I've played around with the idea of this as a toggle, depending on setting. In a supers game (as you suggest), there would probably be only one character (or a minority of group members) taking Criminology or Forensic Medicine and there's really no need to break it down further. If we are playing Police Procedural Hero, all the characters will have it, so we need to flip the toggle. Now, using the main skill requires subskills (Knowledge Skills related to the main skill) to use it effectively. Using the main skill without at least a Familiarity in the relevant subskill would have a -3 penalty because they don't have the more specialized knowledge needed to effectively apply the main skill. Higher levels in the subskill would allow a complementary roll, as usual. Example: Detectives Willams and Hunter analyzing data from a crime scene trying determine which direction a gunshot came from. Both have Criminology, but only Hunter has Ballistic Analysis. Detective Williams will take a -3 to his Criminology roll.

Yeah, that's exactly what I meant.

This is incorrect. (Or else why would you buy more than one point of Impenetrable?) Each point of Impenetrable defense stops one point of Penetrating damage. For example, if a character has 5 RPD, plus 5 RPD (Impenetrable), it would stop 10 points of damage plus 5 points of Penetrating damage.

Also, make sure you're not trying to run HD without unzipping it.

Potato, potahto. (Followed by, "potatobraking manuever" and, "Is potato.")

"The spacecraft successfully conducted a selenobraking maneuver."

I have notes for about 20 background skill and complication sets. Most of them are fairly low-value (8-10 points), but work well as templates for NPCs or PC backgrounds.

Hero System Martial Arts has some examples.

One of my co-workers tested positive for COVID on Tuesday. I don't think he passed it on to anyone (I'm not displaying any symptoms), but it's still out there.

I see this conversation as being useful on an SRD/SDD level, but I don't think I'd want to play it.

I don't know the release schedule, but there's a thread in the Other Software section of the board.

Hey, this game looks familiar.

Some actual experiements.

The speaker now claims he misspoke, and was discussing a hypothetical situation. https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2023/06/air-force-denies-running-simulation-where-ai-drone-killed-its-operator/
