Re: You may call him "Commander"

Reincarnation - Add your Reincarnation dice (as well as other abilities that may apply) to any dice roll to see if you return to the land of the living, barring any issue that might prevent that of course which is typically through some issue the GM has declared either as background or weaknesses t...

Re: You may call him "Commander"

Admittedly, the overall timeframe levels is quite similar. Only real difference is that the former takes time for that particular ability to be used while the latter has the ability's effect emerge gradually over time. Probably should word that bit different and possibly add in a notation about the...

Re: You may call him "Commander"

Cobra with Cybertron tech is an interesting concept. Does sound like the Transformers in that continuity are rather buggered (as Cobra Commander seems to have found them before they woke up), which is somewhat more disappointing. Also, "Prompt Use" seems to be just "Postponed Use"...

Re: Ammunition flaw

It would probably be slightly beneficial to note that a normal reload time would be approximately a Turn, though this can be increased to a Round or longer as cassius335 suggested to lower the cost of the weapon/ability itself. Granted, there's already a Weakness that can simulate the Reload time, ...

Re: Ammunition flaw

Then let's name it something else? Because ammunition in the context of gaming is usually referring to weapons whether handheld or bigger. I'd have to agree. Having a flaw called "Ammunition" that seems to assume the spare ammo is a day away is very strange. A name change to something mor...

Re: Ammunition flaw

Maybe your games pan out differently from mine, but I’m hard-pressed to think of a case where a character makes anywhere near 20 or 30 attacks without a period of rest in between. Certainly not often enough to warrant any Endurance cost negation. You may want to consider Activation instead, or Requ...

Re: Hi there! I'm new and I have questions.

Speaking of Go-Busters While we're here, I'd argue chickens are a level 3 Accidental Transformation 8) Simpler than that: Red Buster would have Level 3 Fear. Blue Buster would likely be the same "Transformation with Trigger" setup Miho uses. Yellow Buster would be... Dependency (sweets), ...

Super speed. How would you handle it? My gut says a refluffing of Time Freeze, but I could be way off. Thoughts?

Re: Hi there! I'm new and I have questions.

I have another question! Super modes for transforming heroes. How might you achieve them? Double-stacked transformations seems like an answer, but that way also lies madness. Thoughts? I'd quite like an answer on that one myself. It's bad enough for most Sentai. Then people try to model the Neo-Hei...

Re: Hi there! I'm new and I have questions.

I intentionally avoided “merged forms” in the rules because it’s doesn’t play nicely with groups. It’s all well in good to watch a show and root for their combined super-robot form, but in a game, you have to resort to either A) One player calling the shots *snore* B) awkwardly divvying up responsi...

Re: Hi there! I'm new and I have questions.

Second, any thoughts on combining into a single super robot form? I can kind of sort of see that working as a funky form of Transformation, but the specifics seem...Weird. Any thoughts? There is a brief mention of Sentai in the OVA manual, so presumably the potential's there somewhere. Maybe someon...

As Handsome Jack would say "I'm racking my brain trying to think of a name for this diamond pony", where for me "name" = "value" and "diamond pony"= "threat value".

I do appreciate your take on it.

No worries.

Re: Trying to figure out Miho's TV

Looking at it myself it seems like if you don't count the Combat Expert from the transformation it comes out as 20 and with the transformation it does seem to be 22, so possibly because the transformation isn't a permanent adjustment (like a point in Strong would be) it isn't counted? (Which is a b...
