Hopefully, that thread'll help you out, Daelon. I don't watch the show myself, but I recalled that somebody had done some stats for the characters before...

I'm hoping the Iron Man movie will prove entertaining, even if it's just as a good action flick. I personally wouldn't rate Downey or Paltrow as quality actors, but that's just my personal bias (though I have enjoyed some of Downey's work).
I do wonder, however, how much or how little of Stark's addictions (alcohol, the suit, etc.) they'll bother to portray i

Galactus doesn't need magic. His vast cosmic energy powers and such enable him to do pretty much anything he needs or wants to accomplish.
Then again, to many cultures, his vast power and technology is nearly indistinguishable from magic anyways..;)

Danger Sense can easily be developed as a stunt from either Cosmic Awareness or Precognition, IMO, as it shares similarities with both, though it's much more limited in scope.
Danger Sense could also be stunted, to a degree, from Telepathy, IMO. Though, in this case, the Danger Sense likely only triggers in response to hostile thoughts and the like, thus leaving the hero potentially vulne

A very nice little group. It takes a lot of heart and soul to want to help people when one's experienced mostly exploitation and ill treatment.
Mayhap one of these weeks I'll think about digging up and posting a couple more critter-folks of mine -- WarWolf and Kulack the Lizard Man (Kulack requires some translation, as he was originally developed for 2nd Edition AD&D).

I'm in full agreement that courtesy or refusal to acknowledge the flames are the best way to deal with flamers. This would not only take away the attention they want and prevent them from ruining things for others, it would also negate any need for Moderators... And I don't think anyone really wants to come here to have to carefully look for potential trouble when they can instead simpl

While I freely admit my views on TI are naturally colored by personal bias, on the rare occasions I use TI for characters (whether PC or NPC), it's the 2-slot CS adjustment version...
I can't say it's the version as originally presented in the UPB, since I discard the notion that the character's Fighting drops to Typical if his TI is nullified (that always seemed wrong to m

I seem to recall reading somewhere (perhaps in the original Basic Set) about falling damage being 10pts per floor / vertical area of distance fallen (and possibly mentioned as capping out around 150-160pts damage). That, plus damage equal to the Material Strength of the surface you land upon (Excellent/20 for concrete or streets, IIRC) can make for nasty falls from buildings, etc.

TLD, I believe the point of this thread is to simply be a discussion exercise in sharing ideas on what constitutes general politeness and respect for our fellow posters, as well as good netiquette in general -- things it never hurts us to remember and try to practice.
Thankfully, the forums here have generally been far less plagued by flaming, insults, and other boorish behavior than many othe

Of course, you can always have fun with a regenerating character trying to deliberately expose himself to "controlled" amounts of various nasty things in attempts to power stunt Resistance to Disease and Toxins...;)
Or, picture the same character trying to work to stunt Self-Revival..:P

I could definitely see her getting along with certain other deities -- Athena, Hephaestus, Thor...
And, as with someone like Thor, I can see her being underestimated by various egomaniacal villains, on account of not having displayed her "true power" before..;)
