Re: Theron's Bay City Mash-Up thanks for posting the adventure summaries. they are great reading, and this looks like a pretty fun campaign to be a part of. question for ya. what point level did you start your "2nd string" heroes at? I have been thinking of something similar as a side adventure for the group i am in, and was curious what you were doing. thanks!

Re: Affecting desol help... cold iron springs to mind as something that has been known to affect the supernatural, and would probably be something a mystically inclined character would know about.

Re: an Independent Review of Traveller Hero hey guys, thanks for all the info. it really helps!

Re: an Independent Review of Traveller Hero hi all... i have a question for someone who may have gotten and read the books, or the authors themselves if available. i am a new to traveller player, and was interested in picking up the books, to get a better feel for the the campaign world. the review listed above has me a little worried, as the author states that a copy of traveller core rules is needed for some references. in purchasing the books, am i going to get sufficient flavor and fluff to get a good handle on the traveller universe, or are these not the right books for that? thanks

hi steve, in my game, there is a character with an elemental control and power defense. this character is hit with a drain that affects a power within the control. now, i know normally that the drain affects the power in question and all other powers in the control, plus the EC base, effectively doubling the effectiveness. this character also has 10 points of power defense. the character is hit with a drain that would reduce 10 points from his power. since this is below the Power defense, no points should be drained, correct. in other words, when a power is drained from an EC, it is like each power in the EC is hit with a seperate application of the drain, and the power defense works against each instance, so in the above example, even though 10 points is drained from each power, it washes against the power defense. if the drain had been for 15 points, it would net 5 points removed from the affected power, and all other powers in the EC, correct? thanks for the help

hi Steve, i would like to give a character with an EC and absorb power that feeds an Energy blast in that EC. now i know that you need to adjust both the base cost of the EC and the Energy blast to have an effect, by my question is this. say the absorb has the advantage to boost two powers at the same time. my character absorbs 10 points. now, both the base cost and slot cost gain 10 active points. the EC is 30 points, and the Energy blast is a 30 point slot(12d6) does the active points on the energy blast go up to 80 (16d6) or only 70(14d6) thanks a bunch.
