Re: The Future hasn't been Written.....yet That is extremely useful. I'd been using Wikipedia to find out the sort of technology, weaponry, transport and even historical events that happened around the timeline I'm setting my campaign in. It's a very useful tool for stuff like that other stuff I looked into was Golden Age comic ideas and storylines to try to get the feel right for my own plots.

Re: Creating a Mimic Something I toyed with the other night was; Multiform [8 forms] Highest Form Cost = 150. (Which is what I'm using as Base Points for the PC's) Costs Endurance to change form (-1/4) [Form 1] True Form. [Form 2] Mystic - Dispel, Transform. [Form 3] Martial Artist - Aid 2d6 STR, Aid 1d6 DEX. [Form 4] Energy Projector - Energy Blast 3d6, DOES BODY. Resistant 25%. Flying. [Form 5] Weaponmaster - Healing [self Only], Swingline. [Form 6] Weaponmaster - NO POWERS. [Form 7] Mystic/Martial Artist - Desolidification, Teleportation, Summon. [Form 8] Don't know yet. Now I was unsure whether or not you copy character Characteristics when you copy their form. If sohow does Body work when damaged. In the respect of do you count damage against their body or your own. Or do you reduce the copied characters body and then morph back to your natural state.

Re: The Future hasn't been Written.....yet I'm setting my campaign in 1931, I have a few historical events that I know about down the line. But mainly I'm looking at this as a parallel world where lots of different things can happen, so I won't be sticking too closely to historical events. For one I wanted it to be a bit like Crimson Skies in the fact that Zeppelins are a dominant force in the skies and are seen everywhere. But then in 1931 there were a good few number of them about.

Re: Creating a Mimic Thanks for the suggestions guys. Personally I was a bit stuck the only way I could think of was a Power-Frame work on Multiform with all the powers of the PC's under each form. Which would probably cost loads. Although looking at it, the power only seems to cost for the most expensive of the forms. So I could have 8 forms and if the highest cost was 100 that would only be 20. Plus the 15 for 8 forms. Which isn't too expensive really.

Can someone please delete this thread I've accidentally posted the same question twice.

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... This week we had Red Star, a Russian walking nuclear reactor blaster type. Utter the immortal line after Striker a firearms gunslinger shoots a thug in the chest; Red Star mutters ; "I could have given him Cancer!"

I've just started running a campaign and I'd like to be able to create a character with the ability to Shapeshift into other characters. Now that part I find to be easy enough to create power wise, with a basic defined multiform. The only extra thing was I wanted them to be able to copy the powers of the person they're imitating. Now I found that Copying Powers you have to define what you copying or stealing by touch when you buy the power. Is there anyway to create a shapeshifting power that grants the metamorph the abilities of the person they are imitating. Either by looking at them and mimicing them, or by touch and then copy. I'm sure there must be some way to do this so some helpful pointers of where to look would be helpful. I'd be grateful for any help/assistance that can be offered.

Just a quick question on Normal Damage for those just learning the rules; If I roll a 6-4-3 with a 3d6 attack. Then that makes it 2-1-1=4 and the opponent has a PD of 4 then no damage gets through. Mainly I was just looking at how if in a low powered game say Golden Age rules a PC uses a 3d6 damage as his primary attack. Then even if he rolls 3 sixes then 2-2-2=6 against 6PD isn't going to go through to do any damage at all. Is this correct, only for all intents and purposes this tends to be the case.
