Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group...

Multi barrelled grenade launcher is being used. The grenades are color coded, but the players have ideas what the colors do.

Malinkya: I don't want you charging in there lobbing random grenades!

Sailesh: It's not random! It's RED!

The title says it all.

I need a way to LOOK at a character, see his aura, and get an idea of power level, magic, psionics, etc...

I had thoughtdetect, but with it's inherent 360, etc... I was not sure... any ideas?

LARP =Live Action Role Play

Re: HERO 5th LARP?

SO...

Not to BUMP the thread, but I feel I owe everyone who pushed the MET (white wolf) basic test mechanics an apology as we are playtesting the the system now, and it works. I will post a link to the basic documents as soon as some additional work is added to them

Re: teleport

5th edition revised page 233 says

"Characters cannot use Teleportation to perform Move Th roughs or Move Bys. Characters cannot Abort to Teleport, but can Abort to Dive For Cover with Teleportation."

Re: Is this really THAT abusive

Yeah...I agree with manic... PSL to counter-act the unfamiliarity... I agree that an incredibly skilled weapon master should be able to wield almost any weapon he picks up... but not that he is familiar with it...

while it seems to be a nit picky thing, so much about the hero system is flavor... as such, the flavor enforcing the lack of familiarity seems appropriate...

For that matter, I agree with the assertion that no one can know all of the weapons... even if you have used a rapier with a french style swept hilt... and pick up a rapier with a russian basket guard without quillions... while the differences are very very mild at best...the weapon handles in an almost completely different manner... just a couple pence

Re: Lycanthropy

groovy...I am LITERAL... very much so... sorry about the misunderstanding

Re: Player Adventure Feedback

I like that, too... we used to do that in the LARP we ran... and I dunno why I never thought about doing it table top

Re: Unofficial Welcome Mat (For New Members)

The ultimate bases would be pretty darn spiffy... yes...we like it

Re: Player Adventure Feedback

this is a pretty snazzy idea... I hate wasting paper... my gaming group... I have them email me any feed back... but I like what you have ehre... and I agre with RPMiller... what is the extra XP section for?

Re: Points Equality

That is a pretty neat idea... and I am pondering... I like it though...

Re: Points Equality

So GAZZA... if I played in something like that...start out as a veteran... lose points till I am master level... do I start acruing them at the master level or wither away?

Re: Lycanthropy

Persistant (with or without Always On) means the Power is active regardless.

Not really... the character can turn it off at will when it is persistent...

Page 275 of 5ER says "A Persistent Power costs 0 END to maintain, and remains turned on until the character consciously decides to turn it off"

Re: Lycanthropy

which was my point*grins*

Re: Sooo... Immunity to magic

well... Honestly... I did change it completely... but.. it was still a question that I was curious about...

I wanted to figure out how to do it... because...

well... the paradigm has, similar to the cthulu mythos, entities that predate the universe... they... are immune to magic... they're not terribly powerful outside of that...

Re: Points Equality

I personally really enjoy being the weirdness magnet... I am always in the middle of the action

Re: Lycanthropy

In the grand scheme of things always on is "uncontrolled."

yeah... but the always on disad removes the "when the gm says so" aspect...

Re: Sooo... Immunity to magic

I agree that 100% DR seems broken and was left out for that very reason...

Saying that other pwoers were not in the previous editionsd is a little bit different... the powers were not in it... but this power -DR is... and it is limited...

Besides... DR wouldn't cover it, I don't think... because it is immune to ALL magic... Aid, Succcor, healing... none of them can effect it... or, as usual... is that an issue that I have not gotten to? Does DR subtract from those too?

Re: Points Equality

See... there are some things about xander that you are missing

1) Xander has a mighty metric buttload of body... he takes some of the most severe beatings in the series...

2) Xander is LUCKY... VERY INCREDIBLY LUCKY... with all the stuff that is going on around him, he's managed to survive it ALL...

3) THEN... in hero terms... he picks up a follower... a demon....

4) he's a weridness nexus... giving him insight that no one else gets...

so... he, by himself... no so cool.. but with the follower and the subtle stuff thrown in... I like the character concept

Re: Beam vs. Walls and Entangles

Ahh... you are completely right.

5eR... page 113

"Characters often buy Beam attacks with the Limitations Cannot Be Bounced and No Knockback, but they’re not required."

Re: Beam vs. Walls and Entangles

okay... here's a mechaqnics versus reality question

a laser is a beam by definition, but any reflective surface can reflect and refract it (basic photon behavior interacting with optics) Meaning that it CAN be bounced... off the right surfaces... how would that be modeled?

Re: Foxbat on MySpace

Well... my studio will be his official photographer if needs be*grins*

Re: Points Equality

I wanna play xander... Dead serious...
