Re: Aamurusko Hamara (a goddess) For the record, Aamurusko Hamara is Finnish for "dawn" and "dusk," while Palva is "night" and Yoh (actually "Yo"), is "day." (Character sheet created by Michael Surbrook) Nice character. However you got day and night mixed. day = päivä night = yö dusk = hämärä Hamara means the dull edge of a blade, like the back of an axe:D Palva is a method of smoking meat ie palvattu kinkku(smoked ham). Yo does not mean anything. Aamurusko you got correctly:thumbup: In Finnish the umlauts are important;) since the meanings of the words change without them. Yes I am Finnish. Kari

Re: Help!!! Gate creation question. More coolness!! Maybe sealing the opening would work like the iris in Stargate, so it can block the transit but wont affect the enchantment.

Re: Help!!! Gate creation question. Now this is cool. You sir are a genius. Thank You. I will certainly use this method.

Re: [split] Paris Hilton-Supervillainess! [builds] Well maybe if you put in the nonsentient disad from the bestiary?

Re: Help!!! Gate creation question. Yes well if you are stupid enough to connect your cashvault to the town marketplace well you get what you deserve. What I envisioned was having all the town squares off a given kingdom connected to each other so that if there is a siege or famine or monstrous infestation in a part of the kingdom people and goods and troops can travel unopposed. The gate would be open all the time but incase of emergency can be destroyed/disspelled to prevent its seizure. Lord Liaden wrote: The most likely method of purchasing this spell would propably be in a multipower or a vpp or through a method similar to the one used in the Turakian age so the point cost is not a major issue. However if this were for a high tech wormhole system I would most likely use the skill approach. I just feel more comfortable handling it this way for magical/nontecnological system.

Re: Help!!! Gate creation question. The use for this would be a situation where only a magician can use the spell and only a small percentage of the population are capable of learning magic. So there would be a Wizards Guild handling the creation and upkeep of these gates as well as charging fees for these servises from the authorities, with a PC being a member of the Guild.(and potentially creating gates like these for his own purposes)

Re: Superhero Legal Disclaimers How about the Riggs method:You have a right to be unconcius...

Re: [split] Paris Hilton-Supervillainess! [builds] INT 18 on a Paris Hilton clone? I would think that she rates a maximum of INT 6. Otherwise a nice build.

Re: Heroes for pay Well, Gurps IST:s are directly paid by the UN and have military rank. Also the Champions:New Millenium team bankrolled their operations by merchandizing so getting paid for superheroics is well supported in gaming material too. Whenever I´ve thought about the Clark Kent/Peter Parker type setup I allways thought it was rather silly premise but accepted it as a genre convention. I would think that a tryly mercenary super team would work quite nisely.

Re: Help!!! Gate creation question. Sorry if I sounded snippy, I was merely exasperated by my own inability to make my point in an understandable fashion. No offense was intended nor taken. (English is not my native language)

Re: Help!!! Gate creation question.

Re: Help!!! Gate creation question. Yes this is what I was asking about. So if I set the trigger to activate whenever somebody steps in the area of effect with automatic reset like so: Teleport1", area of effect useable as attack,zero end, one fixed location(to be determined at the time of casting), trigger(whenever someone enters the area of effect, resets automatically). Hmm does´nt this provide only one way travel from the location where the Trigger is set?

Re: Help!!! Gate creation question. Yes I specifically want this to be an ability a PC can use and the PC:s can affect. The point is that yes I can just go the handwavium route and declare that that is what happens, but if possible I would like to be able to quantify such an ability mechanically without handwavium. One of the inspirations for this construct comes from Mage the Ascencions Correspondence sphere level 3 or 4 effect create portal. In that if you roll high enough for duration the gate is practically permanent. So I wonder if this can be achieved without handwavium?
