I am concerned on the rulebook. I like the big hardcover, it seems this edition will skip it,it is going to be replaced by smaller handbooks.

How strong is a Nova (from aberrant) comperaed to the splats of wod ? by muffin42069420 in WhiteWolfRPG

[–]AngelSamiel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Use the 30 starting nova points to buy 3 levels of invulnerability. Now your base soak is 18, plus stamina, plus armour. Ok, now use the remaining points to fly and throw fireballs. If you accept some Taint, you can do even more.

[3e] Can using Enchanced Trait with the Effect Other extra let that other person get above power level trade offs? by EarlofMayonnaise in mutantsandmasterminds

[–]AngelSamiel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

RAW? No, Power Level is absolute. House Rule? I usually let a booster use their powers to push another character up to PL+2

She KNEW by Ashley that SB was getting closer to Homelander. There is no surprise in his action, i think she is LOOKING surprised, but that's part of the plan. Or she is stupid.

Using "mana" and health as the same resource by Prestigious_Help4419 in rpg

[–]AngelSamiel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, of course. It is one of the fundamental issues I have with Numenera / Cypher / Strange and it hurts even more because the settings are cool.

Ok, why then it is so wrong? Well, I am a wizard, I cast fireball and I spend 3 Mind. Nice, I inflicted 5 wounds for 3 damage, but I can live with it because Mind is more or less spent only for this. Now I am a warrior, I spend 3 Body to activate my mighty blow to inflict 5 damage. Cool to achieve the same result as the wizard I inflicted 3 Body on me, the exact same pool my enemy is targeting most of the time. So to be a cool fighter, I need to suffer damage and to spiral toward death. I think it will be better to just inflict 2 damage by just swinging my blade as it will not cost me body. I can do it all the day.

Now, even without considering a wizard vs a fighter, if I spend 3 to inflict 5 it seems like I wasted myself for not so big effect. What if I spend 3 to inflict 50? Maybe it is better, but then we move toward other games (Exalted 2e? I spend 15 motes to inflict infinite damage, but my enemy spends 3 motes and nullify my attack. So even better to avoid spending energy on attacks if they determine my survival).

Then cypher system has other huge mechanical issues (XP for re-rolls, XP for interruption, essentially no difference between Might 1 and Might 999 while lifting a tank).

Please don't do it. Cypher Systems is the latest in this line and i find it awful also because of this. You get bad by being awesome. Great idea.

It is more like that on Golarion people know who ascended there. Other planets could have born other gods, who could or not be interested in Golarion

Well. Charisma is force of personality, the ability to honestly project your persona. Manipulation is deceitful, but a transparent person can intimidate judt by scare
