EPIC M&M (OOC Thread)

[Calinon]

Carl should get a negative to his Intimidate for having been beaten up badly by a gangly little Chinese girl...

Well, he didn't want to hurt her heh. And she is remarkably cute and bubbly, gangly or not. Other than the frying pan, it probably wasn't all bad.

 

[Calinon]

I have no Hero Point benchmarks for X12, so unless you state it in a post, he gets no re-rolls during combat. Not that it will matter much as you can't actually hurt Carl.

Damage Rolls: Total of 15 or less.
Saves: Total of 10 or less.
Attacks: Total of 10 or less.

Not really important that I can't actually hurt him... I'm obviously not thinking clearly if I picked a fight with the giant in the first place...

OOC: Case closed, damn Loki's good. (Let me guess, it's not that simple...)

Actually it probably is that simple. We are dealing with a Mole here. And I recall a certain illusionary road that was meant to cover a getaway I wasnt present at.

 

[Velmont]

I was wondering. As I've trained to mimic everyone powers, who can I mimic without backlash? And who I need a HP to have no backlash? And who I just can't mimic at all... Or do I ask the question each time I want to mimic an EPIC?

 

[Calinon]

A bit rushed at work, so here's a quick synopsis from memory.

You can't spend a hero point to negate backlash. You can spend it to re-roll saving throws on backlash though.

As for EPIC members, this might be a bit off as I'm not at home with my sheets. Things may change as well as adventures roll onward.

Amazon
No backlash. Might kill Kevin if he tries to mimic the mental link between her and Dara.

Loki
Backlash on skills if Kevin uses all attributes extra. Also backlash if he tries to mimic his sleight of hand. (DC 16)

Metal Mistress
Cannot mimic magnetic control (DC 19 AND DC 17)

Johan
Backlash on skills if Kevin uses all attributes extra. Also backlash if he tries to mimic computers and search. (DC 16)

Neutron
Cannot mimic transmutation (DC 20)

Speed Demon
Cannot mimic super speed (DC 17). Cannot mimic all feats as there are too many. He has 10 feats Kevin could mimic. (DC 19)

Straightjacket
Cannot mimic growth (DC 16). Backlash on skills if Kevin uses all attributes extra. Also backlash if he tries to mimic his escape artist (DC 17)

X12
Cannot mimic super-con. Backlash if Kevin attempts to use all attributes extra. (DC 17). Cannot mimic durability feat (no backlash, tied to super-con)

Anna
Can't mimic battlesuit or related feats, but no backlash on skills. Never really tried to mimic her powers.

Carl
Can't mimic vibration control (DC 16)

Cosmo
Has thusfar refused to allow Kevin to mimic him again, claiming it is too dangerous.

Dara
No backlash. Will probably kill Kevin if he attempts to mimic the mental link between her and Raisa.

Jackal
No clue. No opportunity.

Monica
Can't mimic her cat form (DC 17). Electrical, super senses and amazing saves you can. Using all attributes when Kevin mimics her powers makes him suffer backlash (DC 17)

Rebound
No backlash

Tara
Cannot mimic her own insectoid abilities (DC 22 AND DC 17). Can mimic insect control (no backlash)

Senior Epic Members
Kevin has been outright warned to never mimic a senior member without their express permission and supervision. As an example why: If you mimic Sanchez's skills, you would suffer backlash 8 times (3 at 17, 2 at 19 and 3 at 22). Most have been unwilling to let Kevin mimic them, due to the danger to him, and the fact he has demonstrated that he is gloriously unstable mentally and putting their powers in his hands is not safe.

You can't spend a hero point to negate backlash. You can spend it to re-roll saving throws on backlash though.

Ok, when I was talking of HP, I shoudl have written Extra effort, to increase power (by 2) or to gain an extra (expended powers). Except that, thanks.

 

[Calinon]

Stuff listed at DC 16 will allow you to mimic the power/skill without backlash using extra effort to increase your extra capacity. In the case of two dc's being listed, the first is for PP cost, the second for PL cost. So basically, Carl's vibration control and Straighjacket's growth are all that will gain you.

 

[Calinon]

Since we've had no action in China from Raisa in a few days, I'll NPC her for now and move things ahead. Same for Vince in Arizona, so we can get on to more important factoids.

I'll wait for Michelle to decide on any actions she might want to take at Methesda, now that Stephanie has responded to her and I've better described the security and room you are in and Sanjay has fallen asleep

 

[Deva]

Sorry about the not posting in a while. Nasty headaches the last few days have made my brain mush. Brain still kinda squishy, but will try to pay more attention.
