Re: Necrons

The most wonderful thing about necrons

is necrons are wonderful things

their butts are made out of rubber

their legs are made out of springs

Re: How would you build this? A Voice that....

PRE is good for heroic games, and mind control of super heroic i think

Re: Just thinking. A possible enemy of zombies.

but ash is a enemy of zombies

Re: How would you build this? A Voice that....

EB, Change environment, some TK (to break windows) and mindcontrol/PRE

throw in continuous and such and maybe invisible power effects to sight

Re: I am hot!

Yeah you could just go with big PRE attacks, but that's not nearly as fun

Re: Magic Missiles

I can think of 3 ways to build it, the good, the bad and the horribly broken

1) good: AoE 1 hex accurate affects desolid NND EB (not does body as 1d4+1 damage per missle hardly does body to a DnD character,)

2) bad: AoE 1 hex accurate as above but megascaled so 1 hex = the world (this way you can't DFC from it, which i don't like but may appeal to some)

3) The Horribly broken (and my favorite) build it as a summon which continues to attempt movebys on the target until it succeds.

Re: Just thinking. A possible enemy of zombies.

zombie bacteria! zombie worms! ieeeeee

Re: Judging The Strength of Challenges/Encounters?

it's really a touch and go thing, make sure the speed isnt' too high, the armor and attacks are about right, and then just add some DR (to oversimplyfy alot)

Re: Desolid requires Life Support?

the better question would be, do you have to buy +2 affects real world on your LS?

Re: I am hot!

How about a big suppress speed? then just put on incantations and gestures and what not? the "lost" actions are spent mezmerized etc.

Re: I am hot!

Or a mental entangle to blend two suggestions together, make one BoECV.

Or maybe mental illusions

Re: Thoughts on the Speed Zone

what exactly does the speed zone do? i don't have the book but i'd love to hear more about this

Re: Advanced energy sources: Some thought and pretty big numbers.

as far as spaceflight goes, i once planned out a "hard Sci-fi" game, with no faster than light travel, just bending the laws of relativity a bit (one of the themes was to see how society changes over many years as technology is developed).

I used breeder ships powerd by nuclear fusion, here's one of my main sources http://www.daviddarling.info/encyclopedia/D/Daedalus.html

Re: Advanced energy sources: Some thought and pretty big numbers.

energy storage becomes feasible if it is a more convient way to transport energy, think about a ringworld-like structure which harvests solar energy then uses it to charge batteries or something

Re: Combat Precognition

One time, the final boss of a campain, was a person who could read the future so exactly that he knew what you would do before you did. You swing, he uses DFC, you mind control, he has mental forcefields, you AOE - he DFCs further, etc.

This was the most frusterating fight of the night, until he was double backstabbed by the god of assassins (he was the king of gods) and we find the lord of death has been pulling the strings all along. Didn't feel as anticlimactic as i just discribed, i swear.

But anyway it was a huge force wall to each defense and impossibly high, with the side effect that it moved you around and used your actions if you had them

Re: Good-by Speedster

Teleport' date=' as an attack, based on ECV[/quote']

 

Any movement useable as attack is ugly

Re: Good-by Speedster

Mental entangles (few high willed speedsters)

force walls, entangles used to make walls, supress speed, reverse gravity, TK (to grab them with a big hand), just plain grabbing them, and anything that doesn't work on DCV.

ouch

Re: Necrons

Ok, here's my suggestion, ressurection on an activation roll and if they fail to make it they die. Makes it easy to bring them back. and to me that was the scariest thing about necrons.

You may want to add some sort of 6- +2d6 on the gauss weapons to signify that rolling a 6 to wound automatically inflicts one wound (very scary) and maybe some more armor from that good armor save. Could be Damage reduction though, I'm just noting with a 1.5d6 RKA and 3rED they won't kill each other very fast, but does this mean space marines only have 3rPD?

Two other things, change the flight on the destroyers to "only over surfaces" to prevent ariel necron drop squad! and

necron warrior - 6"

necron warrior leaping - 11"

Necron prefered method of travel? -> boing! boing boing!

"steady men, here come those leaping skeletons of doom!"

Re: Idle thinkings on BattleTech

Honestly the reason to use HERO is because i already own it and the reason to not use battlemech is because i'm cheap, is everyone happy?

Re: How do I build werewolf & vampires?

ok, so lets add in "no concious control" to the transform so the GM can chose when it goes off, and when the HKA just kills them

Re: How do I build werewolf & vampires?

To build a werewolf virus it might be some version of a sticky no END, continous uncontrolled transform, to probably both physical and mental/spiritual (can't say for sure, never saw the 2nd movie).

Obviously the way to build werewolves and vampires oneshotting each other (i don't really recall many fight scenes but i recall they are all too short) would be some varient of damage reduction and vunerability

Vampires - DR to everything but UV rays, fire, and what ever else you like.

vunerable to werewolves x2 body

Werewolves - DR to everything but silver

vunerable to vampires (and silver if you want)

that'd be crazy though...

Re: Do you have Active Point Limits?

I've heard nine yards to either be the lenght of an ammo belt on a plane of some sort from world war two, or to be the amount of canvas in a sail (ie. running with the full nine yards out)

And generally we have AP suggestions and DC caps plus OCV+DCV caps

Re: How do I build?

build it as a character would be my first instinct, with powers useable by other (like a hand killing attack) and no range on that. But another way might be to build it as a computer.

Re: Idle thinkings on BattleTech

Ok, i'd never heard of a battletech RPG but upon googling it, it looks pretty good for the in mech stuff.

and yeah my roomate pointed out the range modifier when we were talking in the car tonight.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions!

Re: Slow reload/flintlocks, muskets etc.

my friend approached this problem with clips of 1 shot and extra time to change clips. I much more prefer the extra time which is what i suggested
