  1. Re: Wait - you punch WHAT?!? (or what would the damage from an atomic bomb be?)

     

    hitting a nuke

    I would expect these effects to happen

    1 the normal explosives going off

    2 maybe a critical mass flash( that blue flash of hard radiation that does nasty things to your body that LS vs radiation would ward off or a lot of power def

    3 radioactive dust from the core to breath in and that LS vs radiation to ward off

    going to this

    1 a radiation accident so you or the player can rewrite the character(s)after they scrub your naked body raw to decontaminate it

    2 death by radiation poisoning before they get a chance to scrub your naked body raw

    3 death by radiation poisoning after they scrub your naked body raw to decontaminate it

    4 time well spent recovering from radiation poisoning after they scrub your naked body raw to decontaminate it

    5 time well spent recovering and filling out a ton of paperwork from radiation poisoning after they scrub your naked body raw to decontaminate it

    6 time well spent recovering with your family and friends also suffering from radiation poisoning after they scrub your naked body raw to decontaminate it

     

     

    This is the same line of reasoning as why someone with LS: Extreme Heat still takes damage from fire attacks. Sure' date=' Colossus may be able to stand in the heart of an active volcano (thought he may not like it much), but if you hit him with a flamethrower, he's still gonna notice. Same kind of thing with LS: Radiation and a nuclear blast.[/quote']
  2. Re: Self-destruct attacks

     

    I would not have the hero buy a self destruct charge

    if it came to be that a hero wanted to something like this I would take the largest power the had say their armor's weapons multi power take the active points from that plus all the points from the MP slots

    add up all the limitations it had to begin with

    add in 1 charge never recovers -4

    full phase -1/2

    gestures-1/4(you know what I mean)

    incantations-1/4(you know what I mean)

    apply this to the real points the hero paid to have the MP and refigure for a new active point total

    treat as RKA explosion(add mega-scale if needed)

    should the hero have time to add in points from the any outside systems(EC's end reserves,etc....)at the rate of 10 pts per point made using the right skill(weaponsmith,power skill,demolitions

     

    the last thing you want to have is a way to destroy yourself and your foe figures out how to set it off

  3. Re: Wait - you punch WHAT?!? (or what would the damage from an atomic bomb be?)

     

    then why have LS vs radiation

     

    yeah hurt the character a bit(say reduce str,con, body,end,stun by 2 to 3 dice for 1 or 2 game sessions)if they don't have LS vs radiation

    give an extra XP ot 2 after they scrub your naked body raw to decontaminate it

     

    That's an actual nuclear explosion which is not what's going on here. I also thought they got a little carried away. ED ought to protect against radiation.

  5. Re: The Gambler

     

    I would figure that he has it on charges that the damage would be fixed

     

     

    Flexible slots offer no benefit here since it;s an attack MP.

     

    You can always use less dice and, subsequently spend less end, when using an ultra slot. It's just that no matter how much or how little you use, it always chews up the same number of reserve points.

     

    And actually, something I missed... the Beam disadvantage means that the power always has to be used at full effect, so the character can never do less than maximum damage... maybe that 8DC attack was a good idea after all...

  6. Re: The Gambler

     

    instead of an ultra slot go for a varible slot twice the cost but you can put the level of power you need for the foe you are facing

    if you where paying end you would just pay less end for the effect you wanted and still have it at the cost of an ultra slot

     

    He is a mutant although his outward appearance looks normal. Flick of the Wrist and Card in the Eye are both lower point powers to allow him some flexibility, in fights with non-powered foes I pictured him using these two powers without having to worry about which is currently selected in the Mp.They also serve to be less than lethal cards.

     

    As for his aim I thought a base OCV 8 + 1 Overall Skill Level was fairly competent. However, some of the other builds listed had Dex's as high as 29 so I could certainly be off here. That said there campaign listing did not have a cap for DCs or Active Points that I saw.

     

    As for effective range, I need to go back and watch an episode of Myth Busters first, I think I'll go with something comparable but a bit more than what is shown in the card throwing show.

  7. a character I did for a game here but was to late to enter

    the GM liked her but had no space at this time

    just want to see what others thought

    Background/History: Elizabeth Perrot is a blank slate

    she has no memory save for the last year

    she just knows that she is strong(Like an ox) and that her voice when she sings can have magical effects on herself and others

    she has been singing for her supper for as long as she can remember(a yr)

     

    Personality/Motivation: Courious to find out more of her heritage

     

    Quote: what kind of song do you want

     

    Powers/Tactics: Brick who can help her friends with various songs

    Str 35 7d6 damage no special tricks

     

    Campaign Use: 01/04/01

     

    Brick primary

     

    Appearance: Female

    human w/ long pointed ears

    30b-16-30

    very fair skin

    could pass for 16 real age 22

  8. Re: Wraith

     

    i invisoned this character not as a ranged combatant but more as a brick

     

    her body drain is a very nasty attack akin to a sub going past crush depth and reducing the target to as small as a singularity or a marble(which if the DM allows could also be used as a ranged attack,the marble that is)

    her foes only saving grace is that she dislikes killing

     

    the gravity locked is her making the target(s) more intune with the local gravity field(the effect is more that they need to fight against the more effective gravity field than losing the stat

    but a 0 str they are rendered immobile which is what I wanted

    change enviroment lose mobility cost too much for less effect

     

    thanks for the comments

     

     

    Ah, allow me to expand on Tomato Soup: As a gravity manipulator I could easily see some nasty Gravity Well attacks (Killing Attacks or EBs with Double Knock back) with Defenses like, NND: Density Increase.

     

    I think the concept is good and with gravity as a core concept there is a ton of things to build off of.

     

    Also, if a GM had a problem with +40 Strength (No Endurance Cost) you may try and get by with Reduced Endurance showing that the Gravity well is assisting but not doing all the lifting as with TK.

    Background/History: Rena is a mutant late bloomer(she is 28 yrs old)

    Her powers manifested 2 yrs ago she has spent most of here time learning how to use them and is only now getting back to writing horror stories/novels

    she is a first generation born american on her father's side of the family

    Rena's father was a Soviet Sub captian who defected with his sub(a boomer)and most of the officers(3 yrs before she was born)

    when Rena's powers manifested her father used his contacts with the US goverment to get some help and training for her for her

    Rena got sent to SHIELD to be trained

    SHIELD could only do so much Col. Pryde suggested that Rena seek out Hank McCoy the new head of the Xavier shcool to complete her training

     

    Personality/Motivation: thrill seeker

     

    Quote: gennerally Wraith does not speak much

     

    Powers/Tactics: 75 str :brick plain and simple

    flight :flys upright(ala Magneto)and walks while flying

    increasing gravity field those in it are being made heavier by making them more attuned to the planet

    increased stats: time space is being stretched around here, the universe slowed greatly in relation to her

    N-ray perception:mass based and very accurate but cannot read unless it is carved or raised and cannot percieve colors

    Mega-scale teleportation she is using gravity to warp 2 points in time space thing would be bad should she go under 1 km(think leaving a crease in time/space

    Drain(gravitic crush)she is creating an intense gravitc field to crush her target down to as small as a singularity)think going past crush depth in a sub)

    invisibility just extending the field from skin tight to include her clothing

    knock back resistance using gravity to hold her in place

    desolid warping space around her and a friend

     

    Campaign Use: Front line brick

    some stealth

    transport

    this character is coming from goverment training but has no wish to be a governemt agent(would prefer to just write horror novels or a movie)

    but fate has handed her other things to her hand

    word got out less than a yr ago about her father that he survived

    those who had a grudge paid him back by killing him and his wife they are after the daughter but did not know that she was super powered much to their surprise

     

    Appearance: clothing a waffenrok made for a woman 15/16 century battle dress for a landskennect

    tall(thigh high)boots

    elbow length gloves

    great cloak with hood

    all clothing looks to be worn but no body is visible

  10. Re: Sidekick PD/ED question

     

    just a couple of pages of stuff but then it would be a reduced version of the 4th ed Hero system book

    one we are not going to get

    instead we will get 2 hardback books

    while yes tougher to destroy also a lot more expensive to replace should an accident happen

    also some people don't need all the examples

    they are nice to have

     

    That would defeat the point of what Sidekick is.
  11. Re: Sidekick PD/ED question

     

    there is a revised edition of SideKick

    It will be the basic book that comes out later in the yr

    and Steve did not indicate that he was going to put the missing powers,skills perks and talents in

    my specific question was

     

    Quote:

    so [the 6E Basic Rulebook] will be like the 4th ed soft cover that had all the powers,skills,perks,and talents boiled down to Sidekick size

    as opposed to 5th ed Sidekick that had some powers,skills,perks and talents left out

     

    It will be just like Sidekick. If you want the full version of the rules' date=' that's the hardcover two-book 6E core rules. We're not going to start producing multiple versions of the same thing (e.g., a softcover main rulebook) because that significantly increases our production and printing costs without any equivalent increase in our sales.[/quote']
  12. Re: Decoupling Movement from Speed or Segement moviement

     

    I alsp see to decouple speed and movement you would need to figure out these things

    1 movement per segment doing a half move so you can attack and need to know how many segments between attacks

    2 movement per segment doing a full move/through/by and how many segments between attacks

    3 movement per segment doing stage 1 of noncombat movement

    4 as above stage 2 and so on

     

    you will probably have to use a form of plotted movement as in Star fleet battles including persue,maintain distance,and avoid and evasive(to simulate dodge)

  13. Re: Wraith

     

    I beg to differ

     

    5th ed revised pg 314

     

    last sentence under Characterisitics

    Strength 40 at 0 end cost is a power

     

    all other characteristics are under a list with a common limitation

     

     

    No Characteristics in Elemental Controls

     

     

     

    More later

     

     

    QM

  14. Re: Wraith

     

    yeah there is a lot of stuff attached but the EC already is a focal point for a drain

    hit the EC and major portion of her power goes away any way

    I expect to be drained once in a while

     

    since in the games I have played in for the past 22 yrs

    most characterss don't grow that much more powerful maybe 1 or 2 DC

    but they do get more versitile(more skills,buy down limitations,more slots in MP's)

    the extra stats are because she is also warping time(she slows the whole universe down vs her)

     

    Meshing is usually a role-playing thing

    the game latest game I have her in there are in a group of 6

    4 various types of bricks

    1 really strong martial artist(40 str)

    and 1 energy projector

    transport,crushing bots and tangling with load of agent types are the areas she seems to be the best at

     

    only her +40 strength is 0 end her 15 still costs 1

     

    thanks for the input

     

     

     

    She reminds me of a Powered Armor character, only her theme is gravitic powers and not powered armor. Her change into Heroic ID must be the activation of his Forcefield, because she becomes a badass once that's on.

     

    Lots of eggs in that FF basket. The first time it gets drained, transferred or suppressed she's going to be bumming.

     

    My only concern (as a GM) woudl be that she has so many auxillary powers (Drains, Invisibility Desolid, Teleport and a 360 degree targeting N-Ray vision) that I'd worry how well she woudl mecsh in a group. She is a great solo hero, but maybe covers too much ground to be a good "team" hero. But that's just one guy talking. She's awfully effective-looking (55 STR at 0 END and 6 SPD, 'nuff said).

  15. Re: Personal Sacrifice

     

    what I saw as being asked for was "Personal Sacrifice"

     

    if it is a drain it needs to be something that is going to last a while

    for me this means at least a month,maybe more like years or centuries

     

    when I poster my version of Townsaver the character took damage(3d6 normal no defences)that damage is going to take close to a month to heal for a normal

     

    their needs to be some sort of inconvience that lasts a while and might include death

    a drain that comes back in 5 minutes is not a "Personal Sacrifice"
