Re: WWYCD: The Dark Side. The Rose: Hmm this is interesting. His only modivation for being a Hero is due to his Family, and for personal fame. However if his family was the Villian. Maybe a high lever Mob Boss. His powers would definatly have to change. As it stands he only has one offensive use of Tel. and that is his ability to send someone away. If he was 'Evil' he would need some way to Tel. someone iside out and back quickly enough to Hurt but not kill them. Also his other big thing is Pre so he would probably build up a large rep as being 'the man' in charge and utterly unstopable(altough in real life he has that mastique, but he is quite killable). La Rose.

Re: Fun power - how to create it you don't recalculate the value of the str becuase of the advantages on the HA. You add directly to it with only a limit as to how much you can add being equal to your HA. Now in the case of HKA you add str at a equated value based on the adders on the HKA. Such as a AP HKA would have you adding one DC(damage Class) from you str at a rate of 7.5pts of str for one DC. Also in the case of HKAs you can only add str up to double the HKA's starting value. La Rose

Re: Fun power - how to create it His str gets to figure into it with all the advantages and disads automatically untill he hits a number of dice from str as he has bought. IE he is buying 3.5 dice so he can add 3.5 dice with no worry from his str but the remaining amount of str will just be normal. Or at least that is how I read the rules on adding Str to damage.

Re: Freedom Fighters/alternate history I enjoy this concept and your rational for it. But i still come to a impass. Even if you switch the technological advantage to soviets, which is the most critical thing you did. We were developing the A-Bomb independently shortly after the war started in Europe. And although we might not have the drive to push it along as we did in the real world since we wouldn't have entered the war, we would have cracked the problems with it and had it not to long after the Soviets I think. So we would catch up albeit slowly with the soviets so how would they managed to invade the US and win. Also something to note about the Oil Wars. Assuming that Canada is on our side we wouldn't have to much to worry about. I remember learning somewhere that Canada is sitting on what Might be one of the Largest oil deposits in the world. Also we alone have 3-4percent under US soild and that is enough to run us as is with no change in living for fourtyish years. What I ponder as being a real possibility is that Durring the Man. projects that developed the Bomb. The couple(whos name escapes me) flees the US with all the data to Soviet Russia and that is where the major timeline shift happens. We would be in the Pacific war and be turning main land Japan into another Okkinawa. Soviets provide aid to China and Korea in getting the Japanese out of there land but refuses to move further claiming insufficient resources, all the while only securing the boarders on the German front and never moving in. As we plunge more and more time and men into securing Japan Europe will finally run dry against the Germans our D-day turns into a slaughter(even more so) since the Germans are capable of bringing in more forces. Durring what seems to be the last year of the war Russia finally developing Two Bombs starts brokering deals in Europe without US knowledge. They will begin and offensive if the most of the 'allies' sign a version of the colonial charter agreements where by they will conduct bussiness with Russia as a mother nation and not be allowed any other dealings w/out aproval. At the same time they must surrender all colonies to Russia. Once colonies are surrendered in mid-east. Move factories down there to stimulate the economy and be Heroes to the middle east. After all that they slowly move into Germany letting the Musslim's oil drive there force while at the same time instilling a since of unity with Russia by doing propaganda ads showing the importence of the Musslims in the New World Order(never tell your people you don't like there religion becuase that breeds to much distain at the start). Knowing that the US doesn't completly trust them but needs them. Start placing ships in the pacific claiming a desire to safeguard supply lines. Next step is to bardered deals with the US to make a Single devistating attack on the Japanese using a new weapon. As best they can they need to arrange for a attack on Berlin and Tokyo at the same time*even to the minute if they really could.* lauching Two A-Bombs on both site and calling it a briliant achievement by the communist movement. After all they managed to quel both rebelions in the same day. All the while brokering deals of Aid to Mexico to resucure(redifine) there boarders with US and take back Texas, and Californial. Most inportantly Cal. The buety of the plan is that they try and make as many people dependent on there finaincial backing durring the War by rediverting western europes industies TO Russia and moving Busisness down to the middle east and making them dependent on Russian Money. So if either area disobeys durring war you let them fall to germans. If they disobey afterwards you move in a small militial to maintain peace and cut of the supply lines so there people will be impoverished. Most people will allow a dictator to live and rule if they are fed. Also don't directly fight the US. just supply Mexico so they can. Also broker the idea before the conclussion of the war so it isn't as easily seen. As long as the US can't directly blame the Soviets they will remain untouchable. After all they Americans can solve there own business. Once Mexico takes over Cal and Texas move in forces and allow the Mexicans to move accros the US while you just fortify possitions. Always let the Mexicans feel like they are the ones winning the war and the ones in charge. IT will make it easier for them to be controlled in the end. And in the end just control the US though Mexico. Canada is the only nation I can't think of how it would be taken down. Along with austrailia as well, But you could just simply invade. They had a very minimul military force and Aus. is a big nation to defend anyway. La Rose, Sorry for it being so lengthy.

Re: Here's Me special... Very special. La Rose

Re: Need some help with teleporting character concept. You can abort with Teleport. when you dive for cover your only restriction is that you can use megascale if i remember right. As far as a attack that simulates hitting an opponate and moving away. Just check with you GM if you can create your own MA and with one of them build an attach like charge/move-by where you must be able to exicute a movement of sutibale length and durring witch you deal damage while 'passing by.' Along with that a plus one OCV and DCV would be good mods to simulate catching your op. off guard. My name sake is accually designed somewhat like a low lever MA who utalizes his teleportation has his major combat ability. Even have a Teleportation usable as an attack. La Rose

Re: Superpowered Worlds

Re: The Champion Protocols (ie how to take down your character) My crew is luckily balanced/durable in many ways. 1.) the newest member "emerys." Hard to hit but low stun. He is a Demon fox that if indangered to much has his natural instincs kick in and turns to a uncontrolled 7' beast. You have to take him out quickly, so catch him off guard is best option becuase of the extra stun. also is very pridefull and distains humans(long story) so you can lure him into a fight easy enough. 2.) Larsh. A small half-breed demon/dragon. He can fly and has claws that can rip anyman in two. He is a mini-brick so physically hurting him is hard not to mention his 30dex/10cv. But he favors using fly-bys and throughs so he wears himself out fast. Best option is let let him wear himself out then preform the last hit. Also easy to mind control. 3.)Ossolot. A wolverine like regen/ressurect feline human. She is hard as hell to hit and with her 3/4 regen can survive most attacks. But a good portion of her defenses are combat luck so catch her off guard you can pin her and stun her easy. Then move up quick for the kill(no one shot has ever killed her.) But to keep her dead you would have to...Well she would kill me if I told. 3.) The Rose. Leader of these misfits and eire to a massive french economic empire. His father gets tomorrows news today so is able to warn him of many impending threads(if he would ever care to ask). He is also very fast at 29dex/10 cv and speed 8(compared to everyone elses 30dex and 6speed.) He is very hard to hit but doesn't pack enough of a punch to take anyone tough really out. However he has nearly mastered dodging for cover and parrying off attacks. Also, although he couldn't stop say the ripper he can last longer in a protracted fight with his recov of 20 he never really tires so ussually is the one to distract untill his mini brick can do the take down. However he is always doing public apperences can be easily killed out of combat. So in the end the best way to beat our group with the exception of Larsh is just shoot us out of combat and move up for the kill. Larsh is the easiest to let himself tire and even ming control/illussion him. La Rose.

Re: Ok, this is a Stargate question? This is what I imagine the Last Gate symbol is, and why it is "Called" the point of origin. It has been made clear in many episode that the gates automatically line themselves up in relation to other gates. And that the only reason why this wouldn't occur is if there was no DHD to make the Conection. So think of the DHD as a homing becon for ever other. As long as it is hooked up it will continuely update its memory with the current intersteller adresses periodically. We Know that the first Six symbols are for defining where in space you are going. But instead of considering them staight coordinates think of them as a logic problem. If you have a spell check that automatically tries to assume what word you writting, this is similar. You defind the first symbol and the DHD automatically eliminates 38/39 of its coordinates as possiblities and continues to do this. It isn't making a Three dimentional address but rather anticipating what you want like spell check. The reason why it asks you about the "home adress" is little more than a safty protocol. It is to insure that you know how to properly congigate what your spelling. And you don't Necessarily only have 39 possible home adresses. It is just giving you a multiple choice question. IT defines its part of space into 39 diferent 'local adresses and asks you for the proper one. Also the Home symbol is never used in earlier adresses so the DHD assumes that once you indicate your home adress(even if it is by accident) you are done and will try and dial. IT the address isnt possible it ignores your intry. Hence the reason why SGC spent all those years with only one success before they relized that they had to enter not only the correct home address but do it in the correct order. That is what I think at least if you see any "holes" in my idea please let me know so I can account for them. La Rose.

Re: automatons Well by rules he wouldn't but a NND with Does Body respresenting Nerve Gas would still mess with an automoton that doesn't have the "doesn't breath" or "Imune to Chemical warfare agents." Although off hand I can't think of any way(not magical at least) that could hurt a Auto. that has all the Imunity LS but not "Doesn't breathe?" Is there somehting anyone can think of? La Rose

Re: automatons wouldn't the problem of it "wearing out" be more of an issue of taken and rec(repairing) damage. And on the 'Imortal' life support even a human has to do "rutine care" or it can just decay and fall apart(over a very long time). So I think the SF/X on the Imortal is just general care and upkeep needed.(not enough of a disad to be for a limitation either) la Rose

Re: automatons that is what I kinda feared. But at least I set aside points for it anyway. thank you La Rose

This might seem like a really stupid question but, Do automatons suffer the same disads as humans when it comes to needing to eat/sleep/breathe? Or do they get the LS by defualt? Didn't want to bother steve unless I had to. Thank you La Rose

Hello Guys, I know this isn't the normal kinda thread you get here. But I was trying to find out wheather or not if you buy a AI for a Veh(assuming the V. is buying it as part of the design) if you get another price break? By this I mean, You get the cost of the V. at a 1 for 5 ratio but if the V. buys the AI does it get the AI at a 1 for 5 ratio? Becuase that would mean the character is only paying for the AI at a 1 for 25 ratio and that seems abusive. But on the other hand it is common for war ships to buy vehicles at that value(1 to 25) when they buy them as complimentry fighters or missles. Also I know I could ask Steve this but I know it is out there somewhere and I am just not seeing it. So please my Hero Elite guide my finger of thurth and justice to the spot of knowledge....(in retrospect that seems like a wierd thing to say:nonp: )

Re: Wwyd ???? hmm, is immortality or resurrection a option? La Rose

Hello Steve, 1.) Recently I was trying to design a Vehicle that was suppose to be a skin tight body suit. My question is this: IF the Powered armor/vehicle has weapons on both arms and the ability to use both of them; Does the operator inside the powered armor/vehicle need Ambidexterity to utilize both weapons at the same time? I was thinking that by game mechanics the answer is no. Because a star ship being controlled by a normal character wouldn't suffer any minuses for using all it weapons, so why should another Special F/X of the same base perk suffer them. 2.) My Second Question was about a vehicle's defenses. If that same powered armor also has Damage Reduction would the damage that can pass its defenses go against the suits DR first or the pilot's defenses then DR? For example: . The suit which has 10defense and 25% DR, and the Pilot with 5pd are hit with a 20d6 EB. The Damage rolled equals 20body and 70stun. 2a.) Would the damage go against the Vehicles DEF(getting reduced to 10body 60stun) then the pilots PD(getting further reduced to 5body 55stun) then by DR getting reduced to a final count of 4 body and 41stun? 2b.) OR, would it go against the Vehicles DEF(getting reduced to 10/60) then DR 25% (getting reduced to 8/45) Then the pilot's personal PD of 5 with a final damage total of 3body and 40 stun?

Re: Help W/ Human Bomb and similar Char Design

Re: Free Will I have to agree. In the end If I didn't percieve any Meglomaniac desires I would allow him to exist. As far as the freedom of choice that people lose. It is the same freedom that each and everyone one of us gave up in our "social contract." We lose the rights to do certain activities while we exist in society and the mentalist is just ensuring that we give them up. If all he does is remove the "desire/will" to hate your fellow man, what is the harm. We may Define ourselve (as people or a society) in our struggle but that doesn't mean if we lose the will to hate we lose ourselves. We will always have struggles and will always continue to be tested in other ways. To answer another early post about population control. So what we no longer have any true natural preditors(since man is man's worste enemy). If we start working together and not trying to beat eachother, we could support many times the population we do now. Also to answer earlier thoughts about how if the next generation that has always lived in this safty net has to be exposed to the true nature of man how can they possibly servive? Why would they have to worry. They may have the ability to hate but that doesn't mean they will. The next generation very well might get along with its fellow man. I mean if I wasn't raised to hate a person based on there Race why would I? People that arn't brought up to hate, just wont hate. And the Last thought to address. If we remove the will to hate do we stop building weapons? NO. The man purpose of a weapon is to protect yourself, and help people. We may no longer need to Kill people but that deosn't mean we wont design a Anti-Matter Bomb to take out that oncoming Asteroid or enemy fleet. Just becuase there is no need for War, doesn't mean we have no need for weapons! So I know I strayed But as the Original post asked, "would I kill a few to ensure safty of all?" No. Now "Would I defend 'He who brings peace to man?" Yes I may fear his power being used for evil, but if I don't think it is, then I am going to defend him with every fiber in my being. "Hail Be the Savior of Man":hail: La Rose

Re: WWYD if you could recieve ONE super power Assuming I couldn't just have a Large VPP with Cosmic on it and the special effect being "what ever I d*** well please. Hmm It would have to be Teleportation with all the little*(and big) adders. The ability to be somewhere one second and all the way across the world in the next just appeals to me. But maybe you could tell that by my self made Title. La Rose Sir Teleportation.

Re: Converted Ninjutsu and Genjutsu Nice!! That was good work. Thank you. Hmm if it wasn't for the fact that only one other player in my normal group likes naruto I would have to run a Naruto parody game. La Rose.

Re: Naruto Also something I was thinking was that the chakra isn't always plane stamina. Although usually if your out of chakra your stamina is burnt too, but not always. Sasuke makes hint of that against the three rain ninja durring the second part of the chunnin exams. So buying your Chakra as a power reserve and just having all powers that pull from chakra only use the end reserve and all other 'normal' attacks; ie taijutsu, pull from your normal End. So characters like Garaa have immense ER; others like Rock Lee, have Giant end; and Naruto would have both. But that is just How I understood it. La Rose

Re: Naruto WOW I have just found the Manga online. YEAH!!! I Don't know where exactly I am in the series(as far as how the manga transfers into the show but I think I can figure it out.) Granted it will never stop me from watching the show when it comes out. Also If anyone would like to watch the show in its orriginal Japanese with subtitles, I can show you where to find it. Also it is current in the sense that it is made as the shows come out. So This Fridays episode will be what episode aired the wednesday before in japan. La Rose.

Re: Naruto that would be cool if you could post them here. As far as the Manga I just don't have access to them. Other than Shonen Jump I don't know where I can read them. I kinda like the the Filler. It can be very Cute and Funny. But I can't wait to see what happens to Sasuke in the Series. Ohh by the way, Rock Lee is my favorite character.

Re: Naruto Naruto and Hinata in the hospital? Maybe you are reffering to the Manga. I have seen the episodes to 192(witch I thought was as high as they go till Wednesday, maybe I am mistaken.) and I don't remember a Naruto and Hinata episode where they are both in the hospital, although I am greatly intriqued! Also I don't remeber Neji syphing off chakra just stopping its flow though the body. La Rose. PS just incase you don't know them by the Number 192 is where Naruto and Ino have to help the princess with her arranged marrage. And 193 I think(from the previews) is going to be Rock Lee and Naruto's big fight.

Re: Naruto Alright. I realize there are many ways to build differant powers and it really just fall onto the player for personal taste. What I was namely asking was how you all build some of the powers they exibit on the show. No need to worry weather or not it breaks power caps or what have you just what do you think makes the most sense watching them. How do you all think Neji's or 'worf boy'(sorry his name eludes me at the moment) or anyone else there. Just choice a character you really like, assuming you watch, and have fun with it. I was just curious how other people view there abilities and how 'They would right it up. La Rose Also one that has really been confusing me is the Biyukugan for Neji. The SFX is the ability to observer in 360 dregrees all around himself(with one small exception) out to I think 10 meters at all times and can use it to search out into unbelievable distances with spot on accuracy. That is One power that is a little confusing to me.
