EPIC M&M (OOC Thread)

[Mordane76]

I have to agree... Improved Initiative is starting to sound really good here as well...

 

[Dalamar]

Well, at least my initiative isn't the worst this time around. I'm improving!

 

[Dalamar]

Hero point used to counter fatigue for extra effort of "Horde" extra leaving no hero points left for other rolls this round.

Actually, that's extra effort to raise the power level by +2. If you look at Horde, it says: "The extra has no affect on how many duplicates you can create in one action". I then reduced my effective bonus by 6, to create 7 duplicates (I seem to have miscalculated earlier, that's a total of 8 of Johan) with an effective rank of +4.
Edit: Oh, and: "Your duplications have no Hero Points of their own, but can use your Hero Points for their actions". So they can spend my HPs, so technically I'm not spending HPs for them. So, as I understand it, my HP pool can be depleted of more than one HP in a given round. Of course, that's just my interpretation.

(that's a total of 8 of Johan)

I've been trying to get over this since I read it... All I can think of is a Marx Brothers movie with lots of circus movement-sort-of-things going on...

Leader: "Oh, I'll get you!"
Johan: "No you won't! Get'em, Me's!"

insert chorus of "Mine" noises (like the seagulls in Finding Nemo) from copies as they gank the Leader...

 

[Dalamar]

Just wait till Johan puts that big brain of his to assume some basic knowledge on combat tactics and practise.

Or when his mind control starts to expand from only affecting his duplicates to everybody.
"Go home."
"Yes, masters..." (After 9 Will saves in the same round)

Ok, well in the future, state your powers like Agamon does to avoid confusion. I didn't know what extra effort you were trying to accomplish and had to take the best guess and let you use horde in a different way to try to accomodate you. One duplicate banged his head and died when he was tripped back after his failed attempt (Mb4) and another (Mb6) simply vanishes. Now you have 7 duplicates.

As for hero points, you and your duplicates still count as one character. But even if this were not the case, you are only able to use one hero point per round, even if you are spending them for someone else. This applies to hero and villain points of course, and to everyone, regardless of feats or abilities that let you spend hero points for someone else in any way shape or form.

OOC: When my Initiative comes up, I can issue my change of orders to the Med-Bot and dive for the case, correct?

Yuppers.

 

[Mordane76]

Yuppers.

Cool... I figured that would be okay in the action scheme, but I wanted to make sure.

 

[Dalamar]

I'll remember to be more specific from now on, just didn't remember that extra effort could be used to gain extras, first actual game with the rules and all...

 

[Calinon]

Yes I will reroll my Damage save I rolled a freakin 1.

Actually, until your turn and the removal of the bracelet, you have no powers. You actually rolled a 9. Reflex save is affected by super-speed. Still, you definitely want to re-roll this Oh, and once your turn hits, you are going to jump up in the initiative order thanks to your super-speediness.
