TechnoViking Posted December 30, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2004 Re: The Legion Thread Doesn't it give them life support as well? ' Unknown, in the last Legion series it did, but in the classical Legion period life support was provided by a "Transsuit". We will have to waited and see.

Lord Mhoram Posted December 30, 2004 Report Share Posted December 30, 2004 Re: The Legion Thread Coolness. I loved the issue as well. As a fan of SF superheroes - new legion, GL coming back as a GL corps, Starlins' Cosmic Guard.... I'm really enjoying my comics right now.

Hawksmoor Posted December 30, 2004 Report Share Posted December 30, 2004 Re: The Legion Thread Don't forget one of the classic purposes of the Legion Flight rings. It enabled the user to match the flight of another wearer. That is to say if Superboy was wearing his flight ring, Invisible Kid II could match his speed.

Hawksmoor I think that is gone, in fact it looks like you can no longer use superspeed with a flight ring. Notice Ultra Boy running (not flying) at superspeed on page 6.

Sketchpad Posted December 30, 2004 Report Share Posted December 30, 2004 Re: The Legion Thread Either that or he just hasn't figured out how to The Invisibility to Radio groups ... shouldn't that be expanded to detect-specific invisibility?

HeroGM Posted December 31, 2004 Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 Re: The Legion Thread It hasn't been shown that the current rings match the speed of others so I'd keep that out until they show it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Champsguy Posted January 1, 2005 Report Share Posted January 1, 2005 Re: The Legion Thread I'd bump up his stats a little bit, and give him some Combat Luck. IMO, superhero physical stats should usually be, at a minimum, in the high teens. Combat Luck is just an easy way to explain why they don't die.

Benzini Posted January 1, 2005 Report Share Posted January 1, 2005 Re: The Legion Thread OK, now WHICH Legion are we speaking of here? The latest by Mark Waid? Or the previous incarnation, lost in the Time Trappers void and 'almost' saved by the current incarnation of the Teen Titans? I LIKE the new incarnation, (even though it's only had one issue so far) and the little bit of 'difference' this time 'round. For example: ***************************************************** ***************************************************** ***************SPOILER WARNING!!!*************** ****************************************** ***************************************************** Collosal boy wants to be called 'Micro Lad', since he comes from a race of giants and his power is to shrink to 6'5". Also, what we use today as the 'LOSER' Gesture is a 'Legion' salute!!! I love that.

assault Posted January 1, 2005 Report Share Posted January 1, 2005 Re: The Legion Thread But... Invisible Kid *did* die! Yeah, but it was a case where his Combat Luck didn't apply. He wasn't just zapped by some random mook. Or, come to think of it, maybe his Combat Luck did apply, and he died anyway. After all, he was fighting *Validus*. In Mike's writeup: is his martial arts legal? Aren't you supposed to buy a minimum of 10 points of maneuvers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Champsguy Posted January 2, 2005 Report Share Posted January 2, 2005 Re: The Legion Thread I liked the first issue. The "Micro Lad" scene was funny, even if it was a throw-away gag. I'm worried that they'll give in to the temptation to go dark in this series, and I hope they avoid it. It's been pretty good so far.

Dr. Anomaly Posted May 28, 2005 Report Share Posted May 28, 2005 Re: The Legion Thread I've got some Legion character write-ups on this page. I've got notes on the rest, but not as completed write-ups. The way I did the flight rings were as vehicles. It made certain things a lot easier. Of course, each flight ring was insanely expensive. So as a "GM" fiat, I did the following: 1) Figured out approx. how many flight rings had been created: Legion members, Subs, former members, rejected but "worthy" applicants who received rings, honorary members, lost & destroyed rings. 2) Applied the "+5 points = x2" rule until I reached the number of rings I'd determined in step 1. 3) Divided the total cost (base flight ring cost + multiplier cost) by the total number of rings in existence. 4) Charged each character who had a flight ring the point cost determined in step 3 as their "donation" to the cost of the "flight ring pool."
