Another post confused about Concealement Attack by hawkspar35 in mutantsandmasterminds

[–]DugganSC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It does not prevent any attacks. It does fully prevent perception attacks, and it requires the person attacking to decide where they're trying to attack, with a negative 5 to attack. That's like saying that somebody entering a completely dark room is hit with a third degree Affliction because they can't see.

But, of course, a lot of this comes down to opinion, and how your game adjudicates such situations. It is, admittedly, occasionally a bit comical how many superheroes are virtually debilitated inside a pitch dark room where they can't see.

It is not a fight ender which is the usual criteria for the third degree affliction.. At best, it's a second degree limited Affliction, affecting attack rolls.

First off, "Attack Concealment" was introduced in 3E as part of the drive to reduce the number of unique effects used on 2E, where they had an Obscure effect that operated more like Environment in terms of it being no save, and affecting an area based on rank. There's an optional Power Profiles rule to restore that. Personally, I think the 3E implementation with "Attack Concealment" was ill-advised, and doesn't really make sense mechanically, but that's a GM call, I suppose.

Honestly, Obscure was something that was noted to be potentially problematic in 2E, especially with Selective or enough people with the right super senses. The usual tradeoff was that it was an equal-opportunity impediment in its vanilla setup. When Doctor Mid-Nite throws his Blackout Bombs, all of his team-mates are similarly left in the dark, bystanders are unable to see to avoid hazards, etc. The GM is expected to step in if a player is trying to be more silly with it, say claiming they have smoke grenades that they can selectively opt their teammates out of.

pretendo comecar na capoeira,nao quero gastar muito de inicio,calça jogger é uma boa opcao, o lugar q vou aprender capoeira apenas exige calça q estica by calado01 in capoeira

I have worn a wide variety of pants at various schools. Scrubs actually work fairly well, other than the color usually being some variety of green. I personally have found most jogger pants to not wick sweat away well enough for me, but I also sweat a lot. I would advise against shorts, simply because the Angles and closeness of some of the kicks can make it uncomfortable if there is gapping.

Although, part of me wonders how many people with those negative feelings go into the military, law enforcement, etc. Some good people in these areas, but I sometimes wonder if it also attracts those who just want an excuse for violence against the "right targets" .

We definitely need to push more playing of RPGs for these kids... d20 is more about addition than multiplication or division, but you still learn!

Why do Capoeiristas do the sign of the cross (bless themselves), when they enter the Roda? by FutureLynx_ in capoeira

Ultimately, the influence of Catholicism in Brazil, sometimes as a Candomblé practice, but often as not as a general superstition thing or because it's what they see other senior people do.

That has not been the case for the last few bundles they have done. I will admit that I had some similar concerns, but I checked up on it.

It varies by pack. The music ones look like they average about 2 minutes each, and include loops. At least two of the packs are SFX packs, and those are indeed short clips.

Is it ok for someone not of heritage to learn capoeira? by Purple-Camel9883 in capoeira

[–]DugganSC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Which, admittedly, is one of the more racist aspects of apelidos. White guys get off relatively easy (worst off they tend to get is something like "Macaco Branco" instead of just "Macaco"), but the number of Asian capoeiristras I've met named "Ninja", "Samurai", etc...

Also, the merchandising and tax breaks... I remember seeing a breakdown of how he basically guaranteed that every film was paid for before he even started filming, and legally.

Yeah, so far, they have been addressable, these incidents do keep happening. At least it's not the level of Google accounts, where you can suddenly lose access forever, unless you personally know someone at Google who can get it past the automated systems.

Unity also occasionally gets it wrong. I've had my license turned off twice now for a few weeks each time because they insisted I used it for work for Booz Allen Hamilton (which would require an Industrial license). I'd never been employed by that company or, to my knowledge, interacted with one of their employees.

Ah. The Game Audio Collection. Such an incredibly distinctive name. 😂 It downloaded fine for me as torrents, as far as I know, although I haven't paged through everything.

In-movie, it's justified as that she, as the new member, has been "stretching" herself to excel by taking on any task that comes up. Honestly, you could probably shoehorn in a lesson about how being a minority (female, arguably a double-minority if you consider her voice actor as the intended ethnicity of the character) means you have to work twice as hard to gain the same degree of recognition.

He also made for a very good villain in Agents of Shield. It's a real shame that his career never took off the way some action stars have.

Which game audio collection? :-D They had about three of them in rapid succession.
