I bet Kat will have a Fatty McGee poster in her bedroom. Seriously though I'm loving the submissions I've received so far. I'll give this the weekend to get any CADs in and will try and get things started on Monday or Tuesday. I will still consider submissions after that as well.

I bet Kat will have a Fatty McGee poster in her bedroom. If he's even known a little around town/the Internet/whatever, she might very well have one... and have written several fanfics about him. XD Awesome. ^_^ |

Definitely has potential. If you could find a way to pull it off without it killing him, would be neat if he could remove his limbs and use charge object on them. Exploding Head Fastball anyone?

Regrow lost limb
Charge object
Control animals (body parts)
Healing factor (cost 1w to detach but you heal right back up)

Just saying, but wouldn't 'Telekinesis' be a better action to properly reflect the sort of control you would have?
Like...
Telekinesis: AN
(Int.bonus)
-Strength is AN or user's own, whichever is lower (-1)
-May only manipulate own body parts, or other objects through use of detached body parts (-1)
Just my 2 cents. It seems to give you more direct control, while the GM would have it more if it was a 'Control' thing... or so it seems to me.

I actually thought of TK originally when I saw this, but the numbers end up very much in favor of the control
TK has a couple nasty limitations first you will have to spend 1 point per body part and then 1 point per 10 feet distance. If you want to send a hand the most you can do is 90 feet with tk 10(taking 10 stones a turn). That is distance 2 on the D&R which is the exact same distance that you get with charged objects anyway.
Control animals would probably work better. specific species -1 can only control -1 works at a range of 4 and you only have to spend 1 stone (because of no need to summon) while getting a number of body parts equal to the AN (sending an eyeball with a hand to see what you are going after would work.)
Also Summon/Control acts as telepathic control the GM doesn't actually have a say, well no more so than he ever does, in your action.

Ok, wow. You know what? I had never noticed the 1 stone per 10 feet rule thing until now.
That has got to be the stupidest and most inaccurate rule I have ever seen in the system so far, especially considering how it is based on Marvel universe telekinetics. Starting from this moment onwards, I will forever ignore this rule in all the future games that I will GM, ever.
IMO, TK should have a base range of 4, like Force blasts and Telepathy.

I do the same (range 4) but I don't assume such things with other people's games. I also do not increase how difficult something is to hold on to the longer you do. If your regen is up to the task it really does not make sense to me that you can't hold onto it.
But I hope you see why I chose the ability I did for this. Also, if you ever decide to dm a game let me know.

Neither do I as long as I know they exist, lol. You can, however, suggest the house rule to an understanding GM. Especially in the case of such a stupid and pointless rule.
Agreed. If it doesn't work like this for regular lifting, it would be absurd to do so with TK.
As long as TK does not suffers from the two aforementioned flaws, I still believe TK to be more accurate to what you're trying to represent, though. But yes, I understand.
Got'cha.

I am going to make you flip a table... It does work like that for regular lifting. Look under weight technically She hulk cannot hold a law book for more than 5 panels before it starts draining her energy.

Yep so much is house ruled by people and they don't even realize it. Because the system is fucked. But when we forget all that stuff and run it like it makes sense to us the game is much more fun.
Sorry Cosmicstoryteller for doing this in your thread but I like rules discussions and I just could not help myself on that last one.

True. I house ruled those things automatically because I just assumed they had handled it the same way as other well made things in the system. I guess I gave them too much credit. But still... yeah, I think so, too. MURPPG is a heavily flawed game which becomes one of the best ever when properly house ruled. (Don't let WK ever find out I said that. He would invent a new swear word for me alone, lol. .......J/k, he already knows I think like that. lol.)
Yup, apologies, Cosmic-sama. We got kind of off-subject here.
