Split Decision

Re: Adamantium discovered cooooooooool

Re: Unmaking This doesn't strike me as a no-win scenario. There are plenty of "no-win" scenarios in comics and RPGs, and heroes go ahead and win anyway, like they never got the memo. To fix time problems, you need time solutions. Coax Victor von Doom out. He'll sort this mother out in no time with his time machine, and my hero would owe a favor to one of the worst people in the world! There's some grist for your gaming mill. I'm really surprised that all these thoughtful people are angry that this sort of thing might come up. Don't we, through our heroes, cheat metaphorical death all the time? Isn't that the meat and drink of superheroes? As I read somewhere: When Captain Cold freezes Batman in a solid block of ice, does the thought balloon read, "My chances should be better than this!" And as I answer: No, Batman busts out with the Bat Heat Ray and melts the block of ice, just in time to stop Captain Cold from crushing Comissioner Gordon and Robin beneath a giant frozen dinner or whatever. And bigger calamities require bigger solutions, but superheroes always find them. --- Now, if the GM won't let you get around a problem, then it's time to pull the plug on this particular subplot until you can figure out what you did to him to make him so sore at you.

Re: Oh She with the Prehensile Hair Can't She make her hair grow on command? I think her hair probably shrinks and grows between 3 feet and 20 feet, depending.

Re: Useless Hero Facts how many levels to be as dense as a television news reader? Fruit cake? Calculus text book?

Re: Who is your Taskmaster?

Re: Who is your Taskmaster? The "choose your lims" part is shorthand for "I don't want to think about the lims at the moment". And certainly you can add whatever skill you want to permanently buy buying it! Most of the time though, you can simulate a lot of different combat abilities with the same Martial maneuver, or whatever. I'm so glad this is legal.

Re: Useless Hero Facts what's a neutronium?

Re: Not a Dream, Not an Imaginary Story! I had no idea this would lead to such remarkable scenarios! Balabanto and Lucius, very very clever.

Dr. Hickory-Dickory goes on a 24-hour crime spree. What crimes does he commit, by the hour?

Re: Oh She with the Prehensile Hair Yes, Stretching works both ways.

Re: Who is your Taskmaster? that's surprising!

Re: Who is your Taskmaster? VPP, skills only, choose your lims. Not book-legal, but it fits the bill.

Re: Oh She with the Prehensile Hair No, just go with the stretching, and handwave it. If someone used a killing attack targetting the hair, she might have to take some time to regrow it- like, next adventure or something. But that's just table talk. I don't see the necessity for statting it.

Re: A Box of Evil Tricks? No, she's just a name on a list. Names that need a character sheet and background. I'm not all that attached to it, it's just on the list.

Re: Mystic Hero in development Your mileage may vary, Assault

Re: Super-Skills Megathread IIF: News source of opportunity (-1/4) Inobvious because nobody knows where the next lead will come from.

Re: Help .. I need help writing up this power Sean, I agree with that mechanic, but it seems unusual in that it's restrictive in a meta way. Would you allow a Lim or Disad to mandate the XP expenditure? And Happy Birthday, sir

Re: Mystic Hero in development That's pretty darn strong. Invisibility + Multiform + 45 PRE in a multipower... that's like stealing. His defenses being low are a good compensation. Wizards are supposed to be glass cannons unless they're solo adventurers. It's a trope.

Re: Funny thought: Plot seed Yeah, there's really no physical way for the heroes to excape without losing their dignity or gaining Hunted: Everyone Nice 14- ext, at the very least. Great scenario for kill-happy players!

Re: Laughing Gas I still need to spread rep before I can rep Hyper-Man again.

Re: Who is your Taskmaster? Bwa ha ha good call

Re: Who is your Taskmaster? I think I will call the Taskmaster... Simple Simon. And his "school" will be called Simple Simon's Revenge Squad. I'm trying to flesh out a top-notch rogue's gallery for a hero. Who this hero is, is still up in the air. I have some ideas. But I think his rogue's gallery will mostly be nursery rhyme themed. If you can think of any catchy names which evoke the sentiment of Babes in Toyland crossed with Fight Club, please help me out. I have an exhaustive list, but some of the names on it don't immediately lend themselves to insta-characters. So, it's tough going. Another question: Is there a copywritten superhero or villain named The Glider?
