    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']

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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')
