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.

MrTwist

Glad to see this is still around.

I think I asked this once before, but a very long time ago, but does anyone use house rules for power stunts in their games? What I mean by power stunts is modifications or personalizations to powers, acquired through role playing or every x levels. Like maybe things as simple as increasing the dama...

Sorry if these are common questions, but the permeability of force fields popped up in a recent game session and we weren't sure. Firstly is the force field only protecting things from getting in and not getting out, meaning someone inside the field can attack through it at an outside target or some...

Do we have anything for cold generation as a power as in being able to reduce the temperature, freeze things, shoot cold blasts, etc...? I was pondering a character inspired by a comic character with the power to manipulate cold, one time referred to as heat subtraction. They didn't change form, jus...

Counterattack(minor) This power is akin to the concept of the auto-dodge, except instead of allowing the person to dodge out of the way of an attack without using an attack they can actually strike back at an opponent without using up an attack. There are limits to this amazing ability however, but...

MrTwist

Not sure about this one. I'm sure it has been done before and might need a bit of tweaking. Damage Reduction(minor or major) That hurt. Not a lot, but it still hurt. This power allows the character to reduce the amount of damage they take from various sources, regardless of what type of damage it is...

MrTwist

It's been a while, so hopefully the format is ok. No Sell(minor) "Nice punch. Would be nicer if it actually did anything." This power allows the user to basically look as if they're unaffected by any damage they take. By default it is always on, even when they're asleep or otherwise uncons...

There are already minor versions of many major powers in the PU books. For example, Dispersal as a a minor variation of intangibility, or immunity to melee attacks as a minor invulnerability... True, there are. Sometimes, though, they don't exactly fit what I'm looking for which is why I'll just tw...

MrTwist

I do the same thing, sometimes, with the powers from HU2 and the various PU books. Every once in awhile when creating a character, I come up with a concept which can't be fully realized with the powers available. I've turned majors into minors by stripping away parts I found too powerful or unnecess...

These powers would make a great Rifter. Why can't you print them?! Even if there was a fundamental flaw in the game system they would be optional! Why? G you can go to The Black Vault Wiki and view all of them online there. At one point, a user who appears to be no longer active, had written a scri...

Im sorry to ask this, but in the HEROES UUNLIMITED BOOK #1, there is a power called HEIGHTENED SENSE OF RECALL. It is printed in the book that you can recall ANYTHING YOU HAVE EXPEREANCED, SEEN, or HEARD. It dose not state anything about powers, but w/ it saying that you can recall anything EXPEREA...

It's been a long time since I contributed anything to this thread, so forgive me if I'm rusty. Hopefully I didn't copy a previously created ability, and if I did I'm sorry. And, also hopefully, it isn't stupid. Spit(minor power) The character's mouth becomes a rather versatile and powerful weapon. T...

I like Riathenors.

They can be incredibly effective as villains depending on how they are used. One of my players had his alien character all ready to leave Earth when he found out Riathenors had been discovered.

Here's the next table. I haven't completed it, and likely won't for a few days. I have a project due for a class, so I have to put everything on hiatus for a day or two while I finish it up.

Embattled Earth This world appears to be a late twentieth/early twenty first century Earth. The main difference, on first glance, is it looks like a war took place here. In the cities buildings are damaged and there's a decent amount of debris. In some areas the wilderness has started taking over. ...

Well, one person's interest is enough for me. I'll get to work on it. As opposed to waiting until I have the whole thing ready at once, I'm going to post whatever bits and pieces I'm working on. That way people can give me some feedback before I create a final product.

So I came up with this idea for a new Power Category a couple years back when I was much more active on this forum. I never got past the rough draft stages, and most of that was in my head, of the work-up. I figured I'd put up some information, mostly just flavor text to explain stuff, and let peopl...

Your concerns were brought to Kevin's attention. Saturday morning he made a public announcement and asked the game masters to allow a few extra people at their table if at all possible, and if you still felt like there wasn't any room for you anywhere to mention it to one of the staff and they woul...

Iczer, are you still generating powers like Angelina Jolie adopts third world children?

MrTwist

well, honestly, I for one took one look at your shirt and said to myself "wow, what a contemptible jack***" and went back to my game. I can get your point about signing up, it is unfairly scaled towards the VIP night people, I really think it should be a combination of first come first se...

So I had an idea for the next Open House. This idea spawned from me being incredibly bored at this Open House and not really wanting to go back. Don't get me wrong; I'm thankful for the opportunity the Palladium staff gave to it's fans by having this in the first place. I just wished there was more ...

Well, I'm still not sure if I'm even going to the next Open House. This one wasn't very fun, with the exception of a few hours in Chris Perrin's HU2 game(The Gr8ness League). I did get to meet Subjugator, and a lot of people seemed to like my shirt. It's possible I met some other people from here, b...

There's a tank plant near my house. Or at least there used to be. I'm pretty sure it's still there. I'm going to do my best to get there and get a damn tank. Hopefully I can get it fueled up and use it to get myself into some of the more rural areas. It would take awhile to get there, especially ove...

What would I want? Ideas for adventures in settings specific to Dead Reign, not just zombie themed stuff in general.

So imagine this, the picture is a head shot of a worried looking Flooper with a large caliber revolver pointed at the d-bee's temple and the caption in large letters reads "BUY THIS GAMING SUPPLEMENT OR WE WILL SHOOT THIS FLOOPER!" I predict modest sales at best. How about "Buy This ...

I don't live that far away, so getting there isn't a problem. What I'm wondering is if anyone has any gaming planned for tonight after the VIP stuff. I figure it might be easier to go there tonight, play in a game or two, and already be there for tomorrow. So if anyone's running stuff tonight let me...

Fomorian is a really weird power...what is the inspiration for that one? a few things. I hadn't posted for a while, so I free associated a few words until I came up with the above.

Paradise? This universe reacts to thought and reworks itself to thought. Until the arrival of you and your team, it existed by viewing other realities. There is an earth, and you are on it. If only you existed here you would be in heaven, because now it has various other minds to define itself by. ...

The Archives You exit the rift into a street, with four roads branching out. In all directions, all you can see is more road stretching past the horizon. At each corner is a building with a single set of doors. How many floors are in each building is determined randomly it seems, from one to four. ...

That is a very cool idea! I like how strangers fall thru the dimensions. Would there be anyway to get back to the top? What happens if they reached the bottom? Do they go back to the beginning? Or do they succumb to death at the bottom? I really hadn't thought of getting back up. I guess it would b...

The Thin Worlds If you spend too much time in one place, like for more than an hour within the same 500ft, you slip through to the next one. I hope you don't like sleep.

The Thin Worlds As opposed to one world, this is actually somewhere around a few thousand worlds stacked very closely together. The closeness of these worlds makes each individual one somehow weaker.

I would prefer the Cosmo-Knights be left generally as they are. At least in regards to the Cosmic Forge and all the mysteries surrounding it/them.

So I suppose that the fragments might be able be colonized by the peoples of earth. Or used as raw materials. I figure some of the wars that break out between colonies would likely be the result of needing more raw materials to produce things. Bomb the heck out of your enemies and take what you want.
