Greetings!

No idea where the appropriate thread would be for this, thus I posted it here in this section. Dunno if there's a specific section for "character creation" in general or its a s genre specific post in forums. Personally I just create characters using the Hero System and never really think of a genre when creating them (its to me the beauty of the system).

To the point at hand:

Looking for some assistance creating some complications for a character. I would like to come up w/ some interesting complications for my new version a character that uses a PA (Power Armor) Focus. The PA is an alien prototype of biological-mechanical-magical nature. Imagine a bio-mechanical PA that uses a magic artifact as its power source.

EXAMPLES:

-becomes linked w/ the armor in such a way that he cannot survive too long w/o wearing it or something along those lines, but not measured in phases or turns or minutes per se.

-Needs to consume twice the amount of food as the armor's biological side consumes nutrients from his contact to it (non-visual effects).

Any and all ideas are appreciated!

One suggestion I saw elsewhere--the missiles are straightforward guided weapons, while torpedoes are more like large "kamikaze" drones, with armor, ECCM, maybe even shielding to protect a heavier payload moving a bit more slowly towards the target.  In that scenario, the missile is akin to a fast moving anti-ship missile that follows a standard arc towards the target, while the torpedo is larger and slower but "smarter", performing evasive maneuvers and adjusting course en route.  

That seems as good as any other...

In one old sci fi game I had torpedoes use explosions while "missiles" use nuke pumped lasers. Missile fly off to points to prevent the target manuevering away, and torpedoes try to just get close enough. So a Ship could well just use one or the other, or both.

Mother, the woman who raised me, the one that I took in years ago, the one that I told about this abomination in the first place. 

 

Well, now I can say that I have tried it.

 

I can see why most reviewers are at a loss for words. I actually got hints of... gingerbread?? It was very odd, but not mustardy. But I only ate three spoons. Mom ate nearly half but gave up when it started to taste like mustard. I took that as my clue to try so little. Wasn't god-awful as anticipated, but I couldn't really enjoy it because I kept expecting the worst. We threw out just about a half full container. 

 

But I tried it!

I can see it, if many of the stab wounds are to half-BODY locations and started out with an above average BODY score, and got some lucky Bleeding rolls.

It's OK doc, I have 20 Bod, and I am only at -10. "What?"

It's a bit of each. An "assault" rifle is good to maybe 300meters (effective range) Recent conflicts have had engagements beyond 300 meters, to take advantage of that. And modern body armor is getting good enough to stop 5.56 beyond 150 to 200 meters.

Getting Monty Python peasant vibes......

Sig sure seems to know how to sell to the Army... I was expecting a reduced cartridge size like maybe 41 to 48. But I guess they need they extra length to deal with modern body armor.
