Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Netzilla couldn't be present for Saturday's game, but one quote from the session: "I won't have you questioning my intelligence!" "I'm not questioning your intelligence, I'm questioning your plan."

Re: Order of the Stick I like how Rich takes what might look like a one-shot throw-away and develops it.

Re: Post "gotchas" here Using two or more powers or similar abilities once against a single target isn't a Multiple Attack. It's a Combined Attack, and counts as a type of Strike. 6e2 74

Re: Thoughts on Damage Negation (6e) I like it both for the 'bullets bounce off him' superhero Brick, and the improved consistency of damage to vehicles. For instance, now I can make a vehicle immune up to, say, a .50 cal MG (3d6K) by buying nine levels of Damage Negation. Sure, I could also either (1) rule as GM that KAs vs vehicles always do SER damage, (2) buy 10 or 11 DEF plus 8 or 7 DEF Only Against 3d6 And Less KAs, or (3) just buy 18 DEF... but this seems more elegant (less clunky) to me. I will note, however, that Damage Negation is an exception to the Hero System 'every attack should have a defense, and the defense should be considerably cheaper' rule.

Re: How to build MMA Style Martial Arts Bloodstone's right... -3 OCV if the Grabbee can attack the Grabber at all (5ER, p. 388).

Re: Star HERO with... not magic, really, but... My advice: decide the result you want, then figure out a way to get there. Some possibilities: * Minimum distance from a gravity well (as you mentioned above) * FTL acceleration/deceleration are not equal; perhaps you can keep accelerating at some rate, then a planetary gravity well allows almost instantaneous deceleration * FTL acceleration/deceleration is not linear, so maybe the first parsec takes a week, then to 50LY is two weeks, then to 100LY is three weeks.

Re: Order of the Stick Okay, I also didn't see V giving up his/her marriage that easily, either...

Re: Order of the Stick Okay, I didn't see that one coming...

Re: The SUPER Defense Power (6E) The first thing I thought of when seeing this Power was, "Perfect for Vehicles! Now I can take 9 DCs of Negation and have my APC or Starship hull invulnerable to the .50 cal machine gun without having to buy 18 DEF." Also useful for Brick characters in Champions. Although, with the Stun Lotto gone in 6e, not as much need for it for bricks... All in all, a nice addition to the system.

Re: 15 Da Vinci War Machines I'm more of an idea rat...

Re: Power Discussion: Barrier Crash: It's lights out for you, Villain, for I am about to Crash you into next week! Villain: Not so fast, Crash... behold, I have a Defensive Erection!

Re: Help with Aerion Huh. I just checked, and my copy has the same issue. Sorry, can't help you. Curious now myself...

Re: 6E Rules changes confirmed so far Could well be. Like I said, I don't think there's enough data to tell for sure.

Re: Announcing Kazei 5, Second Edition W00t!

Re: 6th Edition Question: New Powers? Brilliant!

Re: 6E Rules changes confirmed so far I *think* the top three in order are D&D White Wolf Steve Jackson Games Hero Games may be fourth. As far as I know, there is not enough data in the public domain to say for sure. (Nor do I know how close SJG and DoJ are.)

Re: Sixth Edition Showcase #7: Damage Over Time and Time Limit Okay, I'll reserve final opinion until seeing the rules, but as for the concept: W00t!!

Re: GM Justice Inc Quandry Also coming in late - the *car's* DCV took the 15 hits, not the *player's * DCVs. As stated by others, take into account the DEF of the car's skin before applying any damage. Are you using any particular Hit Location chart for the car? Really, what kind of continuation is most dramatic/appropriate for the situation? Initial hail of SMG fire shreds the car but occupants are (mostly) intact? A captured scenario? Something else? Pick the outcome, then direct the cliffhanger that way. Oh, and please, post back with what you decided and how it went!

Re: Lucha Hero I'd take the Lucha Libre Thug writeup from page 117, add 10 STR and 2 DCV...

Re: Lucha Hero I have. Read most of it, too. Hey, SCUBA Hero, 1000th post! w00t!
