It's not supposed to be Supernatural Strength. Bionic Strength is Extraordinary and Robotic Strength is a step up from that, making it Superhuman. I have not seen previous editions of Heroes Unlimited, so maybe it got messed up when they edited the newest version. I realize that you really want it t...

Stone Gargoyle

As the power is written in the books, there is no bonus to damage for having Superhuman Strength other than the standard PS damage bonus. The damage increase was not right according to the way the Robot Strength is categorized, which is as Superhuman Strength. My sharing of Kittenstomp's material wa...

No problem. It's just a shame they deleted all his materials from the forums.

Stone Gargoyle

Superhuman strength doesn't increase damage, at least not according to the book. Kittenstomp had done adjusted damage tables for the strength categories other than Supernatural, but those were from his House Rules. I have a saved copy of the tables, so I will post it here. Damage Tables by Kittensto...

The problem is that Kevin is taking a reaally long time to get books out. He wants to go over everything and nitpick. That takes longer than just reading over manuscripts and approving them as is.

Stone Gargoyle

You could have posed this question in the New Powers thread.. I imagine because at this point it's less ' formatted powers wanting peer review', and more of a more honest 'I've got a notion that may not be entirely workable'. I think both of these ideas are workable. It's just a matter of figuring ...

You could have posed this question in the New Powers thread. Plenty of Cups: What are the cups made of? Are they force field partial spheres? Extensions of your bio-armor? I can think of a dozen variants based on this idea. But then again, there are powers already existing that would allow you to sh...

Is that why there's so many old posts where the first post is clearly missing? I thought I was losing my mind or something when looking over old topics. Yes, that is why. that can't be right. I am still here and many of my posts are deleted all the time. Ironic BECAUSE WEAK ASS WOKE_TARDS LOVE DELE...

Stone Gargoyle

No, because the cybernetics would fall out or be destroyed in the process of shifting. You would need some sort of device or ability that allows you to shift objects and clothing with you into what you are changing into in order to keep the cybernetics. APS powers by default just aren't written that...

Stone Gargoyle

I would assume that is why they would need artificial lungs. They would have the ability to breathe under water naturally and not need them for regular breathing. This is one of those poorly written things because all you would really need is some sort of air accumlation device that puts the air int...

Stone Gargoyle

Telekinesis affects pressure and energy to lift and move objects. It does not attack a person's perception or mind. Therefore you cannot save vs it as you would a psionic attack to the mind. That's my take on it anyway.

Yes, that is why.

I understand the desire to make powers that emulate ones we've seen on TV or in comics, but you have to remember you are supposed to be making something using a set of rules and game mechanics, not writing materials that are meant to ignore or sidestep said mechanics.

Stone Gargoyle

I am simply giving you feedback. If you can't handle criticism then maybe you shouldn't post.

Stone Gargoyle

I was shooting for mystically abilities as that actually gives Super powers. The Energy is Demonic in nature. It's not a big deal the weapon as it can be dropped. As I did here still means the Character is vulnerable to many things. They already have a category that does that that is better. You se...

Stone Gargoyle

Put quite simply, this will never happen. You're asking for a total rewrite of the game mechanics. Kevin likes his system and will never change it as drastically as this. well, I can fantasize to the fantasy of a "Working" game with as few inconsistencies as possible. restate, "I can...

not only do I agree with the side who says "HELL YEAH!" but I feel that the whole of Palladium needs to take ideas of "exponential tiers" for the effects of powers, drawn from classic marvel superheroes, (instead of; normal person, psionic boosted person, method augmented person...

Stone Gargoyle

What about a family of superbeings whose powers all complement each other?

Stone Gargoyle

I could see value in adding a superpower which greatly increases carrying/lifting capacity, but doesn't increase damage. It would help model the sort of superstrength seen in some source material. Perhaps for anything less than Supernatural Strength it would be a minor power, while SN Strength woul...

Stone Gargoyle

I mean, it's a superhero game. It's kind of like asking why you need to be as strong as a fully raging Hulk if you're already as strong as Spider-Man. If their powerset revolves around being the "strongest man alive" you'd kind of expect them to try to be as strong as they could. That's w...

Stone Gargoyle

I guess my question would be why do you need to be that strong? You get to the point where you are crushing things by touching them if your strength is that high. At least that is how I rule it in my games. My house rule is you have to pull punch to prevent crushing damage if you have a huge PS dama...

Stone Gargoyle

I'm sorry, I should have stated it was merely my opinion from the start.

Stone Gargoyle

Sooooo... What you are saying is that your house rules are canon? Since you said what you said is canon AND that what you said is your opinion. So unless you can give a citation of where the canon rule you are using as a basis for you opinion, I can only see your opinion as your house rule, not as ...

Stone Gargoyle

It also stems from the fact that Robots do not get skill bonuses because they do not have muscles to train. APS characters transform into substances that are not muscle, which was the basis for my opinion.

Stone Gargoyle

Hey, all was wondering do bonuses to physical strength a character can get from skills carry over to when they are transformed or do they only apply their default form? I'm looking at my 1st edition of Heroes Unlimited Revised. On page 174, both APS Metal and Stone say the physical strength is also...

Stone Gargoyle

No, it is a case of me not wanting to go through every single book and find reference pages and numbers and quotes. In any case, it is most likely something they expect you to figure out without spelling it out.

Stone Gargoyle

For my writing, I tap into a stream of consciousness. I must have tapped the wrong one. The thread is supposed to point out that the n.m.e. Nuclear metabolic enzyme, provided all the energy needed to power super abilities. (*the aliens who have mastered hyper-evolution, use the ability to instantly...

Stone Gargoyle

I fail to see how skill bonuses stack onto APS Water or any of the air based APS powers. I think there are some exceptions, but my statement stands as the general rule as I see it.

Stone Gargoyle

The way it is written, APS power replaces the body of the superbeing using them. Most prohibit stacking of the skill bonuses from physical skills on top of the bonuses from the APS power. Everyone has their own house rules for this, however, so check with the GM. Or if you are the GM, do what you wa...

Stone Gargoyle

The two reasons for the increase in supers in my campaigns are 1) nuclear accidents leading to freak weather pattern and radiation leakage and 2) aliens and otherdimensional beings mating with humans to create mutants and hybrids. It doesn't need to be more specific or complicated than that.

Stone Gargoyle

I think if they want it to be all one game system then they should get rid of MDC altogether and update all the PF books to second edition. There should be no need to convert anything from one setting to the next.

Stone Gargoyle

It sounds more like an explaination for powers than an actual power in and of itself. If you want to discuss said explaination, I suggest you take it from here and start a seperate thread for it.

Stone Gargoyle

There have been blood powers similar to this but I think this one is distinct enough to merit inclusion to this topic. Well done.

Stone Gargoyle

Part of the reason I do weird powers is so that they are unique and it is less likely anyone else has done them.

Stone Gargoyle

Its been a long while since I made anything, so I'll scrounge around in my brain for inspiration and see if I can come up with something. Likewise, we couldn't have run through all possible workable power concepts already. We haven't. I just get more creative when I read what others are making as w...

Stone Gargoyle

It is. I kind of wish people would start posting stuff to it again.

Stone Gargoyle

Sure. I'm always up for new creations by fans.

People who no longer have an account on the forums are having their materials removed. I have some of Mephisto's stuff but it is not marked as his in the file names so I wouldn't be able to give you copies without more work than I want to do. What I could do is send you copies of all of my powers fi...

Stone Gargoyle

Combat (for me anyway) has always been tedious in EVERY PB game (with the exception of Recon which has always been quick and deadly) and is the one thing that really could use an overhaul. Everything else is cosmetic. Combat is what needs a major fix. I agree that combat needs an overhaul, but redo...

If you go just by what is written in the Immortals category, then the Wizard Supreme is terribly weak. What do you think is the strongest option for Immortals? Besides being a Godling as an origin, I mean in terms of power categories from the list. That discussion would take us off topic and derail...

There is now a page count and price listed, so that indicates they may be close to releasing it. Says it will be a Spring release.

Stone Gargoyle

That would be very cool, Reagren. Please do.

Stone Gargoyle

I just avoid it altogether. There is plenty of material written that is SDC based.

Stone Gargoyle

The game is limited as written to prevent someone from creating, say, a superhero with power armor and laser weapons. Some GMs ignore that and run anything goes style games, but that is on them.

Stone Gargoyle

There is no need to modify the rules. HU2 has some of the best rules of all the Palladium games and does not need to be rewritten. Which is just a nice way to say that without the broken-ness of MDC, HU2nd is the least broken of PB's games and I wouldn't even say that - the BTS 2nd rules for skills...
