  1. Re: Building an "Inflict Pleasure" power You could define "Pleasure" as the absence of pain for this instance, and call the "Feel Pleasure" as a Stun Aid with the special effect of the target feels absolutely incredible. Though, if you'd rather not have a Stun Aid, I'd second the Ego Entangle for the "You feel so amazingly awesome that you really can't do anything" feeling.
  2. Re: Surviving fall from orbit Would people smack me if I said "One hex of Gliding"?
  3. Here's a question that I just came up with, in regards to Usable By Others and it's aggressive counterpart, Usable Against Others. Let's say that Buff the UBO-Man has a spray-can of "Kevlar in a Can". It's 10/10 Armor, Usable By Others. I have 10/10 Armor, and Buff sprays his "Kevlar in a Can" on me, giving me the 10/10 armor from his power. Since I have 2 instances of 10/10 armor, now I have 20/20 armor. (PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong or insane.) Now, I know this wouldn't work with, say, Energy Blasts or such, but what about things like Movement powers or other such? If I have 10" of running, and Buff hits me with "Workout in a Can" to give me an extra instance of 10" running, do I have 20" Running now? Would this work for Growth (and by extension, its counterpart "Shrinking")? What about enhancements on Senses (microscopic vision, telescopic vision)? Thanks in advance. - A very confuzzled Buddha
  4. Re: Power Design Though now my question is this: In regards to overlapping continuous energy blasts... would they do one big lump sum of damage, or loads of little dice pools of damage? Let's say for sake of argument that Havoc has a 3d6 EB Continuous. Let's be generous and throw 0 Endurance on it. Phase twelve, he fires, rolls 3d6 for damage, and hulk rolls his eyes. Phase three, he fires again. Does he roll 6d6 for damage, or 3d6 twice? Alternatively, can you roll a coordination roll with yourself? All I'm seeing here is just Havoc rolling 3d6 like a hundred times, and the Hulk considering keeping Havoc around as a back scratcher... Unless those dice add up, in which case I know the power construct that I'm building in *every* energy projector I build...
  5. Re: WWYCD: Brawl At Rick's (Another Bar Fight) Sinew would start with diplomacy. A five foot tall mouse has to start somewhere... "Guys! There's no point to trying to change his mind by trying to kick his ass." If that fails, Sinew would dial up the local authorities, and then would jump over the bar and interpose herself, hoping her high resistance to damage and regenerative powers keep her from getting seriously injured, while fending off the assailants by whatever means she can. She would not use her claws against normal people, since they're sharper then surgical steel. Though, it's entirely possible that the bar has a baseball bat under the ledge and hold off until the authorities arrived. After the fight, Sinew would mend any serious injuries (bottle cuts, etc.) via her ability to spontaneously generate template-less stem cells. On the other hand, Sable would start with "Leave my bartender alone or you're going to regret it..." He'd wait to see if folks want to test the word of a six foot tall ferret. With a single motion, Sable would cut open the throat of one of the goons on his side of the bar, then Presence attack the one active assailant, "Pick this piece of shit up and never come back here, otherwise you'll be looking to fill in two slots for this piece of shit caper of your's..."
  6. Re: The Champions Protocols -- Story-focused version Sinew, a world renowned meta-paramedic and shapeshifter extraordinare, is incredibly sensitive to cold. To remove her from action for a time, merely expose her to a sudden blast of intense cold. In extreme cold, her metabolism begins to slow down, and her normally alterable form begins to harden and solidify. Once brought to a chill, she remains aware yet unable to move. Keep her chilled, and you have a nice statue of a world renowned meta-paramedic. Oh, and don't really worry about her fighting back. Her throwing her fists at someone would be like throwing a grape at them.
  7. Re: WWYCD in the event of an approaching army In the middle of the night, as the army advances, there is a gurgleing noise coming from the guy that used to shout out the orders to this army of barbaric soldiers. Turning to face their previous leader, the soldiers find their commander with four thin cuts across his throat. Each night the army approached, the same fate would await the leader until one of two things happened: Either the army got the message and ran for the hills, or they appointed a really cute general. Whereupon Sable would sneak into her chambers and negotiate privately. In the event of a failed excursion, Sable's ability to make himself roughly an inch tall, coupled with his ability to hold his breath for over an hour and his ermanoid swimming, would allow him to escape through any pipe or tunnel. Worst case scenario: The nighttime attack fails, Sable ducks into a nearby building, shrinks, and jumps down a drainage drain or sink. Under no circumstances will this tiny sable be flushing himself down any toilets.... they smell like poo gas. As far as all those people begging for a merciful death goes, "Relax, this'll be over in a few days."
  8. Re: WWYCD: Discovering the nature of reality? Sable, at this point in the scene, has come to the conclusion that it's another mentalist deciding to use his mind as a playground. "You're not real." Sable would say to the slightly overweight Irish-Italian on the other side of the monitor, "So this whole 'you're in control of my life' thing, yeah, that's bullshit." Sable would be silent for a moment, "Though, on the off chance that this is real, and that Meridian City is actually this messed up by some divine whim or something, I guess it wouldn't hurt to say thanks for .... you know, not having me die, and thanks for, well... thanks for being the other guy who doesn't think I got the bum stone. Now, if you don't mind, Annie-Bell's working tonight, and I can't sit here and talk to some figment of my imagination. When I come back, you better not still be here. Oh, and tell Brainscan he's still a dick." As for that slightly overweight Irish-Italian on the other side of the screen, he'd sit there for a moment, wondering indeed if all of his creations were real in some world, and then look through all the horrible monsters and creatures he had made for all of his other games, then shrug, and decide that NOW, that he has begun to hallucinate, that NOW was the right time to go to bed.
  9. Re: WWYCD: Snakes on the Plane! Sable would be at a slight disadvantage, cause at his smallest size he's literally bite size to even the smallest snake, though his hyper-fast reflexes and razor sharp claws will let him show off to all the really cute female "flight attendants" while ensuring that most of the people on the plane don't get seriously hurt. "Sheesh, who packed the zoo? You guys do actually CHECK the bags you throw onto these planes, don't you? Bombs and shit you find, hell, you said I couldn't take my can of Jolt on the plane because you thought it'd have dynamite on it, but can junior take his pet snake collection? Sure, in fact, just so that junior doesn't have to decide which snakes to leave behind, we'll take EVERY DAMN SNAKE HE OWNS, and you guys stop me because I'm carrying a potential risk?!" Sable would have serious words with the airline company after the plane landed. If worst comes to worst, he and his team have ways off the plane...
  10. Re: WWYCD if their reflection suddenly winked at them? Sable would check again, to see if his reflection again blinked, then strut out to the office. "Hey gang, my reflection just winked at me, so I think we need to find Brainscan and tear his head off." (Brainscan is a mentalist NPC that has a history of invading the team's dreams to provide cryptic clues. When confronted with this, he went on record saying he's not permitted to be specific. He immediately went to the near-top of "people who the team wants to tear apart" list.)
  11. Re: WWYCD: Hi! We're your Sidekicks! In patented SABLE-VISION: So someone comes along, with the same powers and claiming to be his sidekick. Any male sidekicks will be turned away. "This job is far too dangerous." Any female sidekicks will be given a whole different set of questions: First question Sable would ask, "How old are you?", and hope that the answer is at least Legal. Second question would be, "Adventurous? Open to new experiences?" and hope that the answer is affirmative. Third question would be, "Seeing anyone?" and if the answer is no, he'd proceed immediately with... "Those real?" with a grin.
  12. Re: WWYCD: The Darkest Hour Let's see, Sable is a skirt chasing anthropomorphic erminoid with shrinking powers who normally spends his time tracking down information and working up the nerve to ask Sparkle, the team hotness, out. After the psychological mindjob, you'll find Sable every night in the local strip club stuffed down the shirt of the stipper of the night, swimming in rum and cleavage. Oh wait, we're supposed to catch this psychic?
  13. Re: The Champion Protocols (ie how to take down your character) Most of my characters tend to have weaknesses because, well, it's no fun playing Zeus. Let's see, my current characters are: Sable: My shrinking Anthropomorphic super-spy. While his minute statue makes him difficult to detect, let alone target, he is poorly defended, and still needs to breath like everyone else. His growth is slow and gradual, denying him any form of momentum to break out of entangles. An area effect from surprise will neutralize him, and the most effective way to break his concentration is with a sufficiently cute girl. Michiko Akuta: Martial Artist Anthropomorphic rat. Nimble and incredibly difficult to sneak up on, though her society focuses on the appeasement of the dead. Lure her into a situation where many people have recently been killed, and while she's trying to ensure that all of the recently deceased move on to a higher (or lower) place, blaze away with area-effect attacks. Entangleing her is next to useless, though. Knockout gas works wonders.
  14. Re: WWYCD for a klondike bar? (humorous please) Sable: "Hmmmm... okay, I'd dress up as Barbie's stupid little sister, but I get to eat the Klondike while I'm tiny." *weasel-toothed grin* (Sable is my shrinking sneaky-sneaky anthropomorphic weasel.)
  15. Re: Your PCs might be overpowered if... Sorry to Necromance, but I had a character that actually did something like that. Move Through on Volcanus, the Titan, who had connected himself to the spiritual center of the earth yadda yadda, so I move through'ed him at full move speed, and maybe a Non-Com multiplier or two, since he was so big I literally couldn't miss.. Well, I did twenty hexes of knockback to him after his KB resist, and the Earth moved with him. I think we forgot put it back...
  16. Re: Post your most abusive munchkin character here Though, staying a bit more on topic, the most abusive munchkin character I've ever come across was one that I wasn't running, but rather was in a game that I ran, and was a major contributing reason for the game ending where it did. The campaign was inherited from one of the other people in the game, who wanted to play in the game instead of run it. There's a lot of explaination, but well, this isn't the "Explain about the campaign" thread. The character was "Black Samurai". Hideous Martial artist with: - No Fringe Invisiblility to Sight, Hearing, and Mental - Stealth 18- - Shadowing 17- - Detect: Life Force / Ch'i (Passive Sense, Targeting, Ranged, Discriminatory, Analyze, Tracking, 360 Degree, +10 Telescopic) 20- - 3D6-1 HKA x1 Armor Piercing (Bought as a Katana) - A full Martial Arts Package (With Weapon Element: Sword) - 15" Teleport (Fully invisible, of course) His idea of diplomacy was to teleport behind someone invisibly and Martial Choke them. In desparate times (RE: Facing something he couldn't choke), he'd teleport behind them and Sworded them. *sigh* So what, dare say, do you do against something like that? Well, you do what I did... Apply the character against a template of a normal person to find out the "Black Samurai Template", then apply it to another NPC or two, and have them beat the ever-living snot out of him. Vengeful, sure? Petty, I'll admit it was... But he dared not complain. And hence Rule 2 of Dealing with Twinkies, which reads: Engineer a situation where the advantages they expliot are used against them, and see how fair they find it. If they are alright with it, then they're better for it. If they whine and moan about it being unfair, then well... they're all yours.
  17. Re: Post your most abusive munchkin character here One of my more "abusive" powers as it were was quite simple in it's twinkie-ness, which in effect makes it all the more sinister. In 5th Edition, simply buy a 1 Pip RKA, with Area effect, Hex. Then slap on a MegaArea, and increase it so that single pip can cover the entire planet. The effect of this, you ask? Shatter every window on the face of the earth? Cute, but no... Irritate every hero and villian on the planet? Well, maybe, but you'd only need to worry about the ones with Life Support: Doesn't Breath, cause that power was built to inflict one point of Killing Body to every organism on the planet. This includes all the lovely plankton in the oceans. Mind you, it's an end of the world power, but it's also amazing what you can do with 60 Active.
