AmadanNaBriona Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 Re: 50th Post Piercing (from Champions III) used to be a power that subtracted the Piercing value from a target's defense (and Piercing had to be bought against a specific defense' date=' like non-resistant PD) [i']before[/i] the effects of the attack power that Piercing was associated for. Hmmm... these days, I'd probably write it up as a Suppress, and use the Standard Effect rule (though there is probably a better way to design it, if I look closer). While I was originally gonna just comment of the stench of gravemold (some serious Thread Necromancy goin' on here), I fell it's worth nothing that Piercing does exist in 5th edition. It returned in Dark Champions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(If too many more old powers & advantages come back we might start seeing those 3d6 Armor Piercing/Piercing/Penetrating RKAs again.) Thank'ee for the information, these days the game is almost as bad as D&D in that there's always something one missed in yet another book somewhere.

CTaylor Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 Re: Best Pre-5th Edition Material? I hadn't seen that yet either, I liked piercing as a concept. I liked the old -1D6 to knockback rolls advantage too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew there was another location they could be found at, but it just wasn't gonna come up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireTiger Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 Re: Best Pre-5th Edition Material? I took a look at the 5th ed. version of the power, and the only real change is that buying Piercing vs. Flash Defense got a little cheaper (3 pts per point, instead of 5). I had seen the article in Digital Hero #13, but had forgotten about it by the time I got myself onto these boards. (Oops) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metaphysician Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 Re: Best Pre-5th Edition Material? Did someone mention Watchers of the Dragon yet? Because they should. Awesome sourcebook/adventure combo. And it centers on Seeker, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
