Re: "Back when I started playing Champions...." Back when I started playing Champions we didn't have a cap on points. We didn't need them. There were 11 skills and we kicked that whiny Batman Wannabe's ass all over Rosie's Bar.

Re: The cranky thread Jenny started getting the white hairs in ther twenties. It bugged her to no end that I never have got any. I think I've found one.

Re: The "Nice Happy" Thread you said you wouldn't tell!

Re: Musings on Random Musings I was a little loopy when I wrote that. Sorry to exclude you, DT. I left out others too...

Re: City of Heroes - Online Hero Game I've two new toons that'd join.

Re: Musings on Random Musings Rock On. Where do I sign up?

Re: Because we need another "Magic System Thread"... Well, it was quick and dirty I haven't got my spells all in a row yet. Specialists get access to bigger spells that Generalists don't That big one is one of them. I suppose I could have a third MP for the Specialist abilities but for the example guy I left it alone. Also Bang/Defense/Enhance/Deplete are pretty much the only options in Video Games, with the "Teleport to City Visited" and "Get the Heck out of Dodge, er Dungeon" Spells...But I want more so I'll look at the various D&D spells for inspiration later. Yeah, Magic pulls from Mana Pool Only. Much like weapon Specials will.

Re: [Campaign] The Fearless Monster Hunters I like it.

Re: What Are You Listening To Right Now? I recently bought Hallelujah from Jeff Buckley on iTunes. It was covered on the original Shreck Soundtrack and I liked it. When I heard his version I needed to have it.

Re: Because we need another "Magic System Thread"... I've also considered making all magic "Standard Effect" but decided to let the wizards roll dice for damage.

Re: Because we need another "Magic System Thread"... As you can see he can cast his big fire spell twice before needing to rest. And then he's a sitting duck.

Re: Because we need another "Magic System Thread"... Here's a sample NPC I whipped up. No equipment, but basically what I want the spells to looklike. A Red Mage (Fire Specialist) he has access to one of the greater fire spells.

Re: Because we need another "Magic System Thread"... I have too many things flowing through my brain when it comes to this....

Re: Because we need another "Magic System Thread"... I'm leanign towards 8. (oh and as to which game am I simulating? All of them/None of them...) your example is right, the Dark magic guy is going to spend most of his points on skills to use his various magic. The MP for each type should work. Here's where my breakdown begins. This isn't a video game. So aside from Fire 1 and Fire 2 not being visually different, other effects of the spells should probably be taken into effect. Can a Wood Mage cast his "Entrapment" spells in a dungeon or a floating metal castle? In the vast majority of the video games, he does. So I will allow that. Lobbing Firespells in a forest is a bad idea but in the games, not so much. (hell in D&D not so much depending on yer Master of Gamesmanship/Dungeons) I'll have to write up a few mages to narrow it down. But I really appreciate the feedback!
