Re: Purple Powers The first thing that came to mind for me was DC's Parasite, so I'd expect it to be a Drain or Transfer.

Re: Jokes I love Chinese food. I could eat Chinese food all day. I could eat Chinese food all day and dim sum. The chicken I had at the Chinese restaurant last week was kind of hard to eat. I told the waiter, "This chicken is rubbery." He said...

Re: Stupid Question Like Sean, I round up DCVs regardless of whether it's a player or not.

Re: "Neat" Pictures Moiré or less.

Re: Which super-powered villain would be dumb enough to work for the Black Harlequin? The players in my game found out that Black Harlequin was involved after they fought sixteen (very limited power source -- about two Turns worth) Mechanon robots. They noticed the pull-strings on back that said "Must Destroy Organic Life."

Re: Which super-powered villain would be dumb enough to work for the Black Harlequin? In my campaign, he works with a cybernetic gorilla crimelord.

Re: SHADES OF BLACK -- What *Else* Do You Want To See? I'd like to see more about Talisman's motivations. Just wanting to see a failed romance seemed a bit weak, to me. When I ran it, she teamed up with Black Paladin because I'd run her against the PCs before, and it was their mututal hatred of the hero team that forged their alliance.

Re: The Champions Universe Without The Champions. How Hard Can It Be? My 5th Ed campaign started off with the Champions literally disappearing, along with their headquarters, and a speherical scoop of land around their headquarters. Besides that, where the base had originally stood, a dozen or so supervillains appeared at the same time that the base disappeared. The PCs were the heroes who repsonded to the immediate threat, and were then formed into a team when a sponsor showed up to offer them a team job as the city's superheroes.

Re: "Neat" Pictures Looking for a way in?

Re: Jokes Especially if the kid is a tight end.

Re: Mental Paralysis..how do I keep this from being game breaking? Yes, but most characters who can throw a mental paralysis attack have an EGO of 20 or better, so should be able to escape relatively quickly.

Re: Mental Paralysis..how do I keep this from being game breaking? If I were to allow a Haymakered EGO, I'd limit it to 2d6 (since EGO costs 2x STR, 2x EB, etc.). And ruling (I think this is the normal rule anyway) that Haymakering can no more than double the original damage.

Re: Mental Paralysis..how do I keep this from being game breaking? I usually require the limitation that Mental Defense adds to EGO for purposes of breaking out.

Re: Changing Class of mind Isn't it a woman's perogative to change her (class of) mind? Anyway, for someone who can change from one Class of Mind to another at will, I'd go for Shape Shift, BOECV. (Shape Shift to Mental Senses would make your Mind look like another Class, but to functionally change it, I'd require the BOECV Advantage.)

Re: A DC Animated-style HeroMachine You know why they named that sports drink Gatorade?

Re: Middleman Costume Generator It took me a while to realize where I recognized the male lead from. He was Waldo Magoo!

Re: "Neat" Pictures Aw, man! I was blinking...

Re: A DC Animated-style HeroMachine Dam!

Re: Delayed Missile Reflection I've generally done this as Reflect with Delayed Effect, as you proprose. It can be quite nasty when you save them all up. Phase 3: Reflect, Delayed until 12. Phase 6: Reflect again, still Delayed until 12. Phase 9: Once again Phase 12: Unleash all the attacks I've absorbed, all at once, at THAT GUY!

Re: Pulling over ala 'bloody spear' Sounds to me like Stretching; Linked to RKA.
