We are still in Round 2, at Arrowhawk's actions. Hellbound is waiting for rnd 3 before he acts again.

One thug(submachine) down. One(bat) out the window. One(weaponless) running to the stairs. One (pipe) attacked Arrowhawk. One (submachine) under Scarab's control.

Scarab easily takes over the thug's mind who turns on his companion. "Why'd you sell us out Man!" he yells as he fires into his companion's leg. The two melee weapon thugs slowly got to their feet and they knew they were well over matched by the two heroes. "Screw this!," the bat thug said as he attempted to charge pass Arrowhawk through the open window. His friend however decides to take a swipe at Arrowhawk instead. The blow fails to hit the hero, but it is just enough to allow his buddy to exit the building. The last remaining thug decides to give up on trying to get his weapon back from Scarab and runs past her towards the stairs.

Real sorry for the delays. RL took a hold of me and had me pinned for a while. Should be okay. Red Star heard the gun shots and is now heading twoards the youth center. A notice check to see ArmyofOne's duplicates near the building. DC 15. ArmyofOne can see something coming towards the youth center by air, but is unsure yet exactly what it is. Another notice check, DC 15 to make out the incoming hero. If that is made, make a K.Current Events DC 10 to recognize the figure is the hero Red Star. The Dupes, while picking up the guns and the bags catch sight of a side door on the youth center closing and hear the faint sound of fleeing footsteps inside of the building.

ArmyofOne has his dupes pick up the guns as well as the bags the thugs were carrying when he heard the sound of something coming towards the youth center and his duplicates. Looking up in the sky, he catches glimpse of something moving in his direction. Ground level from his location still near the garbage cans that he hid behind, he sees no other signs of trouble. His duplicates however do. They spot a door closing along the side of the youth center and hear the fading sound of feet on tiled flooring.

RED STAR The city was fairly quiet this cold night. Usually used to patrolling in other parts of the city, the slow night brought the hero out to Lincoln. Flying over the rooftops, he hears the sound of two quick shots that ring in the night's air. It doesn't take him long to realize that the shots came from the Lincoln Youth Center. It didn't take loong for him to change his course and head over to the area.

I'll advance later tonight.

Later tonight I'll advance.

Any more to this?

Okay, I think I can buy this. I'd like to see these insecurities somewhere in the history. As it stands now, you give everything from a 3rd person's point of view which makes thigns difficult. More from Adia's perspective would be good. Ans she can tell the difference how? AS things look now, she would assume every super human (technical or magical included) did not earn their power as she has no way of telling a difference. I'd like to see something towards this somewhere on the sheet. ------------------- Thank you for lowering the Abilities. It looks better. Remember to mention the extracurricular training in school in her background. Remember, Charisma is more than physical beauty. It is more force of personality than actual beauty. AS her background goes now, the 25 Cha fits better. Presently, they add up. As the board is has a silvery age to it, there shouldn't been much fataly injury. All damage is considered nonlethal unless noted. Addds up. Well considering she's got to switch to that force field, she's still going to be in a lot of trouble. Adds up. Thank you. I'm counting only 96 ranks here for 24pps. Where are the extra 8 ranks? Also, for formating, you don't need to wrtie 15(w/attractive). Simply put the new total at the end. Bluff 3 (+10/+22 attractive) Okay, the redirect I can live with. Thanks for the changes to the set up and dodge focus. Minions for combat is fine, but she only has one. Perhaps mention him in the background as well. Formatting. Could you take the minion stats and Equipment information an dplace them after the Feats section? Would make it easier to read. You can then move Equipment up in the line to conform to the alphabetical order. Now, with Attractive raised to 4, that gives you effectively +16 ranks on Bluff and Diplomacy. As the core rules state, you're loosing out on the exchange. Now, for another point, we generally allow up to Attractive 2 with very little problems, above that, you need to have a good reason for it. Remember, it is a feat that shows Active use of sex appeal to adjust someone's attitude. Now do you think Adia is the type to play sex games to adjust attitudes? The way you have her written up, I don't see it. That helps better. Yet this is not the main power of the item..... Shouldn't this be the main power and not the Ap then? Adds up. But I need to check about your Datalink. I'm not sure if an Ap can have an Ap in it. I'm checking with the other Refs now. EDIT:Looks like your Machine Control is no good. Nested Arrays are forbidden. No problems here. Your ESP is off. Visual costs double. Which makes the base 3pp/rank. Add the Extra +1, and then add the Flaw -1 for a total of 3pp/rank plus the PF for a total of 24pp. I'm having trouble reading your Super senses. Could you make it clearer? Is everything flawed? Is everything Radius? I see you put them together this time around. Good change. As how imprevious will change, I think we're leaning towards limiting it to your PL but nothing has been confirmed. Adds up. Okay. I can understand the reasoning behind the three nullifying powers. Adds up. So these are on different settings. Shouldn'T they both be under APs off of the main power instead of one being the main power? What kind of burst are you using? General or Targeted? This seems slightly strange that it gives an elerctric shock to a user other than Adia and yet you're getting cheaper cost for the device. I'm go to have to say no that trigger. As I mentioned earlier, why is Paralyze one of the main powers of the device when you clearly stated above that it's main function is something else? See above on this point. Thank you for the clarification. I can see the mental field working. Again, see above for information on this one. I can live with that. Yes, we'll need to see those changes in the background as well as the points I've just pointed out to you before we can proceed.

Sorry for the delay. I'll try to cover all the points that I see right offt the bat to cut down on time it takes to get through the approval proccess. Interesting but I'm not sure what this does for the character. Is she difficult to meet? Why did she show up on the show? Why did the interview change his mind on his out look of Adia? Let me understand this. She abused her position over her sister, expected the company to come to her, was a prime suspect in the death of her sister, and she hates supers? Okay, how did she manage to leave her country without being taken to court? Why does she hate vigilantes? Why compare them to rich, spoiled brats? Isn'T she a "rich spoiled Brat"? Why did she get disgusted by the super humans in Freedom? What about their actions did she dislike. What are these childhood insecuriteis that hse has? From the history, she was nothing but confident. She proved herself better than her sister as well as people who thought she couldn'T do the job. Yet, she loses interest in the company once she has control? Why does she make an exception for people who derive their powers from devices? Are they not the same "rich, spoiled" super humans that she hated before? Why would magic users be different? You listed Pride as one of her complications yet she never admitted to her participation with her sister's death? Wouldn't she be proud that she was able to escape the law? Why are her Dex, Wis, and especially Cha so high? There's not much in the history above that gives a reason why she would be so agile nor wise. As for the Charisma, 40 is a maxed out which seems way over the top to me. That puts her into the super human area, which are people that she dislikes. With an Attack of 0, and Defense of +5, all from dodge focus, she's going to be a sitting duck in combat. Are you sure you want to do that? Again, as teh Combat above, without buying any toughness or saves, this is a glass jaw character. For a brainiac type character, she is pretty limited in the skills area. Why the Arcana knowledge? I would think she wouls have some kind of Bluff, the way she was described above, yet nothing here. Why not? Okay. These feats are heavily based on skills you have no ranks in. It seems that you're trying to skimp by on her high Charisma. that's pretty cheesy. Let's try to get her some ranks in those skills at least so that she has some actual skill and not simply talent. Her combat feats make very little sense. Why does she have dodge focus, set up, and redirect when there's nothing in her background about having any kind of combat training? Exactly what is this device? Is it armor? Is it a hand held weapon of some kind? I would like more of a description of it to help better see why the below powers are in it. What is the triggered condition on her strike? Adds up. This second setting seems strange. Why does this device give mind shield? Why doe sit give immunity to magic? Is the device technology or something else? You should list the force field in the toughness section. Now as you ahve it listed, you are breaking caps. With no trade-offs, you can only have Toughness of PL which in this case is 10. So your force field is limited to rank 10. As a side note, we are discussing the limits of Imprevious which may affect this character. Again, why does this device negate Magical powers? Adds up. Adds up. Adds up. You need to address the questions I put above. Once I get your response we can get to work on the character.

The request is not about denying edits, but letting the people you're playing with know that eidts have been done. That's all I asked for.

That might be in teh edits that are being held off until he finishes his placement tests. Which I might add is only waiting for him to finish!! :rules:

My slowness had nothing to do with not liking the character, but RL. I'll archive this guy to let you put in a new submission.

All I'm asking for is that you use teh OOC thread that every thread on this board should have to let the other players know that edits have been made to your sheet. If everyone in the thread is cool with you using the changes, then you can use them. If not, then you don't, but you've pointed out the changes for those invovled. A simple note that says, Now there was a statement earlier that this had never been done. I hate to tell you it's not new. I've done it many threads. And you can see that Quark is waiting for his edits, because of an open thread, that he's almost finished with anyway. When I run a game, I look at sheets and make up the adventure based on the stats at that time. Some changes I allow to happen, others I don't. So as form of common courtesy, let the people you're playing with know that changes have been made so that they are not caught by surprise. For example, no one likes to enter a thread with a PL 10 character only to find out that suddenly the other chracter is now PL 11. Perhaps not a big jump, but it can tip the scales quite a bit.

Explosin went off before she got them into the water. You made the power check to keep them together due to spending a HP. The flavor text was to show that they were shocked to break their connection to each other which is why you needed to make a power check roll. You can post the results of your movement in the IC thread of how Scarab manages to hold the group together, though.

just a note that in present threads these edits will not be used., So make sure to make note of this in any active threads.

Okay, you need to edit your IC post to have Dupe 3 head over to the fight. He never left ArmyofOne's side. The attack rolls remain the same, but I would like to keep distance in mind. Would it help to make map?

You have both. The normal every thread gets plus the one for the complication. If you have the luck feat, you have those HPs as well. :)

Not sure what kind of response you plan on getting. unless they have the means to communicate mentally, I don'T think anyone in the building is going to respond. And in your post, you excluded the five thugs but included the heroes present. Scarab could of course respond but I'm not sure if Arrowhawk can. Possibly, depending your range, you might have sent the message to Hellbound. I haven't checked the books yet to be sure though.

She manages to keep them together and is able to move them through the water safely.

Balance checks are untrained and still get the ability modifier so he's okay.

I group is about the maximum of your present power setting. To do more than your maximum number, i.e. 2 groups at once, you'll have to find some way to increase your power. Dark Star notes that about six people fell into the icy waters below. If they aren'T pulled out soon, they could suffer damage from teh cold weather.

I hadn't read the IC post before I answered.

Sammy watched teh man look around, still unsure of who he was. "I'm not sure. It doesn't seem to be listed in anything I've seen before. If you can tell me anything about it, that would certainly help," Sammy said as he went over and picked up the box. He handed it to the strange to let him get a better look at. "I've been trying to find out what I could about it since I acquired it. One of my leads seems to have dried up and I'm again at a lost. Anything you can tell me could help." "Oh, ho! Looks like Lady Fortune is looking out for her boy again! Sent me someone that knows a thing or two about art here and maybe I can finally find out something about it and simply ignore that Byron guy.'
