  1. The Lovecraftian ending to Raiders was great, but the palindromedary tagline had me in stitches.
  2. Cute video, sorry thought it would post the actual vid. https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2lzhf1_a-dog-walks-a-child_fun
  3. What's there to discuss. Two of them are mushy green globs with fungus growing out of them and one of them is rock hard.
  4. Miss Martian didn't pick her own song, but she's been a good sport about it... She was adamant that it be made perfectly clear that she does not eat "people meat".
  5. Next up, Destroyer's song may not be much of a rousing battle song, but I think it's fitting for someone who lived behind enemy lines, survived a Nazi prison camp, and certainly saw as much loss and death as Cap and the other WWII heroes.
  6. Alright, I feel like I need some theme songs. First up, team leader the Thing and arguably the team's theme song as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMLiqEqMQyQ
  7. Most GMs won't let you buy a 1d6K attack and add it to the strength of an attack you get from equipment. If you buy a 1d6K attack you have a 1d6K attack that is independent of any gear you have. I think that's where part of your confusion is coming from. Heck, Deadly Blow allows you to add 1d6K to a pre-existing attack but only in limited circumstances. For 12 points you can apply that to extremely limited circumstances or a single weapon (knives, short swords, long sword would all be separate categories). Compared to a 15 point Naked Advantage that can make any attack Armor Piercing, yeah, I see the Naked Advantage as potentially more unbalanced.
  8. The disadvantages reduce the cost of package deals? I didn't remember any house rules that major in the setting.
  9. Also, sorry to have sniped you. Besides wanting more females I needed at least one bruiser with mental powers, Emma Frost and Maxima are lurking out there!
  10. Now she gets to be the middle sister to Shayera and Buttercup. Should be interesting.
  11. And without further ado, Round 8: M'gann M'orzz, better known as Miss Martian Oops, wait, that can't be right.... Ah, that's better. 3 bonus points if the pick is selected within 24 hours 3 bonus points if the character has never died* (not sure) 1 bonus point if the character chosen is female 4 bonus points if the character has never starred in their own solo ONGOING title or MINISERIES 2 bonus points if the character was created before 1956 or after 1986 2 points if the character has a code-name and a costume Total: 12-15
  12. Round 7 pick: Buttercup 3 bonus points if the pick is selected within 24 hours 3 bonus points if the character has never died* 1 bonus point if the character chosen is female 4 bonus points if the character has never starred in their own solo ONGOING title or MINISERIES 2 bonus points if the character appeared in more than one independent title (Not sure about this, they've had lots of crossovers with other CN characters) 2 bonus points if the character was in a movie or TV show 5 bonus points if they're not published by Image. Total: 18-20
  13. Ross: You can’t seriously be considering bringing them in! Thing: Not “them” general, we can’t draft the team, just an individual. Black Adam: They are all infants! You expect us to fight alongside children!? Destroyer: From what I understand you never had a problem trying to kill a twelve year old, what is your complaint about fighting WITH one?. Adam: Why you… Thing: Alright, HOLD IT! Settle down and we can discuss this… Now, which one do we want? Hawkgirl: Ben, I know I said we needed more women on the team, but are you sure this is a good idea? Thing: Look, these gals protect a whole city. They’ve fought off mad scientists and robots, giant monsters, clones, and every kind of maniac you could think of. They’re ready for the big league. Hawkgirl: So which one do we pick? The blonde one seems to have the best temperament and takes direction well. Plus her sonic powers are something we don’t really have. Sunspot: No, she’s too much of a bubble head. She can’t stand to hurt anything “cute”, she couldn’t handle a squirrel let alone Squirrel Girl. I say the red head. She’s got the freeze and fire breath and as the smartest is the team’s tactician. We could use a scientist. Destroyer: Ross is a general and considered a something of a military genius, Black Adam has led a team and defends a whole country. Not to mention what I could say about the rest of you. While a new perspective is always good, I doubt a five year old will add a lot to our strategy sessions. Hawkgirl: So it’s decided? Ross: You are all insane! Thing: Yeah, it’s decided. "She’s the toughest fighter" and physically strongest, she should fit right in with our little family of brawlers. I’ll make the call…
  14. The Tick and Hellboy, my first and second choice sniped. Dang.
  15. If the bow itself is a magic item why is the AoE bought as a Naked/Independent Advantage instead of as part of the bow itself?
  16. Hero System 5Er, page 123, paragraph 1: "A character with Flight 15" (30 Active Points) and a X8 Noncombat Movement multiple (total of Flight 120") only spends 4 END per Phase." EDIT: Plus you quoted and responded to Scott but completely ignored Hyper-Man who gave you a pretty definitive answer.
  17. In Hero System 5E Revised the section you talk about clearly says it costs 4 END. Are you using revised or the original 5E? There are 2 Golden Eagle examples on page 122, the one under "Combat and Noncombat Movement" does specifically address END cost and contradicts your example from 123 (which isn't in my book).
