Re: ampullae of lorenzini
Sorry Christopher...I should have quoted. My post was in response to this one:
I think I took my wording from an encyclopedia article on electro-sensing in skates and rays. I figured strong fields (like what you'd get around a power line) would be so instense they'd effectively blind the sense. (And for this character it was assumed that she'd have to be intentionally using it' date=' though of course one could add a broader Sense adder so it would work automatically.)[/quote'] -

This reminds me of a subject I saw was up for a couple of panel discussions at Baycon, to whit:MMMMMmmmm...Baycon....

Re: ampullae of lorenzini
Yes, but they'd still sense it.

Re: ampullae of lorenzini
Here's how I built something equivalent for an NPC who was a genetically engineered Atlantean/manta ray hybrid:25 Electroreception: Detect Weak Electrical Impulses (no Sense Group), Increased Arc Of Perception (360 Degrees), Range, Targeting
I would go this way, except for the "weak" part. That sounds like cheating. It should have 'Microscopic' on it. Otherwise, it implies that it does not detect strong fields. 'Sense' or 'Discriminatory' would depend on the character.

Re: Hero Games books on Android
On my Samsung Epic phone with the FREE Adobe Acrobat reader works GREAT' date=' including being able to text search (as fast as my desktop.[/quote']The free reader is fine, but I really appreciate the reflow that Repligo does into an e-reader-type format that's easier to read through.

Re: Hero Games books on Android
It's the best I've found, and I've tried a few losers. The features that make it stand out for me are:
- A very nice 'reading mode' that streamlines things similar to an ebook reader...very easy to read and retains most formatting (except for imperfect but still usable tables)
- Easy switch between full page and reader mode
- Excellent bookmark presentation that is accessible from the menu from any page
Only problem I've noticed is a search function that's too slow to be useful in the big rulebooks. In my opinion, though, the bookmarks more than make up for it. The index and 'go to page' are enough.

For what it's worth, I found an app that works well for me for using my Hero book pdfs on my Android: 'Repligo'...$3.99 in the marketplace. It has a full-page mode and a more readable mode that nicely streamlines the text into one column at a readable size wit images and tables intact. You can also access the bookmarks from any page, and they're organized well. Recommended.

Re: Hawaii Hero
Yes, there is a big Japanese influence here.

Re: Hawaii Hero
The bear thing mystifies me. No bears in Hawaii...very few mammals at all, in fact.

Re: Hawaii Hero
Is your Hawaii campaign still going?

Re: Hawaii Hero
Just found this thread while looking for a player to join our Oahu champions group. For the record:
SPAM and portuguese sausage (linguica in most places) are not the same thing. They're not even very similar, other than both being processed meat. They are both, however, very popular and available at McDonald's for breakfast.
'Lua' does not technically mean 'bathroom' in the Hawaiian language, although many people use it that way. It is a colloquialism that grew from a bad translation, I believe. Many locals use it, though. 'Bathroom' in Hawaiian is 'lumi ho`opau pilikia' (literally 'the room where problems are finished')

Took off the skulls per request.

Re: Project XIII: images from my campaign
Here's an updated image, based on feedback from the GM. Note that the name 'Santero' is just one I came up with for my own inspiration. It may not be the character's final name.

Re: Project XIII: images from my campaign
I like trying to figure out the sources of your images. This one is Diablo and Brother Voodoo?- Bill
No brother Voodoo...Diablo, Falcon, Puma, and Karnak.

Re: Project XIII: images from my campaign
Here's a manip I made for a fellow player. His character is still in development, and I made this to try to help and inspire. It's unsolicited, though, so I'm not sure if he'll want to use it.
