Seriously, that guy IS the grim reaper.

[Nameless]

Not exactly.
Remus uses the "Energy Drain" power, however he doesn't have the ability to control how much he drains, so he just completely removes the persons life force into his own body, (or the persons "soul") which, because of the settings, makes Remus more powerful.
The Reaper just removes the soul from the body and sends it to the after-life.

EDIT: Also, because Remus is quite a high level, his Energy Drain doesn't have to be used as a touch attack.

[Lyinginbedmon]

Flat-footed means they lose their Dexterity bonus to AC if it's positive (So if you have a negative Dexterity bonus, your AC doesn't improve when you're flat-footed )

Wonder if that means he has sneak attack or something...

That depends on which version of the grim reaper you're talking about, you know.

Blah! Dexterity and Defense is pretty much the same thing but with a fancier name. () And if they loose their dexterity bonus when they're flat-footed to Remus (such as in this case) then they should have -2 in their defense (Dexterity) if attacked.

Nameless Reaper.

Here, Keris found the exact definition from the rule book:

Flat-Footed: A character who has not yet acted during a combat is flat-footed, not yet reacting to the situation. A flat-footed character loses his dodge bonus to Defence.

Which means in this case, they do loose -2 to their defence, dexterity, whatever you want to call it.

[Lyinginbedmon]

Oh gods, did you get that from 4.0? Wash your unclean hands!

Flat-Footed

A character who has not yet acted during a combat is flat-footed, not yet reacting normally to the situation. A flat-footed character loses his Dexterity bonus to AC (if any) and cannot make attacks of opportunity.

This isn't D&D Lying.

No, I took it from the second edition, and passed it on to Nameless. Second is the most recent, there's no sign of 3 so far.

Or 2.5.
Though I hope they won't make a new one any time soon, I like the rules the way they are. Nice and simple-ish.

Except for the damage rules, good god you had trouble with the damage rules

[Green-Shirt Q]

Whatever. As far as I'm concerned, Nameless=Remus. They are the exact same person. Nothing you say will make me feel any differently, Nameless.

Their personality couldn't be any more different.

Mal would also be happy to know that I'm drawing my new D&D character.

Red-cloaked Sorcerer with a fetish for fire spells? Again?

[Keris]

I call him... The Flamebromancer. He shall be my magnum opus. Just like all the others.

[Nameless]

Red-cloaked Sorcerer with a fetish for fire spells? Again?

No, this time it's a Lesser Drow Sorcerer with a Fetish for fire spells.
And no red robes.

I guess that'll be okay, just no sentient magic cars in a mid-fantasy setting again...and no theme parks either.

Awwwwww! You never let us have any fun... ._.

You had the car for two sessions then asked me whether the car could read, I said yes, the next words out of your mouth were "Explosive Runes"

Hey, that's not fair. Jodie made the vehicle inelegant and so that it wouldn't let anyone in unless their alignment was good, which meant I couldn't get in the damn thing even though I paid for most of it.

Remus is in BADASS mode again.

[DoomITP]

The head landing on the bed was funny.

[Green-Shirt Q]

...Something tells me Remus is something of a Mary Sue for Nameless.

If he isn't Nameless himself.

They're just NPC clones, they don't even have names. They're sort of the equivalent of Xykons minions in Oots.
Besides, he is my M&M character, so of course he's going to be my Mary Sue.

[Nameless]

I'm sorry about the lack of updates this week, I've been kinda caught up with both work and social life. (Damn you life!)
When I get hold of Mal, I'll start working on the next issue.

Is that really a feat?

[Nameless]

Well, it's actually a "super feat".

There are feats though. Heh. If the world ends then I expect the cockroaches will still hang around. If the RPG world ends then I wouldn't be surprised to see feats mysteriously appearing other books. There are always feats. Mind you, feats are particularly suited to the superhero genre. Mundane people don't have feats, heroes do. Character generation handles feats in the same way as skills and super powers. You pay power points for them. Feats sit nicely between the two; between the low power of skills and the high power of, eh, super powers. Super-Feats manage not to confuse the issue. Darkvision and the ability to change between your hero costume and your mundane identity are examples of Super-Feats; they're like super powers but not quite.

I think there's also a power that lets you change into your costume in a cool way... There's also one to let you have your own theme tune.

[Keris]

Quick Change: You can change clothes as a free action.

Normally it takes 1 minute (10 rounds) to change clothing.
