Re: Where does this lim/disad go?

Re: Where does this lim/disad go? Oops you are right. Change linked to the -0 lim adds to example beam. It is not quite a stacked OHID. No power or stat will take OHID twice. It might help to think of the second OHID as -1/4 "Extra time,full phase, only to activate, requires wiget" Not much of a cost savings. But then it's not that limitating to the hero.

Re: Pulp Hero Forum I am so here. Hmmm how to do the beeper-seekers......... Or the dog in the plane to hear them hmm.......

Re: WWYCD? #112: Polly Want A Cracker? Oooo foul pun!! 15 yard penalty, loss of down and a red card. I liked it!

Re: Movies *SHOCK* there is someone else who has seen Circle of Iron?!!!?

Re: Arabian Nights I recomend finding a copy of the old b & w film "thief of bagdad" and screening it before the first session. Or you could get a good translation of the "Nights" itself and hand out a photocopied chapter at the end of every session as a way to keep the mood going.

Re: Jet City Champions Campaign Log LOL. Oh no...this could be a running gag. Unility keeps tranqing BD again and again as utility keeps building better and better mousetraps. Eventually he gets to 3x hardened. While utility is gloating ofer the failed attempt to 'port out BD concentrates and poof - into blink space. Utility runs in saying "What!? Not again." bd then returns and ports out the door Utility left open. The Finial iteration will have BD really trapped. Then the rest of the team shows up. "Hello, Foxbat? This is Utility, Is that sidekick position still available?"

Re: Professional Skills Start with the business section of a major city phone book. Each heading is a new professional skill. Then move on to university catalogs. Each field will have it's own PS's associated with it.

Re: Master List of Distinctive Features DF-Elvis would unless the character was in fact Elvis, see Bubba-Ho-Tep. But DF-Elvis impersonator would include the 8yr old who won his regional contest at the recent world Elvis contest. In other words folks who are clearly NOT elvis but who do conform to the archetype he created. Say a supervillien named "The King" with sonic mind control powers. Silly yes, but you are going for a master list. I task i suspect will be impossable as this is a very open disad And another DF-always impeccably dressed. Think John Steed of the TV Avengers, he couldn't go undercover if his life depended on it. Another: DF- Invisible. Think H.G. Wells's walking suit of clothes.

Re: Jet City Champions Campaign Log OUCH!! I say again, good build. They'd have to tranq him then. Or implant something a'la Escape from New York. I see an UNTIL think tank somewhere. "All right" agent drops a stack of files on the conference table "this is what we know about him, now how do we hold him?" hmmm i wonder if BD would cooperate with Stronghold/UNTIL in developing triple hardened forcewalls etc. PLOT HOOK! Or an idea for a WWYCD.

Re: Help GMing travel through a mountain pass... Or you could have the avalanche miss the party entirely. It just cuts them off. Think Donner party. When things start to get nasty you can let the weather clear for a few clear bitterly cold days. At that point the guide/dwarf/person who knows snow can notice an odd depression in the snowfield above them. A little digging will reveal the dungeon entrance. The treasure will be of secondary importance. The real reward will be the tunnel that opens up on the other side of the pass.

Re: Jet City Champions Campaign Log If you could only spoof the danger sense you could still get him to port into a room filled with co2 or other invisable nastieness. Even hard vacume. Hard to keep him there though. Hardened forcefields/entangles or mental powers would be your best bet. BD is the only one of the team to cause Stronghold anyheadaches. Just take Arsenal and the Bullethead's toys away and make sure Washi is kept away from paper or cloth. Or i suppose london broil/cold cuts. *shudder* imagine the dragon made of meat *shudder*

Re: Master List of Distinctive Features How about. Third Eye is open. Posts the guy who is on his way to Yoga class. Or an old favorite. "Elvis" or "Elvis impersonator"

Re: Next Week: VIPER The basics are a priority. It just doesn't do to leave soldiers to be interrogated. Besides it'll ruin morale among the other basics. If nothing else give them Fire department jackets and helmets and a nearby rental/stolen car. It's just not cost effective to sell out your own troops without a very good reason.

Re: Jet City Champions Campaign Log Ah now i understand. Of course by not buying safe teleport spoofing the clair-senses & danger sense can trick him into shaking hands with Mr. Wall. Is some ways stronger than safe-port in some ways weaker. Cool build. An illusion based super would be a good foil for him. IMHO

I know it is possable to give running/swimming a turn mode using a small limitation but there does not seem to be a way to do the opposite. How does one go about removing the turn mode from flight? It struck me as odd that there was a specific sample limitation to add turn mode but no answering advantage to remove it. Note i'm not 100% sure this is the right place for the is post. Please accept my apologies if this is more a discussion question. Thanks in advance

Re: Jet City Champions Campaign Log Question on Blink Dog. Why didn't you buy safe blind teleport rather than the Danger Sense and remote senses? Cost issue?

Re: Jet City Champions Campaign Log LOL!! Gongrats on the great start!!

Re: GateCrasher Hero Hey i resemble that remark! Tri Tac is definately a "take what you like and wing it" system as far as combat goes. I've played it for years and i still don't understand the martial arts system. The backgrounds rule though. I've run Fringeworthy using HERO and GURPS and Stalking even works under Feng Shui. Ah the good old days.

Re: Jet City Champions Campaign Log Cool, I knew you'd be all over it. Mean while i'm still plugging away on Rocket. I can't design for $*!). Sigh You never did answer the big green and huggable question. Btw what's your max dc on stun only eb's? Stun only RKA's kosher or cheese?

Re: Jet City Champions Campaign Log Also I'm not too sure that these folks are Heroes. Blink Dog carries a killing attack and his main motivation is personal gratification, psyc lim: amoral. Washi's main motivation is personal status and power. The Troll is an unknown factor but clearly has self control issues. How could these three pass the psyc evaluations required for what is effectively a top job in law-enforcement? Why would the city hire them? Forgive me for being pessimistic but I see this as at best a vigilante group. If the players play these disads and if Rocket man plays then I see him arresting one or both of them on murder/manslaughter charges with in a half-dozen play sessions. Well trying to any way. BD would vanish and Washi would kill him.

Re: Jet City Champions Campaign Log Ummm I know it's not my place but i noticed another possable issue with Washi. What is to prevent washi from simply folding a few hundred dragons etc in advance allowing him to effectively bypass the extra-time limit? I've run into similar powersets before, painted pictures that could become real, and the player used the trigger to effectively negate the extra-time limitation. Admittedly for Washi the end cost will limit abuse but I still have problems with granting a 2 and 1/4 limit for something that simply forces the character to spend a half hour a week in down time folding paper. A two and a quarter limit is an awfull lot of points for something that will not limit the character in 9 fights out of 10. Another possable cheese warning: 15 Physical Limitation: Mild atopic dermatitis - dry skin and joints (All the Time, Slightly Impairing). Ahem 15pts, for dandruff. How will this limit the charactor? More than that, since he bought it at the all the time level. How will this effect every moment of the characters life? And how does it impair him when it is active? Even being colour blind isn't worth 15 pts and that can easily result in a dead hero. From another point of view does this disad provide you with 15 pts worth of plot hooks. Also this disad overlaps with the unusual looks. Don't get me wrong i love the concept but there may be some design issues.

Re: Tactical Question: How would your characters deal with these villians? The only option i can think of is "lets you and him fight". With this kind of power they have to have enemies. Find them, lead them here, aid the survivors. Of course something like ocean will allready have thought of and countered this. Ultimately the only option may be to agree with them and hope they get bored. It would all depend on what they want. So what do they want?

Re: Jet City Champions Campaign Log Hmmm. Rules question re: Washi. Does summon allow you to summon more than one type of thing without some kind of modifier? Should he have to buy summon one for the crane and again for the frog? I don't have my rules with me but i thought what you summoned was fixed at creation like duplication and multiform. Are you still planning on throwing big green an 4-armed at these guys?
