Outsider Posted April 30, 2006 Report Share Posted April 30, 2006 Re: A phaser in hero I suppose the vampire cloud in "Obsession' would be counted as having desolidification given it;s ability to throw itself out of sync with time to avoif being hurt by phasers' date=' photon torpedoes and to pass thru shields, but would have to phase in to feed, thus making it vulnerable to an huge antimatter charge, which is what photon torpedoes are, incidentially.[/quote'] The desolid proposed was more of the 'they just never seem to get hit' special effect, than them actually being cloudy or out of sync. Its the reason the main characters never get phasered to death, but do get into lots of fist/nerve pinch fights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outsider Posted April 30, 2006 Report Share Posted April 30, 2006 Re: A phaser in hero In one episode, a renegade trek captain reportedly killed hundreds of attacking primitives and drove off attacks against a village with just a hand phaser. Since spock found 'remains' of hundreds of yangs, we assume the captain wasn't using the demat setting all the time, tho he offed one of kirks people with it. Primitives with melee weapons only, as far as I remember. It'd be a whole different ball-o-wax if the primitives in question had bolt action rifles.

keithcurtis Posted April 30, 2006 Report Share Posted April 30, 2006 Re: A phaser in hero Just for nit-pickiness: They sacrificed hundreds just to draw us out in the open. And then they came ... and they came. We drained four of our phasers,and they still came. We killed thousands, and they still came. Keith "You'd still think that even arrows only have to hit once.

Foxiekins Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 Re: A phaser in hero If an object has too much body (a mountain, for instance) the phaser should dematerialize an appropriate portion of it. Gene Roddenberry stated in TNG writers bible, that a phaser rifle is "powerful enought to kick Los Angeles into the ocean". He also went on to say that we were unlikely ever to see a phaser rifle. Keith "I know I wouldn't like to" Curtis If it wasn't a phaser rifle, then what WAS Kirk using at the end of "Where No Man Has Gone Before"...?

A sit it'd be tought o get that kind of power in reality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamashii2000 Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 Re: A phaser in hero 480 points?!?! Holy xxxxing sacred mother of god, I'm barely into the 5e rulebook and I know that's more than most characters cost! A while back (in digital hero) Steve long created a power that could stop and rewind time - if made into a machine (focus limitation added) it would cost someplace around.... 5000 points Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
