The new erratta has no free extra for force fields. Not a big deal really. I do like my "affect others by touch" extra though, would be a shame to be rid of it, but I can always use a hero point to acquire it for a while.

In some cases, the new errata doesn't include important elements of the old errata. For example, the skill synergy between Disable Device and Demolitions was removed. Energy Control was mostly changed back to the original text; in many cases, EC is acting as an attack effect rather than control effect. Is the new errata replacing or working with the old errata? After all, FF + extra at a cost of 2/rank instead of 1 makes plenty of sense.

Also, I find the new errata highly suspect in many ways. With all the permanent stats and powers, Neutralize and similar powers are pretty useless. Deflection wasn't exactly a strong defensive power in the first place, now it takes a 1/2 action. I've seen several other people with similar complaints.

Yeah, that's why I'm amalgamating the two. Errata doesn't usually change back something that's been changed for the better, pretty strange.

As for Neutralize, I agree, not sure why some of those powers are permanent. I can see a case for them being permanent in many cases (especially super-stats that have the Trained source). And if you take a main power that's permanent and add extra's that aren't, the whole power is unable to be Neutralized. So yeah, those changes duration changes are being ignored.

What happened to late Sunday night? Everything went well, I hope.

Everything went great, rode a subway for the first time it was cool oh I picked the wrong itenerary on Priceline.com, so I had to come back earlier then I thought always measure twice, and cut once

I just picked up PvP: the Dork Ages. I don't know how, but I've gotta find a way to insert Chessmaster, Brunhilde, Silly Putty and The Blue Skull into this game...

I have re-edited my character; major changes include more skill points, the loss of a few feats, and a reduction in ability scores. I think that the idea of non-transforming clothes might be a cool visual (not like that!). As far as sand vs. ice, that would be interesting.

That looks great Hammerhead.

ooooh we have approval perhaps... and soon I can crash the party

 

[Master_Pugs]

Back... and better then ever some may say? Intrigued? Look inside for details!!

This comic needs a slick holofoil cover... or a platinum edition like back in the mid nineties those gimmicks were cool
