The Lighthouse November 10, 2014 The transportation platform of the Lighthouse flashed, as an incoming transport arrived from Earth. Velocity materialized on the platform, fully dressed in her costume, although she was still feeling the lingering effects of sleep. The alert that had come over her League communicator had awoken her well before her alarm was set for. But she had wasted little time in getting up and responding, getting over to Freedom Hall and then beaming up to the Lighthouse. Standing near the pad, awaiting her arrival was the cloaked form of Dr. Metropolis. "Good morning Velocity." The enigmatic figure stated in his deep, rumbling voice. "The others have already started to gather in the main meeting room." "Morning, Doctor." Velocity stated with a small smile. "Thanks. I'll get right over there, but first will want to make a small stop for some coffee." The speedster was then off in a blur of yellow, heading towards the space station's galley. A few moments later, she had coffee mug filed with the hot liquid and then made her way to the main meeting room. As Dr. Metropolis had indicated, there were already some League members gathered. Captain Thunder was there, looking a bit tired and worn and seated at the center seat of the large table that was at the center of the meeting room. Johnny Rocket was also sitting along one side of the table, doing his best to patiently wait for everyone to arrive. Standing off to one side were Daedalus and Star Knight talking. Maria had her helmet off at the moment, and looked rather upset. "Good morning Velocity." Captain Thunder said in greeting. "Please have a seat, hopefully the others will not be too long."

Amara listened to VINCE as the hologram made suggestions on how they should proceed, as well as reveling that there were a number of spacecraft available for them to use. As she looked at the image VINCE displayed showing the Aquila class starships they used to use, a number of memories came to the Naram. "We will take the Aquila starships. They are already familiar to us." She answered in reply. She then considered the various discussions more, as well as the sheer scope of the task upon which they were setting themselves. Amara began to realize some the burden her brother had felt as one of the Imperators of the Praetorians. But then, he had had several co-Imperators with which the share the burden, as well as the support and guidance of the Empress. But she was not completely alone she realized as she looked back at the others. She certainly had Traveller and Elite to assist her, as well as all the others, in their own ways. "I agree that following up on your suspicions could provide us with important information brother Moon-Moth." She finally stated, before indicating that Traveller, Dragonid and four other of the surviving Praetorians would accompany him in one of the starships. "I will take the rest of us to go make contact with the Lor and possibly the Grue to try to begin organizing a counter offensive. Traveller is correct, we do have experience with the Communion and can serve as a symbol to rally around." She looked back to Traveller, Moon-Moth and the others that would be investigating Moon-Moth's theory. "Learn what you can, but do not take any unnecessary risks."

<And we have a mine right there.> Synapse mental relayed to Ulysses as she moved carefully closer to the trap, avoiding the plates that would have set it off. <Shouldn't be a problem to disarm. Don't want to leave this armed behind us.> The young Englishwoman knelt down and began studying the design of the trap. It was well crafted, but like everything else in this dimension, it was built entirely with mechanical components. It was not too hard for her to find the best means of disabling it so they could safely pass back this way without worrying about it being set off. After disconnecting a few wires, the device was then harmless, at least in terms of being set off just by someone walking over it or its pressure plates. <Alright, let's move on.>
-
Synapse cannot miss that Disable Device roll, so she will disarm the trap. Also, as I mentioned, Synapse had her forcefield up, which would qualify as protection.

Okay, some more comments for you YF. First, one small question fluff wise, if your character is an alien, why does she have an Earth adopted name? Do you plan on having her on Earth instead of out in space? Crunch issues: Combat: You changed your ranks of Attack Focus: Ranged, but did not correct your base attack bonus (it looks like you added the points you meant to spend there to the points you have spent on base defense bonus as well). Your Grapple should be +3 (or whatever your base attack bonus is) Saving Throws: For your toughness, you have +8 from “other†(which should probably be labeled Glacial Armor) Your other saves look fine, though, I have to ask, why does your character have a higher Will save that Fort or Reflex? (You do not need to change this, it just seems slightly out of place) Skills: I am only counting up 48 skill points spent, not 52. There is no Gambling skill. Also, Languages does not have a roll associated with it (so you can drop the +4), instead, you select 4 languages you speak beyond your native. (We have created a language Galstandard as the widespread trade language spoken in a large part of the known galaxy). Feats: What are Prehensile Feet and Wolf’s Ears from? And what do they do? Powers: In the array for the Transform power, what is the broad group of things you can transform to ice? (“Things†is not a definition of a broad group). For the Summoning, precise does not do anything for that power. For the Create Object, 9 ranks of progression is far too much. That makes each cube 5,000 feet in size! I would suggest either buying more ranks of Create Object (which could not have the Impervious extra) or maybe add precise and some other feats as well. You also need to fix the point totals spent on each category in the total toward the bottom of the character sheet.

Synapse gets a 22

YoF, you have not yet edited your first post to reflect the edits.

Well YoF, a good start, but there are a lot of formatting errors that need to be fixed before I can really start digging into the build. But, while you do that, there are a few things that you should also fix as well. First, you cannot have a 0 base attack bonus. Per our house rules, at least 1/3 of you attack bonus needs to be base attack bonus, so you would need at least 3-4 for BAB, before adding the Attack Focus: Ranged. Second, could you please remove all skills in which you have not purchased any ranks. Having all those zero rank skills is distracting. Last, in your array, the Hailstorm alt power, homing cannot be used with a general area burst, as there is no attack roll. Similarly, Improved Range does not help either, as that increases the range increment before there are penalties on your attack roll, and there is no attack roll. One minor note, other than your snare, you have no attacks that can target individual targets (the others are area effects), this could be problematic in causing lots of collateral damage. But your choice really.

SG, this seems a bit like trying to manufacture a reason to be part of Phase 1, when you already have a good potential connection for Mechanized. Care to explain how the Lor would have even come to know about Nano Angel and how she ended up in their care? They do not exactly go around kidnaping people because they "might" be some sort of threat, particularly when they have a hands off policy for Earth. (she is not really that strange either that the Lor or Star Knights would not have run into something similar).

So AA, for the first sheet (Tronik paragon?) I am only counting 76 points of skills, not the 80 you have paid for. Sharl’s array would be 12, not 12.1. You also need to name a common effect (or group of uncommon effects) that prevents your resurrection. For the second sheet (hologram) I am only counting 84 points of skills (not 88 like you have paid for) Same for the resurrection here as above. For the third sheet (robot) Again, you have 4 unspent skill points. Again, same issue for the resurrection. Also, I only count 137 pp of powers, not 147 like you list. -
He gets a 22 so yet another bruise.
-
Well, my thought AA was that the Praetorians ships will be ones the Curator took when he captured them. So the same type of ones they used to use before. As for the weapons, those are some valid points Ari, only, space combat is a possibly pretty much right away in the Incursion threads, so there won’t be time to save up EP and upgrade with weapons. If we do add the weapons, it will be a lot more EP for each ship. They mainly are there to give us a means of getting around quickly (as many of us cannot do so under their own power).
-
That was my general thinking as well Ari. Though, there are some times where having weapons on the ship could be useful. I think the LSH ships might have had weapons (or at lest some of them), though they were rarely, rarely used.

Amara noted the slight frown that appeared on Sitara's face as she mentioned how some things had changed or been lost, but that was quickly replaced by a grin. The young Naram decided not to question Sitara about what she meant, feeling the other would elaborate more if she wanted to. Instead, Amara choose to focus on the points Sitara seemed more positive about. "I am most likely have not seen nearly as much as you, something I hope to change." She stated with a smile of her own. "As for drinking establishments, I believe you mentioned knowing a nearby one?"
-
That is just a possible weapon array. Now that I think about it, the torpedoes (or whatever we call them) likely do not need Improve Range, as there is no to-hit roll, so they could pick up some more Progression Range, giving them a much longer striking distance. Could also add some penetration on them as well maybe. Anyway, if we were to add that particular weapon array, we would be looking at a ship that costs 105 ep (or 21 pp) each.
-
Well, weapons make is more expensive. Here is a possible weapons array I was working on (adds another 8 pp/41 ep to the cost). Weapons Array 20 (40 pp array, Feat: 1 alternate power) [41 ep] Blast 10 (plasma blasters) (Extras: Autofire; Penetrating 5; Feats: Improved Range 2 (500 foot increment); Progression (Range) 2 (5,000 feet max range) {39/40} Blast 10 (quantum torpedoes) (Extras: Burst Area; Feats: Progression (Area): 2 (250 foot radius), Improved Range 3 (1,000 foot increment), Progression (Range) 3 (10,000 feet max range) {38/40}

Velocity gave a small bow as well when the queen granted them permission to speak with the passengers of the aircraft. The speedster was not at all sure about what to make of the surveillance camera that had been attached to the aircraft. As Gabriel mentioned to her and Triakosia discreetly, it should not have been on a passenger plane. The yellow clad speedster moved along with the other two heroes as they made their way to where the passengers were being kept, still staying at normal speeds for the moment. "Yeah, I can be gone before they even realize it, but it likely will not help things any." She said in a low voice. "Best to just stick together and see what we learn."

Giang was not particularly surprised that the Marine captain seemed reluctant to listen to her or any of the other teenage girls present on the vessel, regardless of whether they were superheroes or not. The Asian teen had to wonder given this bias why the Navy had bothered to even request their assistance if they were not going to listen to what they had to say. But regardless, they needed to be moving, for the longer they delayed, the more likely that whom or whatever was controlling this vessel and the Atlanteans would discover their presence. "We should get them secured and then get moving to the bridge." She stated to the others. "The longer we delay, the more likely whomever is in control of this vessel will realize something is going on and make preparations for us."
-
Giang was rather surprised at the presence of the clone hero, although she was happy to see him again as well. It had been over a year, shortly after he had graduated from Claremont, since she had last seen him. Of course, they had stayed in contact via email during the intervening period, if not frequently, at least regularly. She had been a little surprised when she had learned a few months after his graduation that she was the only one he was staying in contact with, but had chosen not to pry into his reasons for that. The Asian teen gave him a warm smile, as she recovered from the initial surprise at seeing him. "It is very good to see you as well John. It has been too long." She was also rather curious as to what it was he felt could not be communicated over email, although, given his emails were often lacking in actual information on where he was or what he had been doing, it was not too great a surprise. When he mentioned being on Hong Kong time, she could not help but stiffen slightly, considering that was her father's base of operations. But for the moment she was not going to let those type of thoughts ruin things. "Well, it looks like we have our ride." She instead stated to Creys, as helped her friend load her luggage into the trunk and then climbed into the convertible.

Slice gets a 16, which would mean another bruise and dazed, but I will just say he goes down.
