Mad Fnorder Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 Re: Skinning cats A slight twist on something that's already been done. 1/2d6 HKA, (Skinning Knife) with full IPE, plus Slight of Hand -18. No one's sure what happened, only you walked past that cat and suddenly it's skin was lying next to it... Or, Density Increase/Growth, UAA, does not effect target's skin. Make the cat fall right through/ burst out of the skin. Lastly, Summon (Skinless Cat). The skin has to be somewhere, now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garou Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 Re: Skinning cats You could skin a cat with any power - just add the limitation "Side effect - skins nearby cat(s), always occurs" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Active 5, Real 1. I really should just let this one slide, but this IS NOT DND. Expendible means that whatever you use as a focus is expended AS A FOCUS. In that build, you would need to use a different Earth for each use of the power, or somehow restore it's focus status, it does not mean that it crumbles to dust. Moreover, unless Earth could be taken away from you, it would not qualify as a focus anyway. Sorry, I do appreciate that this is a humorous thread, but this one pushes my 'sfx' button.

Sorry, I do appreciate that this is a humorous thread, but this one pushes my 'sfx' button. 1) If you're refering to D&D wands crumbling when the last charge is used, I hadn't even considered that when I was writing that. I was refering to the VERY old joke of using a power lim to get a gross/humorous incidental benefit. 2) In that vein, it could just as easily have been written instead of OAF as being "Side effect, destroys the planetary body you're standing on" (whatever that limitation would be, probably -1/2 or -1).

Thia Halmades Posted October 20, 2006 Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 Re: Skinning cats Ew. Not that mine were any better. Second Skin: The cat can shed it's primary 'skin' - i.e., the fur, skin, etc. - and it moves & acts independtly of the actual "cat" (the sinew, muscle & bone structure). Purchased as 'duplication'. OIF, Skin (the skin can be taken away or rendered inanimate), extra time (to shed skin). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comic Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 Re: Skinning cats Could do it as a martial maneuver. I'm not sure about cats, but you can skin a rabbit with your bare hands if you twist its hindquarters just right and use the radial fracture bone edge as a skinning knife. Very clean, quick, and efficient. Done right, the skin comes off intact (with head.. rabbit head is not good eating). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
