That's the GM's job, to remove those factors from the game that make it less fun for other players.
Just out of curiosity, was my build one of the ones that looked too powerful? I'd intended to limit her power by only using APs with certain thematic focus and only summoning the Dragon in really bad situations or when Sarah was otherwise useless but I never really explained that and in retrospect a mage character who can teleport, snipe from a distance, and summon a big 150 pt heroic minion with all his points in combat abilities is a bit scary.

Anybody have any comments on the HQ?

Also, just so I've ID'd every super we've met (given their possible reactions), did we see Bolt yet since returning? If so Bolt - (1d20+15)[23]

Aside from looking good? Well it will definitely come in handy that's for sure. I don't have anything of more use to say on the subject at the moment.

Da Beast: Your build was definitely powerful but it wasn't overpowered.

Ava didn't even channel life energy into Zia yet! xD

Does Ava sense nothing at all that might be different with Zia or Navi? I think it was mentioned that a part of Navi grew back when Ava channelled life energy into her (which was the first instance where that happened without me actually saying she'd do that )

Second of all, the catch is that Zia isn't connected to all of life yet. That's why she is draining anything she touches if she isn't careful, to "fill her up" enough to actually form that connection. I'll assume that what Zia has right now is still so much that the engine can't handle it.

Nah, you weren't even around when the Navimatrix grew back in Navi. You didn't channel energy until she was already on the ground for a bit.

I'm going to wait until I see what Darth Raynn says. Though you may have taken away our early ride home.


Speaking of ride home, how long until our rendezvous with Isiah?

(On the other hand the Navimatrix information did just change her to suit it's need, so it's possible she's actualy connected now.)

Ridai: Correct, her "battery" is too much for the Navimatrix to handle.

KaganMonk: Isiah will arrive in 00:01:23:03

smuchmuch: It is possible this will occur, in which case Zia might start doing a lot worse than jumping alone. Jumping one planet Earth into another might go badly.

Just going to wait on Ridai's reply to post

Well, since you asked, Arcane Lore - (1d20+30)[34]. And if I get at least as much as Vagrant, I'll confirm it.

As for directing an active Navimatrix, I guess we'll just have to wait until Navi lights up next.

Edit: Hmmm... I'm going to guess that's enough?

Bolt's Re-rolled Opposed Grapple Check: (1d20+11)[16] becomes a 26 due to it being a re-roll.

The ruins of Claremont Academy, where Vagrant and Bolt are, is approximately two kilometer from near the center of the city where the others are.

Doctor Dare:

Here's Doctor Dare, probably an alternate costume, as he's heavily Doctor Dire inspired in this one, his coat isn't exactly a trench coat and I couldn't tell if the mask was meant to cover the top or bottom of his face for sure from his description.

Hope you don't hate it Kaganmonk

If it's only a few changes you'd like I'll alter this one to fit your preferences

Actually, that's great. I would have gotten rid of the red and made the hair spikey, but I'm certainly not going to nitpick and excellent representation. And thinking about it, that's probably better than I could ever hope for within the confines of stick figure art. The mask covers well, as I figure that the part protecting the eyes is a clear HUD.

I'll be editing my post here shortly, as I was a bit rushed and thought of all sorts of body language and description I could add.

I'd like to revise Dare's setup slightly, should I post that here or message you? It's no big secret, just trying to give him a little more flexibility in battle. Not necessarily any actual combat abilities, just a little more than shouting at the enemies.

We must sound kind off silly (and counter productive), being three trying to reason a the same time wiht the same guy. :p
Want me to edit my post out ? (since it's likely the most akward and superfluous of the three)

Anyway, Raynn said in chat diplomacy roll were needed so diplomacy (aiding roll to Remembrance) [roll]1d20+4[/roll]

I finally caught up with The Revolution. We have a meeting with the King when we get back. Thank you Diego for distracting everyone until our issue ends.

Oh, and despite being a ragtag group of (future) exiles, we may be one of the most united and powerful groups on Earth. One of the most powerful mages, one of the smartest technicians, an embodiment of Life, and a few people with whom the incarnations of the universe have regular conversations.

You know, I'm left wondering about the titles. Whose Reign are we dealing with?

Then again, I'm not sure letting the Navimatrix anywhere near Omega is a good idea, and I'm not sure who Roland will be willing to let take care of Navi in his absence, so I may need to stay at the base.

Does anyone know who the Magus Supreme is at the moment?

Well who says you guys will know Omega is there until you arrive?

As for the Magnus Supreme, uh... I'm not sure. I think it's still Ellen. Not that she's doing a good job of course.

It's still Ellen.
It's a job for life and unlife, being a ruthless blood sucking undead vampire is not ground for firing as long as you make a token effort to protect your home dimension from evil mystic forced and all...
She's not very good at it since she's a bit too busy trying to storm the gate of hell to get her soul and her lover's soul back (I think at this point it has been prooved that undead sorcerers and love juust dodn't mix well) so heroes like Vagrant pick up the slack.

Uh, Smuch are you sure you want to mention that when Green Bean is already running a game with an undead sorcerer as a PC?

Well, considering Dare called Omega being back first, and we have one of his prized possessions, Isiah might very well tell us. But as you said, redesign those bridges when we come to them.

We certainly don't know yet, since we're still a day and a half in the past compared to the Revolution.

Ellen is the Sorceress Magnus still.

Only Isiah and Jake know for sure that's Hope is Omega, though others know she's somehow connected or related to Omega.

What prized possession do you have of Omega's?

Isiah is most definitely smart enough to know that letting anyone know about Omega may well lead to open war so he's unlikely to bring it up, more likely than Jake too though.
