(I personally am holding out until I gain the power to transform myself into Brittany Spears.)

Why not aim higher? Go for Martha Stewart!

Yup, they've got it, all right . . . Now, to get it from There to Here . . . I'm already way over budget on RPG stuff, with Fantasy, Star, Ninja, Bestiary and UMA bought in the same month!

I'm weak, I tell you! So very, very weak!

Now, now, let lemming´s huge mistake die in peace, please . . .

There are some rules for mass combat with ships in the old Fantasy Hero Companion II.

This sounds like what I´m searching for. Any idea where one can be found?

And I´d make the sail-ripping trick a straight Acrobatics roll and the swinging would be resolved with Climbing.

Oo oo! EM: Sea Legs is essential!

Muh?

Any resources or tips or anything at all, really, on running mass combat á la Fantasy HERO with ships?

I think you are confused

 

the -1/2 is a -.5 limitation

 

it is not a modifier to the contortionist or lockpicking roll (I think you think that it is -1 to lockpicking skill and -2 to contortionist)

 

there is no modifier to the skill rolls.

Aaaah, so that´s what he meant!

But as handcuffs are really easy to pick (as per example), and as the write-up says Modified Skill, I´d still say +2 . . .

Sounds like a +2 to me.

How so?

Actually, on this vein, is it possible to creat a detect which only transmits and does not detect?

Voice can be written as a sense, right?

Lucid dreaming would be so, so cool . . .

Nope. I can't stomach those films.

They are a bit over the top, certainly . . . Not everyone´s cuppa tea. Fat Bastard made me queasy, and that´s no mean feat!

Anyone seen or made any conversion work for the KULT RPG . . . ? It´s one of my brother´s favorite settings, and since I might move back up north sometime in the future and start gaming with the old crew . . . Well, it´d be fun!

BTW, Susano, have you ever written anything Austin Powers-related?

Have you had a look at Captain Jack Sparrow then?

Yup, and I liked it, but, alas, I haven't seen the movie yet, so I refrain to comment.

Thank you.

Not at all! You are a source of inspiration, really.

Susano´s stuff is generally (heck, always) of a high standard . . . Find his site through his profile.

Another thing about that book. The fuel source in that spaceship was extracting energy from empty space. This is theoretically possible - physicists have theorized that space is a bubbling foam containing an unbelievable amount of energy - but of course nobody has the faintest idea how we could get that energy.

I've been fiddling with this for a SF-campaign, and technobabbled it as a result of deflector screen technology. Really rubbery, you know . . .

This site might help: Warp Drive When?

Okay. That's a valid point. I was alsolooking for ways to make it less expensive, but then, that's a powerful ability to have there.

A-yup! You know, you could always make it incremental. Begin at Heal 2d6 and let the player buy more as the game progresses . . . ?

In all seriousness, i was trying to decide if the "Only to amount rolled on Healing" limitation was valid. Or served any purpose. Basically it limits the STUN damage you *don't* take, which is a limitation.

Hmmm. Didn't think of this on the first look.

It depends, I guess, on how you want it to ´taste´, so to speak. I'd drop the limitation, since it goes with the fact that you don't get damaged at all by the blow. And if any STUN get past that 48 rDEF + PD, well, A mighty blow like that ought to do something, right?

Yes, the formulation in G:CM is a bit iffy, I agree. But I think that your initial interpretation is the correct; that you sort of use the damage taken in the latest attack to heal yourself.

Now you've gotten my curiousity piqued; exactly what are you up to . . . ?
