Glen Sprigg Posted March 2, 2003 Report Share Posted March 2, 2003 A Jeff Foxworthy tribute post. If Doctor Destroyer surrenders before announcing his dastardly plan... If Firewing starts chugging ephendrine before challenging you to battle... If Grond can't beat you in an arm-wrestle with two arms at once... If the Archmage/Sorcerer Supreme comes to your Fastness seeking your counsel... If Mechassassin turns down an eight-figure contract on your life because it's not worth the risk... If Black Paladin, Dark Seraph and Takofanes draw straws to see who has to fight you... If you feel that 'one VPP isn't enough'... If the Harbinger of Justice drops his nation-wide pursuit of Card Shark just short of your city because he doesn't want to intrude... You might be overpowered.

Derek Hiemforth Posted March 2, 2003 Report Share Posted March 2, 2003 If Istvatha V'Han decides your dimension just isn't worth the trouble... If you can fake out Menton with the Jedi Mind Trick... If you habitually refer to The Harbinger of Justice as "That pansy in the fedora..." If you can use Turn Undead on Takofanes The Undying Lord... If you round down your Speed because you only want a Speed of 11... If you don't need MegaScale... If Mechanon awards you an "Honorary Inorganic" certificate so he doesn't have to fight you... If you appeared in The Mutant File*... If you have to hold back when hitting Grond... If Doctor Destroyer wheedles you to just let him have the little town of Zerstoitenburg... You might be overpowered. * Sorry! Couldn't resist! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynamo Posted March 2, 2003 Report Share Posted March 2, 2003 If your team gadgeteer proudly displays his complete collection of past Mechanon versions...

Hermit Posted March 2, 2003 Report Share Posted March 2, 2003 If your most common line to Gravitar is "Who's yer Daddy?" If, for only five more points, your base subsumes the REST of Manhatten. If VIPER Nests collapse when you E-Mail them If the Empearyeans declare you their El Presedante for life! (they live a long long time) If your idea of 'making it sporting' is to lower down to a mere 18d6 If You have an always on megascale transform of 'Where I have trod becomes my domain', and you also have lots of running If When a mystery arises, you can't decide which psychic power to use to break it today, as you have them all anyways If you have taken 'Earth, 14-' as a DNPC, and the GM can no longer think of ways to threaten it. --you might be overpowered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaosliege Posted March 2, 2003 Report Share Posted March 2, 2003 If you tell your GM tha DD needs to be "pumped up a little" If you look at the stars and say, "yeah, I want that one", and then get it If when the GM says he's throwing the whole (CKC)book at you, he means it If Time Master doesn't have time to bother you If you keep your damage dice in a 16oz cup... and have to roll said cup-o-dice twice You may be over-powered....

Acroyear Posted March 2, 2003 Report Share Posted March 2, 2003 My character, Wavemistress, had two VPPs Well, one was sorcery and the other was gadgeteering. They are vastly different things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Liaden Posted March 2, 2003 Report Share Posted March 2, 2003 You might be overpowered if... You work out with Mjolnir for an Indian club; You don't like to commute from the suburbs, so you move them closer to town; Galactus spots you when he lands on your planet, and says, "Well, I need to lose a few pounds, anyway." The President of the United States asks you to disarm China. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keithcurtis Posted March 2, 2003 Report Share Posted March 2, 2003 You might be overpowered if You need to go to the Chessex booth and ask if you can roll ALL their dice every time your turn comes around. If you GM refuses to give you any points for "Hunted by CKC, 14-" because "A disadvantage that is not disadvantageous is not worth any points." Your costume symbol is a magnifying glass and a stop sign. Keith "and that's only my DNPC" Curtis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
