Assuming they remain covert - 1 & 4 - very little change. Several people will disappear and start more alien stories but other than that most people would continue as though they were before. 2 - Which side came to me with the better argument as to why I should join them? 3 - His main efforts would be towrds his primary enemy - the StarForce. Earth would only be attacked by a side force to gain more slaves to aid in that effort. Assuming they go overt - 1 - Most societies will start open trade with both sides and have huge gains in tech and there will be a sudden change in the balance of power as the new tech works its way through all the societies. 2 - Which side came to me with the better argument as to why I should join them? 3 - His main efforts would be towrds his primary enemy - the StarForce. Earth would only be attacked by a side force to gain more slaves to aid in that effort. 4 - Several new religions will be created to explain all the non-human intelligences. Most of the current existing religions will have to either adapt or perish and find some way to include all the extraterrestrials that are suddenly arriving.

It varies according to the char. Sometimes I will load the power(s) down with (questionably) unnecessary lims while others should get more than they actually get. It depends on how I am feeling at the time, if the char is hero/villain, purpose of char/power, and several other factors.

I thought that he had increased speed, but that could be effects of things like speed reading, OCV/DCV, cramming, and other speed tricks. In other threads people have said that there were speedsters built with "only" SPD 2 or 3 and I see no reason that DAta could be the same way.

Q: WHat is this CoA soup that has everyone dying to try? A: Everything is falling up.

Assume that the events in the movie The Last Starfighter actually did happen in the year that the movie actually takes place. The events happened exactly as depicted in the movie. Now it is x years later (I am now interested in what x actually is) and StarForce has been rebuilding and modernizing. They also realize that humans are a powerful member to add to their force and have been taking people who pass the entrance exam to serve in the Force. At the same time Xur has rebuilt his forces and is wanting to recruit humans into his forces. Here are some questions: 1 - How would this impact Earth tech and society(ies)? 2 - Which side would you choose to fight for (if you do)? 3 - Would Xur turn his attention toward Earth? 4- How would this impact Earth's religions? If there is anything else that you would like to mention please feel free to mention it.

Q: Did you know that Monsanto was planting planet-killing wheat in Brazil? A: The computer says it all.

I tend to prefer the problems that are personality-centered rather than damage-centered. Most of my char's sheets will have several problems like AccChange, Phys/Psy/Soc Comps, Hunteds, and others that require the char to behave in a certain manner over problems like Vuln, Susceptibility. This will apply in all parts of the sheet, not just the weakness section.

Q: What was the motto that Gen Custer used on the Native Americans? A: Here is your laser-pick.

Could someone question this answer?

The being that I would choose to become would be a low-level speedster/time-traveler known as Max Mercury. He does not have the ability to be truly powerful, but the tricks that he is able to pull off with his abilities can make it seem as though they are in league with Superman.

Imagine that you are visited by Eternity. He promises to transform you into some superbeing that you name right then. It can be any well-known being from either Marvel or DC, either hero or villain. You will gain everything that this being possesses, and this includes the rouges gallery and any wealth that goes with the being (but not sidekicks). For example if you choose Batman you will gain his wealth, Alfred, cave, Batmobile, Batplane, villains (Joker, Killer Croc, Poison Ivy, Bane, etc), but not Robin, Nightwing, or anyone else connected to Bats but still considered a separate being in their own right. If you elect to become a villain, then you will gain their record as it currently stands in that universe and will also be hunted by the heroes and villains. Who will you become and state your reasons.

Flight and resistance in any form may sound like great abilities but I cannot see much actual use for these (same with strength) (in their own). Another ability that seems as though it would be a wonderful power would be some form of blaster, but imagine what would happen when you miss the target. Instead the powerset that I would like (and I would not put on a costume): superspeed (x100 human max) +20 telescopic vision & hearing some form of martial arts 200 END 30 STR Resist Prot: 10PD/10ED/5FlashDef (Sight/Hear)/6MD +10 OCV +10 DCV 1 BODY/Turn Regen Even with this powerset, I still will not become some form of vigilante. Most likely what I would end up doing is becoming a great traveler and seeing the world. Of course if some criminals happened be stopped while I was out roaming then all the much better, but that would not be the reason that I went out and I would not have on a costume and mask with some alias.

Q: Have you ever had such an explosive hangover? A: This is your spark.

Q: What has the Necromancer been up to now? A: From the Think Backwards Department.

Q: Do you think that they will ever figure out I was the one who ate all the donuts? A: We have here an old-fashioned psychopath.

Q: Why are you so happy, Mr. Gates? A: Lets play a game here - bad cop or satanistic cop.

Q: Why is the computer putting out this strange version of Shakspeare? A: Traveling the square circle.

Building off the thread of unlimited STR, in a standard 400-pt campaign I would like for my char to possess an END that is effectively unlimited. Regardless of how long he is running, then the fight goes on, he needs to use his attack, etc, he will always find sufficient END for what he is calling the END for, at any time, regardless of the demand. If he has any other powers or abilities, they will all have their normal END usage requirement, not be bought to 0 END.

The most common "sport" that people use is wrestling, but I cannot see any reason why other sports (esp those like soccer, rugby, polo, etc) cannot be used in some form. Soccer would teach the use of high speed maneuvers in the tight area of the field (and a soccer field is much smaller than a football field - esp in the minor leagues). Think of what would be taught though such sports as rugby/football, polo, or even look for various Arabic, Russian, Oriental etc games to use.

Lets not forget a very basic method - the Detect (Clairsentience). This is the way that I would go about it but you may have other ways that you would like to. Detect (Clairsentience): +5 Roll; 360 degree; Range; Sense - RC 22 Unless the GM says otherwise (like Invisible) this power should allow the char to detect any form of clair in the range of the char's senses.
