You could also use the Power(Shape-shift) skill as the opposing skill.

Also check out the JSA sourcebook for the DC Universe RPG.

Hell, bring in Shooter to do the book. Wouldn't mind seeing him run a comic company again either.

I would love for him to take over LSH, after all he created some of the best Legionares when he was only 13

DC has kind of thrown the Crisis out the window with Hypertime ... which, IMHO, is a good thing, considering alternate Earths were always fun

Here's hoping the rumors are true with Grant coming back to DC:D

As for creators ... Byrne's art is great ... his storytelling is okay. As long as Claremont has nothing to do with it, we'd be all good

Gods! I know what you mean. I'm really not looking forward to these two teaming up on a up-coming 6-part JLA story arc

What, you want to flush 20 full years of continuity and not call in John Byrne?

What continuity? The DCU is more screwed up(not as bad as Marvel's post-Onslaught) now then it ever was before Crisis the only ones who couldn't keep track of all the different Earths were the Marvel Zombies;)

All kidding aside I wouldn't flush it all, I would just move those things Earth II back to Earth II, etc. etc.

As for Byrne, it's just my opinion but the words over-rated and hack come to mind.

Crisis on Infinite Earths was just a dream and one day DC will believe it's time to activate the "Dallas" Protocols:

Carrol Ferris-Jordan wakes up one morning and hears the shower running, goes into the bathroom and finds Hal in the shower. She then goes on to tell him about the strangest dream about red skies and purple lightning...

We could then just write off everything since Crisis as a case of too much "Queen Special Recipe" chilli. Extra spicy of course. of course with Grant M. coming back to DC maybe we will get the long awaited Crisis in Hypertime and things will be set aright.

FRPGames rocks. I always order my stuff through them (except for FREd, but then I didn't know about them then).

I've been ordering from them ever since. BTW, what is the S&H on Fantasy Hero? The usual 3 or 4 bucks or is it more like 5 to 6?

4.95 for standard and 10+ for priority mail.

WooHoo! I just placed my order man this must be one hefty book concidering how much the shipping is compared to earlier orders(I had to forgo Priority Mail this time so I won't have the book until sometime next week or so)

In fact, my only niggling problem with the film is the fact that Tom Sawyer, having been born in 1837 according to the book by the same name, should have been just over 60 years old during this movie, and obviously he's not.

 

But then what do I know... I'm just a film critic...

Two possilble answers to this:

A: This is Tom's grandson, they never use his first name in the movie.

B(My first choice) this is the Tom from that live action/animated cartoon from the Bannana Splits Show who when he finally got out of those caves found himself some 30+ years in the future

I also liked the fight scenes mainly because they didn't use the slow-motion/wire-fu stuff which I just don't carefor.

In the Terran Empire book, pages 159/160, there are write-ups on hyperdrives.

 

The write-ups use T'port w/megascale, which is all good. What I don't understand is, why do the write-ups have the Cost Endurance limitation? Teleport normally cost endurance, so it shouldn't get that limitation.

 

What am I missing here?

I don't have my books with me right now ( I know shame on me:p ) but I believe normally vehicle movement doesn't cost END.

All good choice so far but the one pre-5th product that gets the most use in my game is: The Great Supervillain Contest it has grown so big that there is a underground following (Betting lines, Pay-per-views, Fantasy leagues, etc.)

And let's not forget Hugo Danner who was super-strong, bullet-proof and could super-leap a good 8 years before Clark Kent.

OT DC had Hugo's son replace Superman in the All-Star Squadron/JSA(Young All-Stars) post-Crisis.

Remember you must have both Weapon Familiarity and Weapon Element in order to use a weapon with Martial Maneuvers (UMA page 102) so PSL may not be what is needed here.

After further review with my GM we decided to stick with the Stretching Damage Shield. We thought it was best choice for the SF/X of my character.

As a GM I would allow a player to purchase missile deflection-reflection defined as melee deflection-reflection at a +0 modifier. The fundamental mechanic is the same as the block maneuver and the additional cost is such that the additional abilities this construct would allow are well paid for.

I like this! But to make sure I'm on the same page this would be a "Melee" only MD/R and to do both Ranged and HtH would require buying MD/R twice?

Now to see if my GM will allow it (of course if he doesn't I still have the stretching method:D )

BTW you can abort to Missle Deflection but not Reflection.

a) If you can use Flight,UAA to send a character into another character or wall why not this.

I ran into this too, I ended up puting it in a Damage Shield with a requires a Block roll limitation.

Try Stretching, Usable as Attack, you only need a few inches to turn a melee attack back apon a target (my character also has the not through intervening space because her SF/X is teleporting gates)

Either that or if she has the Power skill have her make a roll to do it all in one phase or both.

My TE games has yet to get going yet but in our Champions game, our power-armored hero Sentinal is secretly a Hzeel scout who was sent to spy for an upcoming invasion, but has decided he likes Earth. And Andromeda, a mentalist/brick is half-Varanyi.

My campaign world has slowly evolved this way over the last 20 years or so. It started out as a typical D&D world and piece by piece I eliminated much of mysical elements (always using a in-game reason, for example, early on, halfings were killed off by a magical plague created by a wizard who had a real dislike of them and later I lowered the amount of Mana in the world until only a rare few can cast spells) and my players have found that a "standard" human is very dangerous foe indeed.

The toughest part I've found is you have to make interesting NPCs for your players to interact with.
