Re: Beesting Allergy And you know how the rules state that a disadvantage that doesn't come up in the game isn't really a disadvantage. Otherwise you could take your next Fantasy Hero character with "Fear of M-TV" or some other such nonsense. If the player were insistant on taking the Bee Sting disadvantage, the character is going to get stung. I might even bee prone to introducing an NPC like Hivemaster from V&V or Swarm from the 80's Spider-Friends cartoon.

Now imagine the Chick tract with Champions substituted for D&D. "Bob, you're now a 400 point hero. I think it's now time you learned to really fight crime." "You mean I'm going to get a uniform and superpowers?" "Yes, you have the personality for it". Two hours later, Bob is wearing his underware over his sweat pants and trying to stop jaywalkers, all of whom are pummeling the cr@p out him. Then the police haul his idiot self in and he winds up being held 72 hours for psychological evaluation, just like any little fruit loop that tried to cast D&D spells in real life.

The XP from individual stabbing sounds almost like something out of the Arduin Grimoire. Heh heh, Love the % Liar on each of the monster descriptions.

On top of the tidbit being up for debate itself. It's the Missouri Argument. Unless it's shown, it's not canon. It's the equivalent of Joe GM saying his adventures take place in the Marvel Universe. For his game, yes it does, for the rest of the world, no it doesn't.

Sorry, wrong. Unless you want Wendy, Marvin and Wonder Dog to show-up and tell the JLA they're moving back in. Bwahahahaha!

Not so riduculous actually. Comic book continuity is waxy at best and this holds doubly true for their animated counterparts. Metaphysician wins the cigar on this one. It's only canon if it diretly appears or is mentioned in the respective series. In Static's universe there is a JLA, but not necessarly is there a Static in the JLA universe. Your proof doesn't hold up to the test.

Which of course has the downfall of faster characters having to eat more of the endurance burden similar to faster characters drowning faster in HERO. A minor complaint, but it still is there.

I don't buy that argument for a second. I'd reference you back to the JLA from the comic book (most recent series) placing Connor "Green Arrow" Hawke on the team. Compaired to Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Martian Manhunter and Flash, this guy is incredibly outclassed in raw power and Batman would slap him around like a green shirted step child. Just because you can't hang with the big dogs in raw powers doesn't mean you are worthless. Connor essentially saved the whole league just by being in the right place at the right time and using one of his pops old boxing glove arrows to save the day. Any GM worth his salt should be able to have something for anybody in the team to do regardless of power level. Having the big bad in the campaign constanly grabbing for the most vulnerable team members, although it would make real world sense, goes against genre staples.

I came up with a variant on Hammer & Anvil by replacing them with a married couple. John Ball and Lisa Cheney were joined together by the alien Synthecon and became Ball & Chain, which IMHO was a better name than H & A and a more fun concept because the two of them were on the outs with their marraige and the heroes had to endure their constant bickering.

It's all relative. The whole point balance issue depends on what point severybody else is built on. A 300 point version of the Flash is more than enought when the villains are built on 150. A 1000 point Flash might be needed when the same villains are fleshed out to 500 points.

I think I'd dress up like a villain just to get Electrawoman to wrestle around with me for a while.

The way to get more actions without exceeding speed 12 is Duplication with some limitations or the area effect advantage. With the duplication, you're probably talking some serious points, even with the limitations (like only in line with path of travel & only lasts for that phase). But if you're trying to simulate the "hypothetical" Flash, you're going to have to dole out the points anyway.

Yup, .308 and 30-06 should both cut through. Thankfully most of the probationers we're apprehending should only be packing handguns. So far, I've never come across anybody who actually had the gun on them when I did the arrest. A few knives and some assorted other things, but the only time I've personally seen a gun on a probation arrest is in the person house.

Unfortunately it's not as rare as it used to be. I'm an officer with the county probation department in the warrants unit and I'm wearing class IIIA all day, every work day. The class II the regular officers wear is supposed to be sufficient to stop 9mm and .357 magnum, but I wouldn't want to put it to the test against .50 AE magnum. Now militaries often equip their troop with flak jackets, but that is supposed to be strictly to protect against shrapnel.

Never saw a write up for a towel, but have seen a blanket (for Linus from Peanuts as a stretchable HA and Presence Defense) and a baby bottle (for Diaperman).
