well, I'm really really old

but again, is Modular Abilities OK?

From what I garner, not as a PC. You'll steamroll over everyone and everything. Shys could be an NPC, though, as long as she isn't too influential.

I just realized that Mod Ab would need NPC anyway.

needs waaaay more points than we start with to be useful, since the one she'd have has a 1/10 conversion ratio.

Soooo I'm making 682-chan.

Their advantages would be something like this:

Bloodlust -10
Enemies (IRIS or Midorikawa Group, @ Gm's Discretion) (Large Group, Hunter) -40
DR (Absorbtion, Semi-Ablative, No Armor) - 21 levels, 147 points
Sanitized Metabolism - 1 pt
Penetrating Voice - 1 pt
No Hangover - 1 pt

aight?

Sweet, but I'm gonna need you to fill out a character sheet too.

on it, just clearing the concept first. *goes off to fill out the rest of the sheet*

[PrivateNomad]

Yes, Rag is playing again 

[Sanure]

Hmm, Anything else I need to finish on Sen's sheet before we do anything important?

[ragnarok97071]

Name: Subject #74114/Talia

Age: No fucking clue.

Description: Recent escapee from IRIS/Midorikawa group holding facility. Anger issues the size of Nebraska. Likes sweet tea and speaks in a british accent.

Stats: 100/100
Health: 12
Mana: 12
Speed: 12
Skill: 12
Strength: 12
Magic: 12
Defense: 14
Resistance:14

Equipment: Absolutely NOTHING. Just a chick covered in thick-ass Chitin.

Ability: Adaptive Carapice Armor. in GURPS terms:
Damage Resistance - Absorption, Semi-Ablative, No Armor. (double cost, 10 levels, 140 points.)
SPECIAL RULES: In order to apply Absorbed PP, Talia must make a check against Magic with a DC equal to the total amount of points to be spent in a turn. This is a reflexive action and does not consume her action for the round, but cannot be rerolled until the next round. She must also expend a number of motes use an amount of mana equal to twice the PP spent this way. Points fade as normal in the GURPS handbook, at a rate of 1 point/round.
Additionally, since this leaves me with 10 points, I took Striker (Tail, Impaling damage, 8 points) and Teeth 2 (Impaling Damage FTW~)

Examples:

Negligible: Hit with a rock. shrugs it off.

Small: Shot. heals the wound and hardens armor against further damage.

Medium: hit with a car. grows a scorpion tail and impales the driver with it.

Big: Hit with a bomb. starts breathing plasma.

Enormous: Nuked. Becomes temporarily immortal.

Gigantic: Thrown into a black hole. Comes out the other side super dense and really pissed off.

Say Hi to 682-chan.

Talia's gonna murder some wankers.

Oh, and for anyone that's wondering how the whole DR thing works.

Spoiler: Full descriptor of DR (click to show/hide)

682-chan here has an innate damage reduction of 10.

This means that whenever she would be damaged by an attack, she ignores the first 10 points of it.

for every ten damage dealt, her DR is reduced by 1 until healed.

She also can't wear armor/clothing over it because of its nature as Chitin and it being a bitch to find someone to tailor for chitin.

However, it's also Absorbtion DR.

Which means that whenever she takes damage, I get to assign that many temporary PP to her, either to heal her at 1 HP/pp or into abilities.

Yes, I can buy additional levels of her DR with it.

it costs 7 points.

Luckily, she can only have 20 points stocked at a time and they all blow at the end of a scene...

Unless I buy more DR.

And she can regenerate her DR as hit points up to its normal level.

[kj1225]

I do hope these things are temporary.

682 babies, here we come.

[ragnarok97071]

well yeah.

All her absorption fades at end of scene.

Also, she needs to risk taking damage to fill up what is essentially her MP.

sooooo yeah.

[kj1225]

So does Kyle now.

It amazing how broken she seems despite having her power work similarly to Kyle's method of magic. And she lacks the stat boosts.

Um... looks like Kyle still uses Merlin in the GMpost.

But yeah she's stupid strong. Absorbtion DR is one of the most cheesy abilities in all of GURPS.

[kj1225]

His Magic skill is effectively one unless he sucks a spell with his gun, which Smurf should probably mention.

Well his can work with any spell

she has to be hit with an attack.

Also huh, reading the Op it looks like the nature of her ability MIGHT warrant a bonus, actually, since she starts at 0 mp where everyone else defaults to full at the start of a scene.

Perk: Creature of Ancient Magic (Health Perk)
- Damage Regenerates execpt damage from sources inimcal to Stella's magical nature, specifically Cold Iron and Weaponized anti-magic

Special Features (Attempting to simulate her being a dragon (and bigger than most of the team) without overpowering her)
- Scales (+1 armour in half dragon form +3 in full dragon form)
- Big Target (In full dragon form Stella is a much bigger target and her inertia prevents more agile manouvers; -1 speed except for straight linear movement)
- Organic Flight (For long distance flight, Stella adds her Strength (ignoring the lifting strength feature) to her speed to determine how fast she travels)
- Creature of Fire (No damage or penalties from fire and heat based abilities/weapons, double damage/penalties (before resistance) from cold based abilities/weapons, and cold conditions prevent her regenerating as well as being hazardous to her health)
- Toxic Blood (Stella's Blood is a potent, skin permeable toxin, any enemy using an edged weapon (in melee) against Stella must roll dodge (TN: 5) made easier by 1 point per 2 the skill roll exceeded hitting STella) or take 1 damage per round per 5 points of damage inflicted on Stella) (biut wary about this one but I want numbers on her weird blood even if it never comes up)
- Magic Blood (If Stella's Blood can be collected, true magic users can draw the natural magic from within it; Regenerating 1 Mana per point of health the injury that provided the blood inflicted - the blood is not consumed)

Equipment
- Super Spandex Suit (+1 defense against piercing and slashing type attacks, also prevents Stella's blood splashing around from such attacks while worn; immune to destruction for non-plot reasons and fits her in any form)

Natural attacks (Tennative)
- Fangs and Claws, Normal quality equivilent (+3), +5 in full form
- Tail Slap, A Crushing attack using the muscles from entirety of Stella's Body (+7) However She must be on the ground to use it AND the attack is strongly telegraphed and requires her to stop looking at her target a small amount of time before striking (-2 to hit), becomes an AOE in full form

Magic:

Negligible
- Fire Bolt (Small puff of flame, dealing magic as damage, does not last long enough to ignite target)
- Kindle (Lights flammable on fire)

Small
- Blast of flame (Cone of fire damage)
- Cloud of Smoke (penalizes all (including allied) non area attacks at half magic value for 4 turns)
- Ignite (A Wash of flame over a single target Magic damage plus ignites target (dealing a quarter of the damage initially dealt (min 1) ignoring resistance) until they take a turn to put themselves out)
- Fire Lance (Magic damage- Grows in damage by .5 magic every turn the same target is hit until Stella misses/does not continue/ or changes target)
- Superheat (Stella superheats her fangs, adding her magic roll to physical damage with her fangs for the turn)

Medium
- Cleanse (Stella uses the metaphoric cleansing aspect of fire, removing (or having a chance to remove) ongoing effects on the target. Stella must reach TN 2 for this effect but also deals her magic as damage, TN4 deals no damage)
- Immolate (as ignite but base damage is 1.5 Magic and an immolated target only has a 50/50 chance to remove the fire without special effects (such as water magic))
- Strong Blast of Flame (Cone of 1.5 Magic as fire damage)
- Thermal Lance (Stella uses Concentrated Heat (1.5 magic, no damage but any that penetrates resistance is dealt as a temporary penalty to armour only (not base defense stat of creature) ))

Big
- Incinerate (as immolate but 2 times magic as base damage and Fire may only be put out by magic, or complete smothering)
- Fire Wave (Cone of 2 times magic damage)
- White Fire (Single target 2.5 times magic damage, TN 3 and May not use her magic abilities next turn)

[Sanure]

Ok, To be completely honest, No matter how 682 is made, statted, or otherwise written, it's just going to end up being another immortal being that no one can deal with IC or OOC. Rebooting the game was meant to get away from that. No offense, but please do not make such an OP character. And yes, Talia is OP. No matter how you fight her, all she does is get stronger. There is no winning against her. So yeah, I'm going to quit complaining now and get back to finishing up Sen for when the game starts.

Edit: This post is directed at @Rag.

[kj1225]

But the simple solution is to use AP ammo and regularly switch tactics, which I think is actually a really good thing as it means EVERYONE is having to change things up when they fight.

Also, should we include the thing with the undead I posted in the V2 thread?
