Re: Clairvoyance then teleport

18 always misses

if they have to roll on the teleport into a solid object chart

somebody is going to get hurt bad

maybe to the point of having to cancel the OP or gets captured

if the villan knows what the teleporter can percieve

they can then lace the area with stuff the t-porter cannot percieve

10lb test fish line is pretty hard to see beyond 5'

motion,pressure sensors, and the such can be linked to various boobytraps

Re: Deep holes on Mars

on a volcano

could it be a colapse of a wall in a flow tube

Re: Pirate Hero

there is a free version there

you can also search for other rar decompressors

Re: Pirate Hero

it is a different type of zip file compressor

here is a link to the program

http://www.rarlab.com/

What program is associated with .rar ?

Re: Pirate Hero

you need something that will open .rar's

it opened fine for me

The Rote Lowe free download link isn't. Instead of a plan the link downloads some type of .exe file that doesn't run. Too bad' date=' the thumbnail looks great.[/quote']

Re: Pirate Hero

"Run out your guns" by I.C.E.

had very good details on ships of the time(but no deck plans)

also the templates for character was very good skills that a sailor/buccaneer/soldier/etc should have

Re: More Aircraft: P-61 Black Widow

as in opperational range

that means how far out it can go before needing to turn back

also speed given would be max

cruising speed would be 1/2 to 2/3 of max and is generally 80%of the time what the plane will be flying at

Janes gives it a range of 610 miles' date=' top speed of 356.... thats how I figured it[/quote']

Re: More Aircraft: P-61 Black Widow

2x1 hr fuel charges?

site had it with an endurance of 8 hrs

Re: Skyguard Laser

I wonder how much weight and how much bigger a rocket would need to be if it had a shuttle tile like system on it to counter the laser

cost of it won't be cheap

and hopefully too much tech needed than a simple machine shop

Re: Master List of Limitations, HD Prefabs

what size is the file

645.2kb is what the link says

643 is what properties says so there might be something missing and that could be the error I'm getting

Re: Master List of Limitations, HD Prefabs

I'm using winRAR and XP compessed neither seems to beable to open it what zip program are you using?

! C:\Documents and Settings\Beast\Desktop\MasterLists.zip: Unexpected end of archive

Re: Master List of Limitations, HD Prefabs

Edsel

I have tried both winRAR and windows compressed and both give me a corrupted message

could you check it please

thanks

Re: Variable Power Pools and Skills?

for me I would say that all skills in the VPP are base 11-(no getting the stat bonus)

if the character wants them at a higher level then he needs to pay for the higher level in the VPP(no use of overall or stat based skill levels)

as the GM if the character wants to down load new skills outside of his secure data base there could be connetivity issuses,time for download,secuity for the download(virus protection or mind control,tagging of reciever)

I could see a whole lot of ways to have this character be the occasional villan toy for the team

so while he may be able to play the jack of all trades

he could be some villans jack in the box surprise

Re: Fantasy Reproduction

I was more suggesting a weakness in their psyche for they cannot be reborn if they are lost at sea

[quote=Manic Typist;1214939

Beast- if you want, you can use it to create sea orcs. Have the chambers be dug along the shore, with heavy saltwater and sand influences. Driftwood, tossing in drowned sailors and any merfolk that get tangled in a net... whatever.

Trolls... trolls need to be pondered. I like the idea of extended incubation!!!

Re: Fantasy Reproduction

very good

tho until you put in the tossing in of other live humaniods you where going to get diminising returns on what got tossed into the pit

a good hook would be that no one has found out about this or after any battle all the corpes would be burned should they hold the battle field and why orcs never go out to sea

Re: Barbed Arrows

Mongols came up with a defence vs barbed arrows

just have the target wear a silk shirt when they went into battle

it would not stop the arrow but it would not tear and would be carried into the wound with the arrow

later when the warrior was being treated for his wound the shirt would be lifted to help assist getting the arrow to follow the path it created going in

and easier way to simulate this would be to simply have the target take 1 pip of damage per point that the paramedics roll is failed by

because just about all arrows that would be used for combat would have some kind of barb(remember that an arrow in flight is spinning and that is what makes it hade to get arrows out) except for armor-piercing arrows

Re: Remote-controlled robots?

Regeneration or healing(could also work on items in repair bay)on the vehicle(lots of little robots all over the ship)

OAF Immoble(work station)

concentration 0 DVC

full phase or 1 turn depending on flavor you want

0 end or not depending how you want the robots powered either by the ship or independently(robots may have a reserve and need to be recharged by the main power source so the engineer will need to figure out what what needs to be fixed first)

Re: New Judge trying to understand Unstoppable Healing

I see it as a character with a that has the disad :death wish

the character could charger into any combat maybe get the job done and be left for dead(great way to escape death traps)

while the character may be unkillable the big question that has not been asked is what are the character's defences

is the character an unstoppable killing machine or just 1 that that gets up after the fight is over?

is the campain too lethal?

need to see all of the character to make a judgement call on this power

Re: Populate a 17th century galleon

large and scared whale is following the ship

Re: Reproduction

for me I see reproduction as an everyman ability

the GM can then give or takeaway that ability depending on the situation

how the GM defines the universe would determine the world look on being fertile

also in a post-holocaust world the game might be about being a slave and escaping starting a new life in a non-slavery goverment

Then you missed my agruements (or else this post wasn't in regards to them). It doesn't matter how common it is, or what the default assumptions is, or even what the setting is. It matters what's actually useful in game. Is the ability to have kids useful, or is being treated like royalty useful? Sure, you may be treated like royalty because you can have kids, but you should only pay for the part is is useful, and that's the treated like royalty part, not the having kids part.

 

As to the rest of your post, charge whatever you think is fair. But if I were in your game, I'd be very upset if I had to pay points to be a slave.

Re: Reproduction

you could have it for free if the character concept s that they are human(no powers,normal char maxima,eyc...)

should the character be a mutant then they would need to buy that perk to not be a mule

also if there is lingering radiation/mutagenic toxins they might want to wear lead lined undergarments or constantly wear hazmat suits

Re: Hyperspace Help

Traveller had you going out 100 AU'sfrom the local star before you could jump

Re: Post Apocalyptic Hero

in some cases but gasoline has the most power output per pound that any other fuel save nuclear

a gas turbine will also run on just about anything

I'd say there'd be a lot of tracked vehicles involved.

 

As for a power source...

 

Very few people know this, but the original diesel engine was designed to run on any flammable liquid... not just petroleum-based diesel fuel. Thanks to the greedy oil companies, the original design has been "lost" to history.

 

Or, so it seems. Through my underground contacts, I have learned that the original diesel engine has been preserved and modified by covert agencies within the government for precisely these purposes. Fill the tanks with any liquid (or combination of liquids) that burns, and you're good t' go!

Re: Idle thinkings on BattleTech

in the game how many hexes you travelled affected those targeting you adversly

Re: Horrorclix: Full pictures
