  1. I agree to an extent.  But, I don't see how losing by 3 TDs is more fun than losing by 4.  If it is close, I don't mind it too much, within reason (Terrell Owens, the guy who wanted to be called by his number in Spanish, cough).  They seem to take it to ridiculous levels even with the "restraints", as it is, though

    I believe you might have gotten TO mixed up with Chad Johnson, who literally renamed himself Chad Ochocinco. 

  2. Destroying My Cred

     

    1) I absolutely hate Star Trek and Star Wars. I think they are a disgrace to Sci-Fi.

     

    2) I am a Marvel fan, but I am disgusted by Guardians of the Galaxy. Same reason as #1. 

     

    3) Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, and Super Girl/Power Girl are terrible character designs and are comic injustices.

     

    4) Never seen Die Hard.

     

    5) Never seen Never Ending Story in its entirety, and I hated the part I did watch. 

     

    6) Captain America is overrated, and I hated the first and second Captain America movies. 

     

    7) Never really liked Pokemon. 

     

    8) Never played any MMO other than WoW. (That's right, I have never played guild wars)

     

    9) The only three video game series I truly enjoy are Final Fantasy, Fire Emblem, and Kingdom Hearts. (I enjoy some single release games like Overwatch, but not any other series like F-Zero or Super Mario)

     

    10) Nintendo is a disgrace to gaming. 

     

    11) I have never and never will own an XBOX. 

     

    12) I absolutely hate Skyrim, Morrowind, and Daggerfall. The only Elder Scrolls game I like is Oblivion. 

     

    13) Mad Max is a terrible movie series. 

     

    So yeah. 

  3. Here is the thing, Ranged attacks have either bought advantages to become ranged or lose the ability to have Strength added. This inherent advantage comes from buying a +1/2 advantage (or +1 for LOS), thus they have advantages of being ranged. This should just be one of those advantages in my opinion. 

  4. Side Note: I see LOS as a problem in A LOT of circumstances in games that I have run or played in. This is why I almost never use LOS powers.  

     

    I can't really say anything that hasn't already been said, but I do agree with Surrealone here. The very idea that a mental attack should miss because a target moves 1m of space is ludicrous. Chances are that a heat seeking missile doesn't lose a hit because of a target moving one meter, so mental attacks work the same way. As described, mental attacks "lock on" to a mind after gaining LOS. I agree that moving does cause some problems, and should cause the attack to miss if the power has Concentration, but it shouldn't cost a mentalist a hit for "dancing around the attack". 

     

    To fix this, I purpose that one should use the idea mental attacks must establish LOS to target a mind. Instead of moving, you could say that a Mental Haymaker misses if the target prevents LOS, like putting up a barrier or having another target stand in the way. This is reasonable enough to avoid a Haymaker but also sensible with the idea of Mental Attacks. 

  5. I hawe a qestion dos martial arts increse weapon damegde (HKA), For exempel if a martial art move has +4 DCs and a weapon doss 5 D6 HKA is the total dmg then 9 D6, Allso do you iclude the Str bonus as well

    First off, the weapon doing 5D6 would do 6D6+1 with the martial maneuver. 

     

    The answer to your question is "Yes", per 6E1. 

  6. My favorite character that I have made was a Dark Champions character named Jørn Jansen. He wielded a Taurus 454 and has the ability to fire off an entire cylinder of his gun in a phase. This is also paired with his acrobatic abilities and amazing stalking ability. His one main problem is that he is constantly overconfident. 

     

    One role-played scenario

     

    Characters: 

    Jørn

    Dexter Ambrose, Crime Leader

    Chastie, Fellow PC

     

    Jørn: "A-Ha! Finally, we have you cornered!"

     

    Ambrose: (Starting to Pull a Weapon) "Fine, you win!" 

     

    Jørn: (Pulling out a pair of handcuffs, walking to Ambrose) "Put your damn hands behind your back!"

     

    Chastie: (After a made PER Roll, that Jørn could not make because of his overconfidence) "Look Out!"

     

    Ambrose fires and misses. Jørn responds and fires a 6 cylinder into Ambrose. 

     

    Jørn: (Blowing off his gun) "Too easy."

  7. Thing is, I once made I character sheet for myself. I built myself with 28 INT and the following powers. 

     

    My main powers contained a MultiFlash that affects Mental Defense (I mess with people's minds to destroy their sensory abilities). I also had the power to be able to tell a perfect lie. Lastly, I had the ability to use my mind to be able to hack into any electronic device.

     

    So,

     

    Super Smart

    MultiFlash

    Perfect Lies

    Hack Into Electronics With Mind

  8. I wasn't aware of this until the poll was open, or I would have nominated Ichigo Kurosaki and Yusuke Urameshi.

    I admit I tend to think of Heroes on a poll on a messageboard devoted to a system that started as a superhero system - and I think  superhero, not something else (and all the trappings: Costumes, code names etc.).

    Luckily, Ichigo is in unlimited, so we can vote him into the tournament. 

  9. I still play Pathfinder, but I do find it difficult to play other systems. My reasoning is this. I would rather be able to make absolutely anything within guidelines of a game than be limited with something like D&D. Pathfinder is "better" than D&D at that, but still has problems. Even in a Fantasy game, I can play very unique characters in HERO (like perhaps an animancer), but less so in Pathfinder (where the closest thing is a necromancer).

     

    This does two things. 

     

    1) I lose part of my character that I want to play

     

    2) Restricts my powers to the specific rulebook.

     

    Besides, does a DM/GM really want to deal with a large group who ALL take Magic Missile from day one?
