  1. I'm far more interested in what the defense against this power will be. As I interpret this, the OP wants a Disarm against reduced DCV(hence the Area of Affect) that does not have to overcome an opposed STR roll. I can envision using invisible TK for the DCV portion but to take a focus away requires either: 1- Stealing it from someone unaware(TK with Sleight of Hand, won't work against Inaccessible Foci) 2- Taking it in out of combat time from a helpless opponent. 3- Making an opposed Disarm vs an aware opponent(again, wont work vs Inaccessible Foci) #1 is doable with Teleport, #2 is how the Focus rules work by RAW anyway but #3 requires some bending of the rules to negate the STR of the target. As described he could just as easily take Mjolnir from Thor( if it was defined as OAF) as a pencil from Reed Richards. Same ability but no where near balanced in application.
  2. Episode 9 of this season's Game of Thrones This show must be perfectly tuned to my inner barbarian. The death at the end was brutal, agonizing and slow and I enjoyed every second of it.
  3. He's been stable at 6 or 7 since Valeria was born.
  4. I wouldn't worry about it enough to stat it up. It's just a SFX of calling the the base. If you feel you must then combine Floating or Fixed Locations with: A) Trigger if you want it to be hackable by villains or Gestures , Incantations and|or Extra Time in some combination if you want to just limit usage.
  5. I was going to write something about how I'll miss Ward. But then I remembered what next year's plot is and realized he could make an appearance.
  6. She's a bigger star than any of them were at the time they signed their initial contracts. RDJ is the only comparable and he was at a low point in his career when he signed on for IM.
  7. Too big a name and therefore too expensive and too old(by Hollywood standards) at 40.
  8. He couldn't call the cops. They would have arrested him for soliciting. He should at least be arrested for that now. Justice wasn't served here even if she reneged on a promise of service.
  9. The ruling in question states that Suppress cannot kill. I believe this is a holdover from older editions where Suppress could not take a target below zero. Drain is still deadly.
  10. Greywind needs to join the team somehow.
  11. Well without doing complex math. Auto-keep 5 and 6, auto-reroll 1 and 2. 3's have a 66% chance of doing same or better and 4's have a 50% chance for same or better. So re-roll 3's as it's a good bet and 4's are a coin flip.
  12. +X PRE only vs Snakes, only for hostile PRE attacks, OAF and Charges.
  13. Saving his mother and letting his younger self die would have created the classic paradox. His guilt is over failure to protect both his mom and his younger self.
  14. I dealt with it by houseruling Multiform into a Special Power so it couldn't be used in a framework. Summon is very powerful in a VPP but my houserule for VPP's(no limitations that are not on the Control Cost are allowed) keeps things under control for me. YMMV.
  15. Even if the laser cannon was smaller than a car (your assumption) it moves considerably faster. The thing is, you can Dodge or Dive for Cover vs ANYTHING as long as you are able to abort. Don't confuse Special Effects with Game Mechanics.
  16. By RAW, use maneuvers such as Block, Martial Escape and Reversal in conjunction with CSLs used on DCV. As a house rule, treat breaking free from Grab identically to breaking out of an Entangle.
  17. You can Dodge or Dive for Cover vs a laser cannon. Why would a car be impossible?
  18. Use Gradual Effect, not perfect but you can see the DoT precursors. Or just bring in DoT from 6th.
  19. If they keep to the comics, it'll be the most diverse show they have. Danny-Caucasian Misty-Black Colleen-Asian Shang-Chi-Asian Luke Cage-Black
  20. I wouldn't allow it in general because it's too easy to abuse. One power with 5 CSLs in a Multipower may be allowable but how many is too many 2?, 3?, 5? Every power past the 1st is getting +5 OCV for 1 point and that's assuming no limitations are involved. Also, what is the incentive for buying OCV in these builds?
  21. Change being Stunned to taking >50% of your current Stun. Move all the purely optional Con roles to Body and you're done with taking Con out of the game. You'll see higher Stun totals vs defense creep and higher Body (15-20) IME but not much other change. Combats are shorther by 1-2 phases.
  22. Con is the new Com. It has very little use beyond resisting being Stunned.
  23. The current arc is positioning Superman as a messiah. Next up he rises from the dead to save us.
  24. Saw the movie yesterday and it wasn't bad but could have been so much better. Too much of the plot hinges on Lex's far reaching power and genius He plays Batman like he's been his shrink of 20 years. The military gives him unrestricted and unsupervised access to Zod and the ship He figures out secret id's like crossword puzzles. ( He should be smart enough for this but its glaring that he does and the government is clueless.) Batman has to be OOC violent, stupid( he has no knowledge of the other metahumans, hunh?) and a near psychotic a$$hole for the plot to advance. He won't kill Joker or Ras but is willing to murder Superman on the chance he'll do something bad someday. That said, I liked the movie overall. It could have used more happy moments ( Bathtub scene is the only one.) and I'd have liked to see the fight vs Doomsday instead of figures moving in dust clouds.
