Gunning It
The gunners are disciplined and we'll trained. They won't fire until the enemy is committed. However, their fingers are on the trigger.

OOC: They are on hold. Include an Agility roll with any actions to avoid being interrupted.

The Way of the First The plan is set. The 1st SET will handle the super nexus like they handle all their problems: head on. Rod maps out a basic plan that depends on shock and awe from robot and dragon while the ground troops roll in fast and furious for the target. It's simple, it's brutal, and it...

Fast Talking and Face Saving As a stand off develops, the group turns to their area of strength: shooting off their mouths.

All above noted thanks. This all seems eerily familiar no? Like wasn’t this super tech 1.0? I think it was similar, but we didn't have access to generic Power Points so it kept breaking down.

Right. I forgot to mention that, any items with powers automatically burns 1 mod on power points. Although that is quasi true for enchanted items too if you want non-arcane users to have access. Super tech by definition also suffers technical difficulties. If we're super worried let's make some real...

Super science seems crazy over powered. You can use hi tech items and then add two major and two minor mods to them. Compared to TW it is still less powerful.

Other than Super Science we will go with RaW for TW and Enchanted Items.
