Psionics: Similar to Magic in that it takes power to use (Only psionics use ISP, wheras Magic uses PPE), psionics are a very munchkin ability with major strengths, and major weaknesses. For instance, a Psychic charactor is generally unprotected in combat, but could, for instance, cause someone to spontainiously explode from 250 meters away. Some psionics are specialised, some are not. The main difference between Psionics and other powers which would do the same thing is that Psyonics always hit, have impossible saves (Unless you are fighting another psionic) and cost ISP. (Inner Strength Points)

you must meditate to regain ISP, at a rate of 6 points per hour of meditation.

(Meditation counts towards sleep, at a ratio of 2/1 for time, but sleep only restores 2 points per hour.)

Any non-psionic charactor needs to roll higher than 15 to save VS a psichic attack. It counts as a M.E. save. Psichics need to roll over a 10 to save.

Domesticated Animals don't like you.

you have a +8 bonus to your ME _STAT_, and +1 to your MA.

 your base ISP is your ME X2, plus 90. Every level, this increases by 10.

you get 10 psychic abilities, which YOU select.

and 3 SUPER abilities, which you also choose.

every level, starting at 2nd, you recieve 2 more minor and one major ability.

your SDC (think of it like super-HP) is 30.

you have $1100 in pocket cash, which you can spend on anything you want.

I love rock'n'roll, so put another dime in the jukebox baby,
I love rock'n'roll, so come and take your time and dance with me...

When will I get to do my char ? Can you PM me the list of powers, Acanous ? and the list of kinds of superheroes ? For the powers, only the names, and for the kinds of superheroes, which powers are available. Thanks !

GAH! WHAT HAPPENED TO MY LIST!?!?!?!

_NOOOOOOO!!!_

shit... that took quite a bit of time to type...
*Cries*
the list of powers, hero types and all is quite extencive... to find 'em all, go pick up a copy of Heroes Unlimited, from your local games store.

This does sound interesting arcanous, and I understand that since most people don't have their own books, and since the book is so large, that you can't just type it all out... and that in the heros unlimited system, many of the character types can have widely varrying powers based on the rolls that are made... but I do like to have some amount of choice in what character I choose to play. Still, I'm willing to give this a chance, especialy since it looks like it'll be a slow paced RP.

OK, T-drake, because of the SICK ammount of secondary skills which exist, I'm going to give you secondary skills relating to your educational skills, as well as a few good city skills like prowl and streetwise.

I'll give you a copy of your completed charactor sheet when i'm done, than I'm a start on Josh's.

This is gonna take a while. No?

no, actually, I'm almost done

I mean doing all the characters.

yeah, but now Drake's is done, and DB's is done, so we can actually start the RP NOW, and add more players later... but first Drake needs a backstory. speaking of which, I have a charactor sheet to PM. And than I move on to the next one.

Arcanous: One of my friends has a copy of the hero's unlimited books. Would there be a way that I could contribute to making my character when it comes to be my turn, so that I can take some of the load off of you?
