Josefina Reyes Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 5'9" was the tallest when I looked. Edit: And what high school student has a body of 7?! Good grief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rorx Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Well, when I glanced through the skill rules before I did Jim I thought it said a Skill level of 2-3 was professional level, which is why Jim is only at lvl 1 in his skills, but we seem to have a lot of proffesional level 16 year olds here! Obviously a high pressure school! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin OOC Posted January 3, 2009 Author Share Posted January 3, 2009 very high pressure It's the last one that's completely open.. all the others have been closed completely or operate in limited fashion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josefina Reyes Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 That still doesn't explain at least two people with Body ratings of 7... that's two teenagers in the same school who are well beyond the adult human average, and these are only high school students. Justin seems cool with it, so I'm not going to complain outside of this post, but I'm picky about wanting things to make sense. Every time I make a character, for every stat/skill, I ask myself, "Why?" Why does this character need this skill? Why would she be able to do this? Why is she so wealthy at such a young age? Why does she know how to speak Esperanto? Why does she regenerate? etc. If I can't come up with a reasonable answer beyond, "Because I want it," I don't do it. I also try to remember what the numbers actually mean.(I know, I know. "Pretendy Fun Time Games, Vivi!" "It's Anime." "Y'know, not everyone enjoys that style of play/creation." It still bugs the heck out of me, because it's hard for me to suspend my disbelief here sometimes.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SalmonMax Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Well remember too that this is a magical awakening.Maybe before all the weirdness started, they were more normal...but then they found they could fight longer, jump higher, lift more...in addition to the "powers" they have.Just a thought.

Justin OOC Posted January 3, 2009 Author Share Posted January 3, 2009 In theory I shouldn't allow you all stats higher than 3, 4 at most to be true teenagers.I am however following an interpretation of a law of anime here. Always send a boy to do a man's job, he'll get it done in half the time and twice the angst. (This is known as the Gundam Pilot Effect)I think generally in multiples of five in this system because nominally it encourages it. The high body characters are also very physical, and thus can say they have been training hard to get there. No one has a high mind stat, so we have no geniuses in the group, but we have several with a high soul stat. Soul governs luck, social graces and both a person's lifeforce and strength of will. I am doing my best to go over each sheet.As a note, you do not have to post your items publicly It's likely nobody but you would know what they do, thus not required. You may choose to do so if you wish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SalmonMax Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 I actually considered a sort of magitech engineer sort...but I think that'd overlap too much with the guy who can create weapons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rorx Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 With my limited power resources at the moment I think Jim could only manage a pistol grenade launcher with 3 shots at WL 10 that would effect all Oni (only) within a 30m radius Area out to a Range of 1km.WL10 =20 + 4 for Area + 3 for Range -1 for Exclusive (common) - 2 for Ammo (3 shots) = 24pts halved for Item = 12 Flux pointsBut it would be the only weapon he could create for that fight/minute.Would that suit you Kaori?

Kaori Aoyama Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 I guess, but it really detracts from the humor of the moment when you include your math Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rorx Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Sorry Rev, no pen/paper handy and needed to check I could actually do it in the points I have. As it happens I'd have to reduce it to WL9 to take the Multidimensional extra to effect the Oni. I'll try remember not to give any details unless asked in the future. Been thinking about weapons from shows he could try to duplicate while learning how to use his power. Jaffar Force Staff and Gaould (sp?) hand weapon were first to mind after the obvious lightsabre and Starwars blasters. Any other suggestions?

Rorx Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 I'd have to reserve comment on that until I found out what your power is... However, do bear in mind that I ended up spending 45pts on the power to create any weapon that will fit within 12 flux pts.I wonder how powerful Ken's Companion Lindh is as well?

Josefina Reyes Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 You can create any weapon that'll do pretty much anything, including copying other people's abilities. 45 pts isn't bad for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rorx Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Well, only upto 24 pts max, and it has to be in the form of a weapon, and I can only change it once a minute. Oh and I can give it to someone else to use for that time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josefina Reyes Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 "Only." Yeah, that's pretty potent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rorx Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Well, I can't change it during a combat effectively. Have to guess what we'll need and get it right first time. Or, hopefully, live with the consequences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaori Aoyama Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 I think that, even within your power's parameters, and regardless of what you spent to acquire it, that an individuals personal item should be outside you character's ability to duplicate.Onimaru is an example. You might be able to make a blade that look like it, but never should it possess any of Onimaru's powers simply because what you've created is not Onimaru, just a duplicate forged from your mind that knows nothing of it's capabilities (witnessed or not).

Rorx Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 I quite agree, I might be able to create something that looked like Kaori's sword with whatever powers I gave it within my limits, but not duplicate your sword. Even then it wouldn't be an exact duplicate, only as good as Jim's observation of the item. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josefina Reyes Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 At least she has a purpose. With ten people, there's a hell of a lot of overlap right now. Also!ThatGuy: Justin's said we're not using some of the mechanics you have on your sheet (Shock Value/Hardboiled), so those probably need to be traded in for something more useful.

Valerie Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 I spoke with him about that, he said he hasn't updated the public sheet but he already took into account the no shock value/hardboiled rule on his private sheet.Been proding him into updating unsuccesfully so far >_> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That simplifies things...

Kaori Aoyama Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Long allowed me to spend mine. I don't think he'd grant Kaori any special favoritism over the rest of the group, so I think it's safe to say we can spend them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
