Re: reincarnation Thia: The kid has been around for 18 years, doing shtuff, getting known, etc. So there's someone "already their" that has to be changed. Theirs a history the "target" has, people think they know this guy/gal. And its 18 years not 1 hour.

Re: I need a function! "Jerkin, Schmerkin, its a doublet" The Schmerkin is a rennasance (how do you spell that?!?) mans outer coat. Looks just like pix from tudor England. But its bullet proof! Even stops bruises and knives. 15PD/1ED locations 9 - 13. Next: The Rainbow Pickle

Re: I need a function! Looks like ordinery planning book; the kind you write down things to do, track money&time, all that shtuff. Its for a whole year. BUT! the first 7 things you write down "to do" you WILL do. Like it or not, good at the time or not, you WILL do them. Good thing? If you write down something you 'spect someone else to do, they WILL do it (unless dead or the like). Next, The Perpetual Motion Calendar.

Re: If You Draw It...They Will Come What what is calld? Mohawks famous for working, skyscraper construction was the job. AKA "ironwork". AKA "steelwork". For the truth, for The Straight Dope, see http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/659/why-do-so-many-native-americans-work-on-skyscrapers

Re: Paris Hilton as a super villain She needs Distracting Costume from ??USDB?? (wherever). Transfer INT to COM, Ranged.

Re: Looking for a good name for a Martial Art "Effe|mina|tus -a -um" Means "effeminate" and is insulting. "Fe|mina|rum" would be "Women's" so its right.

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Gone for a week (bad access). Come back to some real lolz. For all the quotes---

Re: The Cat Launcher Your gonna need XTime, for the reload. How you do the chance you get skratched wile reloading? Side Effect?

Re: Nazi Flying Saucers I just had an idea: the Nazi flying saucers are swastika shaped and spin as they fly. Cool visual!

Re: Money in Fantasy Setting

Re: Free Strike Expensive way: buy Continuous and Damage Shield as naked Advantages on your STR (as naked Advantages, you don't have to use them all the time). Cheap way: Hold your phase--as soon as the ninja moves in, punch him. If you buy Autofire, 2 shots (or 3 or 4 if kicking fits the character concept), as a naked Advantage on your STR, you can hit the ninja multiple times. NB: this does not allow hitting all the ninjas that attack, as Continuous & Damage Shield do.

Re: reincarnation I Shall Return: xd6 Major Transform (Mental), target's mind into mine, transform "healed" by dying; Based on ECV (+1), Works Against EGO, Not BODY (+1/4), Triggered (by dying) (+1/4), IPE, mental sense group (no "partially transformed" effect) (+1/2), Standard Effect (+0), Limited Target (humans) (-1/2), Extra Time (18 years) (-6 1/2), Gradual Effect: one year (-2 3/4), No Conscious Control (-2) Put as many dice into it as you think necessary. You might consider Independent. As well, you could change the Limited Target Limitation to "Those who are born the same day I die" and make it -1.

Re: Anyone actually playing anything? Unfortunately, I am not playing in a Star HERO campaign. All my friends I game with have no interest in science fiction. In fact, most of them actively dislike sci-fi.

Re: EM-50 Urban Assault Vehicle Interesting. In the real world, that would mean beefing up the suspension a whole lot. Oh, they missed a trick; a caltrop or oil-slick dispenser. After all, it's not like an RV can out-run anybody.

Re: Nazi Flying Saucers

Re: Paris Hilton as a super villain That is how I would build it. I would make the single command "Think of me as the ultimate skank." Also, I'd make it Always On rather than No Conscious Control. And, I'd give it AoE, Non-Selective and Line of Sight --- say, didn't v5.5 add a LoS option to AoE?

Re: R-O-L-E or R-O-L-L HA! Everyone knows psychology and sociology is all bunk! Hmph! Just kidding!

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... What you need is a "I just soiled my undies" smiley.

Re: Looking for a good name for a Martial Art All of which agrees with what a friend of mine told me. Unfortunately, that means the Latin would be Omnivis, which sounds like a supervillain played for laughs, or a laundry detergent. Pugnus is Latin for "fist". You could make up a feminine form, Pugna; that, however, means "fist fight, brawl". Pugna|tor, -o|ris is "fighter, warrior" and masculine; you could invent Pugna|trix, -tricis as a feminine form.

Re: THE BOOK OF DRAGONS -- What Do *You* Want To See? Yes, I have read The Flight of Dragons. I'm afraid you misremember an important point: they dissolved part of each vertebra, which grew continuously, to get the hydrogen. It's been awhile since I read it, but I'm not sure the vented-off hydrogen was ignited electrically.
