Yansuf Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 The following post was made to the questions area. "Day6000 Incompetent Normal Umm Naked Modifier? I do not understant that at all or how to use it. Do i even want to? Thanks" It occurs to me that the poster may have thought "Naked Advantge" referred to having an advantage for being naked. I have seen some suggestions that for "hot chicks" being naked (or near naked) counts as armor, as an explaination of why in many fantasy pictures the female warrior is only wearing a chainmail bikini. In the "Modesty Blaise" stories this was actually used. What do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erkenfresh Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 Re: "Naked Advantage" How much should the limitation "only while naked" be worth? I'd say probably -1/4 or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRavenIs Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 Re: "Naked Advantage" I think that -1/4 would be about right. I actually did it once for a all female villan team. They did get certain powers only when they were naked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BNakagawa Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 Re: "Naked Advantage" a looooong time ago, a little (at the time) company called Gainax came out with a computer game that had (female) martial artists who got more powerful the less they were wearing...

The Weapon Posted October 4, 2006 Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 Re: "Naked Advantage" And of course there were "Bulletproof Nudity" rules for cinematic campaigns in Gurps which made partly or fully unclothed people (especially females) harder to hit. The cinematic rules also had the best name for a rule I've ever seen the "Imperial Stormtrooper marksmanship academy" rule, which stated that when the players were fired on from surprise the first volley always missed, landing close enough to let them know they were being fired upon, but never harming them.

The Weapon Posted October 4, 2006 Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 Re: "Naked Advantage" If it's "all the time' date='" I think you're the one with the Advantage.[/quote'] But is it "Extra Time" Or "Sticky"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean Waters Posted October 4, 2006 Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 Re: "Naked Advantage" Two things: 1. The thread is about naked ADVANTAGE, and there have been several suggestions for limitations. Naked Advantage is almost certainly a PRE attack, of either the Woah! or Yeurg! variety, depending on concept, with the proviso that the total effect cannot exceed your COM or, -(negative COM) - a -1/4 linked limitation on the power, perhaps? 2. Has anyone seen the enthralling RPG (snigger) Macho Women With Guns? Magnum Opus, with the emphasis heavily on the Magnum (or should that be magnae, that being the feminine plural nominative, if I recall right. Actually you probably ought to use the vocative, or even (further sniggering) the genitive) Right, that is quite enough from me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
