Re: Jab's Power Profiles: Snare! Nullify! Weaken!

Catching back up- has anyone had luck in building an effect that adds flaws and disads to an existing power? The classic example would be to make a power go out of control or otherwise become a liablity. Thanks! There is a decent argument for building that as a kind of Affliction. Compelled/Control...

Re: How far does a sense that is made to be Ranged reach?

One way to look at it is that it goes until it's interrupted. Human vision lets you routinely spot something obvious such as a lit candle in utter darkness at a range of about 2 miles. However, obstructions, or even light pollution, greatly reduces that ability to spot it. Same for any other ranged ...

Re: Jab's Power Profiles: Snare! Nullify! Weaken!

so yeah harry can tosse a fireaball without his blasting rod no sweat its just a lot easier to do and less draining to use the rod or staff Which could of course be either built mechanically, like Catalyst and her Control Rod that removes Tiring from her Blast, or as a Complication for when it come...

{nods} Or playing up that all magic has Complications/Flaws/Quirks to model that, e.g. all magic is contract based, involves swapping favors, or taps into some central resource that will be disrupted with overuse, with Power Stunts being much more likely to trigger it since it's not something they t...

Re: Weaken

WEAKEN: [/size] ... Fixing It?: [/u] I think I would make Affects Objects only a Feat for 1 point instead of so pricey. And probably reduce the recovery time, maybe making victims make a check each turn to see if they get the 1-point back. Ooh, I like that. Maybe recover 1p per degree of success of...

Re: Jab's Power Profiles: Affliction! Suffocation! Snare!

It's worth mentioning that, in the case of wanting to target Effects instead of people, the counter action will do the trick 90% of the time, so long as you have an appropriate descriptor.

Re: Jab’s Builds! (Battle Arena Toshinden 3-4!)

As a side note on the Battle Arena Toshinden version for Game Boy, that and the Samurai Shodown adaptation on the same system where excellent examples of how to adapt to the medium. Obviously, it turned into a 2D game. But, they also turned it into a super deformed art style, since larger sprites re...

Re: Jab's Power Profiles: Affliction! Suffocation! Snare!

Snare was definitely one of the bigger casualties of their "Let's stuff everything into the Affliction box". Like how do cut the bolos off of a teammate? Can you do it on your own turn instead of waiting for the end of it for the automatic save? Personally, I've handled both of those with ...

Wait, what? Fortitude Saves are usually higher than Toughness saves?
Truthfully, I do often see it. Players tend to trade off toward Fortitude over Will, and without a defense/Toughness tradeoff...

Scuttlebutt is that the film got heavily chopped up, in part due to the films getting scrambled around due to COVID.

Re: Failed rolls

FWIW, 2E had this issue with the first degree of failure, where failure by 1-4 was a Bruised or Injured, and 5-10 was stunned. Fortunately, that was one of the few things 3E fixed.

Re: Jab's Power Profiles: Element Control! Move Object! Affliction!

The other major drawback of Affliction versus Damage is that it goes away without any action, not helped by those lower DCs. So even if your target rolls low, and gets hit with the second degree of the affliction, there's a decent chance they'll throw it off entirely the next round. But requiring an...

Re: Jab's Power Profiles: Damage! Blast! Area & Auras!

A lot of these "already exists" Powers were set in a different color to indicate that they are just an example of how you can take the basic power and build something else. I suspect a number of them are also legacy items from the prior editions, so that when somebody is converting their s...

Re: The Neophyte Freedom City Experience - Part Deux - Recruiting again

I'm on one of my lack of focus spirals where I just can't sit down and post, compounded by a new project at work, and a training course that is taking up remaining evening hours. Sorry.

So, TL;DR, I am going to wind up shutting down the game because I don't know when I'll get back to it.
