Mutants and Masterminds (Editors Thread & OOC)

Mine too. (One of the few I like). It's very high-level D&D.

First series of Slayers wasn't bad. I prefer Lodoss War and Takahashi's stuff myself.

Attitude makes a difference, even in a slow-paced, remotely played RPG, such as this one. However, if your PC lacks confidence, then playing a lack of confidence is good rping.

Dangit, I'm soo unlucky, Reflex was my best save

Oh well, go team, yeah...

You can spend a Hero Point enxt round to get a recovery check if you like Though you will still be fatigued, and dazed

oh and I love Lodoss Wars, Ashrem is the man, my favorite character in that series, followed closely by Parn, he was so pathetic you had to like him

My last post was under the following assumptions:

• Her spellcasting is a 'mental power'. Anika wills the effects into being, regardless of the true source, or so I assume.
• Her True Sight and See Invisible feats are 'physical powers'. It's actually her eyes that allow her to see through these things, not her mind. This is somewhat against the grain, but an interesting quirk, I think.

Make sense?

makes sense

Ok, can someone explain the reasoning of having everything labeled as half actions, and just having some half actions that can be performed once a urn, amd some left ambiguos as to whether they are once or twice a turn?

I think that as long as a power isn't an attack effect, you can use it twice in one round, right?

 

[Tokiwong]

that is correct you can only make one attack action

 

[Shalimar]

right, but it doesn't clearly label what is an attack action, and what isn't. It lists all of them as Half actions. Is Obscure an attack action, it has no target there is no attack roll. do you see what I mean about being a tad confused?

 

[Tokiwong]

it isn't an attack then, Obscure is just a half action

I like the epic, high fantasy feel of RotLW, where kingdoms are at stake, but Parn was such a loser (and the only real character other than Ashrem that ever developed). Ashrem was the man though. I actually used a lot of neat scenes in that series as inspiration for my AU game Against the Giants.

If Anika's spells are purely mental, why use Gestures and Incantations? Is it a mental block she has that prevents her from using her Elite powers otherwise?

 

[Tokiwong]

ooooh inspiration from Lodoss Wars now I may have to read the Against the Giants story
