Project Daedalus OOC thread

[Calinon]

On a totally unrelated note...

I was out today with my mom, doing some grocery shopping and craft shopping for her (free food, I'll craft shop for hours for that). We decided to go out for lunch. Moxies was full, Perkin's full, the Lodge was full the Travellodge was full (by full I mean at least 4 groups of people waiting for tables). So we went to Montana's. They had a Sunday brunch smorg and oh my god was it good! It was $13.99 a person, but had eggs, bacon, pancakes, breakfast and farmers sausages, macaroni casorole, chicken legs and breasts, roasted beef, and baked ham, along with two soups (homemade no less!), salads and deserts. It was incredibly good, and they even have a full time waiter at the smorg to help you.

I give it a 5 star rating! It was worth the high price for a treat.

I finally have an answer for you. Yes you can, you still have to "hit" with a ranged attack, but the Will save is always made, even by a normally friendly target, but the effective Wis modifer on the save is -5.

Good to know, I will keep it in mind

And Aaron is being a tad harsh, isn't he? Will he treat Sarah the same way if she speaks to her telepathically, or Jaya with her boost, which are both more invasive than Mimic's mimic ability? Not to mention, it's Mimic's only power. I'm sure you might find it frustrating if everyone got mad at Aaron every time he changed his form...not to say some friction is a bad thing, I'm just not sure I understand this...

I could understand resisting if we were sitting around and I was doing it for laughs, but in the middle of a fight?

Eh, it's Aaron's character to play as he sees fit.

 

[Elementor]

Its pretty simple actually. Aaron is a 14 year old kid who has been picked on and shunned in his school life, has a rough home environment and now gets to enjoy the pressures of being an elite and an accused terrorist no less. As we have seen many a time, many kids his age take shotguns to school for far less. Stealing his identity is just too much for a kid his age to handle on top of it.

He has asked you not to do it, which you have ignored and now you have forcably tried to steal his powers. Mimic and Elementors relationship is now very close to that of Boromir and Frodo. The former tries to steal from the latter. Makes the latter very distant and cold to the former.

Okay, that's fair. But is he going to react the same to Sarah and Jaya, who can mess with his powers and head? He's really going to be an angry, paranoid young man...

If Sarah tried to take his memories or something then yeah she would be resisted. Also, Jaya is a doctor that just rescued us and Sarah is a police officer. Mimic is a crook. Aaron is far more likely to trust an authority figure than someone that reminds him of the school bully. Aaron has seen Mimic take over a police officer's entire identity and then leave the officer as nothing (captured in the back of his own car). Sorry don't trust a crook with my identity even if he is, supposedly, on my side. This could definately change with time but if you try to see it from Aaron's point of view (especially if his history ever gets posted) it is pretty easy to see why he resists Mimic currently.

I'm not planning anything, all I said is that a cross over would be cool. I can see it now a group of legacy students are sent to stop a bunch of elite "villians". Of course we would win, they might even put up a good fight Fortunately I am just a player and wouldn't have to worry about all the problems that might occur.

You would win? I don't think so pal! We outnumber you and outgun you! The former prisoners would be toast.

This is a really cool game. I like the character interaction here.

Hey, I play in one and GM the other...conflict of interest, here.

Thanks, HH, looking forward to your game.

First of all your character doesn't know that Mimic was a crook and you only have a few vague references that Sarah is a cop.

Second there is no difference between Miguel mimicing your powers and Sarah reading your mind, they both copy something of yours. Heck considering she altering your thougts by projecting hers into your mind is above and beyond just coping of your powers.

Thirdly, Miguel took over the policeman's identity on Sarah's say so, she told him to do it and told him what to say, so by your thinking your character should distrust Sarah more then Miguel.

Fourthly even though Jaya eventually let us go, she preformed countless experiments on each of the characters, without permission for what could have been months, that would rate pretty high on the bully-meter

No way we would kick your butts... That is if we survive this encounter that is

Did I lose Sam's powers when I tried to mimic Aaron's powers?

Project: Daedalus PCs
Cheetah
Elementor
Mimic
Minotaur
Sarah
Shimmering Samurai
Tyroc

vs. Generation Legacy PCs
Ryan
Anika
Ruby
Charlotte
John
James
Mark
Kelly
Cassandra

It's nine versus seven. Furthermore, Mark, Ryan, John, and James are all approaching PL 9. Cassandra and Anika also have experience points.

Furthermore, you'd be facing me, the Comet. First round I would use Heroic Surge, Boost, Extra Effort (Area) on Energy Blast to blast you guys twice with area attacks. And Mimic couldn't hit me, because Cosmic Power is 8pp, and his limit is 7pp. If any of the team gets hurt, I can just Heal +8 them back to normal.

I think there should be some crossover here, so Legacy can beat these goons down.

(This is all in good fun, of course. )

No. You sustain it until you actually change or can't sustain it anymore.
