  1. I am seriously having trouble developing the character Sombra from the game Overwatch. 

     

    Her main ability is the ability to use her hacking software to prevent other characters from using their special abilities. The effect does not last long, but is impossible to avoid.

     

    I am thinking a type of Drain or Suppress, but the point cost is insane (Mostly because some of the special abilities have Active Point Costs of about 100)! Anyone got any better ideas?

     

    BTW, the game this character is for is a 400 CP, 75 MC game. 

  2. One of the funniest rolls ever. I was facing a Behemoth in a part of the game in which each player had to fight one by themselves.. I get up to roll my 12d6 Blast and I rolled all 6's. It was also Armour Piercing, so I one shot the thing. My GM was pissed. The calculator shows that getting that roll happens once out of every 2,176,782,336 times. What was supposed to be one of the toughest challenges for my character ended up being one of the funniest gaming sessions in my life. 

  3. NT: It's Christmas Time. It's ok to be afraid. But of what ? (difficulty no politics and the dafter the better)

    Afraid of the revenge of the little kids how did not get ponies for Christmas last year and thus hate you. Better get that pony this year!

     

    NT: Celebrities need gifts too! Which celebrity would you get a gift? What gift would you give them and why?

  4. Tarantula is a secret agent that worked for the Chinese Special Forces before being turned to join the Australian Secret Police. She works hard and keeps the Australian Avengers in check, she talks well and can adapt to any sort of situation. Just ask her to do something, whether it be to track down Captain Australia or to fight off a swarm of robo-kangaroos, and she will

  5. The other Dex based hand eye coordination skills and the original way that OCV was tied to Dex all point to the game being designed around Hand Eye Coordination being Dex based. Intelligence/Perception rolls are really more for discovery and Memory. It's all about keeping the system internally consistant with itself than "realistic"

    I see your point, but I still believe that DEX is more of a Complementary Roll in Teamwork.

     

    Another reason why I argue Teamwork is INT based is due to the training with your team that is required to use it. That does require memory (which you have conceded is INT based). Knowing when to move, when to strike, and possibly when not to strike is dependent upon the training you have received with your team. If one guy messes up the strategy (like the silent count in American Football, if one guy moves early), then the entire team is at a loss (5 yard penalty in the example). That seems more to me like the team member forgot what they were supposed to do (maybe the player thought of the wrong silent count or the wrong play). 

     

    This is why I think Teamwork is INT based, and why I have already house-ruled it as such.

  6. I personally have considered this for the entire time I have played HERO. I just think that teamwork is reasonably not DEX AT ALL. Hand-Eye coordination IMO has always been INT/PER based. Thus, I have never seen DEX as the appropriate skill for Teamwork. Think about it. 

     

    When you fire a gun at the same time as someone else, most of the time you do a countdown of some sort. That eliminates the, have to time my strike perfectly, agenda. It adds to the, how fast does this gun fire and how fast does this fire?, effect, which is INT. 

     

    Imagine Steiner and Vivi from Final Fantasy IX. The ability magic sword involves Vivi casting a spell upon the sword of Steiner and Steiner striking the target. That damage is done at the same time. How does that have ANYTHING to do with DEX? It has all to do with "I will cast a spell, and you will strike the target," which is INT. 

  7. NT: The Canadians are too polite to build a wall.  So what are they going to do or say to keep masses of Americans from crossing the border and mucking up their country as well?

    Make Americans play hockey against the Maple Leafs. 

     

    NT: For what reasons would people prefer be outside than inside during a rainstorm?
