EPIC M&M (OOC Thread #2)

[Agamon]

Oh, that's fine. As long as it's a somewhat obvious effect. Glowy energy field around whatever, yadda yadda. It won't be like SJ's dad's or Loco's obvious flaws that scream "HI LOOK AT ME USING MY POWERS MUAHAHAH!" but it should be something. Of course, anyone can get the subtle extra to make it invisible.

Plus energy beams melting heads are cool.

Well, he does usually gesture at the object, but he can glow a deep red for a moment when he uses it, I suppose. I didn't mean I wanted to make it subtle. And he can still melt heads with Energy Blast

OOC: Healing - Res (Extra) with Hero Point.

Soooo... like... what's that mean exactly, 'with Hero Point?' You are spending a hero point no matter what, as a just in case sorta thingy?

 

[Velmont]

Fails (unlucky) ...

Oooo, cheap shot!

Well, I must tell you at least one thing. After a whole year of playing PbPs, you're the first master who killed a player. You have guts... and it is not like Kevin didn't had a chance to be killed before.

Well... the end of Kevin (I mean the original )

Sometimes character deaths are unavoidable. Amazingly, this one wasn't unavoidable, but that flaw was staring me in the face going "USE ME DANGIT!" I did warn about taking flaws at some point...

Anyhoo, it certainly wasn't a sure thing to see Kevin die, but it certainly was a memorable way to go. It was far better than just having him booted out and fading away, and it does lend itself to the introduction of a new character, which should happen this week, once I'm not so tired from working nights.

Yes, I dare say Kevin York will be back.

I was reading the changes to Ressurection -- actually, according to the recent errata, I don't make a check anymore; Kevin does. I actually can't spend a hero point on it, because I don't make the check. All my power does is allow him to make the Con check. If Unlucky caused me to be unable to use the power that round, I could spend an HP to counteract the flaw for the round, but Kevin would have to spend an HP to reroll the check if it were failed. They really took it out of the Healer's hands, unless you have Healing 20, which would assure anyone they could make the check with the bonus you provide on the check.


I don't disagree with how the scene goes, I just realized how much differently the power functions than it used to.

Yeah, he has gone with style. I think it was his best combat he just made, just too sad it was his last.

Yes, I dare say Kevin York will be back.

Yeah, but why does I have the feeling I won't be the one who will control him and making some fun with it?

*looking at Calinon and seeing: *

 

[Calinon]

Oh yes, I added the Con bonus of Kevin, but I prefer to see it that the healer is the one making the check for all healing goodies. I look at it like using the medicine skill to stabilize someone where the person using the skill makes the check. A more fit person will be able to have a limb regrown or their life restored with more ease, but it's still up to the person doing the healing to succeed or fail. Otherwise that part of healing becomes, basically, a loan of the regeneration power.

Anyway, Prophet would have just disabled your powers if the need arose

Soooo... back to it.

"I do not know the source of his accelerated mental and physical capability, but I believe I have pieced together what he is talking about."
Johan engages in a detailed yet surprisingly compact explanation of his theory (found on the previous page just before Johan noticed connection to Vince).

I know what I told you for your hero point of inspiration, but what exactly are you telling everyone? 'Cause evil GM says if he gets to decide, its gonna be wrong . Seriously though, I gave you information, but it's up to you to tell people your theory.

 

[Dalamar]

Hookaayyyy.... *starts writing a speech*

 

[Calinon]

Hey, we all look forward to analytical Johan speeches... you shouldn't try to deprive us
