombs. Mad cackles of glee and various acts of destruction would follow. As for what I do with them in games, I'll let The Mad GM chime in. It's the origin of our local gaming saying, "You're a hero, you can take it!". Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OddHat Posted December 1, 2004 Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 Re: Goblin Glider I tend to agree. Would you say the same for the Royal Flush Gang's playing card flying carpets? I'd call those vehicles. If you don't have the vehicle books (both of which are excellent and worth buying) the Viper Air-Cycle is very easy to adapt for this sort of thing as well.

levi Posted December 1, 2004 Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 Re: Goblin Glider Also if you have Hero Designer, The Ultimate Vehicle book is available as a downloadable .zip file containing all of the vehicle .hdc files for a paltry $7! I got it for my birthday and I use it often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
