Re: Cassandra's Corner

I've got six players so complications are their responsibility to bring to the table

not much time is devoted to individual secrete identities

I had a player with a public id High Tower FBI

who took issue with travailing out of the United States on assignment.

Plantmatter ultimately made a bureaucrat roll

as the trip was to escort Orca (a super hero friend of Plantmatter and High Tower)

while he meet with Smither (wanted for murder geneticist) in Brazil.

The complication was presented by the player.

Re: A DC Animated-style HeroMachine

his back looks like a row of knuckles

Re: The Chessman - a re-write

depends on the number of other players I imagine

having less speed than the majority of the party just means one gets to play less

the pawns are followers but even so a lot of back work for the GM

though they won't always be n combat

it appears Chessman may not have a kings pawn

Re: The Chessman - a re-write

his x-wife

she isn't her pieces. she controls them

Re: The Basic Enimies Chalange!

The Team is Chessmania

Ego is the leader as she likes to control things

she had little trouble gathering together a team of super villains

zephyr, a live in the moment flying invisible thief (bishop)

LavaMancer, a petty wizard that can turn into a lavaman and move through the ground (knight)

Spin, this man was always spinning and consequently stay in place till ego moved him perhaps a case of ottism ( queen's pawn )

SheClaw, Lobster Woman mutant(Lobster side) does not speak a word of human (Rook)

Ball Lightning hot shot teenage rock star anarchist (king's pawn )

The crime ...

acquisition of smither

Re: The Chessman - a re-write

anyone can see the game beyond the power level

the problem with King is he thinks about each piece but not about the board

Re: The Chessman - a re-write

I can compare the characters attacks against it's defenses

I'm sort of stuck. If I beef up the defenses' date=' it will increase the Rook & King's defenses. The DCV is high (13), but I was hoping that would offset the low defenses. What would you suggest?[/quote']

 

roll with the punch

 

 

the characters only got 37 stun

 

raising the constitution to 28

 

I see 39/38 defenses for Rook with density. 12d6(42) attacks would scratch him most times

Re: The Chessman - a re-write

a 12d6 attack averages 42 which will stun the lower defenses 42-15=27 stun through

ofcourse a 6 spd can take being stunned

Re: The Chessman - a re-write

looks like a 12d6 game to me

is that the limit?

defenses seem low

cv high

do the knight and bishop have 13 dcv

Re: The Chessman - a re-write

if the gn don't like multiform, me wonders if the GM will like this

I didn't see the increased speed for the knight

Re: The fractured mind of the Chessman

hours as hero 2 hours each ? 8

hours at work 2 hours each ? 8

looks like each has a secrete identity

Re: The Chessman - a re-write

give the rook running only in a strait line and a move through

give the bishop flying can not land (2 m radius spin flying clearance that includes the ground)

give the knight short range combat teleport with clairvoyance and a horse with the same

Rooks shouldn't jump

multiform write ups can be simple

I like the king and his pawns as an egoist

Re: The Basic Enimies Chalange!

there isn't

I found eidetic memory for 5 points in talents in 6th

-1 limitation covers single sense

I counted that as 2 points

This attack disrupts genetic mutations to a specific genetic target and generally only affects effects one target unless two targets in the area share a specific genetic mutation. It is especially vicious as the attack lingers continuing to drain over the turn as long as the target remains in the area

Re: The Basic Enimies Chalange!

I like the clairvoyance and telekinesis of the other

I also noted the speed change on Duplex

________________________________

homosporous ferns are polyploids so ideal for storing dormant genetic code

layer upon layer of inactive sequences copied

it would take a pig to sniff out gene sequences

and thus Fern the bush pig (half fern / half pig) was created

to root out, digest and save genetic material.

.

Fern is also able to release gas that can drain mutant abilities

if Fern knows the genome of the target mutant

Fern is a 100 kg pig with ferns growing out of her back. If sitting sill, she may be mistaken for a large bush. Fern can change the color of her leaves to blend in to a particular vegetable environment

perhaps electricity with electrical magnetic fields

I understand that deflect reflect requires an action so perhaps extra speed

True - which further devalues the impact of that Unified Power limitation, which is why many groups won't allow both Unified Power and Power Defense. Again, a matter of group taste, especially when the character isn't immune to a campaign standard DC drain.

just don't count the power defense for the drains vrs the unified effect

Selective Area if Effect attacks can make agent battles pointless /!\

Re: Blip final version

I've seen missile reflect teleporters (change the direction of incoming attacks) by opening gates

I could see this applying to hand to hand combat

Re: Blip final version

6 I like the mechanic to allow misses between hits with multiple move by

any decent mentalist is going to be a 7mocv at least, which a 15- to hit a 3mcdv which is a 93% chance of hitting

lowering it to a 17- roll(99%) is only a 6% change in odds and the 12 pts are better used elsewhere

besides learning how to defend and resist are viable options w/ exp

er...

there are 216 combinations when 3 6 sided dice are rolled

here are the possible combinations for rolling a a 15 through 18

18 : 6 6 6 (1iterations) total 1

17 : 5 6 6 (3 iterations) total 3

16 : 5 5 6 (3 iterations) 6 6 4 (3 iterations) total 6

15 : 5 5 5 (1 iterations) 6 6 3 (3 iterations) 4 5 6 (6 iterations) total 10

on a roll of 15- or less, 18, 17 and 16 are fails

which is 1+3+6 = 10 possible combinations for failure

so

10 combinations out of 216 possible die rolls on 3d6 fails

10 / 216 = 0.0462962963 of the time

succeeds

1 - (10 / 216) = 0.953703704 of the time

Re: Blip final version

Not sure what exactly the "Slow Explosion" is doing, SFX-wise. If she's teleporting two different objects (presumably, either things she carries with her or objects of opportunity) into the same space simultaneously to cause the explosion, then I'd think it would have a Focus limitation on it.

 

Does said power do anything to the objects that are trying to occupy the same space at the same time?

I think the slow explosion may be a spatial distortion wave

I think the limitation damage over time
