@ThatOneDude As was mentioned previously, there's the trade off of attack and damage, but there is a feat that lets you reduce your defense in trade off for bonus attack. So instead of having +8 to hit with a damage of 12, and a 14 toughness with a 6 defense, you'd go to +12 to hit with a damage of 12, 14 toughness with a 2 defense.

Thing is, a 6 defense isn't dodging crap to begin with, you're built around /taking/ the hits, so losing 4 defense? That's nothing.

And that's just one way in which the PL system gets skewed. There are several Feats that all break the PL system.

You know what. Fuck off and die Theno. I mean that.

I'm done with you.

@Thenomain /I/ didn't make the connection you fucking assmunch.

THE GAME DESIGNERS DID!

@Ex-FaviIIa-Surgo He's been doing this shit to me for months now, insinuating I said something I did not say.

In this case, I was pointing out the game systems standards, not /my/ standards.

Just tired of his fucking shit.

@Thenomain No. I am not. Jesus fucking christ Theno. I am saying that the SYSTEM you are fucking ASKING about equates Charisma to be those things.

You know what, fuck you. You cannot help but be a complete douchebag anymore.

Fuck off.

@Thenomain Yes. Because in ShadowRun, Charisma is a combination of personality, magnetism, and appearance.

@Thenomain Elves can be pudgy and fat. They just by default are more charismatic. Doesn't mean they can't still have a 1 base charisma, and end up being human average, which... can be pudgy or even fat

@Ominous That's the thing, there's a lot of different systems but /none/ of them really translate to MU* format well. You can hack Fate or use one of the Fate super settings, that works well for cinematic stuff. You can go the opposite route and go with say, Hero System.

Honestly... if you can successfully patch afflictions, and fix the broken feats that totally alter your power scale... then M&M isn't /bad/ per se.

As for changing the world, this needs to be possible. Nothing is more game killing for a super hero game (for me) than knowing that no matter what I do... it doesn't matter to the game world at all.

@Runescryer Not just the affliction rules, though that is a huge one, but things like power attack, and other feats that trade hit for defense, which are easily abused by high toughness characters. So they can break out huge attacks, with huge chance to hit, and because their toughness is so high, they don't usually care if they get hit in return.

I am all for OC games, just wish it used a different system that isn't so easily broken.

@Taika Check and make sure the conf file is loaded with the right port.

Also, what code base?

@Packrat The oath forbids them from using channeling against anyone except to save their own life or some nonsense like that.

@dontpanda I expect most people wouldn't even recognize a wolf brother when they saw one, weird colored eyes, ok, weird, not WTFOMGBBQ!

This is rather neat, what /can't/ graphene be used for?

@Ominous Roll20 is free. Don't have to pay a thing unless you want to.

@Arkandel When you play hardcore, everything is done more carefully.

@Misadventure I've found the unended vitality to be a major thing, especially once you're at T13 or higher where pretty much anything can 1 shot you with normal health levels.

Paragon levels don't cap out at 800. That's just to get 50 in each of them. Certain ones, like your power attribute (Int, Str, Dex) and Vitality are completely open ended.
