The other problem would be that hitting someone who was time-stopped should be much easier than in normal combat.  As would grabbing and pushing people over.  You might want to live with that because, in game, as GM I would want it to be harder to grab, punch and trip than to punch, punch, punch.  As such I would add up all the penalties from the various manouevres and apply them all to all the attacks (as well as the usual penalties for autofiring multiple targets).

I was considering AOE Selective Radius and AOE 1 Hex. If I go the Autofire route, I'll add in Concentrated Sprayfire.

Isn't this basically the Speed Zone abilities as seen in The Ultimate Speedster (p. 251) for 5th ed? 

Ah! Good call. I looked through the Time Powers section, which wasn't quite what I was after.

Question...

If a hero can stop time for a few seconds (like with the stopwatch from The Girl, the Gold Watch, and Everything), and had...

• Selective AOE Radius on Strength...

...defined as having ten seconds to walk around, hit people, grab things, etc.

Would you allow that AOE Strength to be used differently vs each target?

So that the hero could:

• Grab someone
• Punch someone
• Push someone down

If not, how would you build such a thing?

For the Fourth, I watched some American "history":

1776

Dave

National Treasure

I have the memory mattress and the gravity pillow.

All I needs is the blanket of truth for the summoning!

The Monuments Men: Based on the true story of the men who tried to find and return the art stolen by the Nazis at the end of WW2. It has a real problem with deciding to be a comedy or a drama, and rarely succeeds at either. (Hulu)

I love this one.

Recently discovered the Geek Buddies podcast, and going through their episode reviews of Hawkeye.

It reminded me how cool this scene was.

Did somebody say Enter the Dragon?

I also feel that Frank Castle should do quips like Spider-Man; after all, he is The Punisher. 

If you're going to get psychoanalyzed. get the craziest therapist you can find.

Across the Spider-Verse. A very worthy sequel!

"Stones of Significance" probably, but Brin has written a lot about simulations and the singularity.  Also look for "Reality Check" which is a quick read.

The movie The 13th Floor covers a similar topic.

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Season 1. Dang, this first season really worked.

When does a joke become a dad joke?

When it's apparent.
