Re: You, or your PC? Some of my characters are aspects of myself amplified, but most of my characters are very different than me... Although most are characters with abilities/skills I wish I could possess... As a player, though, I've never played a character that would do something that I would never do (i.e. kill an innocent, sell drugs, rape)... I just can't bring myself to act that way (even in our criminal campaigns)... As a storyteller, all bets are off...

Re: Seeking a character name for a Puerto Rican teleporter Don't forget the soliloquy rule... Soliloquy Rule: It doesn't matter how much time you take on naming your character, if you're caught on video during your first appearance and don't give a good soliloquy with your name, you'll probably be named by the people who write for Action News... For Example: A fellow player in a game I was in spent a long time coming up with a name for his brick that converted fire/heat into cold (his DR was a visual ice coating). He finally decided on "Thermodynamic". Then came our first mission with him, stop some metapowered bank robbers. Needless to say we went there, beat the villains, and then left (we had little concept of P.R. at the time). Later that day we saw the news byte about our fight. The three established heroes were properly named in the report but he was described as "crashing into the villains like a cold front off the lake". Needless to say Thermodynamic became Cold Front... I've found that alot of heroes don't name themselves, the public names them... Guess it's the price of being a hero... That and having FEMA say "Oh snit... Not him... Again... Call out the troops... >sigh<"

Re: Project 275 Power Armor Hero: Warbird for review I like the write-up for your WARBIRD armor, the only things I would change are: 1) If it's experimental armor and still being tested alot of the powers would have Activation Roll with either Jammed or Burn-Out (got to play with some new toys in the military that seemed to either go wonky or break for no reason)... 2) The Invisibility would mostly be Sight (Chameleon effect)/Hearing (it's quiet when staying put)/Radar (new Stealth-composites) with the Chameleon limitation and a fringe (it is experimental)... Possibly give it a few charges of limited duration... 3) Link an Invisibility: Radio Group to your HRRP to simulate encrypted transmissions, it’s fringe would be static on the frequency you’re currently transmitting on. 4) Extended Breathing instead of Self-Contained to simulate an attached air supply… 5)And a test pilot really needs Luck… Or a good HMO… But that's just my personal preferences... Great job by the way

Re: about bricks and possibly super powers in general Any kind of brick is okay in my game, as long as it has a respectable and non-swiss cheese background... If the player wants to say that flying space monkeys help him/her keep the ship/building they're lifting, then so be it... When I'm a player, as long as the team brick(s) keep the enemy occupied long enough for me to set up some of my extended activation powers I don't mind the fuzzy physics... All bets were off when I was running a "Rising Stars" style game in another system, but that was real-world with heroes... Never thought I would use physics out of school...
