The goal of Jase was to make Ian appear present when he actually disappeared. He wasn't going to reveal himself right out so you can just take the course of action you already posted about (shrugging off the threat and going out with friends) and Ian wouldn't be the wiser.

You can still hold a grudge against him as he'd most likely oblige if you cross him.

Also, I'd cut the whole 'references' thing out for now until we actually cement what we're referencing to. So try and start anew but, past people you've met, you can wave and call by name if your character remembers them.

Thanks, TeChameleon I'll give it a shot eventually >_> not really a computer guy tho...

And Ess, I will! I just have no clue where to start T_T

Should it be basic info about the school? Or maybe just make a page for Ian for now to get it started...I really don't know...

Also, what should and shouldn't (or doesn't need to) be linked to stuff? We don't need links to posts talking about crap. Do we even need links to the thread in general? What about pictures!? AAAAAHHH!!





AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!

I hate wasting threads, Blarg! *GGGRRRRRR*

But I'm going to start my painstaking sift through the old thread to start gathering info for the SH101 wiki....

I had *some* info saved but that's on my old harddrive on my old PC...I wonder if I can just sorta add the old HD to what I have now

<QR>

Another solution to dealing with KB users that have issues using their KB properly:
-Take your own KB powers and put the foes in the right spot. Fling them in a corner so they'd have to intentionally try to F up and scatter by leaping in the corner themselves or if they toss a foe (or will toss a foe) in a difficult direction, knock the ****er the other way. You'll ultimately end up with a target that can't do crap so it's win win....

One other point I don't believe was mentioned:

It looks frikken cool!!!

Sure you can feel powerful by popping a big orange number over the foe's head and deplete their green bar to 0, but then you can do the same and fling them half-way across the map!! Then you can slot for more KB and blast them the other half too!

@ all the "and while you're at it..." posts,

This is why J only has 84 posts

Even tho I don't play SoA, thanks for lookin out J ^^

Certainly, certainly...but I haven't a clue how to work a wiki-thingamajigger either. Can't be that hard tho, rite?

Anyway, the holiday weekend is over so start the thread already!

IMO, it's no so much that your idea is bad but it's just ill thought out and doesn't take into consideration everything within the game's engine.

First of all, pain prevention/threshold in the game and within classic PnP RPGs is covered by HP. And it makes sense. If you have more HP, you can withstand more punishment. Resistance works similarly but on a different level and can stack with Max HP improvement. It's the general logic of why Tankers are just more durable.

Secondly, regeneration. Everyone has it but to different extents. Just because that invulnerable man took a tiny bit of damage from a bullet doesn't mean he's less invulnerable, especially because that bullet took 2.5sec to shoot and did 22dmg yet the invulnerable man regenerates 15HP every second. Also, because regeneration is % based, the more pain you can withstand and the more hardy/healthy you are, the quicker you'll recover from injury. Your suggestion doesn't do that.

Thirdly, defense is *not* only skill based just like resistance isn't just durability based:
-defense can be a deflection from an ill aimed attack or one that just isn't effective (Stone Armor and Invulnerability)
-defense can also be based on a particular shield or barrier to ward off certain attacks (Energy Aura def, Willpower's specific psy defense)
-defense can also be an attack was taken but the damage was completely nullified right after (Regeneration's Moment of Glory)
-resistance can be 'rolling with the punches', i.e. you take the punch but you let your body move in such a way that it doesn't take the full momentum of the attack (Super Reflex's resist passives)

So you really have a lot more ground to cover if you want to make a *full* suggestion regarding protection across powersets. And that idea for 'protection', while intriguing seems rather difficult to balance. Either an endless mass of minions will be unable to do any damage to you or your protection would do practically nothing vs a boss.

None of these ideas scream "Mutant" and/or downright don't exude *anything* conceptually (you can't even *see* a passive fitness power).

Now when I think of a Mutant, I think of someone constantly changing. Evolving. So what about a click power on a long rech, that randomly gives you a temp power. What those temp powers are? I dunno. But they could create a few new powers and mix them with a few choice temp powers already in game. The charges/durations could scale with lvl, possibly?

How long have you been playing?

Although alt-itus doesn't tend to 'go away', time is on your side. So long as the world isn't going to explode next year, just play what you want.

Also, there are things outside of Scrapper too. Brute? Stalker? MM? Blaster? Doms can go a long ways in a fight too.

((Pfft, nvm))

Eyes shifting toward the crying congressman then back to Acid, Jase snickered and his cute little grin didn’t fade. “Look at the state you have the poor fellow in? He’s bargaining with kids to get away from you.” Without deviating his eye, Jase swatted the marshmallow bazooka out of his face using the back of his hand as he moved past the lighthearted child and gripped the congressman under the arm. “You can thoroughly question him inside now that he’s awake,” he suggested, his face turned serious but only for a moment as the grin reappeared, “or do you need your buddies in the sky to tell you what to do?” To supplement his grip, Jase now pulled the congressman with surprising strength.

Still shaking and blood smeared on his face and hair, the boy in the basement looked upon the ensuing battle with a worried look. He wiped the blood from his eyes as he pushed himself up on his knees. The only thing left he could do was get away.

Raising up his right arm, the boy raised his hand with his palm opened to the ceiling yet he kept his head looking toward the ground. He held his arm up for a couple of seconds before quickly bringing it down and slapped his palm to the floor again. He lay still a long moment before crawling to the nearest wall and pulling himself up to limp through the broken doorway.

I guess it would depend on what effects we're talking about here. But as is now, you don't *need* the stun to proc to be useful but when it does, it's nice. You don't *need* the kb/kd to proc but when it doesn't, you frown. (and aside, you probably won't care if the immobilize procs or not)

What effects would be appropriate to this suggestion for MA anyway?
-Stun, yeah perhaps in at least 1 extra attack
-KB/KD/KU of course and definitly KD in EC
-Immobilize I guess
-Hold perhaps if aimed at the gut could fit in Crane
-Sleep, might fit in Cobra as a sort of 'judo chop' unconscious slap

-resist would be cool in Cobra
-Dmg could be spread in alot of the attacks as a kind of 'martial arts bout' attacking the enemy's attacks
-ToHit I think it'd be fitting in DT as you're kind of ducking to make the attack and slipping up the foe unexpectedly
-slow movement could also be spread through various attacks

For the debuffs, if -dmg and -slow is spread through all the attacks, you'll probably have the chance of debuffing one or the other if not both so long as you're attacking the enemy. The -ToHit would fit well in DT because, so long as 1 foe is debuffed that's more chances of you not being hit ontop of them possibly being on their rear end. The -res in cobra, so long as you're using it often to mitigate damage, there's the possibility it'll increase the damage of your other attacks over time.

So yeah, you wouldn't rely on them procing but would be there to enhance your survival if you're using the attacks properly.

Jase grinned and giggled to himself at Dire’s response. He tried to quiet himself by covering his laugh with the back of his hand but the chuckle just seeped out through his teeth. He stopped laughed to himself long enough to notice Dire flying past him toward the hospital. “Geez, it was a joke,” he huffed after her before she disappeared through the open doors.

“I hate Paragon,” Jase pouted, turning back to the group standing outside the hospital. “You try and do anyone a favor around here, like lightening the mood with a joke or shadowporting them to the hospital and what do you get? Nothing.” Actually turning to Acid and the congressman he continued his conversation with hand gestures and all, “But that’s better than the other crap they complain about. Am I right? It’s either ‘Waah! Stop resisting arrest!’ or ‘Boo hoo! You killed too many hostages!’. It’s bad enough they complain about every little street block you blow up or a building arson here and there but even when you try doing something good, like rescue someone they still curse your name…sure you turn them over to someone even worse than you rescued them from but *still*!...”

Jase kept raising his voice when the noise and music about them got louder and kept swatting a hand at the struggling man in Acid’s grip to keep him calmed down but apparently he’d have none of that which was made clear by all the gasping and hoarse pleas for help he was scratching out.
