[QUOTE="Ebony, post: 3636085, member: 51932"] I'm very impressed with everyone's efforts, and I will make my own effort soon, but I would like to throw an idea out there that would really explain a lot. I saw the movie tonight and noticed a hint. The gashes in John McClane's head weren't bleeding. I know, I know, you're gonna say that they got dirt in them of he's a quick coagulator or something, but I'm looking at this guy and thinking, "Headwounds normally bleed a lot." Like, he should have had blood all over his head. The only people who get a headwound like that are.... dead already. So here's my idea: Holly Gennaro is a necromancer. Now I know this sounds far fetched, but hear me out. John McClane was a New York Cop who got shot in the line of duty, and stumbled home to the arms of his wife knowing he was going to die. He told her he loved her and expired soon thereafter. She, being a necromancer (and having two little kids), raised him from the dead and sent him back to work so the paychecks would keep coming in. Now, once she got her legs under her and got a decent job, she didn't need the meal ticket anymore, so she bugged out, changing her name in hopes he couldn't find her. John, now a zombie (the fast kind, not the lumbering hulk kind) comes out to CA to find her. Thus begins Die Hard. Otherwise we have to toss in all of these extreme luck feats, and that just means higher and higher levels. "nobodez" even used "Plus" feats. What is he? A cyborg? A supersoldier? No. He's a zombie. And him being a zombie makes statting him out so much easier. [/QUOTE]
