	Not sure if you're stereotyping me or I'm stereotyping myself if that's possible. Must be you guys that just drive my characters nuts.

According to the rule book, the player chooses some sort of sensory ability. This can be acute, or something more like night vision, sonar, radar, etc. What sense (or senses) did you want heightened? It's normally one (from the gist of the text in the 2.1 rules), but if you want more, we can work something out. As far as I know, we're on for Friday. I think it's just you and John playing, as I haven't seen Eric post in the thread for this week's game. I made up the villain last night at work, so hopefully he will be a sufficient challenge for the both of you. He was for the hero he fought in the golden age of comics

	Not to interfere at all, Gerry, but I think the usual (default) - at least from most of the published works - is to have a couple of senses heightened. It is Heightened Senses (plural), rather than Heightened Sense, after all!

	I dunno. I just think the rules read Heightened Senses as it sounds better, grammatically, than Heightened Sense. I've always ruled it as one sense per roll of the power. Of course it all depends on the power level of the game and the proposed heightened sense or senses.

	I always let them roll 1d4 and then spread it out as they wanted. Four slightly heightened senes or one that can be amped up to four times if they roll that well.

	I figured the 1d4 but did not want to assume for Gerry. We can figure it out quickly tomorrow night I think. Heightened Sense of the Dramatic for DR. Mysterious.

	I think Heightened Sense of Fashion would be just right for your character.

Anyway, if Oni decides what he wants in terms of how many, I'm sure we can work it out before we play. If he has a clear idea which ones he wants, then he can take them, and not have to roll.

	I wonder if long term exposeur to your hallucinogenic gass is harmful?

	I understand, you don't wish to reveal your trade secrets. That is logical. Still, I should take precautions when you utilize your gass, as it seems to impair my motor functions. I wonder if its an allergic reaction, as you don't seem to be affected. This warrents further study.

	Of Course, Professor Sweet. We certainly would not wish you to trip again in such Emergency situations.

This warrents further study. I suspect this will earn you a comedy bonus each "issue", as this was one of the more entertaining aspects of the game last night.

	C'mon. You know I always write these things down. While talking down one out of two Thugs The Sweet Scientist was attempting to get the second Thug to bring us to his Hideout so we could trace down the Villian. John's chararcter had already knocked the first Thug out with one punch. The second Thug was saying " Oh, I don;t think you want to meet the Boss." The Sweet Scientist replied " and I don't think you want to meet The Knuckles!!" I thought it was great.
