To the original post, a magical item must be worn in it's intended manner to operate. Magical boots don't work on your hands, magic bracers won't work if you put them both on one arm, and a magic mask is useless belted to your waist. Rings need fingers.* I do have a homebrewed common magical item I ...

I have been unable to find the answer in any of the rules so I thought I would post my problem here and see what people know or think. Do full suites of armor, environmental body armor, and power armor interfere with the casting of a spell stored in a Talisman? The same way that they interfere with...

Dude, if you're getting insults from literally anything I've said, that's your paranoia. When I insult someone, it's to their face and directly. I do find it hi-fracking-larious that you take offense in the same thread where you posted a snarky trollpost about *some ignorant person* taking things i...

I don't even restrict super inventions to specific classes. In my games I allow players with the appropriate skills to come up with scientifically dubious gizmos, contraptions, and extrapolations of other tech.

I was only noting that the situation was not supported in the real world. and only that. As such your belittling of what I said could be taken as trolling.

Transmutation, Divine Aura, and Grant Powers is a path to cash, sure. Have you ever tried Grant powers, Regeneration, and a flight power?

I thought everyone used "Arrowverse Magical Technology." in their HU games. Scanners scan for basically whatever is needed. Satellites track radiation, chemicals, and even sound. Pocket sized dimensional breachers and belt-worn shrink rays are all a thing, and the speed of light is just s...

Agreed. Everything stacks, and PPE is determined by the Godling RCC, not the #10 classes. Yes, it's overpowered. No, none of those munchkin ideas you're having are new. Yes, apparently other magical classes are also acceptable. Warlocks are fine, but have only one life sign, not dual life signs unl...

Well Your GM is using physics alternate to the real world for his game. Of course they are. They are playing a superhero magical roleplaying game. Yes, they are bending reality to fit what they want to happen. GMs do that. I there is value in saying it out loud, cause *some ignorant person* might t...

Any magical weapon in HU is unique, coveted, and priceless. There is no conversion because such things are NEVER for sale. In the case of a rare find being sold for reasons , it would be auctioned, and the price will be in the high nine, maybe 10 digits. Every person or organization with the cash wi...

Warbabies are nice, but have you met the monk of murder a few pages before? That necromancer supplement changed my games.

That or the Demon Lord...they are about the same power wise within the initial template.

I 100% used it as an excuse to add a demented entity that believed itself a skelebot's ghost, if that counts as "using" it. Also, as a honeypot for skelebot fights, that's always great. Tell the players the BigHonkinRobot 9000 is broken and they're gonna have to pay for an expensive doohic...

1. Yes with the exception of P.P.E. which is 3D4X10+20 +4D6 per level. 2. Same as above. P.P.E. is 3D4x10+20 +4D6 per level 3. I believe, and this is pure opinion, that they would stack. Powers Unlimited 2 for Heroes Unlimited has rules for making Godlings too but I doubt that's what you are lookin...

You might want to delineate between Rifter material, just because while "optional" doesn't diverge all that much from "official" there are things like Giga-Damage Guns. In HU an Erishek Doppleganger can be tacked on top of any character which isn't a creature of magic, supernatu...

1, No. If the text doesn't grant progression, there is none. The text says they get an additional spell per level from Spell levels 1-10.

In my games I've simplified movement to SPD X 5 feet per action, and an action must be spent to move, but can be added to any other action. That seems irrelevant to this... is this an argument?

The Big Book of Juicers page 133 says the coalition intended to wipe out 15-20% of the North American juicer population, killing 30-40 thousand juicers.

Simple conversion of speed to MPH, multiply SPD by 0.68

For SPD to KPH, multiply SPD by 1.09

Going the other way, MPH to SPD is MPH X 1.46

and KPH to SPD is KPH X 0.91

Those numbers should be close enough for government work.

Riffing on past fiction can lend verisimilitude.

Why not use established public domain characters? I mean sure, you don't have to. But if you want to then what not.

Well, I think it's a given that if your fly item breaks the item is no longer functional as a ride.

But the object would hit t...

Sure, if you actually get the suit it absorbs you and creates a new Riathenor character, but it's still the ABSOLUTE Coolest armor ever, See HU: Aliens Unlimited Galaxy Guide Pp109 for details.

I found a better one. In the Phase World Sourcebook page 70 we have the Avenger power armor. Again, described as a powered exoskeleton but the body has 825 MDC, with an additional force field at 200 MDC. And it can do Mach 4 in air and Mach 10 in space. Thanks to the anti-matter power system it doe...

I think you're halfway to building it yourself. Why not write up a description of the armor you imagine should exist, and then post it here. The community can chime in with suggestions and revisions, and you can effectively crowdsource a new piece of equipment. Getting GM approval may be harder, but...

Nice experiment, though it does rely on circumstances beyond the player's control. Odin, time travel, and similar events are a per-GM thing, so YMMV.
