Re: Pic of the day I haven't came up with a complete character idea yet but I've got a good name. Boba-Knievel what??

Re: Yet Another "Name This Character" thread. how about Blue Diamond? He could get an endorsement deal hawking Almonds!

Re: Linked Characteristics I think using Linked AND Focus is a bit redundant. If you are trying to build the symbiont from Spider-Man there are a couple of approaches that you could use. Detailed: Build the Symbiont as a follower that has a disadvantage that it will die if not attached to a host body for more than a few minutes or hours. Then give it a ton of Aids that only affect the host Simple: Build The suit as a focus and use only that limitation for all the powers and characteristics that it adds to the wearer.

Re: How Much? What he said. Basically, IPE and Reduced End are the only exceptions to the rule that advantages bought for HA's also apply to the STR that you can use to add additional damage to the HA (up to but not exceeding the base dice of HA). A HA with IPE will not be IPE if ANY STR used with it does not also have IPE as well. The Reduced End only applies to the HA. The STR used costs normal END unless Reduced End is bought seperately for it as well.

Re: The Last Word Can you prove that you really earned that girlscout merit badge for knot-tying?

Re: The Last Word But "Yes" is a great last word when given as an answer to your question by a beautiful girl late in the evening!

Re: A Tale of two disads Actually it's no different than a 2d6 HKA with a 1/2 Variable Advantage (+1) and a 30 STR which would only add +1d6 due to the +1 advantage. Yes it is technically allowing an effective attack of 67 active points (90 in the case of my HA example). Both attacks are going to cost 9 END and be No Range by default though. HKA's and HA's both present their own set of problems when trying to apply an 'active point' ceiling on a game. But since we were originally talking about a player character's disadvantages the above argument is essentially about the abilities of NPC's in a game which still boils down to a GM judgement call.

Re: I smell something fishy As what you describe appears to be a non-combat ability I would suggest basing the Detect on the existing variations of Clairsentience to tweak the effect you want.

Re: A Tale of two disads There is one minor flaw with your Variable Advantage scenario. What if I build my attack as a Hand To Hand Attack? Say I have a character with a 30 STR. I can also buy the character a 6d6 HA attack with Variable Advantage 1/2 (+1) for 60 active and 40 real points. I can now do a 12d6 attack with any 1/2 Advantage except IPE (and Range of course).

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER My goal is to make more posts than zornwil.

Re: The Last Word Not much different from how a honorary Amazon Princess (like me!) would handle it as well!

Re: The Last Word it sounds as though HTD got the last word.

Re: What's the most useless supplement you'd actually like to see? I might have to bite the both of you then! I was once on the Humor Police Force.

Re: Fixing Martial Artists That's just MEAN!! Fixing is permanent!! oh wait.. you meant... ok... Another slightly more complicated method would be to see if their attack is doing more body than they have PD. If so they take damage if they do not actually DO body to the target (kinda like Move Through and Knockback).

Re: Musings on Random Musings I wonder what tribbles taste like? cat or squirrel?

Re: The Last Word I wonder what turtle tastes like?

Re: The Last Word As in Kibbles and Bits? Sounds Tastey!!

Re: The Last Word Yeah Yeah.. I want to catch the really big ones like my hero Steve... ...Irwin, the Crocodile Hunter! Now he catches some REAL lizards that I could sink my teath into!

Re: The Last Word hmmm... I wonder what lizards taste like?
