Re: [OOC] Rise of the Champions! [M&M 3.2 Playtest]
@Benoojian, what actor/tress would play BioShock in "Rise of the Champions" the Movie? I'm trying to sort out a pic/token for my map. TIA.

Re: [OOC] Rise of the Champions! [M&M 3.2 Playtest]
So far it's looking like Cthul-Lad will be the first to act and the least perceptive of what's going on. I'm sure there's no way that'll go wrong.

Re: [OOC] Rise of the Champions! [M&M 3.2 Playtest]
@JeminiZero, MGJ's "Soul-Fused" reads "... she will not be affected by powers which specifically target humans only." Of course, she won't be immune to all powers that target humans because she would be invincible. I'm guessing she can't be affected by attacks that might banish her from whatever dimension she's in? Also on her "Blindsight-Biological Radar" is that Darkvision? The sense wasn't included but I just wanted to know how that sense worked exactly?
IC bridge scene posted! Please read only what applies to your character and please don't ignore each other: teamwork makes the dream work Please use the dice roll thread linked above for all rolls please and thanks.

Re: [OOC] Rise of the Champions! [M&M 3.2 Playtest]
As noted in my IC post, I'm away from books and a bit rusty on M&M combat so don't hesitate to point out anything I might've misremebered about how it works.

Re: [OOC] Rise of the Champions! [M&M 3.2 Playtest]
I'm not sure if I missed it. But are we all on the same side of the bridge? Or is Cthul-Lad & Jenova on one side, and Quarry & BioShock on the other side?
Did Cthul-Lad & Jenova see Quarry and BioShock just run past?
A better way of thinking about it, is that she will only be targeted by powers which affect both Humans and Abominations. So a simple punch, or a blast will work, since these can affect both Humans and Abominations. But Dominate Person (limited to humans) will not.
To use banishment (sending back to home dimension) as an example, she cannot be banished, unless it affects both Humans and Abominations. So while on Earth she cannot be banished, since Humans are native to Earth.
Similarly, if she were in the Far Realms, she could not be banished, since Abominations are native to the Far Realms.
But if she were someplace else e.g. Asgard, banishment would work, since banishment on Asgard would work against both Humans and Abominations.
It is Radar, in the modern technological sense. This is because under Senses:
RADIO • 1 RANK
You can “hear” radio frequencies including AM, FM, television, cellular, police bands, and so forth. This allows you to pick up on Radio Communication (see the Communication effect). This is the base sense of the radio sense type. It’s ranged, radius, and acute by default.
This power is actually applied by the Battlesuit archetype:

Re: [OOC] Rise of the Champions! [M&M 3.2 Playtest]
Let's say everyone is coming from the same side (left side of the map). Also you guys have a bonus d20 (Advantage) on your attacks for this first round.
Thanks JeminiZero.
Advantage/Bonus die = roll 1d20 twice and use the higher d20.Last edited by SwordCoastTaxi; 2024-03-06 at 09:45 AM.

@Batcathat: make a DC20 Toughness check (electrical damage).
@JeminiZero: the Mass Teleport is missing Improved Mass so it can affect more than 50 pounds. You need at least 9 ranks (of Improved Mass) to teleport a city bus filled with passengers.

Re: [OOC] Rise of the Champions! [M&M 3.2 Playtest]
The power as designed can't 'port more than 50 pounds. What if we redo the power?
Translocation: Teleport 8, 1 mile, attack, area-burst, selective, subtle, increased mass 10, distracting, unreliable (only 5 uses daily), tiring (-1 Movement until she can rest), Alternate effect
Thoughts?
Shapeable Area is such a small space compared to other options. It's less than 1 m. of volume but that's cool if you want an area-based attack vs. an invisible target for example. But it doesn't cover anywhere near the area of Burst Area. Do you want to change it?

Re: [OOC] Rise of the Champions! [M&M 3.2 Playtest]
It does? It says I can shape 30 cubic feet of area however I want, which should go pretty far if it's stretched out. Or am I reading it wrong?
None of the other area variants really seems like what I'm looking for (which can be a little different depending on context, but in this case is basically a long, thick whip).

Re: [OOC] Rise of the Champions! [M&M 3.2 Playtest]
It takes some math and is a small area which is probably why I can't remember anyone using Shapeable Area before. How would you reshape 30 cubic feet to hit multiple foes scattered across a 3 meter area/radius?
The Combat: Cthul-Lad was only mildly-injured (-1 Toughness checks) by the shock because it's lethal Damage.Last edited by SwordCoastTaxi; 2024-03-08 at 05:04 PM.

Re: [OOC] Rise of the Champions! [M&M 3.2 Playtest]
I think I must be misunderstanding how it works then, I just imagined it to be more or less like a 30 cubic feet "blob" that can be changed into any shape, including stretching it out.
Anyhow, it seems like it might be an unnecessarily complicated way of handling it, so maybe I'll just go with a cone-shaped area, that seems to be the closest to what I'm imagining Cthul-Lad's "whip" to be.

Re: [OOC] Rise of the Champions! [M&M 3.2 Playtest]
You're right it IS a 30 cubic-foot blob that can be reshaped. You just have to explain how it's being reshaped with each attack is all. Cone-area works but without 'Selective' it would strike everyone and everything within the area including friendlies.
Take care of yourself Benoojian. We'll be here when you recover.

Re: [OOC] Rise of the Champions! [M&M 3.2 Playtest]
Alright, that's good. So how would you prefer the explanation, just words or like a drawing or something else? Good point about the cone-area, I'll probably have to add something like that if I do use it.
Also, as a general heads up, I'm out of town and pretty busy until next weekend. I'll be able to post, but might a bit slower to reply than normal.

Re: [OOC] Rise of the Champions! [M&M 3.2 Playtest]
Finally back! So sorry but after a super busy couple of weeks I think I have a more reasonable section going forward.
GM besides the bus are there any endangered civilian types around? That police cruiser is empty right?

Re: [OOC] Rise of the Champions! [M&M 3.2 Playtest]
Posted IC: @JeminiZero I just went with Jenova using a Power-Stunt to 'port the bus to safety. You can post where they ends up (and how the passengers and bystanders react if you like). Due to the Stunt Jenova is Fatigued (-1 Movement) until she can rest. She can burn her Hero point to eliminate the Fatigue or not. That work? The superheroes can take their actions now.

Re: [OOC] Rise of the Champions! [M&M 3.2 Playtest]
I had always thought that to bring along other people, you need Affects Others for Teleport. And that 50lb limit is only for unattended objects. So if you did have Affects Others, the other people and their equipment (if any) did not count against your mass.
Apparently, I was confusing the M&M3e and the D&D3.5 versions of Teleport.
Re-reading the Teleport power:
You can teleport yourself and up to 50 lbs. (mass rank 0) of additional mass a distance rank equal to your effect rank as a move action. Unwilling passengers get a Dodge resistance check to avoid being taken along.
Mass Teleport (19 PP)
*Teleport: 1 ranks @ 7 PP per rank (60 ft/move, Extended Distance Rank 9 - 2 miles)
*Extras: Accurate, Extended, Easy, 30 ft Burst Area, Selective
*Flat Extras: Change Velocity, Increased Mass (x10, 25 tons)
Jenova will then spend a full round action to teleport the people to safety, without needing to power stunt. She will probably wind up at a clearing somewhere behind the police blockade.Last edited by JeminiZero; 2024-03-13 at 08:51 AM.

A trio of pretty dismal rolls to start things off with.
Mistral is in close combat with Cowboy Hat.
