Dimension book 2: Phase world. Page 35

"Draconids are erect humanoids with long reptilian snouts, bat-wing shaped ears and short, almost vestigial tails....."

I guess that would be a yes.

The only pictures are the covers. It's a novel after all.

Oh, and going back to what you may see their abilities continuing to be after 15, my own list is quite a bit simpler. Level 16: Able to learn 11th level spells Level 17: Able to learn 12th level spells Level 18: Able to learn 13th level spells Level 19: Able to learn 14th level spells Level 20: Able...

As I said, this was my own personal head cannon. Some of the things that caused me to turn Dweomer and the LoM this direction include but are not limited to: 1: How it mentions they all form a bond with their students. I agree, it is not as full or all inclusive of a pact that is formed by witches. ...

Genhuman

Alright. Just going to put this in. It probably won't help any with the discussion. By Cannon, per RUE, you can't go above level 15. As a GM, if I were following this rule, I would say fine. I would allow the person to become Multi-class without the usual penalties. Now we come to the part that is a...

So I guess what you are all saying, is because Doc Feral experiments upon animals, and everyone disagrees upon alignments, good and evil, that means the Republicans (and by nomination, The Donald) have a chance to beat Archie 3 and win the fall election? Or have I missed something here?

Genhuman

Sadly strike bonuses are VERY easy to get. Making AR really easy to make pointless, especially in HU. Yeah, AR is regular with this spell. That being said, One of my common House Rules is to make it NAR in the HU setting. Since strike bonuses are so easy to get, doubly so in HU, it still becomes a ...

The powers that be; A turn of phrase that basically means the authorities over.....etc. Since Glitterboy2098 already posted the definition, I won't go into it again. While it would be an interesting thought exercise to go and say, Hey, what if "The Powers That Be" was an actual entity(ies)...

Genhuman

And in case you are wondering, the end result was.... some of our own teammates tipped off the enemy leadership ahead of time, and they were able to teleport in reinforcements in a matter of a couple of minutes, instead of a couple of hours it should have taken. We were forced to withdraw. Back on t...

Genhuman

They really need to stat out animals though and give them horror factors. My character, not in Eli's game, has +7 to physical prowess that carries over to animal forms but it's a best guess call what the animals PP is and whether that +7 PP will give any bonus. You mean like....Monsters & Anima...

Genhuman

RP heavy game...so why not Divine Aura, Ex-MA, Ex-PB... maybe Ex-IQ for some extra skills....

Genhuman

You keep your memories and skills. Hand to hand is a skill. Hand to hand is the main factor in your APM.....

Genhuman

I think I see the problem there. If all you do is measure things in terms of combat bonuses....

Personally, I agree with Eli on this one. I have always found Animal Metamorphosis, with or without limitations, to be extremely powerful and useful.

Genhuman

I didn't realize that Thread Necromancy was a Cantrip.

Genhuman

Or how about this, back when the power was written, the only thing/power that would affect damage other that the +4 from h2h assassin, and PS bonus was Bio-Armor with a 1d6 bonus, iirc. I just apply my own logic to the power. It makes sense to me. The damage comes from the channeled energy, and no w...

One of my alternate timelines had the experimental vanguard unit pushback the Federation of Magic attack, at the cost of the lives of almost all the mages....Which meant that there was no cause for Joseph the First to launch is purge. The result is that vanguard mages are regarded as Heros of the C...

Genhuman

As always, love seeing you and your groups hijinx. Can't wait to see what else is coming up.

Genhuman

Yes, HF is generally only rolled upon initial contact. Then again, if you are so inclined, it can also be situational (something I have used from time to time). Example 1: You arrive on the scene and you see godzilla attacking Tokyo. You roll HF to see if you can muster up the courage to face the me...

Genhuman

If its just in terms of a cool backstory, can go with either a mutant or an experiment character with an interesting tale to spin around the campfire.

If the goal/result is to gain more powers than a mutant or experiment would have normally, you would be treading in the realm of the mega-hero.

Genhuman

I have done this before as a player, and toyed with it as a GM, assigning a secret minor power to each PC, an have them discover it through play. As a player, I have rolled my number of powers before, taken one power, and left the rest of the slots open to signify powers they he may not even know he...

Genhuman

Should also ask...by online, do you mean in a chat room, or PbP, or skype, or...etc?

If looking for a chat room game, one happens in the chat rooms here on Sat and Sun mornings.

Genhuman

I am playing a HU2 game and one of the players brought up a thought and I wanted to bring it here. Heroes train their bodies with melee combat skills so that they can fight the 'bad' guys, right? Why is it then the 'good' guy can use his bonus to strike (with his hands and feet) to hit with his eye...

Genhuman

Personally, in the games I run, I just incorporate the rule found in Aliens Unlimited. (I know, not a PF sourcebook....). Basically, it states that a shield provides a +2 to parry. (Will be able to look up a page number after I get home.) W.P.Shield, of course, adds on top of that. Its what I do, bu...

Genhuman

.... and don't forget to check out the Hunter/Vigilante OCC, to see his skill with traps and such.

Genhuman

yes. Will part two be coming along any time soon?

Genhuman

That was done to a limited extent with the True Atlanteans and their Pyramid magics. The Pyramids keep any random rifts from opening and control the flow of mystic energies along connection ley lines. The only real issue with your suggestion is no force in the world has enough power to dominate it....

Genhuman

I would wish for: * Rifts: China 3 (Chinese Magic) * Rifts: Australia 2 (Australian Magic) * Rifts: Antarctica (secret forgotten cities and research stations, 2 millenium tree at the poles, Lake Vostok, ice dragons) * Rifts: Polynesia (Easter Islands, taboos, cannibalism, surfing,) * Rifts: Lazlo *...

Genhuman

Let me add my welcome as well.

Can't wait to see what you contribute here, and read more blog entries.

Genhuman

Seems simple enough. Powerful mage #1 wins init, and foolishly starts casting Anti-magic cloud. It Takes 3 melee actions to complete. 1st lvl mage #2 casts, energy bolt, or fire bolt. It only takes 1 melee action to complete. (or even whips out an energy pistol and fires it) Powerful mage one takes ...

No

What he said.

Genhuman

His hand to hand and W.P. staff would remain frozen at 4th level, until his priest level got up to 4th level, and then they would advance with his priest levels, per the rules as written.

Anything other than that would have to be a house rule.

Can they reproduce with OTHER human beings or are they strictly limited to cloning themselves like a cell? If they in fact CAN reproduce with other creatures, could it be something like an Asari from Mass Effect that can mate with ANYONE? Thoughts? IIRC they are sterile and only reproduce asexually...

Yeah. I looked at it, but a large part of the 'Agent" and "operative" catagories is that they work for a government or large company or the like. The type I'm trying to make works for himself, and funds himself. So he's his own boss. But thank you. Understood. I just had him working ...

Genhuman

I have found that the secret operative has made a pretty good version of this. I mean, they are used to using various gadgets. (And you can simulate the issued gadgets per mission to, gadgets currently carried, etc) They have a great set of skills that help to investigate the non-supered way. Just m...

Genhuman

Personally, this is how I would "rule it" if I were the GM. I would simply ask him, why does he have MGG? What is your concept and why would this martial art be a part of it. Depending upon how the player answered, I would rule, yay or nay. If its clear to me that the player only wants it ...

The dripping blood doubles SDC damage.
The covered in flames does MDC damage of the usual SDC damage.

I would say, no, you can't combine dripping blood and covered in flames, per the book. However, if you have a permissive GM....etc.

Genhuman

1) Personally, with cantrips, I would not increase the effect per level. Its just too minor of a magic to let experience make it stronger, as it is barely strong enough to make an effect in the first place. 2) If someone needs to roll a save, I would make it easier to save than a normal spell, for t...

Good luck to the priest hanging with those dudes!

he'll convert em. Its what insidious dwarven priests do, isn't it?

Anyway, let me add my welcome to the boards as well.

Genhuman

just summon rats get a wood chipper and repeat until you get enough ppe Lol, thats just awesome, quick question though... Would it actually work? Some say yes, some say no. Depends on if your GM requires you to ritualistically kill each rat or not. Even then you can still build up quite a bit of PPE.

It is only physical attacks he has to be aware of to block. On the drug question, if he was not currently immune to anything, and was hit with a poison or drug, he would not be effected. If he were immune to something, he would be effected, if he switched his immunity, he would not break the curren...

Just wanna say, from our group, thanks for putting up your sandbox for us to play around in. Will probably change to a different setting anow, as the GM almost pulled off a TPK this past Friday. (I was the only survivor

)

Once again, thanks.

Genhuman

The power seems pretty straight forward to me. You automatically become immune to the first attack leveled at you in a combat situation. If you would like to change what you are immune to, it takes a concious decision to become immune to it. For instance, say someone blasts you with a shotgun. You b...

Personnaly, I would just use the Imbued power catagory from PU2. Guy places his hand upon the life sized statue of Bubba Hotep. Mutters the magical activation phrase "Bruce Campbell is a god," and has the use of his powers for a proscribed period of time. After that time, he needs to retur...

Genhuman

Good point. I guess I was thinking if they pulled it out in the now, not that they were carrying it around with them as some sort of grizzly trophy.

Genhuman

Thats just it. It will regenerate the missing parts of its body. The Alien Intelligence is not in the body (Unless you have a house rule saying vampirism is from some slug or something that replaces the heart).

Take out the stake, and the vamp will regenerate.

Genhuman

Pretty simple really. In less than 15 seconds, you will have a pissed off vampire to deal with. That is why you burn both the head, and the body, in seperate fires, and then scatter the ashes. If you don't burn one, the rest can come back.
