Re: Limitations on Combat Skill Levels - same as the attack itself? I am hesitant about treating skill levels like powers unless they are conceptually powers.

Re: Limitations on Combat Skill Levels - same as the attack itself? if a reduction of effectiveness of a power a skill refers to should limit the value of the skill, then we would have skill levels in 2d6 HA costing less than skill levels in 4d6 HA. IMO this leads to silliness.

Re: Limitations on Combat Skill Levels - same as the attack itself? IIRC the smallest Skill Level that can be treated like a Power is a 5pt level

Re: Using a D20 in 4e, i've encountered 'taking 10' but not 'taking 20'

Re: Kill the Dude with the Thing I'm inclined to agree with you.

Re: to hex or not to hex Why isn't the range divided into -1 penalties instead on -2's anyway?

Re: ADVANCED PLAYER'S GUIDE II -- What Do *You* Want To See? I have an alternative interpretation for SPEED that shoudl work for more Heroic games. each 1/2 phase takes one second. so ones combat move is how manymeters you can move in 2 1/2 phase seconds. Speed is a measure of combat readiness. So someone of SPD 2 spends 2 seconds in useful action and 4 seconds figuring out what to do. using this interpretation, the maximum SPD would be 6. This would indicate a recalculation of non-combat speed (SPD 2 chars would be x3, SPD 4 => x2, SPD 6 => x1)

Re: 6th Edition Brick Hows this for an idea: allow a character, at the cost of (say) 5 appropriate skill levels, gat a boost of speed for one turn.

Re: A note on starship design: the engines point down. why not invent wide flat engines (that is - narrowest in the blast direction) after all, we probably aren't talking about spacecraft that have to be streamlined
