Senator Cybus: If you're still up for it, please go ahead and add Armageddon Unlimited to this list.

Nemo235: It was my pleasure!

APS: Silver is exactly like APS: Metal. They even explain that it will be, but it makes sense for it to be in the book so that creatures vulnerable to silver can be affected by it. People could have just chosen the type of APS: Metal they would be, but that's a similar argument to "just have on...

You could use Yahoo's browser based messenger to similar results: http://webmessenger.yahoo.com/
Also, in my Yahoo mail, on the left side near the bottom, I have a chat box when in my main screen. Maybe that would work for you as well.

Rainmaker from PU3 gives you control over precipitation. Besides that, you've got all of your Control Elemental Forces abilities.

Al Blotto

It's worded oddly, but I think the power states a difference between "APS: Shadow" and "Shadow Form". The first turns you into a flowing, tendrily jet-black, walking 2 Dimensional human while the second consolidates your form a bit and turns you into a regular shadow or gives you...

I am also excited for the release of this book. It should open up plenty of new things for my game.

On the other hand, though, it sucks being the guy who can make things turn into other colors when your teammates can read minds, transmute elements, and project flame. That guy that can make things other colors can also make things transparent, make people's skin ostensibly disappear, become a mast...

Those are good. DeviantArt is a great place to get commissioned art for your characters done. There are lots and lots of people on there doing it for a pretty low price. And some for a not so low price.

Al Blotto

I'd say either Adhesion or Weapon Melding would work.

Who says ME armor has gaps? I agree that the APS should have at least a higher AR, but why can't you cover yourself entirely with a matter expulsion power? The phrase "flexible, bone plates" makes it sound as if there are gaps. When you've got plates, what's covering the space between the...

I've got a question about the Dragon Immortal Power Category in PU2 that a player in one of my games raised. Would a dragon be able to use their Metamorphosis: Human ability to go halfway between dragon and human? Would they be able to have a dragon's tail at human size? Turn their skin into scales?...

So I got through Gramercy Island and then realized that most of Century Station wasn't done either. So I got that in here as well. I still need to go through and make one more pass for all of the characters that are mentioned in NPCs bios, but I believe that I've gotten all of the agencies, special...

Let's start with the powers. Directed Force: This is definitely an awesome major power. I feel like a lot of its aspects are later taken and changed around in Force Manipulation, but they do remain two separate powers with different explanations as to how/why they work. Directed Force only works by ...

Al Blotto

I just started work on including Gramercy Island into this list. I should be done before the end of the month, time allowing.

Answer #179. It should be Normal not Natural.

I think it's pretty damn good. The gasoline analogy makes a lot of sense and it makes the character a lot more aware of their limitations. Definitely nice work. IMHO, I would simply go with the 72 hour limit on being superhuman. This allows for some intriguing adventures where the character (still s...

Al Blotto

Book says you can willingly lend someone your weapon and let them use its powers while you are still in hero form. You can't transform back to your mortal form without the weapon and if separated for more than 72 hours, you transform back into your ordinary form and the sword is inert. Until you are...

With Supernatural Strength, you really don't need all of that extra PS from your skill selections. Your punches are already being grouped for damage every 5 points and you're basically destroying most people that get in punching range. At the very lowest possible application of Supernatural Strength...

EDIT: After reading a bit of VU, I realized that VU was printed before HU2. HU2 includes all of the super-powers that are in VU, and this is what triggered me to realize this. I am going to guess that Glaciator was created prior to making the decision about not using 2 APS powers at once. Unless so...

If a Speed of 5=3.5 MPH then a single speed point=0.7 MPH. Approximately. OR...What Rikonius said.

Al Blotto

Alpha Prime (CS: Page 113)
Bombshell (CS: Page 131)
Deadhead (CS: Page 183)
are all 6th or above and have Super Energy Expulsion.

Al Blotto

Those can also be found on page 188 of Villains Unlimited.

Al Blotto

Because it says "increases the hero's strength to the equivalent of..." I would roll as if you were giving them the power.

Al Blotto

If I recall, "by the book" (not that it matters to us GM's), but I dont think you are suppose to combine EO PS, SH PS and SN PS. Please give me a page-number for that; it would greatly aleaviate my aggrivation with these powers. They break that rule in scrapers. A lot. I mean like 3 or 4 ...

A recent news article about a copy of Action Comics #1 selling at auction got me to thinking about setting a HU campaign in 1938 (the year Action Comics #1 hit the stands). Has anyone ever done this? What were your experiences if you did? Any powers that wouldn't fit? Since I'm thinking of taking t...

We're playing a teen hero game that has some really cool characters cycling through it. There is the psychic girl with a psi-sword and a force field, the bee girl, the time-stopping super-agile skateboarder, the hulk like persian fire god, and lots more... And then there was Mikki. He was the guy wi...

We're actually playing a game in Century Station on Explorers Unlimited with three openings if anyone is interested. It's been amazingly fun so far.

And who cares what it sounds like....simpsons did it or stan lee did No, no, you've got me all wrong. I LOVE Megaman. This is a good thing. can't remember the comic but it had a group of heroes that had temporary powers that they had to call and ask for and got thru some special implants or somethi...

Al Blotto

Would they be temporary use Super-Inventions placed by his agency?

Sounds kinda like Megaman.

Al Blotto

I've had the same problem. Just pages 3-6 though.

Well technically that's from a Detroit TV show, but Robocop exposed the rest of us to it.

What would I ban? What do I already ban? The big one is Invulnerability. Although magic and psionics really hurt this type of character, it generally unbalances the game. How? Well, I have to create villains that can overpower this guy (not necessarily kill, but overpower), and this puts the rest o...

Well, I wouldn't allow a player to simultaneously use powers that logically contradict each other - APS: Fire + APS: Ice, Growth + Shrink, APS: Stone + APS: Smoke (you're either solid or you're not). To Hell with Kel vin , the dirty freak! I kind of agree, but I think something like Growth and Shri...

No offence, but if you are banning powers like winged flight and APS metal? Metal wings are a time honored and perfectly acceptable alternate; (not to break the conversion ban, but there are a couple of heroes with exactly that you know...) That's when you bust out Mega Wings. I can't think of anyt...

No problem. The rule states that if you don't want to use it, you don't need to. It's just something to give GMs an out if they don't want an overpowered game. It says if you can handle it, go for it. I don't use the rule either.

Page 74 of HU2: Characters who might have two different Alter Physical Structure powers cannot use them at the same time; pick one or the other. Of course, the character can transform from one to the other in a matter of seconds, switching back and forth as necessary. Note: Two powers that alter the...

I think it's worth it. Lots of new power categories.

So they'd be Super-Inventions from PU2?

Yeah, for all the power this guy is gonna have, you'd better have an amazing background.

Change the Supernatural to Superhuman and you're good. Supernatural strength is a major power. You've got 1 major and 5 minor powers. How did you do that? I know I use house rules for determining number of powers, but you need to explain how you got this, or even 6 minors if you meant it to be super...
