Re: Numb3rs Charlie's never FOUGHT anybody, but he was in the middle of a firefight in the FBI office that he had flashbacks of. He had a hard time going back into the building. I remember him shielding his laptop with his body, and was inappropriately amused. Ok, maybe Charlie is Dan's follower.

Re: No Horses For You IIRC, Heinlein used horses in "Glory Road", but they had eight legs. If you want a nonstandard mount, maybe a standard mount with some subtle differences. Not quite a pushme-pullyou, unless your tastes run that way. I'd use the new Spore Creature maker to create new mounts. They're a little cartoony, true. Personally, I'd like to ride a Ki-rin.

My daughter found this for me: http://www.godchecker.com While not very in-depth, it has many hyperlinks between gods, demigods, and fantastic animals. Christian Saints also in the house. Enjoy!

Re: What Marvel hero am I remembering? I remember "Captain Marvel". Way to alienate the Mar-vell fan base, Marvel. Shoulda called her "Photon" from the start.

Re: We Loves Us Some Elves, Dwarves, and Orcs Green power! *ugh* Kalimdor National Socialists.

Re: Jedi hdp and lightsaber Have to ask Lucas, and we're not on speaking terms, since the whole stalker thing from Episodes 2 & 3.

Re: The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor I guess it's true that we need more urbane comedies, of the "Thin Man" type, mummies or no.

Re: The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor

Re: Jedi hdp and lightsaber As you like.

Re: We Loves Us Some Elves, Dwarves, and Orcs My hatred of elves comes primarily from WoW. Likewise my hatred of gnomes. And orcs. And warlocks. And 13-yr-olds.

Re: Hard sci-fi adventures? Mongoose Publishing just released "760 Patrons" for Traveller. I just bought it. Should be full of rich chocolaty goodness.

Re: Jedi hdp and lightsaber "Hardened" is a mistake, I think. Remember, Qui-Gon could still cut through the blast doors.

Re: Jedi hdp and lightsaber All good! I agree that lightsabers are independent: "It belonged to your father. He wanted you to have it, when you were old enough."

Re: No Horses For You

Re: We Loves Us Some Elves, Dwarves, and Orcs Jeez, just because you shave your cat's tail the ONE TIME . . . .

Re: Heroic Feats Legs like a rabbit: +2" leap, visible effects

Re: Heroic Feats Something like martial arts stances? Shield Front: +2 DCV, requires endurance

Re: Numb3rs Ok, NVM then.

Re: Mapping the galaxy Dammit, if a galaxy with two arms are good, then four arms MUST be better! Don't run yourself down!

Re: If I were to write 6th edition Terran Empire I'd... I'd like to see a hyperlinked history, so it's only as detailed as you like.

Re: If I were to write 6th edition Terran Empire I'd... Like Iain Bank's The Culture.

Re: Karate Kid, reimagined Because he is a Master of Sinanju. 55's about right.

Re: Jedi hdp and lightsaber RKA because it's not a strength-based weapon. HHKA based on Ego would be interesting. I like the min Ego requirement. They took Untunable twice, so I would probably not allow it. The wounds are only semi-coagulated, so the victims do bleed slightly -- I'd go with reduced bleeding rather than no bleeding, and not give a penalty. I usually buy it as an AWLD, the defense being forcefields or other lightsabers. Does body, of course. Real cost is bloody expensive. I like the AWLD inclusion of Combat Luck.
