WillRhodes Posted April 14, 2003 Report Share Posted April 14, 2003 Originally posted by Gary Since the base str is 0, do all the advantages that you place on it in total cost 1 pt minimum, or does each separate advantage cost 1 pt? Actually, since you're buying STR down from 10 (for a base cost of -10), all these advantages make it MORE negative! So, suppose we buy the woodchuck with the advantages AE (One Hex) +1/2 and Autofire (x10, unusual) +2. Then, the woodchuck's STR cost would be -10*1+(2+1/2) or -35pts! Hmmm... this gives me ideas for "Uglyboy" and "Mondo the Brainless One" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slaughterj Posted April 14, 2003 Report Share Posted April 14, 2003 Originally posted by Gary Nope, 0 Str requires 0 end. Ah, but physical actions take at least 1 END (i.e., blocking, chucking, etc.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tech Posted April 15, 2003 Report Share Posted April 15, 2003 Originally posted by Gary Ah, but is chucking a physical action, or is it merely a state of mind? Definitely a physical action, although I'm sure the simple delight of chucking makes it delightful to woodchucks everywhere. Of course, different woodchucks like different wood, hence different chuckings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobGreenwade Posted April 15, 2003 Report Share Posted April 15, 2003 Two thoughts: 1. Wood chucking probably should be included in the Wood And Plant Powers section of the USPD. 2. Is it just me, or has this entire thread descended very quickly into the realm of the gleefully ridiculous? (Not that there's anything wrong with that....)

Gary Posted April 16, 2003 Report Share Posted April 16, 2003 If a woodchuck had at least 2 skill levels, can he use the 2 skill levels = 1 DC rule to increase the amount of wood he can chuck? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It started ridiculous, and has since descended (or perhaps ascended) into the gleefully ridiculous. It should die down about the time it starts to enter into the realm of the inane.

Marcus Posted April 16, 2003 Report Share Posted April 16, 2003 Similar to the Skill Points question above... Could a very highly trained Woodchuck buy, let us say, Offensive, Defensive, and Martial Chucking, to be used based on the type of wood (Pine, Oak, Treant) encountered? Perhaps 'Chucking' could be generalized into the Woodchuck Martial Art... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Monster Posted April 17, 2003 Report Share Posted April 17, 2003 Shouldn't the ability to chuck wood actually be a Limited version of the more general power to chuck anything? Considering the variety of things that can be chucked (let alone up- chucked:eek: ) just chucking wood should be at least a -1/2, amybe as much as -1. Depending of course on how common wood is in your campaign - some Star Hero campaigns may almost never come across enough wood to bother chucking, so it wouldn't be a Limitation at all. While I'm at it, what about Megascale wood chucking? Imagine chucking an entire forest! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
