@Billy Ha!

I'm interested in this evolution of Muse is that just how you designed him?  Is there some power that he uses for it?

In reply to Nightmare (msg # 927):

To be clear, I'm not requiring Rebecca to re-roll. But if she wants to stay behind on Amg, she will have very little to do in any story arc that isn't based there. Thus, a re-roll is probably warranted if indeed Rebecca decides to remain behind.

In reply to The Watcher (msg # 928):

^ This.

Actually I didn't make that decision with any intention of rerolling, it just went that way.  It was the correct answer for the character at the time.  It's exactly what she would have done.

It's also not a terrible ending for her character -- in terms of a place to leave the camera with the confidence that she'll be ok and perhaps even thrive while pursuing her passions and helping humanity.

I'm not just saying this because I'm longing for a world without AOE fears and phasing, either!

Not entirely.

Now you'll get to work on those soft skills.



It's his character's natural arc combined w/ not feeling like I've specialized the char very well (not bad for first Marvel game, though). The powers will be an outgrowth of his darkforce connection -- think of an ascension from physical form to pure (or mostly pure) energy. Also, it's been fun writing him, but I've changed a lot personally since I created him 6 months ago, and it's odd to take myself back into that place I was in every time I pick him up. This game is as much therapeutic as it is entertainment for me.

Of course I've only barely spoken to Watcher about this so we shall see.

But yeah, if you're rolling someone new and I'm respeccing, we should probably chat to make sure we don't overlap too much.

You can take some time to digest if you'd like. I won't advance that arc until you decide what you'd like to do.

meanwhile team kamikaze is waiting on Xander's input on the dead-eye plan.

also I stand by the possibility that Billy screws up humanity's first intergalactic diplomacy, depending on exactly how all this shakes out.  He definitely wouldn't have gone for those protectirate terms had he been present.

In reply to Billy Laser Fist (msg # 933):

I believe we're still paused on both fronts until Xander and Rebecca, respectively, chime in. Not rushin' you, but observing in case the weekend robbed you of your memories :)

In reply to The Watcher (msg # 934):

The weekend robbed my of my ability to supinate my right hand. Krav Maga, man.

In reply to Muse (msg # 935):

"You're hurt? I can fix that for you..."

In reply to Denise Olsen (msg # 936):

But seriously, that sucks man. I hope it heals up quickly!

In reply to The Watcher (msg # 937):

My favorite part about injuries are they force me to do something different with my life. Cuts down on indecision by process of elimination.

Yeah man, been there.  Krav Maga injuries are a very real thing.  I didn't even know you were in classes.  What were you doing when you hurt your hand?

That sucks, I've been there. FWIW, losing full use of a hand temporarily can definitely force you to diagnose and fix deficiencies on the other part of your body. My thumb was the best thing to happen to my fencing, as it forced me to go leftie for a while. Regardless, I hope it heals up quickly and fully.

Unrelated, sorry I've been AWOL guys, life got unexpectedly busy. I apologize for leaving you all hanging.

In reply to Xander (msg # 940):

SHOOT THEM IN THE FACE!!!!!!!!!!

Hope all is well with you though :)

If he hits a gun, it will only be in passing as it makes its way toward whatever's behind the gun. And whatever's behind that. And whatever's behind THAT.

I had JUST started! That's the worst part. First day at "Fight Church" (1 hour of freeform partner drills and sparring). I was just blocking a goddamn punch. A tendon or ligament on the ulnar side hopped over a wristbone and went back again. POP! Fun. I've got 270 degrees of motion before pain begins. Ice is life, and no pushups for a week or so.

I could, hypothetically, blow a ton of karma on a triple disarm with my electro discharge though. That doesn't have any risk of going through walls.

Am I the only one flabbergasted at what is essentially a walking tank precision-shooting a gun out of someone's hand?  That shit is badass enough when you're using a rifle, but if I saw an M1 Abrams disarm someone with a shot from its 105mm main gun, I'd be all like, "Sorcery!"

In reply to Fiernas Holm (msg # 945):

That is precisely why we're having this conversation, because in this case "bullseyeing" the gun out the guard's hand is not going to be the end of the shot's trajectory.

But yes, it IS sorcery. Technological witchery!

In reply to The Watcher (msg # 946):

Xander needs to use his regular gun. I.e. Pistol.

In reply to Muse (msg # 947):

I doubt his regular gun has better range than the one we stole.

In reply to Billy Laser Fist (msg # 948):

OK. So Timon lets Xander borrow it for a sec. Hey I wonder, if this helix shooter is two shots -- can each shot hit a different target?

In reply to Muse (msg # 949):

Same problem. If you're in range with that pistol, you're also in range of THEIR pistols.

In reply to Muse (msg # 949):

also I get the impression that it's a rather tight helix, so it would take some very fancy shooting to hit multiple targets.
