Re: The cranky thread My pretty kitty, Nefertiti went to the vet today. Whined and mewled the whole time, scared out of her wits. Had to suffer a 'thermometer goes WHERE?' moment as well, but hopefully she'll be feeling better soon.

Re: "He's bulletproof", "Fireproof", etc. I know this idea ticks off at least one forumgoer, but ... If you're running a 'high super' JLA/Avengers style game where mundane sources of damage, be it fire or bullets, simply shouldn't be able to hurt a superhuman, give all mundane sources of damage the limitation 'not vs superheroes', thusly enabling Superman's invulnerability, Cap's shield, and Batman's dodging to thwart a bunch of punk bankrobbers with ease.

Re: 6E: Astral Blast Does it attack the mind or the body? That should determine Mental Blast vs. RKA.

Re: Power sources in the universe that the PCs can't have Thanks for the insights. I'm probably making a mountain out of a molehill, but I simply have zero confidence in my abilities as a game-runner these days and question everything I even think about doing to the point where it withers and dies.

I had an idea for a game recently (though I suspect it won't be any more successful than anything else I've tried of late, but I digress) that I think I would best describe as the 2k3 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles animated series crossed with a little Street Fighter and Xiaolin Showdown. However, to get the feel right, I'd have to be extremely limiting on PC options. I could see allowing one human PC (to be 'The April' or 'The Casey', as it were), and perhaps letting one PC having psionics or mystical powers. Of course, everybody has some kind of martial arts and probably some weapons and miscellaneous gadgets like smoke bombs or whatever. But there were regular superheroes around, and super-high-tech, and aliens, and all kinds of mystical stuff (especially in the lost episodes that aired on CW4Kids). Given that, I'd probably set the game in a somewhat stripped-down version of the Champs U ... take out the huge heavy guns like Dr. Destroyer, focus more on agencies like VIPER and DEMON, reduce the overall super-population both heroes and villains worldwide. Somehow, though, it seems unfair for me to have the PCs have to be restricted to animal powers, martial arts, and weapons with possibly one low-powered mystic or psychic, while there's all this other stuff flying around. Though some of it could be picked up along the way with XP ("I'm gonna spend the points to start hiking around with this laser rifle I swiped off a VIPER agent, cool?"). Am I merely being anal-retentive, am I seeing a problem that isn't there, or is this a legitimate concern? P.S. I know that if the players all accept the limitations without reservation then there's not a real problem, but, assuming this does qualify as unfair, I'm not the sort to treat my players unfairly even if they're willing to accept it.

Re: What if: Ironman vs. Bruce Lee This wouldn't even be a fight. Bruce wouldn't be able to even hurt Iron Man. Tony could stand there punching and kicking until all he had left was four bloody stumps, and Tony would punch him or blast him and it'd all be over.

Re: OMCV Whats it good for (besides Mental Powers) Practicing Willpower/Mental DCV: "I'm going to continue doing this painful thing for 2 minutes, then 2 and a half, then three ..." or any other mind-over-matter willpower-practicing exercise you can think of. Practicing Mental OCV: "I'm going to think at that beer can really hard." I'm not imagining that going very far. In any event, I don't agree with decoupling CVs from statistics, so for my games at least, it's moot.

Re: Animate Flame 1 pip (or more) RKA, Continuous, Mobile, AE Hex, requires a flame to be in the initial hex should do it, just grabbing off the top of my head. I'm sure someone will refine the idea in a few minutes.
