Superheroes of The Trust OOC Thread (Accepting Alts)

So I've reconsidered the healing matter, and think that I made a mistake to let Wren have full healing with all the bells and whistles, since it's a power i'm a bit wary of. For now I'd like to at least remove Persistent, to at least create the occasional situation where it doesn't always work.

Well it is comic book fiat that having superpowers does not always mean those super powers are 100% reliable. I mean, if they worked all the time, how would those villians exploit the hero's weakness?

Would you prefer that I give some villains a second level of incurable (which doesn't exist by core rules) instead? I plan to use incurable sparingly (I havent used it at all yet), and don't see a point in adding it sometimes to be "not really incurable" so that other times it can be "really, actually incurable."

You could to use GM Fiat to make some wounds not cureable.

How many HP should Star have? She starts with 2 (1 Luck), spent two during the last fight, and gained two (one from Asad breaking Stun - or was it a toughness reroll - and one at the end for nearly dying). Can those bonus HP be defered to show up in other encounters, possibly those more related to how they were obtained?

The nearly dying one, definitely, since that is technically awarded after the encounter. HP like that, or those awarded between fights, or escaping villain HP, definately carry over. For now, the basic reroll kind wont, but if you want to make the case for more rollover, go ahead. However, in this case, so does the Asad one, since it was the equivalent of Fiating him to escape.

And I'm going to still say no persistent. Fiat is for bypassing rules, but I'd rather have a functioning incurable in the rules.

Well. I have no real problems there.

Since we've already established that Hope can make others see her visions through dent of effort and or spell (as long as she as enough time to do so), could we make it a permanent part of her postcog ability? I mean, as long as there is something there to read in any case.

I'm also thinking that while postcogs and pre-cogs are uncommon, having the ability to let others see along with her is very rare indeed. The spell she uses could simply be a focus for her powers and not really a spell at all, so it can't exactly be duplicated.

Dang it. I even checked to make sure the post hadn't completed when I interupted it to add more.

Star is taking a 5 ft step this round. Hardly shooting off impulsively. Unless of course you mean that her action might be motivated more by personal reasons than sound tactics.

However, Cover Fire on a flying, glowing - OBVIOUS - target does have the potential to hit more targets at higher bonuses than a sweeping autofire attack.

Night's question is sound.

Can Vi's illusions "cover" a moving target to make them look and sound different, within the limits of her power?

It was just an off the cuff mental thought from Hope. She thinks that Star is far too impulsive for her own good, a trait common to alot of speedsters.
