I was only able to see it when using Chrome instead of IE.

Re: [Campaign] DEFENDERS CONGREGATE!!

Frydaddy and I have always said that we can tell whether or not we're doing a good job of GM'ing based on the facial reactions of Mole (Fantastic-Man.) Based on his face when VIPER showed up, I'd say things went well.

Famous Fantastic-Man reactions:

VIPER did what?

VIPER did that?!?!?

I killed VIPER!

If a character is hit with an entangle that has the "Takes No Damage From Attacks" (+1/2) Advantage, can the entangled character use Telekinesis to escape from the entangle? Thanks!

No sweat, Night Raven. And thanks for the follow-up post. I really appreciate it. By the way, that mini is incredible. Great Work, Mike!

Re: Storn's Art & Characters thread.

Here are two more commissions.

 

First up is Fantastic-Man from CTodd.

Thank you so much, Storn; you did an incredible job! Fantastic-Man is reborn!

Hi Steve!

Perhaps I am misunderstanding the Absorption Example on page 35 of The Ultimate Brick. The 3rd paragraph states that Absorbo can only absorb 11 BODY and the attack does 12 BODY. However, the last paragraph states he takes 0 Body from the attack. What am I missing? Thanks!

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER

Well, I guess I'm sorta behind the times, then, because I don't even know what Homestar Runner is, let alone The Cheat.

 

If you're interested in face-to-face RPGs, and are looking for games or groups in the KC area, check out

We also have a forum here:

If you decide to attend, maybe I'll meet you at the convention in November.

Thanks for the info Dr. A!

Go to: http://www.homestarrunner.com/ go into the Emails section. Watch the classic "Trevor the Vampire" after that' date=' you will be hooked.[/quote']

You can find The Cheat's origin story under "Flashback"

And for more The Cheat humor, check out "Privileges"

It's super funny.

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER

Uhm' date=' Mole? Just what the heck [i']is[/i] that you're using for an avatar? I can't really make it out!

 

And you're another Missourian, I see...it's really looking like there's a fair number of us about! And in KC, no less...are you by chance a member of, or even aware of, the KC Role-Players Guild? And the conventions they hold?

SS beat me to the punch. It is The Cheat of Homestar Runner's fame. I was unaware there was a KC Role-Players Guild. I'm a member of an online guild for Neverwinter Nights, but rarely get a chance to play. Does that count?

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER

Wasn't there a "Baywatch" spinoff? "Baywatch Hawaii" or something...

There was also a Baywatch Nights spin-off with an X-Files motif.

From the FAQ:

Q: Since Regeneration is an option for Healing, could you build a version of it that Heals something other than BODY?

A: In the GM’s discretion, yes. However, an “alternate Regeneration†power must follow all the rules set forth for normal Regeneration — including the application of the Standard Effect Rule so that it cannot Heal more than 1 BODY (or 2 Active Points) of what it affects per Turn.

 

Q: Since Regeneration is an option for Healing, and there are limits to the maximum effect you can achieve with Healing, does that mean you can only Regenerate once?

A: No, a character can keep applying Regeneration until all damage is Healed. For example, if a character had 1 BODY Regeneration, and took a 3 BODY wound, he could Heal all three points of BODY damage, one point per Turn.

Is Regeneration then only 1 Body (2 AP) per turn only? It cannot be increased to 2 Body (4 AP) per turn, etc.?

Also, can you apply the Simplified Healing option to Regeneration?

Thanks!!!

First of all, can I apply the Increased Endurance limitation to a MP Reserve, if each slot in the MP takes the Increased Endurance limitaion but at different levels each (i.e., x2, x4, x10).

Secondly, if the previous is allowed, what level of the Increased Enduranced limitation would I apply to the MP Reserve (i.e., x2, x4, x10)?

Thanks, Steve!

Good discussion. Thanks, guys!

This is an intertesting topic. I looked into buying PSLs to offset the OCV penalties for Move-Throughs, but I found this in the FAQs and thought it was off-limits.

Q: Could a character buy Penalty Skill Levels to counteract the standard OCV penalty imposed by a Combat Maneuver, such as the -3 OCV for a Grab By?

 

A: No. If a character wants to buy PSLs with the attack, he has to define some form of negative OCV modifier they counteract — such as the Range Modifier or Hit Location modifiers. He cannot apply them to, for example, the -3 OCV with Grab By, the -v/5 penalty for Move Through, or the -2 per subsequent attack for Rapid Fire/Sweep. If he wants to counteract the OCV penalty associated with a Combat Maneuver, buy 2-point Combat Skill Levels.

Would you guys allow PSLs vs. the OCV penalties on Move-Throughs, Move-Bys, Grab By, etc.?

The entire evil organization? Cool. How much? If you throw in an UNTIL sleeper cell, I'll give you a #4 extra value meal. Throw in a DEMON Morbane, and I'll super-size it!

I looked into velocity based DCV for a friend who is playing a speedster. His SPD is 7 and his running is 30". Therefore his velocity in inches per turn in 210", making his Velocity Based DCV 7. Now, for the most part a speedster character is going to be at least a 30 DEX, with a base DCV of 10. I don't see any advantage in velocity based DCV, but I definitely could be looking at all wrong.

That got the best of me for a long time too.

Seeker and 5E

I keep reading about references to a picture, in a recent DoJ publication, of Seeker looking up Damage Reduction. Does anybody know if this mythic jackelope exists? If so, what book and page number? I've been driving myself nutty because I cannot find it.

Submit your write-in votes for Origins!

I think the STR Table (pg. 21, 5E) and Throwing Table (pg. 22, 5E) would be nice. How about a listing what the brick can jump over based on their leaping, i.e., 2 story building, Statue of Liberty, Kansas, etc., all in a single bound of course.

You guys are awesome! One of the reasons why I love HERO so much is its base of players. Eventhough I sometimes find myself cursing aloud while silently reading the Non-Gaming discussions, every Hero player I've met and everyone on the boards are pretty stand-up guys and gals. And situations like this prove every word. Thanks, guys.

I am a little confused on how to build the Shockwave power listed in the Champions Genre Book under example powers for Bricks. It's list the power as an explosion for up to 60 STR, but the AP is only 45 points. Is this an EB? Just a bit confused. Thanks!

The brick I am currently playing is a member of a subterranean race that lives under the surface of the Earth. They are basically underground Vikings. Big (Hulk-big), strong and powerful warriors. And since they live underground, they are incredible diggers. Right now, my character's tunneling is greater than his super leap.
