See now you are rubbing it in! I knew I shouldn't have spent all those points on Comeliness and Teamwork (-17 roll, but Alas, I forgot that I'm by myself and cant use it until AFTER I bought it!)

You know...you ALWAYS kick my ass in these post.... 90% of the time I'm typing something and hit submit ONLY to see that you alread said it but beat me by a minute....you also seem to take my point makeups and redo them and make them BETTER!...BETTER DAMN IT!!!.....I need to figure out someway to hurt you...just dont know how yet!

Someone cut this man a Bonus Check..... His humility deserve reward!

Perhaps OIF is better than OAF since it not quite as easy to grab..... Since it has to be manifested.... just a though.

Where does magic come from in your world? Are MAges channeling inner forces? Manipulating Nature? Etc.? What I'd like to think is that if they are channeling inner force (think Chi) that to blow up a castle with one spell is the equivalent of Russian Roulette with Brain Cells....maybe, just maybe, they use way too much of their inner self this time...it could kill them instantly, make them forget a language, or cause a long illness....the effect is that they permanently loose some of their inner force if they "over due it".

I was using the charge to represent once it was created, it could not be recreated until the charge was renewed by "absorbing" it again...thus if it is created (using 1 charge) it could be used for H-T-H as long as necessary. If thrown, then it could be picked p and thrown again, if taken away...then ya better get it back or the power is gone....

Now Steve is just teasing you!

Re: Destroy the World 203 (Extra Credit) Without working out the specs.... Utopia generally has ALOT of nature....espically trees..... More trees means More pure Oxygen....more Oxygen means things can get flamible real, real quickly.... All we need is one spark, and the 100% pure Oxygen world goes Ka-Boom! Cost Power END 135 Pure Oxygen: Change Environment 1" radius (Long-Lasting: 1 Century), Megascale (1" = 10000 km; +1 1/4) (135 Active Points) 13 Powers Cost: 135

Re: Would U allow this? Multiple opinions welcome I dont like the way the power is built....the SFX doesn't fit a NND blast... Iwould require transform or summon with mods so that the shadow will become a Sticky Choke...the break out is up to you...and the NND is appropiate...

The Defense would have to be Ablative in nature (5th, p.77). This allows the defense to be "shot off little by little by attacks". If you want to rule, I'd make the attack be Penetrating with a limiter of "Only to damage defenses" at a -1/4 on the penetrating.... This means that even if enough doesn't exist to effect the power via the Ablative rules, 1 point of Body Min is done...

Try this... Cost Power END 7 Plasma Spear: Killing Attack - Hand-To-Hand 1d6 (plus STR) (vs. ED), Ranged (+1/2) (22 Active Points); 1 Recoverable Charges (-1 1/4), OIF (-1/2), Range Based On Strength (-1/4), Extra Time : Manifest (Delayed Phase; -1/4) Powers Cost: 7 Of course set the damage level to your own liking.... Also need to decide if STR can add to the damage...if not thats another -1/2. It is a OIF because once thrown it can be picked up and run away with thus causing the power to be gone.... When he picks it up, it disappears and his single charge returns...you can drop the extra time if you want it to appear quicker (ie instant)... what ya think?

This is a question that I seem to see popping up on numerous boards from WOTC to Rpgnet... So I thought I'd bring it here. There are many people who have put much time and effort into creating campaign worlds for fantasy games (and many more genre's). Some keep it simple with the whole intention of "create as you go" just so they can have something to game in. Others have spent years of their lives fleshing out worlds that the hope to someday write novels in, get published, etc. The question that I keep finding is on the lines of... I'm looking to create a world for my fantasy campaign. The problem is that I have no idea where to start. I also have no idea what to concentrate on: history, politics, scope, details, etc. Can anyone offer help as to where I should start? Espically those who have created before! I myself have spent some time on creating a world and have decided to put all those damnded post-it notes I scratched on at school, work, etc. into a nice printable format (and who knows, maybe when I get my 250000 word document together, fit into the writers guidelines, maybe I can find a buyer for say 7 to 8 thousand.. but thats another stiry all together). I've offered suggestions when I see these questions, but there always seems to be a wide scope of opinions. So I thought I'd make this post 2 parts... #1 Where would you reccomend someone start for their world creation? #2 What worlds have you created? And if you have a web page for it, why not post it for all to see. Lets see what everyone has to say... who knows, maybe we can get those people that make a living doing this to guide us mortal fools.

I'm thinking that MAgical powers will be sigle power attacks.... Since the power targers Magic powers, any magic that hits it is the target.... Am I all wrong here?

Hey now... i suggested a +1 to the Stun Mult... I'm feeling ya!

I'm thinking Post- Technological Apocolyps Swords and Sorcery.... but thats just me.

I'm not understanding that statement.... If effect physical Armor, not things like MAge Armor, etc. Explain please...

Good point...charges didnt even cross my mind....wasn't think of D&D rules just how to get it done. But I agree...Charges good!

The more I've thought about this (and if this happened mid game I wouldnt have this option) I think I would have ruled as follows.... OCV -10 (Hit location) DCV 1/2 -1 (Try to do something the character doesnt really know how to do...bjbrown made me think of this concept) NND (b/c the nature of the location would be NND) x2 Body x6 Stun EGO check (due to the natue of the Throat Colapsing) Sound good?

Champions easy.... If signed absolutly no contest!

Re: Chronicles of the Wishes Uuuhhh.....well....since you posted the question, I'm sure you want to tell it....can I say i'd be interested, i dont know...all ya gave me was a campaign name. But lets have a look see...

One thing that i've always done is throw most standard weapons out for my FH campaigns..... I then create Society appropiate weapons for the cultues... Somethings will stay.... basics like certain sword, axes, hammers, ect. But most others are repackaged with small changes to fit cultures... Take a Quarter Staff for example.... In one culture it has evolved into a hidden weapon. the staff is hollowed out at 2 parts to allow a sword and a spear to fit inside the staff. If necessary, the stall can be broken up into a spear (1 piece drops to the ground) or a spear and a sword (roughly the size of 2 shory swords) and used for 2 Handed Fighting. The spear end becomes a Parrying weapon (+1 DCV) while the sword the major strike weapon... when battle is over, the weapons twist (groves in the wood) back together to reform the staff....

Re: Rage's Stats EEEExxxxxxccccceeeeeeelllllleeeeent! -My Inner Evil GM

The question was is...Did Rage die? If a player takes his gloves off and takes a leap over the line in my game, they fully understand that the NPC's or Villians can too. Had something along the lines of a small scuffle with low end thigs go bad when a PC snapped a neck...just so happen it was the nephew of the MAIN Villian (was that way before the event occured, I didnt make it up to punish them) and the PC became marked for death. Took 1 more session and it happened, the Thugs were given the order to concentrate on him and no one else in the group...and they did. He couldn't handle 5 of them with team work.

Yeah, the jugular are a series of veins that run along both sides of the neck. They are excessively important for blood flow...when someone get their neck cut, its the jugulars that drop the pool of blood instantly. Absolutly....the only thing I'd add, as I mentioned before, is that the strike automatically becomes NND. Didn't take the time to look it up, but I'm 100% positive that if you find any Throat attack in UMA it will be listed as NND, as well it should. Hit me in the chest and my personal pd can take some of it. Hit me in the throat with the same power and, assuming I dont die, have my windpipe crushed, etc., I'd cry cry cry.
