Well, at least there's not a full moon out tonight. Then, it is giant monkey time.

 

Which makes me glad that Susano diden't port that power over for Kayli. Can you imagion a 150 foot high female humaoid cat on a rampage? And, heven help us if she is in heat!

Well... Kayli should look like an anime catgirl, not a humanoid cat. Sort of like one of the Puma Sisters in fact... except with a tail... and gray skin.

And no, no giant cats on the night of a full moon... I don't think people would have swallowed that power.

Sorry, can't read Heromaker files.

Oh... a certain scene where our hero gets ... in touch... with herself.

can you send methe character as an rtf ot text file?

To susano@guisamre.net

Oh, and I read the all of them comics upto the current one. It gets pretty *wrong* at times!

Obviosuly, I have to read this webcomic!

... really good illusions. As in, "I know I can hear you in front of me telling me that there's a clear path right in front of us, Mike... but all I can see is impassable jungle" type illusions. These are normally used to send people around in circles ala "Blair Witch"... among other things. Perhaps you should keep this as a 'common ability'?

That sounds good to me. A lot of the write-ups get optional power listings, and illusions are fairly common. Of course, I know have the question of "which 'Philippine supernatural creatures' have this in common?"

And the book is due out in January of 2004.

These aren't special effects, they're just names or slogans. There's a difference. Has anyone ever bought a power with a limitation "Does Not Work Against/Only Works Against Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night"?

Point. I should have made that "Best Power Name."

I must tell you winterhawk that I agree with you fully on this. I have even toyed with the idea if introducing her in to the campaign I GM just so I can have the players kill her.The odd thing is I really can’t put a finger on where this hatred comes form.

I suspect its due to the nature of her powers. She's all high-and-mighty on the side of (her perceived laws of) justice, but her punishment is akin to eternal torment. She also punishes the good along with the bad, *and* her punishment is descibed as escape proof. So she really doesn't have much sympathy going for her, and one really ends up wanting to shove her into "Duress" so she can see how it feels.

I think the line from Hard Boiled went like "You think you're god just because you have a gun?!"

Maaaayyyybe.

Heh... here's some from some character's I'm developing for either Digital Hero or maybe an e-book.

These are all for the HK "killer" character. I'll just list the SFX and let you all guess at the powers (don't want to give too much away!):

God Of Guns

Far Cooler Than You Will Ever Be

Just Soaks Up Bullets

One Gun = Super-Man

Two Guns = God

These are for a scattering of characters. Once again, all you get are the SFX names.

He Is, After All, The Hero

Martial Arts: Self-Developed Tennis Style

That’s A Big Gun

Veteran Chambara Samurai

Play Guitar Like A Mother-Luvin' Riot

You could also buy a large HKA with the limitation "Only To Disable" and (maybe) "All Or Nothing" and link it to a small HKA. Possibly treat it like a venomous bite with "(Smaller) HKA Must Do BODY" or some such.

Re: Weapon Familiarity & Weapon Element

So which does she need to purchase to use them at full efficiency with her full OCV and DCV? Just Weapon Element, or both?

In my opinion? Both. The WF means she knows how to use the weapon. The element means she knows how to use the weapon with her specific martial art.

Now, if she bought the weapon with points, then she doesn't need to buy the WF, just the element.

I haven't read ....any of the new Champions stuff so examples of special effect names is pretty limited for me.

 

However, my players have some nice ones:

 

"May Maggots Pour Forth From Your Eyes"

And what does this do?

So.... in a one-on-one fight between the Kayli and Vegita, who would win? My money is on Vegita, but only because he is far cooler than anyone else in the setting, with the possible exception of #18.

Well, considering my "toned down" Vegita is around 1200 points, and Kayli is around 750.... Vegita cleans Kayli's clock in about a turn.

Ah, if only it were true

Yeah...

oh, and for all you NINJA HERO fans, Kayli the Destroyer was not, I repeat NOT meant to be a pastiche of DRAGONBALL Z. Nope. Not at all. Not one bit. No way, no how. I mean, would I lie?

Several excellent quotes from Derek's traditional "Challenge of the Superfriends" at Kubla Con last Saturday night (and if you weren't there, you must be a commie pinko subversive or something.)

Don't blame me, I was out getting pie.

One of my all time favorties comes from the Byrne run on the Fantastic Four. The Thing versus Terrax (after being revived by Doom).

The Thing: Now nuthin' baldy! If there's one thing I can't stand, it's a super-goon a makin' speeches!

A close second has to be virtually all of Mongul's lines from the Superman annual "For The Man Who Has Everything" written by Alan Moore and drawn by Dave Gibbons (before WATCHMEN). The comic is packed away, so let me paraphrase:

Mongul: I understand distinctions on this planet are made according to age and gender. So to be polite, which of you should I kill first?

Mongul: Is that a neural impactor? Do they still make those? You should use the plasma projector, it's lighter, more of a woman's weapon.

Oh, and Superman gets mad:

Supes: Burn. (insert heat vision here)

Hey, I know some Danes and can get that for you!

Yankee Rose. Now that is a different name.

And a nice play off of "Tokyo Rose," the Japanese propoganda broadcaster from WWII.

Okay -- DOJ requires all published characters to have a special effect listed for all powers (even if it is a simple as "fleet footed" for an extra inch of Running). What I'm wondering is, what's your favorite special effect you've seen for a character? This can be in an offical DOJ product or something made for a personal setting.

To start with, I'd have to go with Captain Chronos, who gave us "No Sleep Till Brooklyn," Walkin' To Jerusalem," "Gone Out For Food," and "The Best Omnichromometer Ever Made."

A close second is Bulldozer, with "Ha! You Think You Stupid Attack Can Hurt Me?".

And then there's the Black Harlequin with "Look What I Made!" and "Not-So-Silly String."

No need, Rage. I got in touch with someone from the Phillipenes and am waiting for his infodump.

Greetings!

As some of you may know, I am developing and writing a bestiary of Asian creatures from folklore, legend, and myth. What I am asking now, is if anyone can direct me to any good souces for Asian folklore and the like. Or, any Asian monsters/creatures you'd like to see included. Or, any information you might have on any creatures.

Thanks!

Does anyone have any information on creatures from Viet Nam or Mongola. Specifically, the Con Rit -- a Viet Nam sea monster, or Moghur, a Mongolian dragon of great size?

I do hope the basic races that have appeared, if they appear as creatures, also have racial template rules for making members of that race.

 

Korobokuru, Bakemono, etc.....

Define basic races. The format is the same as the HERO System Bestiary.

I am not so sure why Tengu might be let out, but you certainly must have a simian race, led by Wu Kung, the monkey king.

I don' follow you here. The tengu hasn't been "let out", it is in the book. As for a simian race... I don't specifically include a race led by Songoku/Wu Kung, as there isn't one. I do have the yet-teh and the hsing-hsing, both primates and/or real creatures.

Oh, and I just found something called Olgol-Khorkhol. The "Mongolian Death Worm." Now how can I leave that out?
