Gideon, I'm just clocking in to say that I'm going to hang onto this game like a dog with a big frickin' bone. I'm really enjoying it to date - I admit that the first round of combat made me blink a bit, but I've enjoyed everything else in the game so far. There's always going to be problems...

Yep, Area gives you an attack with a radius of power rank x5 feet. That's a lot of boom. Of course, you really want Selective on that if you're planning on using it in a team...something the bad guys don't really need to worry about. To paraphrase Mystery Men: "Evil will always have the edge...

Yeah, that makes sense. I'm not fussed about the HP use, or the fact it took me out; Stated use for HP is stated use, and rolling a 4 on a damage save is never going to have a happy ending. At least I can spent a HP next round to try and get back into things. :) Synch.

*blinks* Well, um...ouch! I hate area effects... ;) [EDIT] One thing, which may just be my maths being funky - I don't know exactly what numbers you're chucking around, so I can't be sure - but I made both the Ref saves, so I'm saving at half effect, right? The first attack on me looks like it...

Lightspeed, 4/4, 0S/0L Chris grins at the appearance of the robots. "Y'know, we should probably spread out a bit in case they have explosives or the like. Robots love their explosives. And ladies and gentlemen...try to keep up." He bounces lightly in place for a moment as he speaks, and with a...

Yay! I'm back at home with broadband internet, having fulfilled all familial Easter obligations. I should be able to post pretty regularly from now on, and I can't wait to see how this game's going to unfold. :D Synch.

Lightspeed, 4/4, 0S/0L Chris smiles easily. "Not to worry; I'm always a perfect gentleman. And as for Linda...well, it might be w-" He breaks off abruptly at Steve's reaction. "Hey, everything OK? What, was it something I said?"

Cool, honest-to-God pseudo-science! Now I have a reference source for when I want Chris to pretend to know what he's talking about re:uniforms! :D Synch.

Lightspeed, 4/4, 0S/0L Chris scrutinises the material a little more closely, testing its elasticity. "Hmm. Possibly some kind of unstable long-chain polymer. I've heard that various groups have had some luck engineering such things at the molecular level - it's supposed to make them more...

Lightspeed, 4/4, 0S/0L Chris watches the rest of the team as they finish introducing themselves. Linda's entirely warrented skepticism about his abilities gets another shrug and a smile. The only thing that seems to put him off at all is Lindsey's greeting, the sensation of her telepathic voice...

Hey, Super Girl, the '25' in your diplomacy's the total, not the roll bonus, right? I was boggling on how you managed to get +25 without any super-charisma or skill focus for a moment there! :p

Lightspeed, 4/4, 0 S/ 0 L Chris sits there observing the others at the table, and not saying much - though when Karma broaches the idea of a party he grins slightly, glancing at Savage. 'Now, somehow I get the feeling Marcus might not be happy about that idea. The last thing the N.A.A. wants is...

Of course it is. May I point out that my character actually speaks Spanish, and will be paying you a visit to show you the error of your grammar. Er, I mean ways. :p Synch. (The age old 'My dad could beat up your dad', adapted for the RPG subculture! ;) )

I've played every core class in the book once or more, and there are only two classes I never intend to play again. They won't come as much of a surprise: the monk, and the bard. I found the monk to be a very pointless class - lots of bells, whistles and shiny flags, not much in the way of...

You know, it's an interesting point. It seems that the superhero genre's a tricky one where Mary Sues are concerned. If you think about it, we are creating people who are simply better than everyone else; they're stronger, or faster, or smarter, or whatever. I'm really not sure what a Mary Sue...

Fear the wrath of the DOUBLE POST!

Ack, you're right. I'm terribly sorry, tyrlaan - for some reason, I was adding -4 and +3 to be +1. I appear to be unable to perform simple mathematics, which doesn't bode well! :confused: Synch. PS- Gideon, quick question. Dice rolls - are you making them? The usual alternative to that is...

Sorry, I should have been clearer in my calculations. The total's 1(stats)+9(Base attack)+0(base defense) = 10, so even with no base defense, you seem to be 2 points over. It's possible that you're not, and have got the points back somewhere else but missed updating the sheet. [EDIT] Ignore me...

Quick thing - I confess to a certain obsession with character building and dissecting, and this is what I got from looking at the character submitted pp-wise. Phoenix - has 1pp unspent. Lightspeed - bang on 120. Tornado - has 2pp unspent. Karma - bang on 120. Banjax - bang on 120. Longhorn -...

That's true. I hadn't really thought about it, but Chris is a bit of a late bloomer, with his power only having manifested a year ago or so just before he turned 23. It occurs to me that it will be interesting to see Karma and Longhorn's reactions to Chris's inevitable hitting on them...
