Re: Brick in a Forcewall I allow leap to reach full velocity at launch. Because, you know, that makes sense. I think it's balanced out by the fact that if you do a v10" leap, you actually have to leap 10", which can occasionally be painful. Also, not being able to change direction can suck.

Re: Building a custom enhanced sense - What do I need to build this effect?

Re: [splinter thread] I have a problem with the way it is done: Dispel Foci Hmm. Well, it looks like the rules are, in fact, begging to be abused. That's a really dumb way of doing it, IMO. I mean, 8 multipowers for 15 points, and you can use all of them at once without occuring any penalty? That's just dumb. I could wipe the floor with Dr. Destroyer using a 350 point character and it would be a perfectly legal construction. So much for maintaining game balance.

Re: Favorite Television Characters

Re: Brick in a Forcewall But that doesn't move him anywhere, and it leaves him set up to be caught in another one.

Re: Brick in a Forcewall Mr. Brick might be able to kick off from one side of the force wall, and do a leaping Move-Through. Assuming Mr. Brick (with his 60 STR) has 12" of Leap, he would travel 6" from a standing leap. That would give him an extra 2 DC, and ensure he moves a few inches each phase.

Re: [splinter thread] I have a problem with the way it is done: Dispel Foci You can't make a multiple power attack with the same power: "A character cannot use the same Power to attack more than once per Phase with multiple-Power attack - such an attack requires two (or more) distinct Powers." HERO Fifth Rules Edition, pg. 234 The Multiple-Power Attack manuver is for just that, attacks that involve multiple powers. Hitting someone with a Flash and an EB that is the same blast. Using multiple weapons is a Sweep manuver, because each weapon must be aimed and fired/swung independently. The Sweep manuver is where the penalty comes from: "Sweep requires a Full Phase and reduces the character to half DCV. He also suffers a cumulative -2 OCV penalty for each attack [after] the first." HERO Fifth Rules Edition, pg. 262 Then there is the additional -3 OCV penalty for using your Off-Hand, unless you have Ambidexterity.

Re: Activation and RSR The guidelines suggest an average skill roll of 11- to 15- for Superheroic games, and I see no reason to exempt Power skills from that rule. And of course, any limitation that doesn't limit the character is not worth any points. That's why the value of the Requires A Characteristic Roll (variant on RSR) limitation drops the higher the base attribute roll is: Cost Power 10 Force Field (10 PD/10 ED); Requires A COM Roll (-1) 0 +0 COM Powers Cost: 10 Cost Power 11 Force Field (10 PD/10 ED); Requires A COM Roll (-3/4) 5 +10 COM Powers Cost: 16 Cost Power 16 Force Field (10 PD/10 ED); Requires A COM Roll (-1/4) 10 +20 COM Powers Cost: 26 It wouldn't be unreasonable to apply a similar rule to RSR, and reduce or increase the value of the limitation according to the skill roll. I agree that, on the surface, the table seems skewed, especially when compared with the stated values for Limited Power: 1:1.7 Chance of Failure 10 1) Force Field (10 PD/10 ED); Limited Power Power loses about half of its effectiveness (-1) 10 2) Force Field (10 PD/10 ED); Activation Roll 11- (-1) 1:2.9 Chance of Failure 13 1) Force Field (10 PD/10 ED); Limited Power Power loses about a third of its effectiveness (-1/2) 11 2) Force Field (10 PD/10 ED); Activation Roll 12- (-3/4) 1:5.2 Chance of Failure 20 1) Force Field (10 PD/10 ED), Limited Power Power loses less than a fourth of its effectiveness (+0) 11 2) Force Field (10 PD/10 ED); Activation Roll 13- (-3/4) 1:9.8 Chance of Failure 20 1) Force Field (10 PD/10 ED), Limited Power Power loses less than a fourth of its effectiveness (+0) 13 2) Force Field (10 PD/10 ED); Activation Roll 14- (-1/2) It does seem a bit broken. I like your progression, it works a bit better. Ultimately, I think Activation Roll should be worth a little bit more than Limited Power, if only because Limited Power is generally predictable, whereas Activation Rolls are not. If you have a EB that doesn't work on robots, you aren't going to attempt to use it on robots. But an EB with an ActRoll might crap out on you when you need it most. If you think that lack of predictability is worth (-1/2) on it's own, then I'd go with the current (albeit slightly broken) table. If you want it to more purely reflect the actual odds, and you want their to be a meaningful difference between 12- and 13- (which appeals to me), I'd use your table. Edit: Having read my own post, I think your progression table makes a lot more sense. It still gives slightly more limitation than the Limited Power would, to reflect the unpredictability, but makes more sense with the math. Good job!

Re: Activation and RSR The penalty is -6. Only the power that requires the skill roll is considered when calculating the penalty.

Re: [splinter thread] I have a problem with the way it is done: Dispel Foci Even if you get rid of the off-hand penalty, you stil have the -2 cumulative penalty for every attack after the first. That means in your example, the final attack would be at -124 OCV.

Re: Challenge The Jackalope - If You Dare! Yikes. He may not get a drawing. I dunno if I can draw that. But I'll give it a shot.

I royally screwed up my back today. Got too enthusiastic while doing some heavy lifting, and tried to Conan a box that was about fifty pounds too heavy for Conaning, and pulled my trapezius (for the eighteenth million time). Now I'm stuck doing nothing exciting, and I'm bored. The massive dose of painkillers is doing a great job of taking the hurt away, but prescription drugs lack the entertainment value of recreational ones, and I don't want to mix the two. So I've decided to let y'all give me something to do, while I relax and take it easy. Something easy and relazing of course, no heavy lifting. I will make you a character. Any character, any power level. I'll even do you a picture of your new character. All you have to do is give me a description of your character. The description must be five lines. No more, no less. And you must tell me what power level you wish the character to be at. Because this is the Champions Forum, it must be a character suitable for play in the Champion's Universe. I will take the first five challenges that aren't completely stupid. By offering up a description, you waive any right to complain when I say "No, that's completely stupid." But I doubt that anyone will ask me to build something completely stupid. Feel free to present a real challenge, whether that be a tricky power set, or...um..a trickier power set. Yeah. I may open this thread up to more suggestions later.

Re: Prophetic Insight When I build characters with that power, I do it as Sight and Hearing and leave it at that. I wouldn't do it with Mental.
