Re: Hadoken! 30" Leaping, UAA, Only If Knockback Dealt with Other Multipower Attack, Only in Direction of Knockback

Re: Sooo... Immunity to magic Funny idea occurred to me - in order to get immunity, you have to accept an x2 damage Disadvantage from another sfx. Might make for an interesting game, similar to Rock-Paper-Scissors. Vulcan - "Ha Electro-Man! I'm immune to your puny electrical blasts!" Electro-Man - "Yes, I know. That's why I invited my friend, The Flaming Inferno. Inferno, meet Vulcan. Through a freak accident, his body was converted to rubber." Vulcan - "oh shi blub, blub.

Re: Rise up and smite them! Do the animated statues etc. act on their own? Can he set a street sign to attack anyone in range, then run away or do something else while the sign continues? If so, it's Summon. I'd think about putting OddHat's list in a Multipower.

Re: Firewalling Mental Attacks How about the equivalent of "Cover"? The mentalist hides behind a bystander.

Re: WWYCD: the times of peace are upon us Physician - realizes that the human race needs balance and examples to focus their goals and ambitions. He would use his reality-manipulating powers to secretly create supervillians to restore the necessary struggle.

Re: Splatproofing megascale flight Seriously, if your character can zoom fast and see & avoid, that's either mega-senses or lightning reflexes (up to SPD 12). If you have mega-senses while flying, shouldn't you have them on the ground too? I.e. don't Link the sense with the movement? If you can't see far but fly fast, then you need to be able to dodge really well. How about Flight, No-Turn Mode? +10 to Dodge and Danger Sense? Just having fun, no need to pay attention.

Re: Splatproofing megascale flight +10/10 Armor, Megascale, Linked to Megascale Flight. What?

Re: WWYCD: Dead Enemies are no fun.

Re: Interesting Fact about Throwing That floppy javelin used in "Revenge Of The Nerds" is the best one ever designed. They outlawed its use in the Olympics because they wanted to protect the older record-holders. Saw that in Wiki. Just like they restrict technological improvements in golf. Anti-sports bastards.

Re: Master List of Scales in HERO Wow. So many words. I thought there were only three scales to include in the Master List of Scales: - Snakes - Alligators - Fish You people sure talk a lot 'bout nuthin.

Re: Move Through Interception Seems like you could impose a -1" movement speed for every 1 BODY taken in a movethrough. At -14" of velocity, it'd take 3" to come back up to full speed. Seems realistic that blasting through sandbags or a wall or whatever would slow you down. Of course, there's nothing in the rules like that as far as I know. In the end, do whatever is the most fun.

Re: Get the tomato juice ... OK, 15 STR TK, AoE, only to repel life with noses. BOECV.

Re: Armour has a fixed SFX? Now that's just silly. Call it "K". That makes it simple, and leaves room for 25 other powers.

Re: Get the tomato juice ... 12d6 Drain COM?

Re: Multiform Question It's not my game system - have to talk to Steve about that, but you won't get far. We're free to do so in our individual games.

Re: Superhuman women and normal women Y'know, they say beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I'm not sure there is such a thing as super-beauty. No one has been able to paint or airbrush anything that is that much better than reality. Really good reality, but still "normal". I think super beauty might require some sort of mind control, to readjust perceptions or something. Induce hallucinogenic chemicals in the brain of the observer or something. I don't think you can just "have" it.

Re: And I'll Form Your Head! If you can't use Transform, use EDM! Duh!

Re: Multiform Question Yes, Multiform can easily be unbalanced. Take any five 350pt superheros, add in a sixth form that pays for the multiform and Viola! You get to play any of those guys! Hopefully the GM stops that. Also, the Disadvantages of a character might not be worth as much if it's easy to switch to another character that has different Disadvantages. That can put the squeeze on abusing Multiform a little.

Re: Power build help... player wants a player that can make "wormholes"... Re: portal to the sun - you might want to make clear with the player what he intends to do with this power. It's described well, but it's not exactly suitable for "reason from effects". At least tell him he isn't going to be able to open a gate underneath someone and drop them at the bottom of the ocean. Depending upon how he intends to use it, this power might be Gate, Clairsentience, RKA, TK, etc.

Re: Philosophical question I don't think we, who live nailed to the time vector, can make judgements as if we were free of that dimension. You probably have to develop a whole 'nuther set of values depending upon how Time works.

Re: Accumulating points Yup, and if the skill has a base time-to-perform that is long already, you might have to wait a while.

Re: Master List of Scales in HERO Yeah, another way to say it is "it's linear, but the line doesn't intersect at 0." There's an offset, it equals the DEF.

Re: Philosophical question Y'know, I seem to recall that Hitler was a genius that lead Germany to take over the world. Then some troublemaker went back in time and messed with his upbringing and set him up to become insane. Supposedly, this was done to unify the world with a fight against demonstrable "evil". Not sure how all that turned out.

Re: Philosophical question In that case, I'd do my very best to alter my memory of the future. All other efforts seem doomed.
