Each member of her family was taught a different specialty. Li's specialty was necromancy. She was the most powerful member of the family. But she didn't feel powerful enough. So, she searched the globe for the mystical staff: The Animator of the Dead. (loosely translated). This staff could raise an entire graveyard in one hour. And all under her command. But, she was consistently followed by a mercenary. Captain Blight. Captain Blight was practically immune to Li's power. Which is quite an accomplishment for someone who is dead. You see, while Li was first learning all of her new powers; an American military man was sent in to discover what she was all about. Li discovered Blight, and attacked him, and he died. When she tried to animate his corpse. It was her first time to animate the dead. And she got the spell wrong. Instead of a mindless loyal zombie, Blight was alive - in a sense - again. Li's powers couldn't affect Blight anymore, Plus Blight's guns and knife could work on any undead creature. Blight escaped capture (he was still outnumbered), and decided to make it his "life's" work to keep tabs on Li. Personality/Motivation: Quote: Powers/Tactics: Campaign Use: Appearance:

I need some help building the requirements for a magic system for an up coming Fantasy game. I'm not claiming that its original but I thought it was an interesting take on "Fire and forget" style D and D magic. Spells (Weaves) are patterns of will and occult energy that require great concentration, study of symbols, formula and focusing gestures to create. To side step this lengthy casting time, a mage may prep her spells before hand essentially running through most of the creation process (referred to Weaving) except for the crucial final stages and store the pattern in their mind for later use. When the time comes, the mage finishes the casting and fully unleashes the spells effects (creates the fireball, casts the charm, etc) which usually requires the same as normally activating and using the Power involved. Once this is done, the mage has two options: They can recreate the pattern with study and concentration for later use OR they can cast the spell directly, running through the entire ritual (which often takes a minute or more). Speed Casting (Cutting the Weave) is risky, if the mage flubs it, bad things can happen, Untying the Weave (lengthy casting) is much slower but not as dangerous even if flubbed there is no danger of backlash in anything but the most powerful or experimental magics. Mages can use the lengthy method at any time they have access to their books and scrolls. Short casting requires having the required prep time to set up the spells. How would you best represent this in mechanical terms?

Re: Worth a thousand words? Calra is a refugee. Part of a small expeditionary force dispatched by Isthva V'han to test the defenses of the Earth she was separated from her unit when their base ship fell under assault by Terran forces (Viper as it turned out but she's not aware it wasn't any official military force) and forced to retreat. Calra was assumed killed in action but in fact survived despite and recovered her injuries to find herself alone on an alien and hostile planet. So she set about doing what a good solider would: finding a way to rejoin her lieges forces and do what she could to weaken the "enemy". So Calra acts as something of a terrorist, striking at sensitive targets on her own or offering her services as one of these "supervillains" particularly those of a high tech bent who might offer her a chance to get back home in some fashion though she plays those cards very close to her chest. Even many criminal Terrans seemed unnaturally resistant to accepting the Just and Glorious rule of the Eternal Empress. She's was dubbed "Prism" at some point and accepted it since "code names" seemed important in the vocation she's faking but finds the whole thing rather silly.

Re: Worth a thousand words? Note on Regis: Technically, she can't speak either but can pretty effortlessly create a mental "voice" for herself if need be. I decided not to bother writing that up since it's essentially the same as speaking for most intents and purposes and just didn't give her a disadvantage for being physically mute. If you think it should be it would be Images, only to simulate speech, no range.

Re: Worth a thousand words? Regis: Even geniuses make mistakes. Telios, on something of a lark decided to create a special "doll" for amusement, one with psionic talents to make her more useful as a toy as she'd be able to read his desires before he was even aware of them and apply her powers to the task. He over did it. Regis, crafted from genetic samples from several powerful psis including Mentalla turned out to be far more powerful then Telios intended. Worse, she was far more willful as well. She saw the fate that of mastermind's toys when he tired of them and resented being considered an expendable slave and fled at the first opportunity, taking Three with her as bodyguard but also out of a sense of fellowship. Telios wants his "property" back but is also fascinated by their rebellion and wants to see how they do on their own and to test them as something of field experiment. With proper conditioning both could be useful to him in the future.

Re: Worth a thousand words? Something about her makes me think android or robot, cold, methodical and emotionless. Don't have a good handle on powers so I'll default to basic enhanced physical abiities (strength, speed durability), maybe some enhanced senses. Maybe she's an engineered lifeform, a project of Telios created as bodyguard and a long term piece of eyecandy unlike his other throw away "dolls". But like them, she can't speak lacking any vocal organs.

She has little emotion or personality beyond an intense loyalty to Regis that the mentalist has created for her. Aside from that she is cold and machine like but as time goes on she's started to develop sparks of humanity and a child like curiosity about the rest of the world. Interestingly, Regis nurtures that part of her having taken on an almost maternal attitude towards the combat clone.

Re: Some Book Of The Machine Pages Posted I like Mechanon's new form. It looks a little more "modern" comics wise and less like a blatant ripoff of Ultron.

Re: Inceptum Terminus: Chronicles of the New Confederation Sounds interesting but I have one question and I hope it's not taken the wrong way. In Chapter 1 where political systems, ethics, etc are addressed does it seem like the author's personal political feelings/values are being preached or is it a fairly neutral description*? *I understand its very rare to have a discussion about those subjects that is totally neutral but there are degrees.

Re: Worth a thousand words? Picture 4 Maybe "Spectrum" or "Prism". I see her as having powers based n light and colors, maybe even creating solid energy constructs similar to the powers of a Green Lantern. I'd make her an alien, maybe on Earth due to assignment since her costume and bearing have a military vibe to me. Picture 1: Her cowl makes her look bald (though of course she didn't have to be) and that makes me think mentalist right off the bat. Interesting color combination, a bit on the somber side in ways and kind of severe maybe a very no nonsense even hardened personality that's somewhat superior. I could see her as a villain actually with powers centered on Mind Control and Illusion. Weak in physical combat and likes to hide and mentally snipe at "inferior minds". Name could be something like Dominatrix, Regis, or other commanding title. Picture 2. The costume implies mystic to be, of a meditative, monk sort rather than a mage though I could see him casting spells too. But I more imagine a martial artist that practices a "internal" style the emphasizes chi/mana control and Mind over matter maybe Kalarippayattu an Indian martial art that has some mystical aspects. Might be a little clichéd by he could be blind too or maybe just wears the eyeless mask to focus his other senses.

Re: Some Book Of The Machine Pages Posted One word. Sweet!

Re: Worth a thousand words? I'm not really upset, disappointed and somewhat annoyed though and I didn't want my friends to get upset or insulted. But why lets some spoilsports kill a good time? I'll talk to them and see what they think and if it's okay with them I'll put them back up.

Re: Immunity to Electric Attacks What about Area of Effect or Damage Shields?

This is just a place holder for the moment. I'll be posting a group of characters inspired by the "Worth a 1000 words" thread here. The characters will be members of a somewhat eccentric superhero team and the villainess that brought them together (or in some cases created them). Characters: Paragon Dancer Lorelei Antibody Gwar Dhsuna Interlock They'll be based on 250+100 Disadvantages along with "experience" as needed and based in my Wyldstrike campaign setting for background purposes.

Re: Worth a thousand words?

Re: Worth a thousand words? In any case, there were some really good ideas in the thread so far. I'll try to get the Outsiders up in a week or two. I hope some others will be posting pics at some point. Be a shame for the thread to close down.

Re: PA Hero:How long would plumbing work? Thanks for the information, guys (I assume. ). You've been very helpful.
