Dr Archeville

There could also be Jump/Warp Gates, effectively high-ranked Teleport with the Portal extra (and Progression to make the Portal big enough for spaceships to go through).

Please remember to make OOC threads for what y'all do. Also, I think she means "surprised," "distribution," "pertain," "neural" and "merely." Spell check is your friend. Especially for someone who's supposed to be smarter than -- and thinks much, much, much faster than -- every other character on the board combined. Unless you intend Prodigy to speak in Buffy Speak (which I believe is not the case). :)

Yes. Yes, it is.

What's all this then?

That leaves him dazed (can take no actions). Switching it from "pulling down" to "pushing up" (or vice versa) would be a standard action. You could do both in one round, if you use Extra Effort to surge. If not, you can only put him up this round. He'll shoot up into the air as if thrown by someone with 50 Str, up to the limit of the Gravity Control area (50 feet). But the ceiling of the Bernanke Center for Extension & Continuing Education isn't 50 feet tall. The lobby is about 30 feet high, but the meeting rooms (like the one we're in) are only about 25 feet high. Kenson suggests just using the Gravity Control rank for damage in such cases. Which, at Gravity Control 10, would be DC 25. Knievel's 19 fails by 6, so he gets another Bruise and he's stunned again. Knievel may've also broken through the ceiling. I'll say it's got a Toughness of 5 overall (he didn't slam into a steel i-beam), and take 10 on the Damage save. That'd fail by 10, so... that section of ceiling/roof is "disabled." Knievel didn't break all the way through, but there is a generous hole up there now. End 3/Begin Round 4; Initiatives & Conditions 24 -- Arrowhawk 23 -- Captain K -- held up by gravity; 2 Bruise, Dazed, Stunned 16 -- Doc 13 -- Dark Star Yes, we're still doing rounds, on the slim chance that Knievel does something Awesome before the cops arrive. ;)

Around 10:00pm (give or take on an hour) on Monday, September 15h, 2008.

So, you're turning off one field, and setting up a new, bigger field? If so, yeah, that's fine.

I've been wondering that myself. Problem I keep hitting is figuring out what would go where.

I don't think he can do that, not without Split Attack.

Avenger's keen mind and keener eyes tell him that these mysterious scraps are the equivalent of demonic phone numbers. They're components in demon summoning rituals.

The plural of crisis is "crises" (pronounced "cry-seez").

Only if he's got his Force Field up. Which he doesn't. Also, he's standing still and is letting you hit him, so you needn't have rolled an attack Toughness save to resist = 11, fail. Quark gets 30pp worth of Doc's madness You really need to buy off the Resisted Flaw on that Mimic. It's not like you don't have the points. :monkey:

Dr. Archeville is known far and wide, to young and old. He's especially known to the scientific world, or anyone with any ranks in Knowledge (behavioral sciences, earth sciences, life sciences, physical sciences, or technology), and to people in/from (Western) Europe. Belphegor is slowly becoming known, largely as a (demonic) muscle for hire. Very, very few people know he has a human form. Jos Terhune is becoming known as a dealer in (semi-)fine antiquities and curios, and for being a discrete art appraiser. His specialties are Dutch and French works, but he can get a client in touch with some other specialist, for the right price.

"... die Flipperwaldt gersput!" A few of the people around Archeville were in tears laughing, while a few were feigning polite laughter, and others were just scratching their heads.

Oh, I understand that. I'm just saying that if he'd made a high enough Notice check, he would've seen through it immediately.

Standard action to reconfigure Gadgets. Extra Effort to surge to gain another standard action. Hero Point (down to 2 now) to negate fatigue. Full round action to use his Uber-TASER. Since Knievel is prone, melee attacks against him are made with a +4 bonus. (Conversely, ranged attacks suffer a -4 penalty, and Knievel himself suffers a -4 penalty on any melee attacks he makes.) Since he's effectively carrying more than his maximum load, he also loses his Dodge bonus to Defense (he's effectively flat-footed), as noted under Carrying Capacity in the core rulebook. Check for Unreliable: 11 = good to go Need a DC 20 Fort save from Knievel. Mid-Round 3; Initiatives & Conditions 24 -- Arrowhawk 23 -- Captain K -- held by gravity; 1 Bruise 16 -- Doc 13 -- Dark Star

"Mit respect, Herr Arrowhawk," Archeville said as he began to fiddle with his Electromagnetic Screwdriver, "I believe I haff something a bit better." Two short metal prong popped out of the end of the device, and electricity arced between them. And suddenly he had stabbed Knievel with it, and held it there for a few moments.

I'm not so sure that should've worked anyway. A "Morph Watch" isn't something you can get via Equipment, that's something that'd be a Device. And if it had worked, Knievel still would've gotten a Notice check to see through it (since Morph just gives a bonus to Disguise).

You speak as if death is the worst thing I can do to you...

Why not use the HP to re-roll the save, and thus possibly not take any damage?

On this board, we've always run it as your flat-footed Defense is one-half your "base" Defense, rounded down. You have Defense +8, your flat-footed Defense is +4. You have Defense +9, your flat-footed Defense is +4.

No, no, it's a "we're trying to make the place make sense" thing. (Admittedly, this is not as easy as it sounds.) It's not all about you :P

Avenger finds a wallet, with a driver's license. "Vulture"'s name is Thomas Wells. Also in the wallet, and tucked into his pockets, were many small strips of paper with weird symbols on them. Going over the kid with her senses, Scarab detects something fairly odd: a very ornate bone flute, held in a custom concealed holster on his side.

Because that's how it goes in most games? In most tabletop games you get pps & upgrade a char between adventures, not during them (and definitely not in the middle of a combat, where a sudden increase in something could drastically alter how things go).

I know exactly what you can do. Shall I PM you?
