Snow leopards (see my pic) and (bigby)wolves don't get along. Sorry, b, it is copy & paste from HD. Looks fine on desktops.

Often easy to hide with a cycle, though.

Re: Vicious Cycle - remember, speed traps only work if the cops can catch you.

For armor, how about a tough costume / track suit / whatev made of a blend - Nomex, a fireproof fabric used for racing car driver's suits, and Spectra, a balloon fabric several times lighter and stronger than Kevlar? Physical Feats Bruce Lee's phenomenal fitness allowed him to perform numerous exceptional physical feats: Lee could land a punch in around five hundredths of a second (0.05 second) from 3 feet away, and from 5 feet away it was around eight hundredths of a second (0.08 second). Lee could take in one arm a 75 lb barbell from a standing position with the barbell held flush against his chest and slowly stick his arms out locking them, holding the barbell there for several seconds. In a speed demonstration, Lee could snatch a dime off a person's open palm before they could close it, and leave a penny behind. Lee performed one-hand push-ups using only the thumb and index finger. Lee performed 50 reps of one-arm chin-ups. Lee could cause a 300-lb (136.08 kg) bag to fly towards and thump the ceiling with a sidekick. Lee held an elevated v-sit position for 30 minutes or longer. ***************************************************************************************************************** In games that I GM, STR 18 is world class. There is a "400" club in pro football, for the elite who can bench press that many pounds. Most real life martial artists can't deadlift 660 pounds. If you purchase more than 17 STR, you must include a plausible explanation for it in your Background or addendum. "I know Kung Fu," let alone "I know Comic Book Martial Arts," will not suffice. Now, something like "I am a large mesomorph and I work out four hours a day like Bruce Lee" works, among other things. I don't require explanations for other primary stats in the 18 - 20 range, though I like to see them.

Keep in mind that building a vehicle in Hero has some similarities to building a character. Here's a 5th edition example- I'd subtract the Swimming.

Not quite what you're asking about, because it's pulp fact, though very inspirational, Beasts, Men and Gods is a great read. Dealing with the Mad Baron, it was well received- here is a review, followed by author information from wikipedia. Once I picked it up, I did not put it down until it was finished.. Adventure, revolution, politics, spies, travel, eastern religions, geology, survival are just a short list of items covered in this compelling book. -Robert Ferguson, February 18, 2009 After Kolchak's defeat in 1920, Ossendowski joined a group of Poles and White Russians trying to escape from communist-controlled Siberia to India through Mongolia, China and Tibet. After a journey of several thousand miles the group reached Chinese-controlled Mongolia, only to be stopped there by the take-over of the country led by mysterious Baron Roman Ungern von Sternberg. The Baron was a mystic who was fascinated by the beliefs and religions of the Far East such as Buddhism and Lamaism, and who believed himself to be a reincarnation of Kangchendzönga, the Mongolian god of war. Ungern-Sternberg's philosophy was an exceptionally muddled mixture of Russian nationalism with Chinese and Mongol beliefs. However he also proved to be an exceptional military commander and his forces grew rapidly.Ossendowski joined the baron's army as a commanding officer of one of the self-defense troops. He also briefly became Ungern von Sternberg's political advisor and chief of intelligence. Little is known of his service at the latter post, which adds to Ossendowski's legend as a mysterious person. In late 1920 he was sent with a diplomatic mission to Japan and then the USA, never to return to Mongolia. Some writers believe that Ossendowski was one of the people who hid the semi-mythical treasures of the Bloody Baron. After his arrival to New York, Ossendowski started to work for the Polish diplomatic service and possibly as a spy. At the same time, in late 1921 he published his first English language book: Beasts, Men and Gods. The novel, a description of his travels during the Russian Civil War and the wars led by the Bloody Baron, became a striking success and a best-seller. In 1923 it was translated into Polish and then into several other languages. Check out the table of contents. PART I. DRAWING LOTS WITH DEATH CHAPTER I. INTO THE FORESTS II.

Given the nonpersistent Lim. and the special effect, I'd say she has to be aware of the attack and be able to maneuver the shield, but it would not usually take a half Action or so to do this. Don't forget to buy a few Levels of DCV for the shield! Please show us a picture of her.

I'm lobbying for the Evil Female Hippo Brick. The ancient Egyptians recognized the hippo as a ferocious denizen of the Nile. Zulu warriors preferred to be as brave as a hippopotamus, since even lions were not considered as brave. "In 1888,Captain Baden-Powell was part of a column searching for the Zulu chief Dinizulu, who was leading the Usutu people in revolt against the British colonists. The column was joined by John Dunn, a white Zulu chief, who led an impi (army) of 2,000 Zulu warriors to join the British." The words of the Zulu anthem sounded like this: "Een-gonyama Gonyama! "Invooboo! Yah-bo! Yah-bo! Invooboo!" "John Dunn was at the head of his impi. [baden Powell] asked him to translate the Zulu anthem his men had been singing. Dunn laughed and replied: "He is a lion. Yes, he is better than a lion....he is a hippopotamus." -wikipedia excerpts

Evil Female Hippo Brick! Ammit (pron.: /ˈæmɨt/; "devourer" or "soul-eater"; also spelled Ammut or Ahemait) was a female demon in ancient Egyptian religion with a body that was part lion, hippopotamus and crocodile—the three largest "man-eating" animals known to ancient Egyptians. A funerary deity, her titles included "Devourer of the Dead", "Eater of Hearts", and "Great of Death". Ammit lived near the scales of justice in Duat, the Egyptian underworld. In the Hall of Two Truths, Anubis weighed the heart of a person against the feather of Ma'at, the goddess of truth, which was depicted as an ostrich feather (the feather was often pictured in Ma'at's headdress). If the heart was judged to be not pure, Ammit would devour it, and the person undergoing judgement was not allowed to continue their voyage towards Osiris and immortality. Once Ammit swallowed the heart, the soul was believed to become restless forever; this was called "to die a second time". Ammit was also sometimes said to stand by a lake of fire. In some traditions, the unworthy hearts were cast into the fiery lake to be destroyed. Some scholars believe Ammit and the lake represent the same concept of destruction. Ammit was not worshipped; instead she embodied all that the Egyptians feared, threatening to bind them to eternal restlessness if they did not follow the principle of Ma'at. -wikipedia

Thanks, DocSamson - I was trying to remember Hip Flask's name!

In ancient Egypt, hippos are considered evil. They were responsible for more human deaths than any other animal. Should our brick be a villain from long ago?

Playing with the filter button gives access to all pages. Forceknight's battlesuit was the equal of anyone else in the world -this could be an understatement, given Scott's statement that tech and techs from the Avro Arrow were responsible for it. Love the Arrow reference, Scott, and the book proposal in general. With it fly-by-wire system, internal weapons carriage concept, and Iroquois engine, the Arrow [long-range supersonic fighter-interceptor] was easily 25 years ahead of its time, if not more. -Storms of Controversy by Palmiro Campagna, p.160

Works even better when it comes with a good story!

Ha! I suggest treating this case-by-case. "I will not allow people to die through inaction" can be taken very broadly, and if done so, would drive you to madness, i.e. deaths to natural disasters, disease, hunger, etc. Even "I will no allow people to be murdered through inaction" is very broad, given that we can't be everywhere at once. I feel that the players were wrong this time. A peace officer or emergency medical technician or such would be required to help the civilians. I recommend weeping relatives and hostile broadcasters on various media. "Heartless, blood-thirsty vigilantes allowed innocent men, women and children to die in the street, pursuing a vicious assailant...more at eleven." If it was Captain Code vs. Killing's mom who was bleeding out, would he have then taken a moment to bind her wound? We all had a mom. Of course, if there were no record...mind you, many places have external security cameras, and someone could make a dying cell phone call. "I love...."
