  1. Yeah, I'd rather use a Trigger and/or an activation roll rather than futz around with AI for Coinspinner. Meanwhile I found that Surbrook has a writeup for Stormbringer already. It's missing some features that I would have included, like the rare interdimensional teleport and the bloodlust it ignites in its wielder, and I'd make the soul transfer into an NND, but otherwise it's a solid writeup.
  2. Yes, and then build an area effect Transfer END to Mana, and the mage can burn the warrior's END instead! Virtually every FH game I've played in has run magic out of END or a Mana stat (typically figured as EGOx2). I detest tracking either so I have a tendency to buy spells down to 0 END anyway. I did write up one Dark Sun campaign where I was going to have spells run off environmental mana, wherein casters would be equipped with an area effect Transfer Mana (or vegetation Body) to an internal Mana that would then power their spells. It would have been cool as it would have forced casters to move around to hexes that hadn't yet been drained, but it was also going to be a hell of an exercise in bookkeeping.
  3. That's probably a little too strong. The EC is a holdover from when it was "the United States are" and not "the United States is". Once upon a time it made sense for states to vote on the presidency rather than individuals. But that probably hasn't been the case for a century now, which is why I advocate for the abolishment of the EC.
  4. I wonder if I will ever be able to get out of my own way.
  5. I could sure as hell use some more speech this Christmas.
  6. Nature can be lethal, but it doesn’t hold a candle to man. Now, you’ve seen how bad things can get and how quickly they can get that way. Well, they can get a whole lot worse. So, we’re not gonna fight anymore. We’re going to pull together and find a way to get out of here. First we’re going to seal out this--
  7. Interestingly enough, one of the original purposes of the EC appears to have been preventing the election of an unqualified populist candidate by the mob. That's why the Constitution doesn't hold the electors to the votes in their respective states. State laws do, but it could be argued that those laws are unconstitutional. I'm hearing reports that some electors are requesting intelligence briefings on the Russian influence issue.
  8. You can't win, Darth. If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine.
  9. I want you to promise me you're not gonna stop this fight, no matter what. No matter what!
  10. Gettin’ the shakes now. Last call for drinks. Bar's closin' down. Sun's out. Where we goin' for breakfast? Don't wanna go far... Rough night. Tired, baby... Tired...
  11. Yes, ma'am. I've killed Doyle Hargraves with a lawnmower blade. Yes, ma'am, I'm right sure of it. I hit him two good whacks in the head with it. That second one just plum near cut his head in two.
  12. I would have followed you, my brother…my captain…my king.
  13. Please boss, don’t put that thing upon my face. Don’t put me in the dark. I is afraid of the dark.
