Unstablist Posted June 9, 2003 Share Posted June 9, 2003 So yeah, I'm very good at coming up with things tyhat make my friends(and Players) groan. and one of them is this idea for combinging genres.Like say, Survival Horror and Superhero.Throwing a couple medium powered Novas into hordes of zombies I think sounds fun for a hack n' Slash kinda game.Or even sliding in giant Ants, but into sci fi as tools of the aberrants to sow chaos to cover their invasion...So yeah, i like this kinda thing, am i insane(don't answer that) or do other people like these style of ideas, or even used them themselves?-The Unstablist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahamut810 Posted June 9, 2003 Share Posted June 9, 2003 I think that would be fun as hell. But instead of Medium powered Abbies I would go more for low powered ones...like 15 np max wiht a 2 dot max on any power/mega-app and 3 dot max on Q.Now that would be fun ::devil ::devil ::devil tack the hunter background on that...and you have yourself a kick ass game--EDIT--Screw the hunter background...go with the night of the living dead background Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-dev Posted June 10, 2003 Share Posted June 10, 2003 Even with only 15 np, I could still kicking some zombie butt. ::devil You could run an Adventure campaign like that. The power level would be right I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnakeEyes Posted July 5, 2003 Share Posted July 5, 2003 One of my mates is doing a WoD-Aberrant crossover (well, planning it at the mo'). I would like it. So would a few people I know. It's cool. And as for low power novas, it depends on the zombies. WoD books (Hunter especially) mention how zombies can generally withstand most of what you can throw at them. You can put 4 clips from a Browning M60 and they'd still keep coming. So medium powered would probably work better. ::smile And as for giant ants... well I think you should look at 'Mimic'. If you get the colony idea right, then it would be a heck of a lot of fun. ::hehe Hell yeah,SnakeEyes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnakeEyes Posted July 14, 2003 Share Posted July 14, 2003 Yeah, but aren't those powers more high level? And a Browning M60 can rip a man to shreds in less than half a clip (considering they generally have around 100 rounds in a single mag).Besides, When you think about it, a Hunter with the 'Cleave' ability can pump a weapon full of supernatural power, or even make one that only super naturals can see. This means a knife with cleave would do about as much damage as a normal katana or hand-and-a-half sword. And the zombies still come at you. Apparently you have to maul and decimate them several times over before they stop coming. 'Cos the passion that keeps them moving is too strong to be stopped by a few Globetrotter wheels. ::smile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahamut810 Posted July 14, 2003 Share Posted July 14, 2003 The Magnetic Master ability Storm does so much more then that...it takes all the metal under 40kg in the area and makes a hurracaine with it...very nasty there. With enough metal...(almost) anything would get torn to shreads in only a few turns. In Q-Z DV mine does about 8d10b per turn...im think the prof considers that L if htere is enough sharp objects to go around (like razor blades, really sharp pagan stars o' death, even bullets I would think).Quantum Bolt (the generic name for any blast of something) is a medium level power...and quite nasty. A single fire ball at Quantum of 2, Q bolt 1 does [4]+2d10l damage. It looks weak in aberrant world...but in hunter? That would tear an arm off of a zombie. A generic bolt tossin nova will have about 3 levels of Q-bolt...doing [4]+6d10l damage. Ouch... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProfPotts Posted July 14, 2003 Share Posted July 14, 2003 im think the prof considers that L if htere is enough sharp objects to go around (like razor blades, really sharp pagan stars o' death, even bullets I would think).Actually most bullets (standard 'ball' ammunition) are pretty blunt & would be considered Bashing if used with Magnetic Storm, especially if they're caught in the storm after hitting something (& further 'squashing' from the impact). Shrapnel, on the other hand, is usually pretty sharp stuff... ::wink Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahamut810 Posted July 14, 2003 Share Posted July 14, 2003 Shrapnel? I dont think she would be too keen on me tossing her around in a huge magnetic tornato... ::smiley1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obsidian Shade Posted July 15, 2003 Share Posted July 15, 2003 i think, a fireball would make aggravated damage to zombies an other kind of undead. your nova would be a terminator in a vampiregame. and it only needs 2 quantum points to spend for one destroyed enemy.

SnakeEyes Posted July 15, 2003 Share Posted July 15, 2003 Ok. Correct me if I'm wrong. But fire would generally do aggravated damage to vampires (unless they are wearing some kind of fireproof outfit). Same as sunlight. Zombies, on the other hand, are powerful, but often senseless. They don't actually feel pain. They aren't ResEvil types. They aren't stopped by ripping bits off them. The only way you can be sure you've destroyed a zombie (shambler, walker, or hider) is by nuking it. Picking up what's left, and strapping the pieces (or gluing the sludge) to 25 crates of TNT, burying them under 70 tonnes of reinforced concrete, and blowing them up again. And even then you you have to be careful ::devil . It is an extremely powerful force that brings a dead man back as a zombie...As for the power business, I lent my books to my mate. I need to read them again. But if they are medium powers, then you are agreeing with me that medium is better than low power, right? And if Quantum bolt is medium, then Magnetic Mastery is Medium-to-High. I could be wrong, but that's what I figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayre el KaBeer Posted July 15, 2003 Share Posted July 15, 2003 I stand by what i said earlier... Immolate! watch vamps go into rotschreck and flee, they can only soak fire with Fortitude! As for zombies burning them to ash works brilliantly, though they can take more of a pounding than vamps so claws in unison with immolate would work well also... I also suggest flight, and or hypermovement (running or flying) so nothing can catch you when you need to get away from the overwhelming hordes!Still, try famori vs. zombies instead of aberrants, it'll be one hell of a fight and you won't have to worry about one character taking out an entire city.

SnakeEyes Posted July 15, 2003 Share Posted July 15, 2003 It depends... what if the fomori intend to run the zombies down with a petrol tanker ::sly ? You'd take out a good few buildings... I mean, most fomori are unpredictable, which is why they are so dangerous. What if they sent in suicide squads? ::devil You send in fomori against zombies, you wouldn't worry about the destruction of the city. You'd worry about the chaos that would ensue!I can't remember wht imolate does... but still... it's level 2, which is 'medium' (i don't consider level 2 medium, if you go by players guide, then it's pretty damn low) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayre el KaBeer Posted July 15, 2003 Share Posted July 15, 2003 Well the only level 1 that's offensive is claws, you'd have to use level 2 or higher against zombies.Immolate enshrouds your character with some kind of energy (fire is pretty common) it deals (players choice) of either bashing, lethal or aggrivated dammage. Damage isn't as high as Qbolt but considerring it does inflicts injuries to your oponents if they hit you and if you hit them it's damn good. It deals Quantum + (power rating x 2) L, personally I'd pick phoenix fire from Freak Legion anyday over immolate since it's aggrivated and at diff 8 to soak for things that can soak agg.

Obsidian Shade Posted July 15, 2003 Share Posted July 15, 2003 aggravated damage (inflicts [power rating] levels of aggravated damage) is an extra for Immolate. with an extra the level of the power is 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
