153 xp = 153 PP total

(This is at least how I understood him)

 

[Jemal]

aye, tis what I meant. I just read them as XP, easier for me to keep everything straight. Points are points.

 

[Thanee]

Yeah, that is how I read it, too... I was just confused initially.

I think of XP as extra PP after generation.

I don't think I'll have any more trouble with 3e than 2e, so don't hold up conversion on my account. Are your house rule changes the same in the new edition, as well, WD?

 

[Walking Dad]

Actually, I think I will try 3e without any houserules.

 

[Jemal]

question from IC thread - Is there anything around like an electrical/fuse box or something Siren could trick the beast into hitting that would be hazardous to it?

 

[Walking Dad]

Roll a perception or relevant expertise check and I will tell you

 

[Jemal]

Notice check added to my previous post. Not a clue what kind of expertise would be applicable, but it doesn't matter as she doesn't have any.

My reading on Combined attack is that the "within 5" refers to the save DCs for the attacks involved which hit, not the attack rolls themselves. The example from the book (quoted below, emphasis mine) would seem to support that reading, though I may have an old printing:

Example: Captain Thunder, Lady Liberty, Daedalus, and Johnny Rocket are fighting Mastermind, whose defenses are too powerful for any one of the heroes to overcome. So they decide to combine their attacks against him. They delay until Daedalus’ action (the slowest initiative total among them), then each hero makes an attack roll against Mastermind’s Defense. They all hit, so the GM looks over their damage bonuses: +13 (Captain Thunder), +11 (Daedalus), +10 (Lady Liberty), and +2 (Johnny Rocket). Johnny’s damage bonus is too low to combine with the others, so it is ignored. Daedalus’ and Lady Liberty’s bonuses are within 5 points of Captain Thunder’s, so they each add +2 to his total. Masterminds makes a Toughness save against a combined damage bonus of +17 (13 + 2 + 2)

I agree with Jkason
