Re: Stunning News for Robots! ... in collision with a bollard. That's a bollard, not a robot. No robots were stunned in the accident. That concludes the news for robots; next up: the news for dinosaurs.

Re: How would you build Dr. Morbius? I'd give him average Characteristics except for a good Presence and Comeliness, Ego in the 20s, and Intelligence in the 40s. Add a lot of Knowledge and Science Skills concerning the Krell, some gadgeteering skills or powers, and... The Robot would be a very expensive Follower Altaira a DNPC claiming to have useful skills The Monster of the ID would be a Hunted (or Watched, but I'm not sure wiping out the colony, attacking the starship crew, and finally turning on about everyone are the actions of a Watcher.)

Re: Chronic Death Syndrome She did die in a fire once, in the manga. She woke up a short time later, uninjured and wondering what the fuss was about. When some charred clothing and skin flaked off she remarked how smooth her skin was.

Re: Why does the USS Iowa only have a 10 Defense? In that case, it should be a lot harder to kill a tyrannosaur than an elephant. An elephant is one of the most intelligent animals on Earth, with a large brain. For all that it was a top predator, the tyrannosaur was just a big birdlike thing with a tiny little brain and a distributed, truss-like skull that wouldn't transmit damaging shocks to it. Just finding the brain in all that gristle would be hard... I think I'd want an explosive round. Edit: What Tinman said.

Re: The Akane Tendo Culinary Institute If your character is supposed to be especially good at being eccentric, I'd recommend spending the points for it. Ryoga has a head full of rocks, likewise to a much lesser degree Akane and maybe Soun, but Kasumi is intelligent, mild, and has an indomitable will. Ryoga has Phys Lim: Stupid, but Kasumi would have a mild Psych Lim at best. Tatewaki and Kodachi both have 'act like a twit and annoy people 14-,' but Tatewaki took it as a Disad and Kodachi as a skill. She can add her INT bonus to her roll, take extra time, or apply knowledge skills to be more effective. With the expenditure of 5 or 10 experience, Tatewaki might be no better at annoying people than a competent normal, but Kodachi would become the all-being master of obnoxious, at once loved and envied by Foxbat.

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Last Saturday, our party had just literally been through Hell and come out in Shangri-La. We found ourselves in a Buddhist monastery. For some inane gnomish reason, I thought the monks should have loud red-orange robes, but the GM described them as dull brownish orange. Windows 3000 Sux Man (me): Brown? What's the matter with scarlet? Quantum: I don't know, and frankly I don't give a damn.

Re: Focus = Too Great a Price Break? Makes sense to me. END Reserve doesn't cost any END to use, so no amount of Charges should be an Advantage. IDHMBIFOM and stuff.

Re: Picture if You Will... I think the oxygen and nitrogen would be more likely to form a ring around the planet, as there's no reason for the gas to just stop in its orbit and fall to the ground, even if the tides are outrageous. If some of the expelled gas gets spewed with enough force to break orbit and land on the planet, some will also get expelled in all other directions and uselessly disperse. Consider an accretion disk around a black hole. Bodies approaching too closely get pulled apart by tides; material falling off such bodies continues to orbit until collisions with other matter causes it to spiral in. Maybe you can have a station in a Lagrangean point where ejected gas accumulates at a slightly higher concentration than elsewhere.

Re: "So, Thor hits Superman with Mjolnir..." The definition of Superman's vulnerability varies from "able to withstand any physical attack regardless of power source, but his Power Defense doesn't keep him from being enchanted into a newt" to "Weakened and perhaps knocked out by just being in the same room as an artifact-level weapon." I prefer the former. Superman would be affected by a magic weapon if the magic was something subtle enough to bypass his Invulnerability. He has high resistance to impact and lightning, but none to magical Drains and Transforms.

Re: To agree or disagree with Steve's answer I've always done it the way Steve said and It never occurred to me to do otherwise. But I haven't played in a hen's age and I have no opinion on which way to do it is best.

Re: Please delete Not if it's shiny!

I deleted a bunch of stuff I didn't need and got back over a gigabyte of drive space.

Joking. "That's no moon"

It should be Persistent, too.

Put it in gen'tle instead.
