  5. Random powers (falling, barriers)

    Re: Random powers (falling, barriers)

     

    Am I the only one thinking of Raiden from Mortal Kombat with the teleport solution...?

     

    Anyway, just thought I'd point out (since no one has mentioned it yet) that the online USPD has a power with a component bought as KB resistance, only to prevent damage, -1. The character still flies backwards, but the dice rolled are reduced accordingly. At an effective 1 cp per -1", that's pretty damn cheap, and very simple.

     

    As to falling, again the online USPD has a power as Only to protect from falls, -1. (Can't remember off the top of my head if it was superleap or PD.)

     

    ALSO, buying gliding only to reduce velocity is not cheesy, in fact it's sanctioned. It's how parachutes are built.

     

    Just some thoughts.

     

    Teehee!

    Hey Madstone' date=' I've been playing WoW for about a week now (I got the open beta through fileplanet option). If you're really curious you can look me up, I'm on Central Time Zone - Server 26 currently, though that changes day to day.[/quote']

     

    Hmm, I can't find server 26...I guess you have to be in the right time zone. I'm usually on 40, if anyone else is interested.

  12. The Incredibles -- WITH SPOILERS

    Re: The Incredibles -- WITH SPOILERS

     

    GOOD CATCH, yeah, I'm down with this explanation.

     

    I don't think it can be BOECV because I don't think a mentalist could get out of it. I think Mr. Incredible's (and others') problem was straight-forward - nothing to grab a hold of to apply strength!

     

    So how to simulate that? Suppress STR, Limitation, so long as no leverage point? Because I get the impression that if he could have grabbed something the TK wouldn't have worked, but Syndrome kept him away from being able to do so. Although the Lim is probably meaningless as the way the ray works one probably never can grab anything. So probably a TK, RSR, Linked with Suppress STR - ?

     

    Suppress might be the best way to mimic it, though I'm sure the original intention is simply a powerful tk effect. They were completely frozen in place (except for the mandatory head movement and speech, paralysis never stops those) and didn't even struggle. I think that's simply Bird's vision of TK.

     

    It would be an affects whole kind of thing with some kind of power suppresion. I mean, a brick, a speedster, and a morph were all motionless, which suggests a massive power suppression, I think. SPEED Suppress? Cheaper than a STR drain on Mr. I, but much more expensive for Dash. Maybe just a SFX: Super Powers suppress.

    ...But Railroad Tycoon 3 is very addictive. :)

     

    I cannot wait to get my hands on this!! The RCT games are my very favorite, and I've wasted many days and nights playing away...who needs crack? :D

     

    By the way, my birthday is coming up soon...

     

     

     

    I'm just sayin'...

    Re: Name help requested for an idealistic archer

     

    How about... Talon

     

    Ah, I guess I'm too late to suggest a name... :)

     

    Yes, yes you are. :tsk:

     

     

     

     

    KIDDING!! :D :D

     

    But seriously, welcome to the boards, btw. I hope you find someone to game with up there. I've always wanted to visit Alaska. But if there're no HERO gamers...brrrr!

    Re: The Incredibles -- WITH SPOILERS

     

    Just from a purist standpoint' date=' I would build them as purely physical effect personally, but BOECV could simulate them very well. [/quote']

     

    I think it's definitely a physical TK, but with a RSR. Remember when he accidentally flung Mr. I away? "Brilliant."

     

    Speaking of Benching locomotives, Jack's "workouts" (as a friend of mind pointed out) were a great example of the difficulty of superhuman logistics. How do you work out effectively when you can lift tons casually?

     

    An aside: Bob Parr was Mr. I. Jack Parr was the baby and the original host of the tonight show.

     

    I think his str score might be just a tad higher than we're saying. Pulling that train was giving him a workout, but it wasn't a strain. Of course, we didn't see him get it started, which would have been the real test.

     

    As to villains disappearing, I was thinking that the supervillains might see the banning of superheroes as a sign that the government wasn't screwing around anymore. If they got caught, they were going down hard to eliminate the presence of any supers. Just a thought.

    I like Mandy as well' date=' you're definitely a Mandy in this guise.[/quote']

     

    Funny thing is, Mandy is probably my favorite femme name. I had it earmarked for my first daughter...you know, back when I thought I might have kids...*sigh*
