I will refrain from giving feedback on the signature items.

But I would like to say I like your new signature.

For triple the credits and +1 to Power Point activation costs, the power activates as part of another action (an attack roll for a weapon, roll to activate another power, etc.) using the Trait result of the primary action. Power Points are spent before rolling, and with a failure on the primary act...

I am tossed in rating, the post rate seems to have infected every game. I agree here with VV, the quality of these adventures is high, and I would add that for what is effectively a series of one shots they are incredibly enjoyable. However post rate already feeds into EP, and everyone is slow, it f...

Shadow Cloak gives 1 hour of invisability for 3 PPE I think.

But i think the toughness f the over coat is better

Mostly did not think of it.

I will add it, the think of a +1 to balance it.

My only question is, "Why not a modified Armor Cloak?" It gives +2A/+1T as a base, you can add +2 Stealth, Invisibility and Fear to that. And that's just Enchanted; as TW, you can add +1 Toughness and +10 PPE, as well--or the Mega Mod for Invisibility, instead of the extra PPE, if you want to throw...

Adaptable is a +2 ability, even without getting BaH bonus. The ability to pick up any of the Background Edges, including ABs, is enough to keep it priced the same as a specific Racial Edge. That was a mistake. Agree on Regeneration. I guess Construct is out because you want healing to work, which m...

Uncle Jay Razz would like the Ley Line Walker pre-gen
Uncle has bowed out. Still a few spots open.

VV

I will use the Line Walker then. No need to make an all new awesomeness when there is already a Wizard.

I was not in the game do I cannot really vote.

But I enjoyed reading this story and kibitzing

I will be honest I was getting pretty sad thinking this game was going to die. But I love the post you do when you have time, and really hope it picks up and takes off again.

I hope this new job balances out and we can get back up to a GM post every week.

I am really liking the idea of this game and the chance to play Jimmy and Gill as villains is awesome.

Got the job, now the work really begins.

YEAH!

Congratulations, a lot of work getting moved and set up for the new job. But in the end you will be set up for awesome new changes!

Was editing when High Command replied, so reversed edit above. So this weapon has: 1 die type less strength 2x the Shots slightly less than 1/2 the weight (which while I am not opposing makes no sense at all, this thing should be real heavy, at a minimum for recoil) I really do not see it needing so...

A force cannon is a vehicle weapon that cannot be used by someone with a strength of d10.

It is not uncommon for vehicle weapons to be more powerful than hand carried ones

Nice, Unfortunately you will need GM fiat ( which you likely will get ) for Major Psionic. It is no longer a Professional Edge, now it is a Power Edge. The same thing can be achieved by selecting "New Powers" with an HJ roll, and then using your Hindrance points for Major Psionic. This path will req...

I like it and approve of the "KLS-RG-15X Manpack Electromagnetic Rail Gun"

I have no opinion on this. The Power Gamers wet dream that is the FWIS is perfectly fine in some games (I even allowed one in one of mine) and completely broken as both the most powerful plasma weapon and the best vibro weapon combined. So I think the original works in some games, and the new one wo...

Results
Maggie = 3 wounds and incapacitated
Sal = Yet to be determined, waiting to soak 4 wounds

Maybe only an arcane character could 'beast master' one of them? The upgrades would be the result of tinkering on them. Note, this should not be tagged with the 'unique' descriptor.

I'm okay with that, but +2 seems...strong. I'd kinda prefer the reroll, but I'm willing to be convinced. I was trying to give a bit more options, but you're right on the one of each.

I prefer tribes version of the dice.

3 extra bennies per session raised all my red flags.

I know this is like 3, but the changes make it less overt.

I would also like a poll on MOH and Concealment on the armor.

Maybe drop the MOH. A player can always buy that and have it installed by RAW if they want it. I didn’t notice that on my last look.

I also agree that the Multi-Optics Helmet should just be something you can buy.

It is like a whole second free item.

Trolling aside as I pointed out above a PC cannot add the body armor results to gear by raw. But as the body armor table restricts adding the same bonus more than once, the enchantment tables limit you to +2, and the naruni is the same as the body armor table, you are effectively stacking the same b...

Body armor table results. The heading specifically says it doubles the price. @Freemage two points of reference: you missed that I was trolling High Command and was not really as invested as my posts here implied. there are no actual rules for this adding those to armor as a PC, just paying to have ...

When you take the most powerful armor in the book and use it as a base item to add your mods to. That is the problem, THAT IS THE SOURCE OF POWER CREEP ( Rarity −5 Restricted , 100,000 credits) Each minor upgrade should double the price from there. "EACH" if it was allowed and then it would be with ...

Okay, the GM thread is getting overwhelmed. On the matter of concealment being added. I am 100% opposed to it. This gear should be nice, but it should not be the trump instant best gear. This thing is freakin medium armor with +2 toughness and +6 armor, turns invisible, and has other features. It is...

Not sure if this game will happen. I got a lot in my RL plate.

No worries, take care of life and your efforts to get the new job first.

As I said in-character, I think the option to infiltrate the security team gives us the most paths to success; If that isn't a popular option, I think hitting him on the road is our best choice. I like the infiltrate option, because if it fails we can recover to brute force. But there other brute f...

If by "Extras", you mean Sidekicks and Followers, then I disagree with them getting half-shares; equipping your tag-alongs is part of the downside of those Edges/abilities; they're loyal to your PC, and thus you need to pay their upkeep.
