Re: What Have You Watched Recently? Senkou no Night Raid-low level supers/espers working for Japanese secret service in 1931 Shainghai. The studio puts a disclaimer at the end of each ep because of the sensitivity of the time period. Worth a look. Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn Ep#1 Yuusha Raideen(the '70's original)-what can I say, I like both old and new school heavy metal.

Re: Magicman-5E yes. And a pic:

Re: Magicman-5E Pretty much. The oog conceit is that the game is a anime series that airs in the 1-2am timeslot in japan (aka Berserk) because of content. It is done in 5ER because all of the players have the books and/or HD.[and no,the gm did not start the game with that in mind: it just sort of morphed that way.] Gen-marked is the equivalent of a medalert braclet as a tattoo.

Re: Magicman-5E Take #2:Thank you very much!(the board ate the first try at a response.)

Re: Magicman-5E one of my nicknames irl is spinner-as in the dolphin.

Re: Magicman-5E Thank you very much!

Re: Magicman-5E Okay, that didn't come out right.I am using HD6, the html heroboards export format, so what went wrong?

Okay, I've worked up the fortitude to submit a character to the board to see if there are any suggestions on the build. Before anyone comes in with"I wouldn't allow it in my game,"this is a gm legal build in a game that has been running since Aug'05 and the gm is sticking to 5ER for the life of the game.(I do have a version done in 6E, but I would like input on the version being played.)

Re: The character should fit on one side of one sheet of paper in 12 point type Thank you. I'll try them. I had been using the Friz(sp?) template.

Re: The character should fit on one side of one sheet of paper in 12 point type I'm having a very hard time with the idea that character sheet page count=cheating/powergaming/munchkin, having been hit by the fact that HD for me will not print out properly in FireFox (4+ reguardless of settings vs.2 in IE). This is suppose to be a game, not a school report. And one should never think that posting to a board means that the same person can edit code of any kind or need to in order to escape said labels.

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... The Honorverse lines went by me in spider drive,cause I don't get it.

Re: History: My first HERO character My 1st champs character (back in the '80s) was Aimer aka the Mk26 security android [security guard has lab mishap and ends up in the bot].Wrist mounted oif cannon.Only played him once as he was too slow to keep up with rest of pc's(had fun tho). Next was PanzerFlight an alien powersuit inspired as a man sized cross between MSG and Iron Man w/instant change(recognized on the street for doing Tom Carvell style commercials for his security company). I've played PF on and off ever since(will have to see what he looks like in 6ed).

Re: Cool Guns for your Games could you post a version of that article that doesn't cost $5+ to view?

Re: Lame or awesome? we have a character in our game with the same power. She calls herself a "Post-mortem Interrorgation Specialist".

Re: What Have You Watched Recently? Shin Mazinger ep's #23-24, Canaan #10-11 (someone needs to write up both Canaan + Alphard,) MSG Stargazer, Needless#9,Sahara(the Bogart version).

Re: Replacements for... Thanks again. I will run this past my gm and see if he will let me use it in our 5e game (or if this convinces him to hybridize 5+6eds).

Re: Replacements for... Deadly Blow will work with the Multipower framework?

Re: Replacements for... Thanks for that. (mmwv because our gm does not use hit locations...) How about NAdv linked to int role custom limit once per opponent per day?

Re: Replacements for... This now looks rough for my current build. He's now 20+pts over the 5e version even with the 30pt give back(25fw,5lw)[as I said in the opening post I do not have access to the 6e rules per se but I do have the HD update (yay service contract,)and it has been stated many times that HD is not the rules.].

6e dropped Find weakness and Lack of weakness; so what is a RAW replacement for these powers? (since I do not yet have access to the 6e books/pdfs, a book/page quote is not useful to me, but using said quote in any replies is welcome).

Re: Atmospheric reentry ... If I can get back into this thread without being tacnuked... the question was poised because I was looking for a way to build a mp with two slots on charges; a)M-scale flight to get from ground to orbit,+ a way to get down again . The character has the ls+the def[30p+ed hardened plus 25% dam reduction p+ed] but I'd prefer that he not soak the damage on the way down. The sfx of my idea was to link a forcewall to gliding (for aerobraking) but the character is up against a hard limit in the campaign on def + teleportation is used by and would step on other pc's.

Getting up to orbital heights seems easy; getting down again is giving me galloping fits. Force wall linked to gliding/flight on a continuing charge? any ideas?
