Re: STUN multipliers in 6e

Re: STUN multipliers in 6e It isn't a complication. The modifiers on the chart are used in different ways because it is used for multiple different things. For killing attacks it is used to determine the base amount of Stun damage done by the attack. For a normal attack it is used to modify the already determined base amount of Stun damage done by the attack. It can't be done after defenses for KAs because before you apply the multiplier there isn't an amount of Stun damage to apply the defenses to.

Re: Another view of Damage Negation (6e) True, though just multiplying the per die amount by the number of DCs that are left would be more accurate. And has the advantage that you don't need to have the player leave the dice in view until you are done calculating.

Re: And 6e print books start to arrive I'd contact Tina directly, as there is no guarantee that she is monitoring this thread.

Re: And 6e print books start to arrive I'd contact Tina about it in that case.

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER Yes, in fact it does. If you do not succeed in doing what you set out to do, then you were not successful at it. This doesn't mean that you are a bad person. It just means that you didn't succeed. Often we learn more from our failures than we do from our successes. But that doesn't mean that they weren't failures.

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER How can something be a challenge if there isn't any way to fail at it?

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER Currently at 380 here...

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER The only way no one can fail is if there are no challenges.

Re: And 6e print books start to arrive

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER That would be awesome!

Re: Another view of Damage Negation (6e) Which walks the line between rules and setting. From my understanding military weapons are challenging to supers in the CU because Darren and Steve like those kind of settings. People that prefer military weapons to be useless (or at least less useful) against supers should either tone them down, or tone up the supers. Or maybe give people a few levels of DN against normal firearms...

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER Well, the incident I was talking about happened in the 80s. Were I to be in classes these days I'd probably surf instead...

Re: And 6e print books start to arrive

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER I though I remembered that. And I couldn't agree more. My favorite example of stupid cheating was in my Physics class. The lecturer gave 10 question multiple choice tests. Everyone got the same questions, they were just in a different order depending on which form you got. And he color coded the tests to make it easier to tell which was which. Not surprisingly there were a few people that felt the need to cheat, and the color coding made it easy. So on one test he printed them all on the same color paper, though he still had different forms. There were several people who had dismal scores when graded with the proper key, but perfect scores when graded with the wrong key. They weren't burned at the stake, but they were expelled...

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER Heh. I've read papers in class before. But only in 300+ person lecture halls, and only in the back. Even so, I did get called out for a public humiliation once doing it, in Organic Chemistry. The professor asked me a question that I didn't hear. When she got my attention, she asked for the answer again. I asked her to repeat the question. She asked me if I was paying attention the first time. I said no. She repeated the question. I answered it, correctly. Usually I paid more attention during lectures, even in the large halls. But she a) was a really boring speaker, and lectured directly out of the text. Which I'd already read. I only went to the lecture in case she made an announcement or on the off chance she covered something that wasn't in the book. She did the former occasionally, she never did the later. The TA for My lab section on the other hand was great. I learned a lot more from her than from the professor.

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER

Re: And 6e print books start to arrive That would depend on whether it was sent USPS or UPS I'd guess. Mine was sent UPS, but I think Tina was planning on sending out most of the GenCon preorders via USPS. If for no other reason than that would allow her to just use the order cards as the mailing labels.
