[QUOTE="Jon_Dahl, post: 5411116, member: 89822"] What can I say, in my game, Magic is special. And you can always dodge a magic attack or withstand them mentally or physically (like in D&D), depending on the attack. To the grievance and blessing of sorcerers, there is also an additional way to thwart magical attacks. In case your dodge or unmagical defenses fail, there's always the Magic Resistance. If Forge (rusty shaman with limited magic) casts a spell against Dr. Strange (sorcerer supreme), he doesn't have to do anything defend himself. His Magic Resistance is so superior, that no dodging or withstanding is necessary. He walks over the spell. If it would be Spiderman, he would have to rely on his other defenses which aren't so automatically successful. But Spidey is a hero, he wouldn't be embarassed or killed in a silly way. And now some information about the campaign like I promised: The game will start in October 2010, in Abu Dhabi. The crown prince of Abu Dhabi wants to create his own superhero team, and is willing to burn quite a sum of money for achieve that. From different corners of the world (and universe?) he has assembled a team of four (or three or five?) heroes. This team will work for him for three weeks, and after this the contract needs to be re-negotiated. Those heroes with noble heart are lured in by the fact that the prince will personally donate one million $ to charity by the end of 3-week contract. The ones with mercenary attitude are lured by $400k paycheck. All characters receive authority (and a badge of course!) of special agents of the United Arab Emirates, with a license to kill (quickly or slowly). The prince will equip all heroes with ultramodern kevlar-thights (see the first pic in OP) and give them some gear that all are within the genre. Characters will also receive an advisor who will provide the heroes what they ask. The first mission is to investigate why a team of Indian inspectors have disappeared in the almost-finished Al Hekma Tower of Dubai, a skyscraper 61 floors... [/QUOTE]
