Dr Archeville

Alrighty.

Vulture began to peel his armor off. Shark continued trembling on the lawn. He'd fallen to his side, and was partly curled into a fetal position.

Razorback? Still with us?

So... do you need Disable Device checks from Doc and Quark now, or what?

Alright, here's your second approval.

Several days later -- though still early in May -- Jos Terhune meets with the mother of Sirius Vulpes, and the new antiques supplier whom they knew. Terhune's one request was that he insisted that they meet in his shoppe. Okay, the wards I've got up should protect me from any scrying or odd mystical senses they may have. I know Sirius has that book, and his werefox friend, so I'm going to take a few precautions. He checked himself in the mirror again. His time... away had taught him much, including how to easily and rapidly shift his form into any humanoid shape he desired. He currently looked mostly like himself, but with certain enhancements to make him more distracting to those who were attracted to masculine types. "Ah, so good to see you, Ms. Vulpes!," he said with his best Salesman's Smile.

Umm... what/where/why? What is this thread for? Where is this occurring? Why is he attacking these critters?

I don't think all your edits got saved: I'm not seeing Mighty listed on the Strike. Okay, a few more minor questions, just to clarify some things. Are the Criminal Minions she has the same type of PL 1 Criminals from the back of the Core M&M book? If so, I'd like to see that noted. You say the Warehouse HQ is "on the waterfront." That actually doesn't narrow things down very much, since Freedom has two rivers running through it. Pick a neighborhood, please. Are you sure you want this guy to have 0 Tougnhess and only a +5 Defense? That makes him PL 3 in terms of Defense/Toughness -- if anyone should see through his ruse and attacks, he's gonna get creamed.

That would need to be noodled over by Refs. That would require no noodling, and would be fine.

New powers look fine, though I would like to see the speeds listed next to the movement powers. And why isn't the Strike Mighty? If they're claws, then fluctuations in her strength should affect the damage they can do. Also, where's the Warehouse HQ located? I envision that their sensors would notice something appearing from the Terminus popping in anywhere on the planet. Are you really married to the "from the Terminus" idea? Any chance you can have him/it just be an 'regular' extraterrestrial from some far-off world, come to sow chaos in preparation for an impending assault?

I'd say the first is not legal, so of the two the second's your only option. That'd be do-able, but I don't like seeing char with more than one VP, so if you're going to take the "Reflex Memory" thing, take a Utility Belt-like Array. How is C-4 an ongoing thing? It just explodes, once you hit the trigger, right? Smoke Grenades are Independent Obscure effects. Your other questions are oddly worded and confuse and infuriate me.

Archeville let out a long sigh, indicating that he'd been holding his breath in anticipation. "Forgive me, Herr Odysseus, I did not mean to come across as so... paranoid. You haff been a excellent guest, und I haff been a poor host. If de invitation is still open, I vould very much like to see your vorld und meet your associates."

Knock off two points of Str, and use the original Adrenaline Cannon -- which was, if memory serves, a Full Round Line Area Strike 10 -- and I'll be happy. ;)

Be sure to create an OOC thread and Timeline entry for it, please.

Actually... I don't think Knievel did anything in the entire month of February, so y'all could do it then. Which'd help explain why he's at Knievel's trial the following month.

A majority of the Refs have weighed in and voted. Constructs get a Reflex save against Affects Objects Fort saves (like the Drain Toughness part of Corrosion and Disintegration).

Hrrmmm... anything in particular you wanted to test?

I really think we need to resolve the whole "Trial" and "Jail" thing -- and the Explosion in Riverside, which is the big thing in the Ref's laps right now -- before you start planning anything else (and knot up the timeline more than you already have).

... because most powers only have one save? I don't think a "Disintegration Ray" used on a living person is going to be targeting/resisted by their immune system.

Why?

Why an option between two?

... eww.

Right off the bat, my biggest concern are those two big Variable Powers the thing has. VPs can be... troublesome in any game, and two VPs seems a tad like overkill. Do you need both VPs? Some examples -- say, 5-10 "forms" -- of what you'd be using the Shapeshift for would be helpful. My second concern is that you've mostly hinted at what Diplomat will be doing here in FC (where's the Personality & Motivation section?). Is he mostly just going to replace people, act out-of-character, and then watch how others react? Is he going to try to get back to the Terminus, or is he content here (at least for the immediate future)? The third big concern is how/why his arrival didn't set off lots of alarms and make the Freedom League or Atom Family come crashing down, since there's been two Terminus Invasions so there would be some sort of rudimentary monitoring system in place by now. You also need to list what Comprehend 2 (Languages 2) gives you. With it, you can * Speak "Babel," so that everyone who hears you speak hears you in their native tongue, but you won't understand them or be able to read their writing, or * Speak any one language at a time and understand all spoken languages simultaneously, but not be able to read any, or * Speak any one language at a time and be able to read all languages, but not understand any spoken ones.

I've also seen it suggested that the Construct get a Reflex save instead of what would normally be the Fort save. (Thus, if Reaver attacked Avenger with his Corrosion, Avenger'd make a Ref save vs. the Drain Toughness part, then a Toughness save vs. the Damage).

The Refs... are actually still noodling this one over. :oops:
