Maccabe Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 Lets assume that a "Santa type" being exists and would bring your character a gift from his shop. What does your character say that they want? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermit Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 Re: WWYCD/W:The gift Aquatic: "A sexy wonderlicious costume for my girlfriend, but don't tell her." Banner: "All I want for Christmas is to make three tactics rolls in a row, Santa." Comet: "Five minutes to talk to my dad, for real. And let him know I'm sorry I didn't come to see him before he died." Doctor Sanguine: "Dear Santa, as you are clearly from Fairie, I would like the gift of a magical object from you so I might continue my quest to become the new Archmage" Gaze: "Falco's head on a platter. What, oh right," *sigh* "Forgot who I was talking to." Mole: "Brand new state of the line electric guitar would totally be cool." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dreadnought Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 Re: WWYCD/W:The gift The term "Rolling Dreadnought damage" to be a positive one for once. (Whenever I play Dreadnought my luck seems to vanish. My group started calling it Dreadnought damage during a session where I consistently rolled 30-35 stun on a 12d6 attack. I think the highest I did in the sessions was 45 stun, but that was on a 20d6 move through!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hfergus Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 Re: WWYCD/W:The gift Volt- I have every thing I trully need, unless you can get rid of my arthritis. Olorin "Can you give me a map to my home dimension or otherwise allow me to travel back and forth from there and here? If not can I have an I-phone?" Black Tiger "Santa. Right. Pull the other one." He doesn't even trust Santa - or is that especially distrusts Santa? Futurian "All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth. Really, I dunno. Hmmm."

Darkfire Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 Re: WWYCD/W:The gift Darkfire: hmm she already has gained the magic of the fay, Daemonic , and Divine so Santa probably can't help with the last(plus it would wreck a main story arc) besides Darkfire wants to make Archmage on her own. So she'd probably ask to see her parents alive in front of her, this time she would not make the mistake of giving in to her hatred and killing them outright. she'd do it right, and trap their spirits so they could be tortured and killed again and again. Failing that the original copy of "unspeakable cults." Ironhide: the love of a good (immortal would be nice) woman. John O'Malley II: A week of peace and quite. also for untroubled sleep.

drunkonduty Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 Re: WWYCD/W:The gift Knight Rider: A truly gorgeous gown.

Lord Mhoram Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 Re: WWYCD/W:The gift Meeb - a replacement overcoat, hat and groucho glasses for his Glurb Burble ID - his current ones are wearing out. Black Cat is something of an ascetic, and she has everything physical she needs/wants. She would probably ask for something nifty (a really nice slinky dress, or somesuch) for her best friend Gibraltar; alternately she might ask for something really nifty (and expensive) for Thunderstrike. Ballistic would want a bigger and better lab (both a magical one and a mechanics one) Angelfire would want a bigger/better recording studio for the band.

Hermit Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 Re: WWYCD/W:The gift There is a story behind this' date=' I am sure. . .[/quote'] Banner, a character I play in Bill's Avengers Next Generation campaign on HC, is the son of Captain America, and currently chairman of the Avengers. He had a tactics roll of 12-, but also 4 overall skill levels (High powered campaign) which often gave him up to a 16 or less. Yet time after time, tactics rolls failed. I bought it up to a 13-(17 with levels), but it didn't help much. In fact, it seemed almost EVERY time to fail (That's not true, once I made it exactly). Much like Dreadnoughts damage dice, when I roll for Banner's tactics, it consistently sucks. It got to the point where it was incredibly disheartening for me, and I once considered scrapping the character because of bad die rolls (It wasn't just tactics, but that was the one area where it was consistently bad) that were frankly making me feel like any character concept involving competence was lost. If I ever run another son of type for Avengers Next Gen, I'll just make a bull in a china shop type character and not worry about what comes.

If I ever run another son of type for Avengers Next Gen, I'll just make a bull in a china shop type character and not worry about what comes. Yes! I'm not the only one who ran into this problem. Phew! My problem was I rolled so many 14's that I went from amused to amazed to less-than-amused to concerned to aghast to depressed to getting-ready-to-throw-character-out. Yes, it stopped after awhile (after I bought that Overall level). The other players and GM knew about the problem and a few times let me reroll... of course, one time the second roll was a 14 as well. Anyways, regarding a gift, one of my characters might wish for a bowling ball so he can drop it on a villain's foot. He's goofy like that.

Balabanto Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 Re: WWYCD/W:The gift Well, most of my characters would ask for coats for the homeless or food for the starving.

Banner's other rolls tend to be OK (and his Conversation/Persuasion rolls in the current arc have been stellar), but Tactics? I figure it's because the shadow of his father looms so large, he blows it just because of nerves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
