megaplayboy Posted June 20, 2003 Report Share Posted June 20, 2003 I'm not sure wind resistance is a major factor vis a vis' comic book physics:D BUT, you could simply halve distance for unbalanced, and halve it again for non-aerodynamic objects...that way there's a limit to how far you can throw bulky objects...

jeddy Posted June 20, 2003 Report Share Posted June 20, 2003 This is an interesting discussion, what with all the talk of realism and such. However, not to be a drag, but how could ol' Hulk even swing a 60 ton tank in circles in the first place? I mean, the outward force of that thing would tear his hands off, assuming his feet could even find grip on the dirt. Unless he weighs 60+ tons as well of course. ;] We try not to think too much about realism in our games. If we can, we try and figure out how things should work. If it becomes a lot of work, or bogs down the fight, physics takes a back seat to what would be the most fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mad GM Posted June 20, 2003 Report Share Posted June 20, 2003 STR, x16 "KB", only for throws (-1)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterD Posted June 20, 2003 Report Share Posted June 20, 2003 I gave up on trying to do HULK type bricks when my calculator smacked me in the face and told me it will not be doable in 250 (now 350) character points to make it equal to HULK from movie, Tv, or Comic so live with it. Now instead of thinking how would I do the hulk I think What do I want my character to be able to do and how can I do it within character concept and character sheet.

Captain Xenon Posted June 21, 2003 Report Share Posted June 21, 2003 on the tank-throwing, i think its obvious from the way the hulk swings the tank in a 360 before he throws it, that hes using a haymaker throw. also, it seems the movie hulk has absortion (physical) which increases his growth (and therefore his strength). he visibly grows when shot with automatic rifles in one scene. the most reality-defying part of the movie is the hulks pants. they go from pants to shorts and back, and yet the waist still fits. what kind of super-elastic material is that?

Bob Dog Posted June 21, 2003 Report Share Posted June 21, 2003 I don't think the general movie going audience is ready for a pantless Hulk. It's something I could live without as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's something I could live without as well. I agree, save my poor eyes. lol. Sometimes I think people go too far with realism, this is comics!!! LOL When's the last time you saw an 12 foot tall green-skinned mugger in an alleyway? BTW did you notice in the one scene with the mutated dogs, that the hulk grew and turned darker green? Cool.

It's about time people in the industry started listening to the fans. Just think how much better the Star Wars films would have been if they did.

Arandmoor_Keet Posted June 23, 2003 Report Share Posted June 23, 2003 The 5e book has an example for "super-throws" Just take the flight power, add the UAA advantage, and a limiter "Only on what the character can lift" for like -1/2 or so... The hulk would have it at like 2" (more like 20"...but he only wanted to huck the tank 2 km instead of to the seaboard) with the megascale advantage...

Snarf Posted June 23, 2003 Report Share Posted June 23, 2003 They should've done product placement on the pants. Levis Mega Stretch! One size fits all! What's the best way to simulate more anger making someone more powerful? Absorbtion to fuel growth? Different levels of accidental transform?

Galadorn Posted June 23, 2003 Report Share Posted June 23, 2003 Originally posted by dbsousa as far as the pants go, blame the internet... USA Today Article Awesome. Jar Jar Binks needed to be done away with, to bad he wasn't. I think Daredevil was done fairly well. What do you folks think? Juries still out on the Incredible Hulk for me. I never like his comics anyway, too depressing and moody. I could only read them for so long. I'd give the movie a B or C+. Take Care.
