Re: Help me brainstorm a disaster! Hippies are people? What about all those innocent bystanders that need saving from the hippies?

Re: Characteristics, a special type of framework How about 30 pts for +30 INT 30 pts +6 with INT rolls 18 pts Enhanced Perception: +6 with all PER rolls ---- 48 pts Average 1.6 points per point of INT

Re: name this gadget! Weapon? Grabatonfa Chakastaff? That just about covers it. How about giving the character the name Mr Blitz?

Re: Titles for your character My latest character: Kai Sun: Fist of Heaven A martial artist Justice Knight from The Shattered Realm.

Re: Combat Skill Levels vs Martial Arts Again, forgive me, posting as I read, blah blah blah Umm, wouldn't he also need to have sort of focii to do the fire breathing trick? So he actually pays less than the dragon, unless the dragon is fooling us all too

Re: Combat Skill Levels vs Martial Arts Just posting as I read, so forgive me if someone has already said this...

Re: Help me brainstorm a disaster! And there's some sort of street parade or protest march... so plenty of hippies could get hurt How about power loss? Gas mains? Maybe there was a race up the stairwell and now all those people are trapped inside. And maybe there is a sailing regatta on Puget Sound too...

Re: Character name help!!! No problem - was a pleasure to be of assistance. Anytime you need that kind of creative noodling, I'll be there. And I like the character - may even nick him as an NPC Except maybe that multipower needs to be 60 pts

Re: Just a simple ? When you design a game world. Hmm... backstory/history versus PC limits... tricky. I'm assuming you mean CV and DC levels by PC limits. Well, limits are all relative really - and too much history means that the world might not be dynamic for PCs. I'd say I go for a vibe that I want to capture, fill in a few relevant details about the now, and chuck the PCs in.

Re: Surbrook's Stuff down? And now it's up. Thread can close.

Re: Character name help!!! Good to hear. Also maybe he could develop a TK version of psychic surgery or something like that - literally willing bones to knit and muscles to repair etc.

Re: Real World Stuff That Only Sounds Like A Comic Book

Re: Character name help!!! Just a few more thoughts then from me and those leading questions you know and love... Far reaching effects If he can make diamonds just like that and he serves the common good, why doesn't he make 'em and give them away to people who need it? Or even (to compensate that he might not give things away unless he gets something in return) give heaps to charity. Its then a tax write-off, plus he get given pretty stuff and free tickets to the Oscars and such. And if he can make diamonds and is greedy why is he merely Well-off? He could seriously undercut the diamond price.... and in fact probably has. Also wouldn't flooding the market (as a greedy person with no economic know-how from his current skills) destabilise the stock market etc.... there's economic implications. Plus there are probably some African warlords after him because of the damage he's doing to their currency.... (just basing that bit on something I saw in Lord of War... I know, movies aren't real... but then, neither is roleplaying). Contacts Interesting... some options there for romantic interests and rivals too. Motivation So he is a hero because he feels a civic duty? What does that actually entail? Is he a "for the greater good of humanity" type guy? Or is he a "with great power comes great responsibility" guy? Just asking is all. Also does he adhere to the Hippocratic oath? Because that's different to a code versus killing. Finally (this post), I am not a fan of total psych lims as a player or GM. They imply extreme-ism. If this guy... lets call him Headmaster for another name for you to consider was in the army he couldn't have had it at that level and remained in the army, could he? Or did something happen since to make him go all extreme Military Rank I saw that you liked the Major Force name. Is this dude still a Ranked Military Officer or is he retired/honourably discharged? If so... More food for thought.

Re: Character name help!!! Ok then, if he is a paranormal medical researcher... More Science skills, particularly Genetics and perhaps some Xeno-biology skills. Diseases - can he cure lycanthropy? Inventor - is he like a Hank Pym/Reed Richards of paranormal medicine? A paranormal medical kit consisting of: Super-Hypospray - a healing aid through a focus, with charges Super-innoculations - Same for Life support vs poisons/diseases plus a dispel versus poisons/diseases some kind of medical tricorder device - detects Bonus to paramedics - bandages etc Small medical gear VPP - can he boil up viruses/poisons to incapacitate villains? Maybe a lab. Relevant contacts - mainly medical/science/alien contact based... any organisations worth talking of? Disads One thing that I'd like to see is a Heroic Motivation Psych Lim... as in why does he do what he does? The only motivation seems to be greediness at the moment... the Code vs Killing and protects bystanders are more immediate action based. What drives this character? Anyways, they're my thoughts so far.

Re: The Five

Re: Real World Stuff That Only Sounds Like A Comic Book David Icke. A former British professional footballer and television personality who became a spokesperson for the British Green Party. David Icke. Self proclaimed "son of god" and "channel for the Christ spirit" who claims that the world is ruled by a secret group called the Global Elite. David Icke. Who claims that this secret 'Illuminati' in fact consists of a race of shape-changing reptillian humanoids called the Babylonian Brotherhood with member including George W Bush, Queen Elizabeth II, and Kris Kristofferson(!) He has been accused of being anti-Semetic because he attacks and accuses the Rothschilds but maintains that he isn't because the Rothschilds aren't Jews, they are shape-changing baby-eating reptiles who secretly rule this planet. Check him out on wikipedia or his website http://www.davidicke.com. He's almost too weird, isn't he?

Re: The Five Worth another bump. What I like about the characters most is the background and interpersonal relationships you've developed. Much more valuable than a collection of numbers IMHO. Although they ARE nice collections of numbers.

Re: Power Game. Give it a try. I am a 150pt ninja dude. I have duplication that lets me create exact copies of myself. I am a 350 pt character (normal starting level in champions). How many duplicates is that? 67,108,864. Thats a lot of ninjas. I am the same as above, but slightly less powerful - say 100 pts. How many is that? 68,719,476,736 That's right - I've got your election result right here. Or for pure power... for 350 pts you can purchase a single Multiform that allows you to transform into a character worth 1050 points! And you only have 150 points of disadvantages. Breakdown is 210 pts for the form cost, 140 pts for the extra points above 150 disad points. And that's without limitations or anything to reduce the cost. Like extra time. Charges. Hows them apples?

Re: A Viper in the Grass There was that Zip-zap one in an old Adventurers Club... or are we talking 5th?

Re: How to block the "unblockable" punch? How about extra PD or rPD, only vs one attacker? If a Martial Block can be defined as taking on the chin, surely extra defenses can represent ducking and diving? Failing that how about desolid? You know, like that UMA power?

Re: Surbrook's Stuff down? Tank U. Love visiting your place - it's a blast. Guess I'll have to wait for the virtual tea and biscuits.

Re: How to...Power Amplifiers... Electrical Guy 12D6 EB, No Range = 40 pts Real, 60 Active. Buy off No Range (20pts) and apply OIF to it (13pts). Total cost = 53 pts Therefore when the guy wears the suit, his powers are ranged. When he doesn't, they aren't. Leaping Flying Dude The leaping flying dude? Can he leap in the suit as well or only fly? If he can do both the easiest for me would be: Multipower u Leaping u Megascale Leaping u Flying (OIF) u Megascale Flying (OIF)

Re: Surbrook's Stuff down? Thanx. And here I was thinking it was an Australian thing.
