    I had my second Moderna shot on Friday. So far, the side effects have been identical to the first one (the injection site is very tender).

    Ambidexterity is specifically built as PSLs offsetting the off-hand penalty (6e1 447). Did you mean that they couldn't be used to offset penalties for lack of weapon familiarities?

    And if the drain/aid/blast/entangle can only be used on combination with the kick/punch (not by themselves), you would actually put a Linked limitation on them, not a Trigger advantage.

    Since you mentioned being worried about making it cost too much.

    The special effect of any powers from the pool would be, "magic." This might not seem like much of a restriction, but, "Dispel Magic" would work against any of them.

    Another thing about cellphones worth noting is that you can't have a secret identity and have one. Apart from collecting all sorts of identifying information, cell phones are easily cracker, and the hacker can access not only your data but your camera and microphone. So a superhero in their costumed identity could at most use a prepaid "burner" phone.

    I disagree. Hero has mechanics for both escaping grabs, and damaging objects. Escaping an Entangle (usually) uses the rules for damaging objects. Therefore, it is an an attack (using the Strike maneuver) and can be Haymakered.

    There is a section in the 6E Bestiary of Celtic Monsters. I'm wondering what this has above and beyond that? That section has 17 monsters written up but the info for the above lists many of them but dozens more. Can we have some expanded info on that?

    IndianaJoe3 reacted to DShomshak in Gods of Law and Chaos   
    World mythology gives lots of examples of gods/demons of disease, so I don't see that as intrinsically strange for a Fantasy setting.
     
    The real question I'm left with is: What is meant by Law and Chaos? Looking at the list of divine purviews, my guess would be that Law consists of stability, predictability and control, while Chaos receives phenomena that are disruptive. The "upper sky" (sun, moon, stars) is stable. The "lower sky" of weather is changeable, with storms as big disruptors of mortal life. (Though that still leaves some redundenacy, perhaps, between Commerce and Wealth. Not the same concepts, but sufficiently entangled that if you're keeping a limited roster of gods it seems a little confining to have separate gods for them.)
     
    Stay away from concepts such as "Entropy," unless you really like scientific concepts that most people misunderstand.
     
    The overall structure of dividing gods into Law and Chaos suggests a system of directly opposing gods as Archer suggests: equitable, contractual Trade vs. disruptive, predatory Greed; predictable Sky vs. unpredictable, sometimes destructive Weather/Storms; legalistic Justice and Government vs. the chances of War; perhaps a god of Destiny vs. a god of Luck and Chance.
     
    And like Lord Liaden, I find some of the omissions peculiar. But pick out the concepts you mean to be important for your world. Bonus points if you can work those concepts into the world's ongoing conflicts and plotlines.
     
    One more thing: Are Law and Chaos meant to be stand-ins for Good and Evil? That's usually how it falls out in second-rate Fantasy, but it doesn't have to be so. Like, the forces of Law could be tyrannical, while Chaos stands for freedom. Or they both have good and bad aspects, which the gods do not care about: It's up to mortals to decide how to implement the concepts.
