Been a while, still need to catch up on all the responses. Point creep was one of the reasons for this thread. I've seen 700+ point characters crammed into 250 by use of limitations. Powers with eight -1/4 limitations cost a third normal, but are rarely affected, compared to a single -2 that might literally be usable once in a blue moon.

Inspired by my initial thought of what RDU Neil's thread was about and something that was touched on by several in that thread. Stacking limitations has its issues - too much bang for the buck, it it really worth that much, clutter on the sheet, etc. I'd like to open this discussion in a different vein than the previous one and not muddy those waters. I'm not suggesting reducing limitations to one; the book's limitations are fine, but you're only allowed to use (or get points from) one limitation per power.

It's actually still available. And some enterprising souls have turned the game client into a chat client. No monsters though. Google for Icon, ParagonChat and/or Titan Network.

My PC was trying to break something critical (to the survival of the world, IIRC), and managed an excellent EGO roll to push her STR up to 25. Yahtzee. Five ones hit the table. I honestly cannot remember how the session went after that, Stunned. Chris.

I apologize for being an ignorant American and not noticing the difference. They should be available in either location, just not in the US. That's why I'm asking for help from anybody willing. Chris.

I've become interested in the Nano Metalfigs line from Jada Toys. Unfortunately, there is one line they released which isn't available in the US. This link to an Australian site shows the entire wave, and they are also carried by Toys R Us and Big W stores. https://www.mightyape.co.nz/product/jada-metal-minis-marvel-nano-metalfigs-single-pack-wave-03-assortment/27822093 I'll cover costs and shipping for someone to do the legwork. Chris.

You always had to build it. In 4E, Damage Shield was a +1/2 Advantage on an attack power. In 5E, Damage Shield was a +1/2 Advantage on an attack power. By RAW, you usually had to add the +1 Continuous Advantage, but a lot of people didn't agree. In 6E,Area of Effect Personal Surface was a +1/4 advantage on an attack power.

MCU: Age of Ultron. The final showdown where Vision, Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch were with Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, Hulk, Black Widow and Hawkeye. Honorable mention to Phil Coulson.

Quad is a Brick, strong and heavily defended. He can split into two Doubles, each a little less strong, less well defended, but faster and more agile. Each Double can split into two Singles, each a little less strong and well defended, but faster and more agile. Yes, there is an influence from the City of Heroes's Malta robots. Player/GM contract requires them to be fully built - no hand waving. Quad is a 400 point 5ER character. I believe I can make Double as a 325 point Duplicate, and Single as a 250 point Duplicate. Some of Quads powers (STR and Defenses) would have a Not While Duplicated limitation - at what value, -1? Double will have a similar set of Not While Duplicated powers, but also a set of Only While Duplicated powers - also a -1 Limitation? Right now, all three are scrapper types, with Quad a brick and Singles close to Speedster. If I can scrape up the points, maybe give each a Blast. Any other suggested powers or better names? Chris.

Having read the playtest document, this is what this Kickstarter is. It's not about rules or settings. It's about how to PLAY. Chris.

In %E, Martial DCs were halved when added to killing attacks/maneuvers. Not sure if 6E changed that. Also, you forgot to (dis)allow Naked Advantages on said firearms, though at least they would have to cover the points in the weapon's damage to use it properly. Chris.

I say we take off and nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

Where are these rules for realistic movement endurance and realistic space acceleration? I have previously posted some of my design rules for a Master of Orion space game, where starship design can play a significant part. I'm still monkeying around with this particular issue, but have some thoughts on engine mass as percentage of ship size, and dividing maximum flight by vehicle size to asjust results more than just "no more than X flight" rules. Chris.

I would say 'No', because a normal damage attack already does Body damage, with or without Penetrating. Does Body only allows attacks that normally deal no Body damage to do so. So the question becomes, What are you trying to accomplish by adding Does Body? If you're looking to make a Normal Damage attack do Penetrating Body instead of Penetrating Stun, that won't do. You'll need to use a Killing Attack with Penetrating to do Penetrating Body. Chris.

Took our six year old to see it with us. He honestly cried when Panther went over the falls. But at the end of the movie, with Panther holding Killmonger, he asked, "Do you think he'll be sad that his friend is going away?" They NAILED this movie. Chris.

Jada toys has released Nano Metalfigs, a line of 1.5 inch die-cast minis, with DC, Marvel, Street Fighter, WWE and Harry Potter lines. Each fig runs 97 cents at Walmart, and there are various 5, 10 and 20 packs available.

And maybe because he doesn't keep hydrogen peroxide behind the bar?

At the basic level, you don't. You could buy a Dispel vs Armor, with that as the Special Effect, though. Chris.

I was looking for an appropriate artwork thread to suggest this, but couldn't find one. Can someone please create / post a picture of Dr. Muerte, painted up like a Day of the Dead skull? Chris.

Yes. The basic concept is three tries at anything/everything she does. Anything someone else gets one try at, she gets three and takes the best. I like the Overall sSkill Leevels idea and will use it. I understand the Extra Time idea, but probably won't use it. I'll have to dig up or borrow a copy of APG2. I'm also thinking of an Images power so people see her making three attempts. Chris. Palindromedary tagline needs three humps

I'm trying to build a supervillain for my fairy tale themed team. Goldilocks should have the power to make three tries at something and keep the one that works best. The question is, how would I build such an ability? Yes, I'm aware it could be extremely powerful - and should be equally expensive. Chris.

Ouch. That's gonna leave a mark...

I have been, in my Copious Spare Time been saving these to a file to collate into a single document. Chris.

To be played by Mrs. Alyson Hannigan, of course. *sigh* Chris.
