EPIC M&M (OOC Thread)

I dunno where I got Tarantula from. Spider woman seemed too cheesy a name.

Yeah, and your double has a tres cool name, no?

So when are we getting to the next 'training session'? I need to pick up ranks in at least the new Knowledges (Criminals and Mutants), Repair, and prolly a couple of Sciences (Robotics, Metallurgy and Geology come to mind). So no actual power advancement for me, it seems. Unless, of course, we get a boat load of points.

Edit - And Craft (Electronics) and (Mechanics) wouldn't hurt either, considering what my character has done. And picking up Craft (Weapon systems) for future use might also be a good idea. Dammit! Too many skills.

Points are only awarded at issues end. If you have banked points, you should let me know what you are going to spend them on, since a month of intense training is about to happen, more for a few of you

That's the problem, I don't have any banked points, but considering what Johan's doing, picking up one rank in all of the skills mentioned (or at least the Trained Only ones) would seem like a good thing. So when do we change issues, then?

Oh, and don't forget, individual knowledges are those you are better in. You can still use knowledge untrained, it's just harder to do. To get specifics on mutants will require DC25-30. You get +5 if you are using ARIS, and -5 if you are untrained. I apply the same -5 to checks in untrained knowledges of all kinds.

Johan will need repair, for his armor upkeep.

I'm not sure when Issue 3 will end, but you'll be able to spend points based on what you've done, so training time won't be an issue really.

"Your food was already cooked you know," Cosmo says looking at the smoking ruin of Vince's plate. Apparently the food doesn't have any immunity to high speed friction heat.

"Nasty," Titan says. "Just nasty."

Just want to point out how extremely lame this is. Unlike Nova, I have full control of my powers and would not be incinerating food and stuff. Not to mention a trip from the kitchen to the couch is not exactly like re-entry into the atmosphere or something.

I'd have to agree. Now if the ultra-high speed had blown food everywhere I'd have bought it. Car's going by on the highway kick up a fair amount of wind, and you're moving faster than that.

Hey, if it were you carrying a kid to safety and I had him burst into flame, go ahead and complain. But it's not. It's a plate of food, and you were in a rush to see a football game and not paying attention. So I had something minor happen to you. Oh noz!

If your power was uncontrolled, I'd have you naked every time you used it out of uniform, because your clothes are not designed to withstand your powers. Instead, a minor incident occurred to show Vince he's not in perfect control of his powers that didn't involve becoming naked. Shame on me I guess.

Lesson learned. Much nakedness in the future for Vince. He'll become a real life Hentai pr0n star.
