Nope, he got it right, always like to see your name come up...

I play the character Adamas in Calebhero's campaign... I thought it was soo cool when I was watching Trespass with Nicholas Cage, and he explained where the word for Diamonds comes from, the Greek Adamas... too cool!

Ranger, I'll get with you next week and see what we can work out. Then I'll start working my way through the rest of the team.

So what exactly is Dom's "one defense" rule?  Characters can only use a single defense?

Ranger wrote on Mar 31^st, 2015 at 10:11pm:

Looks cool.

@Majestic: Your welcome mi' amigo.

It's a good rule especially for PbP I think. Simplifies the number of things a GM has to keep track of. If you have any one of the biggies such as Armor, Invulnerability, Non-Corporeal etc your good to go. It's the combining of the lesser Defenses such as Flame Power, Light or Lightning Control etc. with other Defenses our illustrious GMs earn their "pay" when making a call on if they go over the top.

@Hawk: I kind of like it myself. It has a quasi-flight suit look to go with the solar-based motif. Of course the flight provided by Flame Powers is like putting a bi-plane up against a Tomcat when compared to the true Flight power but that's not necessarily a bad thing. It could give the character good reason to pilot the Thunderwing Even the Human Torch and Starfire travelled with the team when they had to use a vehicle for longer trips. 


Even though I've never felt one way or the other for Gravity Powers and I wouldn't want to be the artist, I've always absolutely loved this look.

Oh there's no doubt it's one of the better powers to get especially when you only have two or three powers. Have you seen the defense I'd say doubling the power effectively gets you about the same as if you had flight and power blast.

I believe it's one of the enduring things about the game Jeff and Jack wrote as kids. With minor exceptions *cough* Ice Powers *cough* if you keep an eye out for crazy synergy (Size Control/Hgt Agl B) it still is a well balance game to simulate comic book play.

I'm have a Journal entry almost ready but waiting to see if Dom might want to go a different direction on the reboot ... I'm not locked in on the Flame Powers. Who knows we might see a skill monkey or shrinking hero - a different type of Captain Atom - lol - by time he shares his wiley GM master plan 

Very interesting!

I think that is an excellent idea (including mysterious villain organization) I will dovetail that storyline neatly into the the most recent post I put together for Captain Rollins.

The Solar Sustainment idea sounds intriguing. Well themed, useful, not pushing anything over the top.

Are you okay with a flat +6 to Str, End, Agl, as the results of the Olympic level athletic training?

Will work on a character sheet this weekend 

Ranger, you'll be seeing a "news story" about a specific space flight posted here shortly.

Actually this gives me an idea for an in character story thread. So, I'll be posting it tonight. T-Bolt, along with anyone else who wants to join in, can post.

Sorry to hear about it being hectic but wish you the best Ranger

Skyhawk would be happy to help.

I 'think' I incorporated all the campaign character guidelines but consider this still a WIP until approved by Dom. Still haven't decided a name yet ... as always hardest part of character for me as it sets the characters image as much as any uniform.

Yes I tried various Wildfire pictures but without being red white and blue star didn't feel right.  Then the absorption thing kind of hit me and I thought of Sunspot. Really not in love with either one or the name but you got to start somewhere I guess

That's an excellent question. As a game balance issue I'd say it's purely Dom's call.

As a storyline device I would say he requires an 8 hour charge with the ability to do so multiple times each day. That in turn however would require him to stay relatively at rest those eight hours (the equivalent of bed rest) and of course he could not benefit from traditional medical assistance as other characters do.
