I don't think there is anything canon on this (not that I've seen, anyhow). The average human being can hold their breath for up to 2 minutes, provided they are underwater and in a relaxed state. On land or underwater in a stressful situation, the average is about 30 seconds. If you translate this t...

Serious thread-o-mancy on the sticky here, but...

Yordin's TMNT page hasn't been maintained since 2010. And the links on the page point to a site that no longer exists.

Effects that are innate to the object do not use PPE.

Mimic is on the right track, but not entirely. You can copy innate abilities derived from enchanted weapons, objects, or bestowed abilities, but not actual spellcasting or spell knowledge. Although, with your GM's approval, you could make the argument that Mimic should allow this. Copy Energy Patter...

I like combining Rainmaker with EE Cold. Instant snowstorm, even indoors!

Severus Snape

I think the biggest thing would be Hardware/Technology Unlimited. The books were written long enough ago that, with the way things have changed IRL, the content of the books might be a bit outdated. So to expand upon and have newer technologies and hardware available would be peachy. In addition to ...

Severus Snape

The only other power I can think of that may even come close is Rainmaker.

Severus Snape

No this was a faster rate because I was like "Huh, that's faster than I thought it would be". If it recovered at natural rates then healing factor could come into play and then it might be pointless. I don't get what you are going after here. Why wouldn't accelerated healing help with the...

Severus Snape

I believe that SDC from/for APS powers recovers at thd same rate as normal SDC.

Severus Snape

Well always think a Minor powers do only One thing and Major power have versatility That's not entirely accurate. The Warp Sound power, which you gave in your opening post, has some pretty good versatility built in to it. You go offense (Amplify Sound), defense (Muffle or Silence Sound; Parry Sound...

Severus Snape

I think once you've exhausted the Palladium library for tricks, you should probably head to your local library and read a few magic books. A lot of the things that RL magicians do utilize specialized equipment or devices, which could be incorporated into any character you create.

Severus Snape

I was looking over this spell the other day. Call Lightning is a Air Warlock spell you can hit persons with lightning and the person gets 1D6 in damage per level of the spell caster. But wait a minute... What?? No saving throw, no dodge, no nothing to defend yourselves with. So that means a 10th le...

Severus Snape

Keep in mind that everything I am about to say is from my point of view on this power. None of this is canon, and individual results may vary. First, the power does not indicate any limitations to what can be used as ammunition for this ability, only "any solid object"... This leaves me pu...

I believe Heightened Sense of Hearing allows for this.

Are there stats for Ice Giant, or are you going to do them, too? Also, you have a typo. It should read "the super villain fell in love with America sweetheart", not "the super villain feel in love with America sweetheart". I did not read the whole thing, so that is the only one ...

Severus Snape

Well I thinking Multible sleves,Growth and Mimic. For starters, this combo should be banned. In fact, I ban Multiple Selves and Mimic just on principle alone (and you can all thank NMI for that). But multiple people in the same group with this combo? Sorry, but this game cannot be saved. This combi...

Severus Snape

Yeah, I may allow characters to have cosmetic differences and if they want to personalize them more work something bout but I'm not going to limit them or change stuff unless the players care . Daniel Stoker And on that particular note, if the players care that much that 2 or more of them ended up ...

Severus Snape

Why should there be a need to limit the powers just because 2 characters have them? Why are the players being punished for having the same power set? Put it this way: Would you limit the powers someone with, say, Mimic steals from someone else? They then have the same powers (albeit for a limited am...

Severus Snape

To me, I see the need for only 2 WPs of the 4 mentioned in the title. They are: WP Pole Arms WP Staff Forked weapons - such as a trident - and long spears would generally fall under the Pole Arms category due to their length and the bladed implements on at least one end. Staffs, staves, and short sp...

Dragon hoards only look impressive until you realize that only the top layer is coins, and underneath is just a bunch of old newspapers, and cats. And below that the kitty litter? Eww So how many cats does a dragon need before it is considered one of those crazy cat dragons? That depends. Is the dr...

Seems like I'm pushing this site today...

Enter a few variables, hit the button, and voila! Instant Treasure Hoard!

Severus Snape

It's all good; I was just wondering why you would go to such great lengths - with wonderful results, I should add - when donjon has already done the heavy lifting regarding adventure synopsis for you. The linkage: m To be fair, it's a bit biased towards D&D/d20/Pathfinder, but a lot of the rando...

Severus Snape

Is there a reason you don't just hit the random button at donjon to lay out the base of a campaign?

Severus Snape

Ok, so same campaign, new question. Our Goblin Witch (god I love this game) has at his disposal the Charm spell. Which, as we all know, makes the subject who fails the saving throw believe the caster is cooler than sliced bread. Which I don't have a problem with - if they use Charm and the bad guys ...

The character doesn't breathe. Everyone's reservations are due to nitrogen and the bends but that would not be a concern with this character. I read the OP's powers and abilities and I stand by my decision. Just because he doesn't breathe doesn't mean he doesn't gave those gasses in his body. He ma...

Severus Snape

Generally speaking, the maximum depth tolerance for a normal human being, without additional gear (such as a solid-suit or specially crafted diving machine) is about 1,000 feet. This is the equivalent of 30 atmospheres or 450 psi. And when thinking about that, remember that the normal PSI a person d...

N&SS might have some in there somewhere.

My only quibble with this is technical, you don't have to succeed 10 times to consider it learned, you simply have to put in 10 tries at it since succeed or fail you're learning until after the 10th time you've worked out all the bugs. You are correct; I remember the rule wrong. I re-read it, and y...

Severus Snape

This is one of the reasons I love the Marvel FASERIP system. You are allowed to dream up stunts that make sense based on your powers, and then you have to work to make them work. And this is done (albeit summarized) as such: 1. You spend 100 karma. 2. You roll a d100. 3. If the roll succeeds, you pu...

Severus Snape

I've read through the whole thread. And my 2/100 of a dollar... I can see how both sides could - COULD - be right on this. If you are striking something without the power, you get the PS bonus, but if you are striking something and using the power, why not? It's perfectly logical to assume that if y...

Severus Snape

Ok, I think I'm just gonna rule that the book itself, regardless of whatever is written in it, is non-magical. If it has wards/circles/runes/protections/a naval warship on it, then it's magical.

Thanks everyone for the help!

Severus Snape

My understanding is that spell books aren't magical just because mages write down their formula, notes, and what-have-you in them. Having said that, many mages put protections on them so that only they can touch and/or use them (See MoM ). And that was my understanding as well. But there is nothing...

Severus Snape

In a game I'm running, I have a player who is a Goblin Witch. Yes, a Goblin Witch. This is one of the many reasons I love Palladium - there are so many options to choose from. But I'm digressing and getting away from why I'm writing this thread. Anyhow, as part of his character's pact, the Goblin ha...

Animate Drawing. Can't remember which book it's in; I believe it's in one of the Rifters. But it's a beautifully described power. You draw something and bring it to life; it seems like the perfect power for a comic-book world.

Check Kittenstomp's tables. The SNPS table might give you what you need?

Severus Snape

I'm aware of that. But it's still a cool effect.

Severus Snape

All very good points, and stuff I should know better on. Would help if I'd re-read some powers before making such blatant statements. However, it doesn't change my choice. Even if I can't create lasers, I'd still take Bend Light if only for the ability to turn "invisible" without using up ...

I know this has been answered before, and I know I've seen the answer before. But for the life of me, I cannot find it, so I have to ask.

What is the conversion from Dollars in HU2 to Credits/CR in AU/AUGG? And in which book is this listed, and on what page?

What, exactly, are you looking for to be included in a GM screen for HU? You could potentially design one yourself and take it to Kinko's or Insty Prints or whatever version of a print shop you have in your area and have it done up for you.
