I would say being a minor is a discriptor. It might be a complication. Probably not a drawback. RW a minor would never be allowed to go on combat missions for the UN. Western nations even letting under 17s join their army can lead to trouble from protestors. (It certainly has in the UK and...

NO I'm just not sure about this one, sorry. I think it is thematically strong, but I am not convinced by the implementation. (Very close decision.) I was very tempted to vote yes simply because it reduces the usefulness of evasion which is probably too cheap but eventually decided that was a...

YES I've thought about this one long enough. It's in the core book. I can't see anything wrong with it. Personaly I would go for H4H's interpretation and any fail gets the knockback, not just fails by 5 or more.

This example, to me, is a significant misunderstanding between the players and the GM about what is cool, and what is making the adventure too easy. I don't think this case involved me but let me try and put a possible GMs view of events. Scenario: Player A is going to be ambushed by Dr Dark...

Most people go with the first option. Post the character up and email to the judges simultaneously.

This is probably me; I will explain why I did it. (For those interested read the first few posts of Daylight Robbery.) The player in question was using an ability I knew would be very useful in the upcoming scenario. I was concerned he had misinterpreted just how powerful the ability was. Yes...

If Trip is limited then Air Control is limited to the PL (10). It is perception so no trade offs are allowed.

I think air control should not be PL limited as it provokes an opposed roll (Str or Dex) not a save. (Similar to a grapple check.) However ... I think the explosion extra would allow air control to trip many targets simultaneously. From UP it is probably a targeted explosion meaning it will...

To me that list demonstrates another reason why "Only D&D PHB Spells of 4th level or lower" is not a good limit. I don't have the book, I don't intend to get it. However I would absolutly need it to GM for a character that had that limit. (Either that or a complete list of all the availavble...

I'm here. GMing Daylight robbery (poorly) PL10 Character Mr Jones is approved at 150pp.

I think the problem is when the action is sold down, so it takes 1 round or more to change between forms. In which case it is perfectly understandable to want alternate powers within the powers bought. It might take a full minute to change from Bear Form to Monkey Form but it should only be a...

I would. (Consider that this proposal would make arrays within shapeshift illegal) That is also my main concern with it. That it would make thematic arrays within alternate forms illegal. So Bear Form can not have: Bear Hug - Stun; AP Slashing Claws - Penetrating Strike, if there is another...

Which passes the proposal. Although I am not altogether sure what to do with it now as it effects approved characters. I guess it should go in the Character creation thread.

Why I think this is pure shaving is based on how I see such characters as being built. I am going to build a character he speaks with elemental spirits, I decide that Air, Water, Earth and Fire are likely candidates so I build 4aps; one for each spirit. Now to fit neatly in an array they all...

I am not sure I approve of out right banning stuff either, I am far from certain either of these proposals will pass. In a case like Mecha's where the devices only exists when she is in the appropriate form it might make sense to say she can not change form when she does not have it in hand...

More questions: Is there any limit on the number of times you can take this feat? Is it limited by powerlevel, so you can only increase the Knockback on a low dammage effect upto the PL?

I looked this up in UP last night but still have some questions: Knockback only applies on Dammage effects if the result is stun or worse. How does that translate to non-dammage effects. (eg Aditory Dazzle) does the Knockback come in if the reflex save is failed, or is it only if the save is...

To me this is worse than the large alternate arrays. It is pure point shaving and should be: -Speak to North Wind: *Air Spirit Stuff *Blast (Icey Wind) -Speak to South Wind: *Air Spirit Stuff *Air Control -Speak to Fire Spirit: *Etc

eg See Mecha Musume: There are 4 alternate forms, Tank, Sub, Shuttle, Fighter. The Tank Form contains an array, Hand Cannon. I think the other forms contain arrays as well. So it is an Array of Containers and the Containers then contain Arrays.

Another contentious issue concerning arrays which I think should be formalised. Proposal: Individual slots within an Array may not be given the Device flaw. This appears to be legal according to RAW but it is very unclear what happens when a device which is also an AP is removed from a...
