Re: When GMs Rewrite the rules Yes, but do to its awkward shape, it is not considered a club and requires Weapon Familiarity.

Re: When GMs Rewrite the rules You got mind controlled. Deal with it. And all NPCs should be far more powerful than any of the PCs to remind them whose story it is. Damn uppity players. Before you get all defensive and reply, I am being a sarcastic twit. Yes, your GM sucked. I am so glad we have validated your feelings. Please post this in one of the numerous 'Bad GM' threads.

Re: Gentle Persuasion? Seduction?

Re: Looking for a fair Limitation value Aha! We agree on the principle. The dispute is about my example. Thank you for clearing it up.

Please Help Me Understand So we agree that the campaign world is relevant to the value of Disadvantages and Limitations? I still do not understand your stance on the relevance of the character's other abilities to the value of that character's Disadvantages and Limitations.

Re: We've all been through that phase but Loxly, and Susano, and the Palindromedary a They are just closet system breakers.

Re: Release the Munchkins These statements seem contradictory to me. Granted, the official rule is that a Disadvantage/Limitation that is not a disadvantage or that does not limit the character is not worth any bonus or points. I have always houseruled that a Disadvantage/Limitation that is not as disadvantageous or limiting is not worth the same bonus or points. Your last post seems to agree with me except for my example. Is this correct?

Re: New to the hero system, trying to figure out some things And people wonder why I have issues with min/maxers.

Release the Munchkins Feel free to apply a flat value to Disadvantages and Limitations. It is your game after all. Just don't come, posting to me when your munchkin players max out on Disadvantages and Limitations that do not limit them in the least.

Re: movement Aha! You are not always right. (snicker)

Re: Wild Martial Arts Move Names Assuming Oni translates to Ogre Running Stroke "Oni Crush" Dodge "Miss Oni" Block "Oni Block" Escape "Miss Oni" Disarm "Oni Take" Throw "Oni Throw" More 'Monkey Grabs Snake' style The Rushing Bull (oops, you already have this one) The Grashopper Leaps Away The Monkey Steals the Coconut Discarded, the Prey Falls

Re: Looking for a fair Limitation value I put forth that we agree to disagree on this topic and move that we call up the next item on our agenda.

Re: WHY is combat so slow and what have you done about it? Still no sticky?

I Disagree I disagree with this principle. In practice, I tend not to alter the value of a Limitation. However, I do take into consideration how much of a Limitation it will be within the context of the entire game…which includes other abilities a character has. If a character takes a Disadvantage of being blind, then takes Spatial Awareness, blindness is not so much of a Disadvantage. Granted, the character may not be able to read print or discern colors. That is still less of a limitation than being completely blind.

Re: Bricks Get Hosed, Or Not I believe it has been suggested that all Power Frameworks be replaced with Limitations. I like the concept. Fewer rules. I do not have the threads off hand.

Yet again Test - Detect Functionality (3 Active Points), Extra Time (1 Turn; -1¼), Obvious Accessible Focus (Computer connected to Internet; -1), Visible (-¼) (1 Real Point)

Re: New to the hero system, trying to figure out some things You know…that is an excellent point. When he GMs he will know what not to allow.
