Re: Certain gods in real-world pantheons I don't think "god of evil" would have made sense to an ancient Greek. Hades is more "god of death." His counterpart in Egypt would be Anubis, not Set. IMO.

Re: My little pointy friend He is the pro. I see he bought everything except the stats through OAF. I see the rationale for stuff usable by other the item itself can't use (it can't wield itself), but why other powers/skills? You can't take them away from the sword itself -- it IS the focus. Would all skills be bought with the Focus limitation as well?

Re: What were: the best Marvel titles of the 80's? While I was back in the States last I discovered that my mom had kept the copy of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles No. 2 I bought when I was 13. Upon rereading the comic, I can say that it was NOT one of the best comics of the 1980s.

Re: Deaf, Dumb, and Blind Whoops -- thanks for the info McCoy. This was supposed to go in the Hero System Discussion forum. Sorry y'all.

A followup to my Pointy Friend thread. The AI I'm building can see and hear through the senses of others (Clairsentience) -- and ONLY through those senses. Would you count this as a Disad? If so, how much? Are AIs assumed to have senses to start off with at all?

Re: My little pointy friend

Re: My little pointy friend OK. here's what I did. I got the character a bunch of powers bought OAF or Variable Limitations (-1, usually OAF; -1/2). I bought the intelligence as a contact. I bought a Mind Link, costs END, with the contact. (Do I need to make the Contact role to Mind Link with it?) Then, to represent his communicating with the intelligence and its senses while in combat, I bought him increased DEX, SPD and Levels OAF, Linked to Mind Link. How does that sound?

Re: My little pointy friend Great, thanks guys. My little pointy friend and I thank you.

Re: My little pointy friend Oooh Sean, sounds complicated to me. The Evil Black Hole Demon Thingy will probably never be directly encountered, given that Black Holes are probably based on at least as many points as Mechanon (really). WhatWouldn't I have to buy the Black Hole as a Follower?

Re: My little pointy friend OK. Is an AI assumed to have the regular human assortment of senses, or does it have to buy them (given that it is a conscious hunk of metal and all)?

Re: My little pointy friend I want the sword (gravitic glaive, actually) to be generally helpful but actually have its own dark agenda, unbeknownst to the player (me). He doesn't realize the intelligence powering his gravitic glaive-thingy is actually the malevolent intelligence of a Black Hole communicating to him through a singularity link. (I love pseudo-scientific babble.) So I suppose AI it is. I've never bought one. Does it take the focus limitation, or what?

Re: My little pointy friend Sure, but how do I buy the thing for my character and limit it so he has to drag it around? Follower, with a Physical Limitation?

Get your minds out of the gutter, people! If I want to build a sword, or any other object for that matter, and wish it to have its own intelligence and personality, how do I do this? Can I buy a computer and then purchase it OAF? (Hmmm... Thinking with the Little Head, Not the Big One: Computer, Activates Only in Certain Circumstances, Side Effects)
