Neat but goofy thing I saw pointed out over on Giantitp. The Warforged Envoy subrace for D&D 5e can have one integrated tool of it's choice, in 5e one of the entries in the tools table on page 154 is 'Vehicles (land or water)'. So you could technically make a warforged who is also a boat or a wagon.

Honestly probably less problematic for balance than most other tools, but I imagine it could cause issues with doorways.

It can also have one of the gaming sets integrated into it, which begs questions about how integrated dice or cards work.

Problem there is the vehicles is just attached to one arm, it doesn't tuck away or get hidden or anything. It's just a boat attached to an otherwise normal warforged arm.  :P
I see no problem with this.

What if the chosen tool is brewer's supplies? I'm imagining that the warforged's torso is a barrel, with an appropriately placed tap...

We made Mutants and Masterminds characters tonight, it was more complicated than we expected.  We haven't done a point buy system quite like this, closest thing was probably Shadowrun.  Fun though.

Results of our rushed creation:

The player who always plays a bird:  Alivia "Rascal" Ornithrope:  A werebird who can travel 20,000 miles in 6 seconds

Me:  A hippie possessed a long dead storm god, Fallen London style.  Able to turn into a cloud and toss lightning and thunder about, or rain to heal people (even from death).
And now I'm roleplaying Harold Penisman, except as a hero.  I drive a van full of free drugs, like insulin aspirin and dietary supplements.  And still turn into a cloud and try to zap people.

The necromancer player:  Bibleman.  Literally, Bibleman.

We're fighting "Brick Frog" and some Waaluigi-looking punk who's been spitting gum on the church pews.

and we've *almost* figured out how to roll attacks and damage

Edit:  Character sheet, I thiiink it's fine?  Power Level is 8, so most things are capped at 16 and we had 120 power points to spend.

Edit2:  Satan-themed villain attacked me with fire, crit the attack roll, then crit the damage roll...  Then we worked out that it supposed to add 20, not 1d20, to the damage challenge.  Roll20, so helpful.

Edit3:  Bibleman player continues quoting the Bible, something about not killing birds

Sounds fun. MnM’s character creation is complex but very flexible, so you can come up with so many different kinds of heroes. I’m not sure what you’re saying about the crits and combat, though. MnM’s combat can take some getting used to. Do you mean that Mr Satan got a crit that bumped their damage into 20? That would be a ridiculous amount of damage for PL8. There’s no ’damage roll’ to crit anyway - rather the target gets to resist the attack’s damage, generally using their Toughness.

Yeah I explained that poorly of course
Mr Satin (in a devil outfit) rolled a 20 to hit, which was a crit.  That makes his damage 20+power instead of 15+power.  But the GM accidentally rolled 1d20+power out of habit... and rolled another 20, which we realized was accidentally the correct sum.

We fought a giant ice-cream dispensing mecha but I kinda OHKO'd it with my energy aura (it rolled a 1 or 2 for its toughness check).  We investigated the shop's freezer and the mecha exploded, trapping us in ice for three hundred years, ending the prologue section.  Now we're in a futuristic megacity which is, by kinda bizarre coincidence, in some ways similar to the Ultra-Liberal New World Order caricature the Chick Track was depicting.

Apparently they have an issue of too many "immigrants" from the past like us.  I'm... not sure why, considering they genetically spliced us back together from frozen DNA they found.  They could... not?  But I guess that's part of the caricature.

Oh and Bibleman couldn't handle this ultraliberal dystopia, but fortunately a hip future kid has taken up the mantle in this future.  Of course, there's a unified world religion now... so Bible Lad's quotes are... great XD

That sounds amazing. Your GM is clearly having way too much fun with their setting and I kinda want to steal that plot now.
