Three of your team were beaten unconscious by the blue stuff that grew out of that container in the back of the fridge. Hey Oddhat dont knock the stuff that grows at the back of the fridge. That stuff can whoop @$$. I think it stalemated with Jack Bauer one time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're playing a Captain Marvel type, and your wizard (an SF fan) gives you the wisdom of Gaius Baltar. It's your best power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supreme Serpent Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 Re: Your PC's might be underpowered if... In a Sailor Moon crossover, you lose your first fight. To Luna. You're playing a Captain Marvel type, and your wizard (an SF fan) gives you the wisdom of Gaius Baltar. It's your best power. You're playing a Captain Marvel type, and your wizard gives you abilities based off of the various "Saved by the Bell" characters. The abilities are not the strong suit of the characters. ex: "Strength of Screech" Your "superpower" is the ability to be twice as tall as Emmanuel Lewis. Your power is the ability to show up positive on all drug tests. The closest thing you have on your character sheet to a combat ability is "KS: Thumb Wrestling" The closest thing you have on your character sheet to a combat ability is a typo: "Ultraviolent Vision" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
