Black Ops

Re: The Perils Of Helpless Holly

Black Ops: "Yawn..." gates Holly to safety and the Villain into his usual Prison Cell.

Headcase: Takes possession of the mutated something and sets Holly onto the ground. Then goes after the Villain. (Has after all a tracking sense.)/Alternately tries to hold her using his TK

Yomi: Goes at the Monster at the risk of letting the Villain run.

Re: A Super powered Nation

Black Ops. "Ughh. There is a reason I do not like to go out and mix into International things. If you had not messed with some of my friends I would not even be here. Try it for all I care." Shruggs and goes (teleports)(He is from a pretty dystopian place).

Headcase:"Odd Idea. Why not hire somebody competent to solve the problem ?" (Yes He is kinda Iron Age)

Yomi: "You are under Arrest!"

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

The San Diego Knights reunite in a quest for new members. Gauntlet is back in charge while Steel Thunder tries to get married by throwing the granddaddy of all martial arts tournaments.

 

Red Baroness: So, Gauntlet, have you considered going on tour in Europe? That would be a vacation for you.

 

Gauntlet: Well, they do like jazz in Germany. But what kind of guy could I really find in Germany? I'm not a gay cabaret club sort of girl. And I don't really want a dolled up blond woman in leather and a riding crop for a boyfriend.

 

Red Baroness: Gauntlet, all Germans are not like that.

 

I do not get it.

Is that Baroness German ?

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

I got him.

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

Vampire LARP way back a few years:

New Players get introduced to the Prince of the City.

One Player got the GM`s to allow him a really old Toreador.

He is badly overacting and starts his introduction: "I am the GREAT LEONARDO .....!"

Voice out of the off: ".........Di Caprio!"

Death by Laser Vision........

"He found a dragon egg. The dragon hatched and ate him. The end."

I would love it if it was the plot of that horrible : Estragon...or whatever movie.

8. The ability to regenerate from even mortal wounds and ignore illness.

9. The ability to teleport (closely related to flight, but it differs significantly).

10. The ability to selectively enhance your senses at will: see vast distances, hear ordinarily inaudible sounds, function in the dark as if it were day, track by scent, and so forth.

As some earlier posters said depends on the psychological baggage.

But:

#1 It needs a lot of training/psychological damage to make a person use a deadly power, but who never whished that something was broken or no longer there ?

#2 Is highly likely to be used for mischief, so they might inhibit the sense of morals.

#3 Who did never want to wander into Areas where one was not allowed into ? I think It could quickly lead to theft.

#4 See #3, plus I think the person getting this power is a lot more likely to travel.

#5 Accidents happen sooo quickly....

#6 Dare I say it ? Always knowing what to say ? Being the perfect Sales Person ?

#7 Is badly phrased. Any Object? But do I need to say that the Gold Market might be slightly destabilized afterwards ?

#8 Not much. But it is likely to lower the fear of taking risks.

#9 See #4 + #3

#10 Is likely to have not overtly much impact. (Expect for the Optometrist.)

Re: Bronze Archer, Agent of PRIMUS

Re: Bronze Archer, Agent of PRIMUS

The 5D6 RKA seems a very lethal attack to me.

But I have only 5th ed., it might be less lethal in the 6th ed.

Sorry.

Re: ANYONE KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT: Monday the eliminator?

Not much known about this guy. He was pretty mysterious.

But I will dig out my Scout Collection and report further Info I can find.

( At the least it is a excuse to reread that stuff.)

Re: BioFix - We're here to help!
