Simple enough question, though I cannot see if it's been asked before so apologies for repeating it if it's been already beaten beyond death. Why'd the lamia get changed from a Wisdom-draining tauric lion-woman to a swarm of bugs that devour eladrins from the inside out & wear their skins as...

Wounds inflicted by the Clay Golem in assorted versions of D&D don't heal naturally & resist curative magic. And the Clay Golem in the M&M book has Incurable for its damage. Where did this idea come from? I don't recall hearing of it in the legends of the Golem of Prague, though I do know...

I've made mention of this power (from Ultimate Power) many times, and it's high time I've actually made an official proposal.

According to the Core Rulebook, Arrays (powers with alternate powers) cannot have Permanent powers in them, since a Permanent power is by definition one that cannot be turned off. Same goes for Variable structures, like Adaptation or Shapeshift. However, Alternate Form -- a Container, or group...

Moved to a different thread to prevent thread drift. "Only D&D Magic" isn't a Limit, though, it'd be more along the lines of a Descriptor. Even foregoing the obvious "Wish is a D&D magic spell," D&D's got spells inspired by hundreds of different sources, and I'd say there's a 99.99% chance...

From Ultimate Power: This differs from the Core M&M 2E book, in that M&M 2E states a "fatigued" device suffers a -1 modifier to all ranks, and an "exhausted" device suffers a -3 penalty to all ranks. (Since many powers cost 2pp/rank, this works out to be roughly the same.) M&M 2E also states...

From Ultimate Power: Not many cases where I'd see this working, but there could be some. Two that pop to my mind are a D&D-style Energy Drain/Negative Levels, or certain powers built as "Super-Skills" (like Mind Reading done as uber-Sense Motive face-reading, or Mind Control as uber-Bluff...

As with Device, Gadgets gives you 5 power points per rank to create these items, and you can split your points among multiple Devices, if desired. Changing your Gadget points around is a standard action and lasts until you choose to change them again. The cost of Gadgets depends on how easily...

Per the errata of the M&M 2E rules, the “No rank or bonus of the assumed form can be higher than your Shapeshift rank” bit has been removed. Is this errata to be used here? If so, would it also apply to other Variable-style powers, such as Adaptation, Animal Mimicry, Gadgets (from Ultimate...

In the Mastermind's Manual, it introduced several "Skill Challenges." Challenges reflect a capable character’s ability to perform some tasks with superior panache and efficiency. They allow heroes to achieve greater results by making already difficult checks harder. To take a Challenge, you...

(Only four sentences, which I believe does fall just within Green Ronin's copyright guideline for "copy this much and no more and we'll be okay.") I was planning on taking this power feat for my proposed character's (Dr. Archeville) energy blaster, so it could be an ultra-tech blaster capable...

Don't know if anyone here's noticed, but the Atomic Think Tank -- Green Ronin's Official M&M messageboard -- is down. It's aparently been hacked, because when I go to the ATT site, I see the following: The Fan Art section of the ATT site is down, too.

What's the difference between Craft (Cooking) and Profession (Chef)? What's the difference between Perform (Comedy) and Profession (Comedian)?

Could some kind soul tell me where I might find stats for a velociraptor or velociraptor-like dinosaur? I've looked in the Monster Manual, Fiend Folio, Monster Manual II, and Dragon #318 (the "Dungeons & Dinosaurs" article), but I've found nada, but I'm fairly certain I've seen printed stats...

A friend of mine was telling me the other night about a game he's been running for a while, one where the party had just gotten stuck on Avernus (a Layer o' Hell). He told me of how the psion in the party had tried to read the mind of a fiend, and became confused. I asked if that was a...

I've looked and didn't see any threads about the new eps of Teen Titans or Justice League Unlimited that are to be aired (startign Saturday, July 31st), so here we go: TEEN TITANS (eps air at 8:00pm EST) Saturday July 31: "Betrayal" Terra is revealed to be a pawn of Slade. Saturday Aug 7...

Officially announced today. Looks like Spielberg really did use his personal relationship with Hasbro's head honcho to bring the movie to DreamWorks. I can't help but wonder if this'll delay the X-Men flicks any (since Tom DeSanto wrote the first two & is writing the 3rd one). Oh, and...

I love anniversaries, especially ones where someone gives ME something for free. Next Tuesday is the 26th anniversary of Ben & Jerry's "Free Cone Day." Just head to any Ben & Jerry's ice cream shop around the world on Tuesday, April 27th, between the hours of noon and 8:00 PM and pick up your...

I just heard that this was due out in June (or July). Anyone know anything about it? It's been many, many months since I've even looked at an Aberrant book, but from what I recall, even a starting level Aberrant character was a good deal more powerful than a starting Mutants & Masterminds...
