Re: What if super-powered humans did exist? I never said that it cannot be done. Only that it requires such long time periods that it is not to be accomplished in a reasonable timeframe. This is in addition to the high costs that such an endeavor would require. A two person spaceplane costs as much as a 727 does. In addition the people onboard will require the necessary food, water, propellants, life support systems etc that would be necessary to get them such a distance. A simple trip to Mars would require more than one year just to reach the planet, the asteroids would be even longer plus the time that is spent there and the return time. Anyway, we are getting off-topic. I was wondering just what impact supers would have on the modern world if they did truly exist, not a critique of my system (although that is a good thing to continue doing). Here is one thing that I considered: Shipping companies will not bother with transport vehicles. Instead when someone comes in with something to ship, the company will give it to the next super that could reach the destination within one day if national (this includes Canada and Mexico) or one week if it crosses an ocean. Why maintain a fleet in every part of the globe when this one fleet at home could do the same thing for a fraction the cost?

Re: What if super-powered humans did exist? A little more definition in my reality here (for those interested): In 1900 a comet did a pass-by within lunar orbit and splashed into the Sun. This implies cosmic energy of some form, even if diluted. Magic is also a possible source for powers. Technology is slightly more advanced than in the real world. There is artificial gravity standard and a fully capable society based permanently on the Moon. While Data-style robots are not possible, there are fully capable robots that are able to perform some complex low-human capable thinking. Travel beyond Lunar Orbit is not possible due to the extreme time that is required. The frequency of the supers is moderately common. In the overall population, they amount to approximately 1% of the world's population. Although there are several different levels. The most common would be around 25-50 points (75%). Next would be around 51-150 points (20%). After that would be 151-250 points (4%). At the top would be 251+ points (1%). This last category includes the PCs. With this in mind I hope that everyone will be able to come up with some good ideas for how they would impact the world around them.

Re: Answers & Questions Q: Why were you always telling the elevator to go sideways? A: Just to prove that I could do it.

I have recently started a standard supers campaign. In the preliminary stage I created a world history starting in the year 1900, going to the present (2010). While creating this history, I got wondering exactly what changes there would be if supers did truly exist. In my timeline there are no aliens that have yet made contact with Earth so the only lifeforms that exist are what would be found in the real world. This will have no bearing on the campaign (unless I choose otherwise) but I got curious as to changes that would happen to world history if supers started appearing approximately 10 years before WWI.

Re: I killed a PC. While I have never had this happen, I have always used the system established in previous cases. If there are no previous cases, then this will (as lawyers say) create a president. In my system, the dead will stay dead, unless something extremely major happens. This could be Death deciding that the PC has been so good that he deserves a second chance. This might have a 1% possibility. All the rest of the time the PC will have to remain dead and the player will have to create a new character. What will happen in this case will depend on what has happened in the past or (no past) what the players and GM determine what will be the case. There really should have been something put down in campaign creation that would deal with this.

I am thinking of creating a minor villain in my campaign that is a human/mosquito hybrid. I am wondering just what abilities this character will possess. At present I am thinking of the normals of enhanced STR, DEX, flight, and SPD. There should be other things that such a character will possess that are intrinsic to mosquitoes. Could I get any ability suggestions that might be possessed. Any help appreciated. Thanks for all assistance.
