Re: Warning silly question, serious players beware EDM with the addition of Fixed and Floating Teleportation Locations. You are right a silly but extremely powerful ability. On second thought not so siilly. Doesn't Trance from Andromeda have this power? With a horticultural focus? Hawksmoor

Re: Regeneration Absolutely correct. Just because a power construction is most expensive *should* not mean that you have to buy it that way. Overpayment is just as bad as underpayment. Why? Because no matter what some players might say or do We are still limited to the points provided in the system. That system must work logically and consistently, otherwise we are back to a game of Shogun Warriors running around the park and screaming "No! I hit you with Grandizer's Rainbow Beam. You have to be injured!" Hawksmoor

Re: A Thread for Random Musings Only one week to go before I pack up the kids and head back to DC for a month. The Exalted game is going into email mode for Ryan who is likely never returning from Baghdad in the near future. Although my wife loves the idea of getting her GM back all to herself. She never really clicked with Ryan. I wonder what the chances are of gaming some champs a couple of nights during May? I am going to be at the Residence Inn in Greenbelt, MD. Hawkmoor

Re: New Character It is a points issue. If I let HD do its funky math I saved points...illegally. I know by my spreadsheet it should take 16 CP to raise Seraph's speed from 2.4 to 4, however once I get Characteristics as powers the calculation changes and I get a 3/7 split. To fix it and get the bleeding thing to calculate correctly I had to buy SPEED as a power, which meant that I had to use the custom adder to scale back by -4. It really is wonky. That is I suppose why Ben updates. Oh! Wow! Upon updating to V2.3 from HD1.0 all my little problems went away. Thanks Mike! Hawksmoor

Re: Answers & Questions Q. Did Mighty Bec get his shots? A. :Crash: Hawksmoor (Give me a break guys it is my first Q&A Thread)

Re: New Character Thanks Doc. If you change Characteristics as Powers to Adds to Secondary Total you can have Norm and Powered up forms on the same sheet. My issue was that in the Characteristics section if I put points in it made Seraph's SPEED wonky. To amend it I had to resort to those clunky SPEED Modifications. Hawksmoor

Re: Psi Amplification Collar To do it correctly you have to use the Naked Power Advantage mechanic. The active points of this power would be the points you saved on the Limited power. You can then apply the OIF modifier for the device. Another way to do it is to simply make all your powers as Compound Powers with one section OIF. That is the simplest way to go. Hawksmoor

Re: Hero A Day...Sorta... Good points. But remember even Ice Slides can be reformed on the PCs next phase, so no harm no foul. Plus as a quasi real object a disarm could very easily *temporarily* remove his hammer leaving him without flight and other Brick tricks. Also entangles could *stop* it from being used effectively. He has some sort of limitation implied by the concept. WH could have his hammer taken away even though *pop* it returns to his hand his next phase as he summons it. -1/4 is a small limitation, and thus only slightly limiting. If it messes with him one phase every two combats he is more than getting the points for it, because in the intervening segments he lacks a major asset. But all that aside you do good work!

Re: Is this overkill? Mock run the battle. Assume 11's are rolled on all required actions (Activations/Enraged/OCVs/Blocks etc;) If he is Stunning or KOing characters left and right and has ping damage only getting through his defenses, you have an issue: 1) He is *too* powerful for the intention as it is unlikely he will ever be defeated by the PCs 2) He is *too* powerful for them to go head to head with and win. They have to attack his weaknesses and hope for the best. I would suggest having him crush the PCs in the first encounter, and only later after they have licked their wounds learn from the encounter and devise a way to beat him. After all even Dr. Destroyer loses...sometimes... of course that only furthers his Master Plan! Hawksmoor

Re: Your Character's Greatest Fear? The Z-Man is desperately afraid that Ryder will return. Ryder is/was an extradimensional killer with RKA bought Extradimensional Penetrating x3. Vangaurd faced him once and lost, leaving the group to temporarily split up and each PC went to an isolated spot without humans. Why because Ryder always left one victim alive! The Crimson Seraph is afraid that his faith is not enough, that he is just a mutant with a messanic complex, and further that heaven does not exist. Why? Because that means he will never see his wife Jospehine again. Caress is afraid of being uncool, ingored and unpopular. She is afraid of her powers. She is afraid of what others think of her. She is afraid of Horror films, snakes, and getting fat. She is just your typical teenager. Hawksmoor

Re: Opinion poll I think that Nexus has a real point. True a Dumpster is less hard than the Hulk or the Thing, but that is not the point. The point is not that an object be durable but that it is *more* damaging to be hit with it. Bricks use objects of opportunity all the time. They disable Helicarriers with a roll of quarters, hurl manhole covers like erormous discusi, and swing greyhound busses at each other. It is genre. Now how to make it a part of the game without paying points. My fix is to add (DEX+BODY/2) in DCs to an attack using a weilded object. These dice are added to swung or thrown items used by the brick. I would like a rule like this because strength tricks are nice *but* experience in HERO is too skimpy to truly expect a Brick to have a VPP or Large MP for every little Trick in his bag. My thoughts. Hawksmoor

Re: Tornado Building You don't actually need a transform. You could just buy Negative Skill Levels for Characteristic rolls and All Combat UAO UAA.That way there is no annoying rolling the effect. EVERYONE gets dizzy. Also the Change Environment should not be used to simulate the Tornadoes path of destruction, the TK AE with Linked EB or RKA should do that just fine. You might want to use it to create areas of low pressure, increased winds and reduced visiblity though. I totally agree this is a cool concept. Post it once you have it stated up fully. Hawksmoor
