Re: Adventure into Dinosaur Swamp
Deezy checks the charge on the device she attached to Johnny's Glitterboy, and gives another chunk of power. The device whirrs happily, and the HUD on the robot's pilot interface lights up with new information. She then pours another bottle of holy water into the intake port on the device...which sh...

Re: What Are Your Favorite Comics?
For people interested in the relationship between heroes and villains, and are interested in a rather cool reversal of those roles, Red Son is the best.
It's such a good read, that stems from a simple what if.
What if Superman landed in Soviet Russia instead of Kansas?
And it goes from there.

Re: Out of Character Chatter
Alright, so I'll put Greater Smite on the Boom Gun again. I can also Boost Trait: Shooting if Beretta is at wound penalties, to help compensate for those. That'd add 2 dice steps to the shooting skill.

Also, would it be possible to salvage Cid's boom gun? Or turn its ammo into mines?
We can dictate how and when and where this takes place. Lets make it favorable to us.

Re: Good Problems to Have
Out of curiosity, how does one go about getting additional user accounts? Is it just an informal request, or is there a process?
Cuz I'm pretty sure I'll be able to get one or two more after the dust settles and the EP are updated.

Re: Out of Character Chatter
The mega version of healing in my PDF is resurrection... But without a source of PPE, I can't cast it. I have 20, native, but it costs 30 to cast.

Re: Out of Character Chatter
Deez has the Master Mage perk, so she can access the mega-version of any power she can use...which is pretty much any of the TW-eligible powers, via the Arcane Machinist power.
I'll respect your wishes of course, but I'd be happy to help out however I can to keep your character viable.

But it takes more PPE than I can imbue a gadget with.

No, 'Squidge' isn't her real name. Or rather, it's not the one she was given at birth. She wanted a clean break from all that though.

True, but Savage Worlds gives us more options. The tools that the Companions gives us lets us define robots as a 'race.' But an Iconic Framework is much more involved, and more powerful, than just a race. So we'd either need to define an Iconic Framework for all robots...which might be a bit limitin...

As robust as Savage Worlds Rifts is, there are a unavoidable gaps in the frameworks they provide.

The order we're acting in is a bit nebulous as well...perhaps the incoming fire can come after allies have a chance to move, but before the wraith does?
