im @ work and without my books so i cant give you specifics now, but
theres nothing wrong with just saying "congratulations your an animal
hybrid" and he still uses the default character generation.
a lot of ppl complain animal hybrid rules are unballancing anyway.
you could just do it through roleplaying, like blanka.

cryptic studios (http://www.crypticstudios.com/) is doing an online
multiplayer pc game where you design and play your own superheroes,
with any look, or powers, you want.
highly customizeable, especially with the powers and the way you look.
check out the pics and movies at their site.
and if you dont like cooperative mission mode you can go to
the "arena" and fight each other. you can even place bets on the
outcome with your characters virtual money.
I smell streetfighter.....
that would be fun as hell to make streetfighters and fight each other
neh?

Adobe Distiller is a professional grade converter available to those of us
who have Pagemaker. Also QuarkXpress can do a fair intimation with Export.
But if what you want is good layout with visual graphics you should probably
Import to Illustrator then Export to PDF.

Distiller is also a part of Adobe Acrobat 5.0.
I haven't noticed any problems with converting my Word files...but maybe I haven't used enough.

I believe someone's SF web page has the rules for Animal Hybrids. Anyone?
The Animal Hybrid rules do scare me. I've always told my players that they
can be an animal hybrid, but just make the character as normal and use
roleplaying.
Street Fighters can start with high stats (like 5s), and that could always
be explained by a animal powers.
Also, you can use/create Merits/Flaws like Enhanced Smell (certain # of
freebie points to lower perception rolls based on smell by a certain
amount). I don't know the stuff offhand, but I seem to recall someone's
Street Fighter web page having a long list of Merits and Flaws, some of
which could enhance an Animal Hybrid.

I cannot participate in any polls because I apparently do not exist.
Can the admin help me out here?
It probably doesn't help that I have no recollection of my old Yahoo

I even created a new Yahoo account, but apparently it's impossible to verify

Sounds awesome to me, but we better hold off for
now. I am thinking of altering the system soon, in the areas of PLUS Maneuvers
and making more additions to the Bonuses and Weaknesses section.
hey pittman you know what would be cool? a javascript

I realize that it would be fun to create new PLUS Maneuvers, but
the damage done if that was allowed would be enormous. Think of a player who
creates 5 new Maneuvers that can be used at any time with any other
Maneuver, all of which enhance damage. Add those to a powerful Maneuver, and
you have a character dealing 50 dice of damage against his enemies. I didn't
want a system that could be abused like that. I suppose I could
make a rule that limits how many PLUS Maneuvers can be used with each other,
and then set down rules for creating new PLUS Maneuvers. What do you
think?
I'd like a system for new PLUS maneuvers.
It's a hole in an otherwise great system. It's also a bit unfair
as it stands- Not all PLUS maneuvers are equal, and their costs shouldn't be.
Perhaps you could create catagories for PLUS maneuvers to limit how
they can be combined.
"Sit by my fire, and hear a tale."
Arkon, Dark Lord of Chaos; Keeper of Mysteries; Circuit Folklorist;
Seeker of the Lost Paths
I was thinking of limiting the maneuvers to one
type per turn - only one Maneuver to add to speed per turn, one to add to damage
per turn, and the like. therefore you could use PLUS Maneuvers to add to Speed
and Damage in one turn, for example. If you wanted more damage, you would have
to learn a better PLUS Maneuver (with the first damage-increasing PLUS Maneuver
as a prerequisite).
Hmm.. How about restircting PLUS maneuvers to only one per
cost type. As in one maneuver costing Chi(Psychokinetic Channeling) and
only one maneuver costing Willpower(Kiap) at the siame time is legal. But
not two Chi powers or Willpower powers. In my system we can only use
1 Willpoweer each turn anyway. But as many chi as you have
Focus.
Hmmms. Maybe you can use more Chi powers, but to a limit of Half
your Focus rating??
What d'you
think?
