"Yes, quite," quipped Geckolass. "In your current barely controlled rage, we should definitely let you go off on your own. And talk in short sentences. Really angrily. Like this. Until you snap and hurt someone, and I'm not having your stupidity on my conscience." She turned to the Doktor. "How close is your lab? I can call in an airship to take us there if it's too far."

If you have no trade-offs, there is no way you can increase your flat-footed defence until PL 12, whereupon you could easily just spend 1 pp more to change the Dodge Focus rank to a defence score rank. There's nothing stopping you buying odd defence scores, but it will cost you 1 pp more for the same effect. My suggestion wasn't Defence 11 and Dodge Focus, rather sticking to defence 10 and buying dodge focus for aforementioned same effect.

Yeah, that's exactly what it is. My point is that defence 10 + dodge 1 will give you a defence of +11 (+5 flatfooted). Defence 11 will give you a defence of +11 (+5 flatfooted). It's the exact same thing, only it costs 1 pp less.

Wouldn't you prefer to buy Dodge Focus for 1 pp, as in either case your defence and flat-footed defence will be the same. If you come to buy up defence to 12, then I doubt anyone would object to upgrading dodge focus to a proper defence score.

I'm still here, I just may not update until Monday.

Nope. Popular culture is being up-to-date on popular culture, like music, film and in the FC-verse the superhero community. Supervillain lair locations are not popular culture. :P

Let's meet a strange man in the park who likes recruiting teens in spandex!

So Acute Scent won't pick up anything?

Avenger, is there any distinct odour to a vampire that would make her stand out as anything other than human?

Geckolass looked at Hellborad with an expression of affront. "How could you beat me to it? How?" He shouted up at the window. "Hey, er, dude... well, not now... c'mon on down! We're all in the same boat here! I'm not going to judge!"

Shaen never signed up for this thread, or has indicated to me he would like to :P

I have no idea. I'm using her, but we're all going to get confused anyway. Time to use names more than pronouns, I think.

A quick note: I didn't make up the LGBT bookshop thing. Go read the sub-forum description. See, if I'd picked any other subforum at random...

"Wouldn't go that far," said Geckolass. "I mean, this is Riverside. The place is saturated in LGBT bookshops!" She grabbed Hellbound and tried to pull the new 'her' from the bin. "I don't care if you're wearing heels, I'm not gonna drag you to your feet without some input on your part!"

One sex change, and you're already expecting to be waited on hand and foot? :P

Yeah, at least then we solved the female name for Dark Star. White Star! Now... what the hell do we call Wesley?

For comedic effect, yes. "Doktor... you're hot!"

As Flight operates underwater, Swimming is unnecessary. Now, the Power Reserve is probably illegal, as it's based upon an array structure. And, as that power reserve is inside an array itself... yeah, nested arrays. Bad.

"Hee-hee. You're both very strong," tittered the android, laughing. "Looks like I'll have to use the weapon right away. You're no fun." In a flash of white light, the android exploded, the shrapnel instantly vaporising with a loud hiss. Everyone was hurled to the ground, blacking out upon impact. Just before you all fall unconscious, you feel an unpleasant sensation like your skin crawling all over you. Half an hour later... You all awake to find night well and truly fallen. The blast scattered you all over low walls, into trash-cans, or in Geckoman's unfortunate case, the rest of the way through the wall. The house was deserted, like a lot of the area. That was the reason for the meeting being held here, and unfortunately for the heroes, likely why no police or ambulance seemed to have made an appearance. Geckoman lurched to his feet. Thankfully he'd managed to regenerate most of the damage. Although his legs felt cold, maybe the costume had taken some damage. He looked down. "Oh," he managed. He seemed to now be a fairly slim-built teenage girl. His costume had altered, with a knee-length pleated skirt rather than leggings, and the mid-riff was bared by a large gap in the fabric. "Ok, whoever did the costume switch has slightly creepy tastes. Teenage girls? Dude, that's acceptable for me, but I'm not a supervillain!" raged 'Geckolass'. She reached for her head, to find her mask was gone. She still wore her orange goggles, but instead of having her head covered she had a pony-tail held in place by a scrunchie. The newly-christened Geckolass staggered outside. "Erm... you guys? You still here? There was this blast..."

It would ordinarily be a grapple check, but since she's been pinned by Avenger, we won't bother. Especially with my next post... I never count on people ending a fight by grappling. :x Hero Points for all! Considering that Wesley is a body controller, Doc A is a genius and Avenger is immune to Fort saves, fiating was definitely needed, or else we'd have no adventure. Assume in your descriptions that, as per Silver Age tropes, hair, make-up and costumes changed in addition to your bodies. And the rest did Geckoman good... He's no longer so beaten up.

Skill Mastery would net me this result as well.

Can I borrow your neuralyser? I think we should really start a new edit thread and archive this one, since it all seems to have got confused.

Avenger's punch brought a creak of metal and a dent in the girl's head. As he tried to restrain her, he found stiff opposition but managed to keep a hold of her for now. "Hee-hee-hee," giggled the android (as was now apparent to Avenger). "Why don't you wanna play fair?"

Ultimate power stipulates that Improved Range improves the range increment, but not maximum range, and that Progression improves the maximum range, but not range increment.

Dammit, he's just out of range! Arrowhawk cursed loudly and leapt off of the roof, his grapple line slowing his descent. He grabbed his keys from his belt as he ran towards his bike. See, parking the bike here was a good idea.
