Re: Forum Rules

I'll move this to my character thread once I finish it, but just as a note here: Thursdays and Tuesdays are not good days for me to have time to post. As we are just starting here, I'm planning to try and get a response up today regardless, though.

Re: Powers

Okay, finished the revised catch listings. Now for some notes: Yes, this means you could have a super-rare catch that still gives a decent rebate by being utterly debilitating when it happens. Please do note, however, that that's when , not if. I do not recommend combining the +2 versions of both Sc...

Re: General Discussion (a starting point)

I don't see why it couldn't? DF does still have the "An aspect is true, even if it may not always be narratively relevant" thing going on. On the other hand, DF also has the eight-refresh physical immunity power, which suggests that that would be the proper way to model superman for that g...

Powers

There's a set of core physical powers from DFRPG: Strength/Speed/Toughness/Recovery, each rated at Inhuman/Supernatural/Mythic. For the most part, I think these work fairly well as written. (Though the levels definitely need some re-themed names.) The Catch, however - a refresh rebate offered for ha...

Re: Collateral Damage

Ah, yes, that's a good point - while it should be safe to assume that the PCs will -generally- want to minimize collateral damage... sometimes you find a godzilla threshold, or someone hits a berserk button, and there should definitely be an option to go all-out at the cost of higher collateral dama...

Re: Collateral Damage

Come to think of it, there are also two separate scales of collateral damage effects. First, there's small(er)-scale scene-local stuff. The pyrokinetic set the room on fire. The hulking brute smashed through delicate chemical equipment and now there's poisonous vapors filling the lab. The climactic ...

Adapting FATE to the forum

Mostly this isn't an issue; it's relatively obvious how to translate time-spans like "a scene" or "an adventure". However, there's one core time-span that doesn't translate well at all: "a game session", which is the time scale on which fate points refresh. My notion fo...

Collateral Damage

It's a super-hero setting. Collateral damage happens; missed attacks are obvious, of course, but even a strike that hits dead on might still leave a person-shaped crater in the ground. Some of the mechanics for this are obvious - every scene gets a stress track (and perhaps an armor rating?), and at...

General Discussion (a starting point)

First, anyone is welcome to chime in here; I'm interested in any feedback anyone cares to give. Second, the fate core rules can be found here: https://fate-srd.com/ For a final houserules document, I'll want to make it based off that fate core SRD, so that it's usable by anyone. However, for purpose...
