So don't assume the fireball literally fills every inch of its space. Picture it more like a firework. Now you can imagine somebody dodging, but a skilled caster makes it more difficult to do so.

Ah yes. That works. Changing something Close range to Perception is +2... But actually, I just read what you had there. Jemal's right that Perception probably isn't necessary. The main benefit is that you don't need to make an attack roll, and this is a friendly power. That's true. And I'd say...

I am still waiting for some approvals on Jiska. I need those before she can get into an adventure, don't I?

That fireball is harder to evade the better the wizard is at casting it in both 3E and 4E. I do understand that being the person making the roll is associated with your character being the one acting, but that applies at least as much to attacking as defending. Really, both characters are...

Binder Fred: Unless I'm missing something, his Close Attack bonus is only +5--Fighting 3 and 2 ranks of the Close Attack Advantage. Reducing his speed is really on a 1-point Quirk. It's basically a negative rank in Speed. Not Against Animals is probably more of a Quirk, too, although it depends...

"Hmm.." says Antal. "Well, this seems straightforward enough." He lays a hand on Kin's back and focuses on casting a protective field around the eidolon. You go approach first and see how they react. he adds silently, as Kin complies with claws ready. Antal: Standard Action: Cast mage armor on...

"Really? Huh," says Zero with a shrug. "Never saw much need for one myself, but to each her own."

Another man, probably nearing 30, approaches the group. His clothes aren't particularly interesting--jeans, white and black sneakers, and a blue T-shirt with "Easily distracted" scrawled on it in white. He's just shy of six feet tall and broad. His curly brown hair is slightly longer than...

Well, the prize arrived in the mail today. This is quite an impressive book! It's heavy. I think I might be afraid of it. I'm going to see how much of this I can get through tonight... Thanks again, Morrus!

Jemal: Related to Silverscales? That could be interesting. Feel free to create your own setting details, though. I just included some NPCs that are both plot-relevant (or related to them--the queen's probably not relevant herself, but when talking to the princess she might come up so what the...

Jemal: Any of those look fine to me. As for the lethality, I was just thinking genre differences--goblins die in fantasy whereas thugs in superhero stories are defeated by surprisingly nonlethal attacks and kept unconscious or tied up just long enough for the police to conveniently arrive--not...

Well, his family never took power but were put into place by a semi-mystical guardian who established the borders, so there's that. Alexander is also more interested in maintaining and protecting the kingdom as it stands than expanding it. But if it were planned he might be more okay with it...

Sounds good to me. Would you want complete memory-loss or would he still have a vague idea of what's going on around him?

"More or less D&Dish fantasy" is probably a good description. Creatures I definitely had in mind include humans, elves (actually I don't think I have any elf NPCs in mind, but I have a half-elf one so logic dictates they must be around), goblins, worgs, kobolds, dragons, and demons, although I...

I've updated the OP with a bit more setting information, including some NPC profiles (the two above and a few more) and the basic ideas for a major religion. Again, if any player wants to do a religious-based PC and wants to go in another direction with that, that's fine too. Shayuri: No, I...

Yep workable. Actually, sounds perfect. Lessee... Prince Mercer, the second son of the king, is a gifted diplomat and will likely serve as his brother's lead adviser concerning foreign affairs. He already serves his father in that manner. He has taken a number of trips into the neighboring...

Antal steps closer to the guards, although he indicates that Kin should stay back while he does so. The ugly masks seem strange to him and he can not imagine their purpose. They make him feel a bit on-edge, but he doesn't see any real evidence that things aren't going exactly like they were...

Binder Fred: Sounds good. My only concern about the hunted by the law part is that Eleanore kind of is the law, but if he's from a neighboring nation than there's no issue there. As for the Impressive power... Enhanced Presence or related skills and advantages could work. It could also be an...

The Intimidate skill isn't just being scary. It's controlling people by being scary. You can tell exactly what a half-orc with a big weapon can do. You know that if you run out of his reach he can't hurt you. That bard is sneaky. And she knows magic. And she's figured out just the right subtle...

So I'd like to get some more GMing experience. And specifically try out using MnM (my favorite system) with ideas that are a little bit outside of its default genre. Is anybody interested in a short (relatively) 3rd-Edition Mutants and Masterminds game in a fantasy setting? I have one or two...
