I typically wear a mask for most of an 8-hour shift at work (taking it off during breaks, if I'm alone in the break room). They're not the most uncomfortable piece of PPE that I wear, and I can breathe just fine. Wear a mask, get accustomed to it, and stop being a hazard to everyone. (This is directed more at theoretical anti-maskers, not any particular poster.)

I disagree. Shields should add passively to your DCV because, just by their use, they close off some angles of attack. An attacker has to try to strike around it.

I replaced my broken gaming headset, but that's not very amusing.

It's not going to be able to help with the history or the equipment, but I'm sure there are power builds that might be useful.

Limited SPD can get really complicated, and wind up being too cheap or almost useless, depending on rule interpretation and how effective the player is at using it.

Block is used when you don't have a DEX advantage over your opponent. If the PCs have a higher DEX than the NPCs, Dodge is better because they already have one of the main benefits of Block (acting before their opponents).

40 years after his electoral defeat by Ronald Reagan, a conservative Democrat returns to the White House. Welcome Back, Carter

Throw in Doctor T and we've got a hit.

The question that no-one has asked yet is, "Does it matter, in context, if the villain is mistaken for the hero?" If it does, make the roll. The villain may not be trying hard (not applying applicable levels, etc), but there still may be consequences for the hero if they are confused. OTOH, if there's no chance of blowback to the hero, don't bother.

Use the Throwing rules (6e2 pg 80).

Hero Designer requires Java, but I don't think Chrome OS supports any form of it.

I'm the exact opposite. I could sign my name 5 times, and at least 2 wouldn't match. I keep joking that if my handwriting gets any worse I'll have to go to medical school.

"That is the shiniest mouse I have ever seen."

They've done several similar builds, and they'd noted the resemblence to the protosaber.

Does this count as a sword?

I'm seeing the same problem everyone else is. Casters, supposedly so skilled that they automatically succeed in casting any spell they know, are suddenly worse than a journeyman mage when faced with a particular adverse condition. This violates common and dramatic sense, so we have to fix it. My suggestion is to use the different levels of penalties for RSR to represent how well the caster knows a particular spell, from -1/5 AP for a spell they don't know very well, all the way down to not requiring a roll at all for a spell they know very well. If the caster is in an anti-magic field, he casts the spell at the combined penalty of the field and the spell AP. If he doesn't normally make a roll (the spell doesn't have RSR), the AP of the spell doesn't add a penalty. This does assume that all casters will take the magic skill because some of their spells require a roll. Another option is to simply require all spells to have the RSR Limitation, and handwave away the roll if the caster is sufficiently skilled (adjusted roll of 19-, or something like that). When they get hit by anti-magic, their chance of success drops below the threshold, and they have to roll.

I've used a HtH Damage Shield on a mobile Barrier to allow it to run into things and push them aside.

Would being a mechanic be a good analogy? Some people repair cars for a living (wizards). Some people fix their own cars (dabblers). Most people just pump their own gas and change the brake light when it burns out (amulets and daily prayers).

Your description of, "high school girls casting love spells" gives the impression that magic is common, perhaps to the point where not using magic is noteworthy.

I know Lucius Alexander did a build and posted it to the board, but I don't think it was ever used in a game.

One question we haven't asked yet is, "Is being one gender a Social Complication?" A Minor Transform can only add 10 points of Complications, but an Major Transform can add 20.
