This thread does not get many people posting to it, so a long time can pass between posts. I wrote the power you are talking about over eight months ago.. Yep, the low-lying fruits have been plucked, so we're either into variations or really far-out concepts that require deep thought and gnurly gam...

I've always had characters make saving throws to stay 'In the fight' once all SDC was gone. Just the Idea that once the injuries started to really incapacitate (HP) then the ability and will to fight would wane. It was simple. PC's would retreat from fights when SDC got low, to avoid passing out in ...

Iczer

always? How so? so these have never worked for you; pepper spray, nerve gas, flash/bangs, stun batons, smoke grenades, rope, a bucket of water If your goal is to do damage then yes - you fail If your goal is neutralize, incapacitate or even kill, you have options. If your character is nothing but a...

Unless you are an actual supernatural creature you are going to have to find another way to beat them other than hitting them with sticks and throwing rocks I've always found that's a crock. If you find yourself facing an invulnerable foe you really could be done for long before any half baked plan...

Iczer

That said, It's a minor thing really. Neither power adds much to a character on its own. your semi-standard 2 major power mutant holds on to 30 SDC at first level. Absorbing a copy of himself is pretty much a very small, and non game breaking boost as far as the game goes, and is hardly a world clas...

I have always ruled that anything that, when converted into rifts, would do MDC damage, hurts the invulnerable character. That makes them hella invulnerable, and still possible to take down. Batts So wait, almost all super powers that deal damage will now hurt an invulnerable character? Superhuman ...

Just off the top of my head Continuous beam Requires: Ranged energy attack Purpose: to simulate a continuous stream, or 'firehose' like effect with an energy attack. Pouring it on so to speak. Mechanic: after making a strike roll with the energy attack, declare it is 'still on'. Between the end of y...

I like the array idea in concept, but I found it was fairly unfair the whole way round, and prone to massive mismanagement and rules abuses. Plus the actual arrays were highly unprobable.

I've reduced attacks per melee and slaved them to initiative.

It does work faster, with the higher initiative people getting more tactical.

I'd let him die. It's a lot of work to set it up, so I'm inclined to let it work. If it were a player doing it, I'd be concerned as to what sort of Psycho he may be, or what sort of psycho the enemy is. If it were a villain doing this, I'd let it not-so-subtly slip that this was a possibility so tha...

not so much a spoiler if you have read the original. But yes.

Not that Palladium gives such a great edge.

Precognitive combatant? Precognitive analysis? Presearch?

Considering how Palladium generally hates instant-kill things I have to wonder why they stuck Teleportation with the risk of an instant kill every time you use it. I guess they only hate you getting to instant kill others but are fine with things rigged just to kill the PC instantly. Palladium is p...

I made a kind of handshake rule with my player who teleports.

No instant death results, under the proviso that she cannot take unwilling passengers.

It's worked out just fine (fer her on at least three occasions)

PowerSurge . absolute best best part is this beast is 100% book legal. No cheating no fudged Attribute roles. Wow I can totally see why everyone recommended the PU2 Immortal over my "stacker" even though my version was quasi legal. Checkout the base attributes I started with. Ps10. Pp25. ...

That sounds good in alot of ways. But as a quibble, why at three or less? You can survive to your PE in negative. it's a number of things. You can survive at negative PE, but after 0 you aren't doing anything but approaching death. So if zero is really deaths door, then we want to stay above that. ...

I shorten fights by making HP very critical. Lose all your SDC? Save vs stun/Knockout (12+) Down to half? Save vs Stun/Knockout (14+) Down to a quarter? Save vs Stun/Knockout (16+) Down to three or less? Night-Night. Most fights come down to punching through SDC and arresting the incapacitated crook...

I don't understand the fun involved in playing a character like this. I mean...I really don't. That's not a knock against the power of it or anything like that, it's just so abjectly foreign to me. Like...what do you even fight? Or does your GM keep you involved in RP stuff where your powers don't ...

I've never appreciated ethic superheroes personally. I'm from Australia, and whenever I see 'Australian' superheroes my blood boils, mostly because if it's not a boomerang slinger, it's invariably named after some misbegotten Australian animal. I can't see why other countries can't seem to enjoy a b...

Not every power is there, but the bulk of it is. Those that are not there are not due to the authors of said material not having given permission for their stuff to go in there. All of my stuff (well over 400 powers) and all of Iczer's stuff is there, which are most of the powers in the thread. The...

Sadly, I have had to shut down three HU2 games, as players have moved or gotten a little pregnant.

I've never had to go so long without any HU2 games running, and Now I'll be starting new ones.

I already miss these games, but am looking forward to new horizons.

I usually have them work interconnected cases, or offer some incentive to team up. a really big-bad works wonders to unite characters, as does a defining disaster. In Huston, PC's responded well to the city's "Cash for Capes" promotion which caused them to band together. I have had some su...

I find lately that I am trying to invent the same powers I've already written before. I may post some of the ones I am coming up with if they improve on what I wrote before, but it would be nice to be able to come up with something original. Victim of your own success. Yep, when the easier discover...

I seem to recall that a writer, forgive me for not remembering the name, once said "if the story starts to slow, just have some goons kick in the door and start firing. sort out the "why" after the smoke clears" Get yourself a metaplot and some generic bad guys and you should see...

what about heart of diamond(minor) which is the oppisite of heart of coal? hardly the opposite. I don't do copies or variants. Copying and pasting my own work isn't really my style.

Insanity Mist [Minor] "Are you kidding me? I'm not fighting Dementi-Kid. I'm not crazy....and I'd like to stay that way" The character can project a light pastel mist from his body, that surrounds him and his general area. The mists interact with the brain's natural operating, causing mis...

Individual mutants are not a species. Then how are mutants classified? Are they considered altered humans? technically a mutant is any organism that is born with genetics that cannot be found in either parent.

I would have to look it up in the book to be sure, but generally I think you have limits on what you can do with the power in that regard. If not, it would be up to individual GMs on how they wish the power to work. I just know though that someone will want to use the power to shapeshift into somet...

I often allow the result of a dodge to remain consistent (but falling) until the character has another attacks. So if Terry-Dactyl dodges sidewinder (rolls 16, gets a 20) he can count that 20, dropping by one each time, against sidewinders allies Broken fist (dodge 19), Retainer (Dodge 18) and Squas...

One interpretation is that Shapeshifting generally does not grant powers, so changing to something with wings would not grant you the ability to fly, nor would you gain working gills or fins to swim by turning into a fish.

Well that's a main thing I hate about the power, it's a major power and clearly a mis-named power as whatever you build with it clearly isn't actually functional even if you supposedly have and use all the appropriate parts to build or repair it.
