Excerpt: Paragon paths (merged)

Wow, what a massive derailing.

Small aside: パン　(pan) comes from Portuguese, not German.

I'm actually interested in what WotC_巫女　stated about a 'multiclass feat'. It was a bit unclear. Did she multiclass to be allowed to take the Feat, or did she mean a Training Feat, or what, exactly?

Archer for the win!

*Runs and hides*

Archer is possibly the coolest captain ever. Gotta love a Star Trek series where they can't just rely on miracle-level technology to get them out of a jam.

As much as I like Gundams and Valkyries they're real robots, which means it's going to be very difficult to do the 4000 damage necessary to bypass an AT Field.

Now, if we're talking about SUPERS like Mazinger or SR-X...

Tenjou Tenga Nendoh Bakusai Ken! Tenjou Tenga Ichigeki Hissatsu Hou! Err... Sorry... I just needed to do that. (Note: Those translate as Heaven and Earth Telekinetic Explosion Slash and Heaven and Earth One Shot Sure Kill, I think.)

Banpresto Original mechs are the best. Where else would find a group of three real robots, two of which are piloted by people with immense psychic power, that combine into a giant robot controlled by a guy who can say lines like "My reflexes have been honed by years of video games!" while dodging attacks and still take himself seriously?

We are really off topic now.

Star Trek captain, I agree. But for absolute bad-ass TV sci-fi captain, I gotta go with my man Malcolm Reynolds.

They really need to give us more crunch to debate in these previews...

 

[Storm-Bringer]

Okay then... Who would win:

Predator-Pirate-Piloting a Gundam vs. Alien-Ninja-Piloting a Evangelion vs. Borg-Viking-Piloting a Valkyrie

The hell?

No one read Dynamo Joe?

Should i ever start with the wackyness of G Gundam? although the SRX-Banpreios is a good competitor

I own 3/4 of the DVDs for that series, actually.

Honestly, though, nothing made in the last few decades can compare to the wackiness of stuff like Mazinger Z... Not even the Fairlions' Royal Heartbreaker can compare to the pure 70's old-school wackiness inherent to every last mech in Mazinger Z. That said, I vastly prefer the way Super Robot Wars and G Gundam have fun with the wackiness, compared to the way they try to take it seriously in the old Super Robot shows.

At this point, I have absolutely no idea on how to try to make this post relevant to Paragon Paths...

See, if you hadn't included the word "TV" in there, I would've went all Han Solo on you.

"He DID shoot first!"

Now would be a good time to bring up Gurren Lagann but the arguments about the scale in that series haven't quelled yet and don't really need to be gotten into here.

Oh, right, paragon paths.. um. Maybe when 4e modern comes out

I'm torn between Archer and Sisko (he was captain of the Defiant, the coolest Federation ship ever, dagnabit!) for Star Trek captain. For TV sci-fi captain, Mal is probably my choice, too. But I have a soft spot for Dylan Hunt, with all his attendant cheese.

(Stargate has no starship captains, so sadly it doesn't count in this discussion.)
