  1. I tend to also get a hard copy also you know something to read when there is only candle or sunlight to read by and with Extinction Event being around the same size and only 38$ +tax and shipping for the same options 12 bucks is a bit steep
  2. The Dark Lord is Green Hornet? and the PC's don't know it
  3. will there be a pdf,hdc and dead tree option coming to the hero store 50$ is a bit steep
  4. I consider that body is also the will to live so the soul is part of the stat So an ego blast that does body can kill and leave a good looking corpse(just clean up the blood leaking from the nose and ears)
  5. I was just spitballing it for accuracy but I'm also taking into account that 200 archers are not going to be able to target individuals(so in a perfect world each knight would have 4 arrows per volley, it will be more like the front rank will take the most hits) there is also the morale of the troops(at 50yds vs horseback 25 yds vs foot) depending on defending terrain/fortifacations and or foot troops archers will break and run knights on foot can move in turtle(shields overlapping closer formation) on horse shorter time under fire, but not as maneuverable to avoid field fortifacations
  6. What is AP in game terms is going to be on how the attack is bought(character points or money) If I pay character points it is AP if I pay for it and the GM approves If I pay money I should have to pay x10-x20 vs normal arrows and the GM approves to a lesser degree if paying money for an AP weapon say x5-x10 vs a normal weapon, and the GM approves In any case the classical case to deal with heavy armored foes is volume of fire Example a force of 50 heavily armored knights(armor act-14)attacked by 200 archers should yield say 25 hits(area fire in reality) 14- activate is around 90% effective defense so of the 25 hits 2.5 will penetrate for an average of 5.5 body done(1.5d6 weapon) to the poor knight hit(probably taking out something and making the knight combat ineffective it now becomes a race for the knights to cover the distance to the archers and destroy or bypass the archer's defenses(trench with emplaced spears, high ground, defensive toops, etc...) as for a rapier being AP, I'd say no as it is a weapon meant to slip into the joints and do damage( though a rapier is a street/ in the city weapon and is not meant for the battlefield) Now I would either buy AP as a naked advantage or Penalty Skill levels to lower the activation roll to show the added skill of the wielder
  7. what gets done more, hunting for food or actual battle? especially an army in the field Hunting heads are the norm as AP arrowheads are more difficult to produce(hardening the metal, dry shafts, etc....)
  8. remember that this kind of armor does not cover everything perfectly, and there is an activation so even a 14- will fail in time(the MacBeth and Adora sword and shield fight where won by strikes that got past the armor the same is true vs arrows, enough tries and the armor will be bypassed or defeated
  9. you have never seen a broadhead arrow? there are many types of arrow heads hunting arrows are made to do the most damage to make the game animal bleed out quickly and not to move to far from the hunter and as time has shown that there has always been a competion between weapons and armor where 1 tries to out do the other(look at tanks and warships vs various weapon systems over time) watch the video above that MrAgdesh posted it even talks about military and game projectiles
  10. work smarter not harder use armor piercing bolts or arrowheads or go to crew served weapons like balista
  11. Start writing a blog advertise where you can
  12. when the banker is in control of the trigger pullers and we control the banker yes
  13. heavy lifting includes the purse strings
  14. from the American perspective(IMHO) everybody else wants us to lead the way
  15. I go 90% drawn art the other 10% would be cosplayers doing something
  16. I'm talking over all commanders like Eisenhower
  17. @Ninja-BearUNTIL has a commander who is not an american that would be commanding american forces during WW2 the theater commanders were americans and your probably going to have the U.S. putting up the most money,tech and heroes So depending on how liberal/conservitive the U.S. is will pretty much say who is in command
  18. get the "x2 body dimension"adder to have a wing span of 12m for 5 pts Stretching 6m, x2 body dimension
  19. the BIG question I would ask the OP is what is the U.S. government's position on other countries paramilitary forces on U.S. soil? if it is just the same as if there was a SAT or PRIMUS, then it would just be special forces and state level police forces stepping up for me I'd say no As does the U.N. make policy for the USA?
  20. Black Bolt's wife from the Inhumans https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medusa_(comics)
