Re: Alternate Core Documents
-20 and rare? Well I think that effectively renders them pointless past the first few levels. If you can get them. I can understand the need to cut them back but that seems like massive overkill. The -20 is fine. That's 20% protection against all attacks in exchange for 25AP! It's certainly better ...

Re: Alternate Core Documents
Some time earlier, Heal was revised to not take multiple turns to apply it's effects. However, the Advanced and Expert versions still take multiple turns. I believe this is a typo.

Re: Alternate Core Documents
So I suppose you could theoretically "pull the pin" on a grenade so to speak, and phase it, though the resulting blast would likely not harm anything while phased on account of being phased. However, you can't activate the grande while it is phased. And actually... that last restriction may even pr...

Re: Alternate Core Documents
So our group finally finished a year and a half of Fallout Equestria. One session a week, 3-8 hours per session, we got an awful lot done. We performed heroics and committed atrocities. We learned the magic of friendship from a omnicidal killbot and we managed to not betray each other for long enoug...

Re: Alternate Core Documents
If you make taking a head off take as much damage as it would to kill the target, does it mater that it kills them? That might actually be the best way to go. Maybe something like "Since severing a head is instantly lethal, a head may only be severed with a severing attack that also reduces the tar...

Re: Alternate Core Documents
I'm still convinced the best way to handle severing limbs is to not introduce a mechanic that allows it, and merely allude to the possibility (as we currently do). I vote this. It shouldn't be part of standard gameplay in the same way we don't need detailed rules for what happens if you're captured...

Re: Alternate Core Documents
:raritydespair: The existence of rules for shattering a horn have caused several people to suggest to me that there must also be rules for severing a limb. The argument has generally been that without rules for severing a limb, people will assume the rules for shattering a horn automatically apply,...

Came up in Tea Party for the Post Apocalypse. I just treated it as an auto-crit.Ghostpony wrote:As a side note on explosives, can we get damage modifiers efined for atempting to smother them with ones body? In RL doing so inflicts much greaterharm but keeps the blast from going very far.

Re: Alternate Core Documents
Rad-X duration 2 hours. PTMs duration 20 minutes. I've also added the following optional rules to the medical items chart: Optional Rule: Highs Addictive Chems have a "high" duration of two hours, even though the beneficial Effects last only as long as the chem's stated Duration. The character is i...

Re: Alternate Core Documents
Actually *it* was the point. I could go into a long discussion about how drugs work in real life. But the game mechanics have so little to do with real life why bother? Refuge in nihilism. I like it! Gun is overpowered? Why bother fixing it? We're all going to die eventually. Your system will crave...
