Markdoc Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 Re: Blowing Up Prootwaddles, or Character Self-Destruction Well' date=' I wrote up Boggies, so Proots can't be that much of a system stretch.[/quote'] I'm pretty sure that Boggies were the inspiration for Prootwaddles. The language used to describe them in TFT is faintly reminiscent of the introduction of Bored of the Rings. cheers, Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveZilla Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 Re: Blowing Up Prootwaddles, or Character Self-Destruction What? You had a big dish of baked beans? No, that would be a *chemical* hazard, not nuclear. I just had a thought. I should make a CoH character that uses Radiation powers and give it my handle.

SCUBA Hero Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 Re: Blowing Up Prootwaddles, or Character Self-Destruction Oh' date=' and speaking of an exploding character... I've done it as a Triggered No Range RKA with AOE: Explosion, 1 Charge, Never Recovers, and the Side Effect of Character Takes Full Damage. Since you get no defense against Side Effect damage, it'll pretty much kill the character if you buy the right amount of RKA dice.[/quote']I'll need to look up the file for Surge (from the DNAgents); I *think* I wrote it as a Physical Limitation, but not sure...

SteveZilla Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 Re: Blowing Up Prootwaddles, or Character Self-Destruction That is also a viable alternateive. I was just trying to think of the cheesiest way to maximize the explosion. If it is part of the "regular build"' date=' its points take away from what is available to build the "rest of" the character. While a Multiform does that to, it has (iirc) a 5:1 reduction in cost to go along with it, not to mention being able to take all of the "non-explosive" CPs and put them into the explosion power.[/quote'] Okay' date=' that makes sense. I thought you were inadvertantly being overcomplicated when you were actually intentionally min-maxing. Thanks. That's one I never would of thought of.[/quote'] And not only that, in the Multiform you can also *sell back* stats to further inflate the Explosion Power! Sell back all but one Body, and the poor, poor Prootwaddle is (pretty darned) sure to die! Since it is a Zero Range AoE, sell back all but one DEX!

Susano Posted August 15, 2010 Report Share Posted August 15, 2010 Re: Blowing Up Prootwaddles, or Character Self-Destruction Having dug out my copy of The Fantasy Trip: In The Labyrinth, here's my quick and dirty take on Prootwaddles. Presuming the character starts with a 10 in Primary Characteristics -4 INT -5 EGO -2 PRE -1 OMCV -1 DMCV -2 BODY -2m Running Distintive Features: Prootwaddle; bizarre attire, slogans painted on the body, cry of "Proot! Proo-oot!" (Concealable, Noticed And Recognizable) Negative Reputation: Harmless Annoyance (Very Frequently) Physical Complication: Dull Witted, "moronic" (Frequently, Slightly Impairing) Based on the text, they have some skills related to hunting, gathering, gambling, and living in a forest domain. They also might have a Psychological Complication defined as "rapid mood swings" as they are known to be quarrelsome and unruly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
