    Proposal: 2 New Feats WITHDRAWN

    I submitted a character with two feats from the Masterminds Manual, and was told I'd have to submit a proposal separately for them. So here they are: 1) "Benefit: Use Intelligence for Gather Information." It's exactly what it sounds like - replace Charisma with Intelligence as the base ability...

    HQ: The 'Ready Lounge'

    A female voice comes in over the speakers. "Doctor Masako Ishikawa, Codename: Quasar." The doors open to reveal a young 5-foot tall Asian woman in her late teens or early twenties (it's hard to tell). What appear to be about two dozen stainless-steel ball bearings fly through the air around...

    Kenson has indeed stated numerous times that case-by-case tradeoffs are fine. There are no tradeoff limits in the core rulebook. One example character, the Martial Artist, actually has a 6-point attack/damage swing. I don't know what the official policies are around here. I've found, though...

    There. Quasar Version 2.0 has been posted, awaiting approval. I promise to stop tinkering with her. :P

    Over here at the thread I started concerning TK and movement powers, I was finally directed to an older thread that had already tackled the topic. The consensus of everyone involved was that TK indeed allows for picking up heavy objects and holding onto them while moving at high speeds, and...

    Here's another character creation question, while i'm at it: Money. Is there any point at all in giving a character Benefit: Wealth, or is it assumed that the nations sponsoring this task force put up the money for anything we need? Do the Resolutes have a "slush fund?" Are you guys even using...

    That makes perfect sense. They're not even close. Say I've got TK 12 (Str 60) and Flight 6 (500mph). If I can just "pick up" the object and go, I can fly at full speed while carrying anything up to 16 tons. If I'm just using TK 12 to push something around, I can move a 50 ton object 5 feet...

    Among the rules issues I'm trying to iron out with my character is summed up in this thread at the Atomic Think Tank. An official reply from Kenson will take forever (I posted in the Official forum just in case), so in the mean time, I'm wondering what the moderators think on this matter.

    I've been chomping at the bit to play, but I'm waiting on character approval and trying not to be pushy about it. :)

    I doubt it. I've heard the term "skill-monkey" be used to describe detectives, gadgeteers, costumed adventurers, D&D rogues, etc., for several years.

    Pretty much all my characters are hybrids of two (or more) of the archetypes listed in the M&M core rulebook. Probably because all my favorite comic book characters are hybrids of two or more of those archetypes. Which is why whenever I"m creating an M&M character, I never feel like I have...

    Don't Circe and Pandora have that covered?

    I think I'll go ahead and rework my character in light of the new errata, and if the judges decide not to enforce the errata, I might switch back to the old build. I don't really have a lot invested one way or the other in how they decide the power works - certainly not enough to go to the...

    Whew! Thanks. That's a relief. Good to be aboard. Before my character is set in stone, I have one rules question for the moderators regarding 11 power points worth of my build: The Aura extra. Are you using the rules from the original printing of the core book (it's just a +1 extra), or the...

    Greetings, all. Yesterday I posted "Quasar" in the Character Submissions forum, and emailed the moderators as instructed. I'd rather not enter the lounge with her until(unless) she is approved. Unfortunately, I didn't take the time to peruse the pile of existing characters until after I...
