Should I be able to find the spot again, or do I need to make some sort of Int/Wis check?

Geckoman & Quark, the Tuesday evening before (Sept 22nd), the Riverside Piers The Geckoman landed on the pier, hoverboard dissipating beneath his feet. "Alright, I should be able to try and lead us to where I overheard these guys, and track them down by smelling the testosterone and cheap aftershave. It'll linger in my tubes for days, but that's a sacrifice I suppose I'll have to make. Now, follow me and we'll try to keep low-key for now. Well, low-key for a silver dude and a guy in lurid green. At least we don't have capes." He wandered off trying to find where he'd overheard that conversation.

Maybe he saw Highlander and swore not to sound like Christopher Lambert?

Alternate Form in Ultimate Power seems to have the Projection flaw on it, leaving your unconscious body behind. And as it technically isn't a minion, it shouldn't run into any problems with the board rules and PL, while still having effectively the same effect. As an aside, Doc, you mentioned a while ago possible talks of making the minion rules a bit less restrictive. Did that come to anything?

Well, as a 1 pp feat you can't exactly cut any point off of it. Just put it down as a complication if you suddenly need lightning powers, should be able to get them RAW, but can't due to the constraints on your powers.

Variable Descriptor from Ultimate Power might do what you're looking for, if you essentially want the same powers with a different descriptor to them.

Now remember, when you meet the guys in the store, Arrowhawk has a nice Scottish twang to his accent. Everyone wants a Scot, we're more fun than those martial artist dudes. :P

The football one is brilliant. At the risk of sounding ignorant, who's the last guy who flew in at the end? I .laughed even though I clearly didn't get the joke at all. (I'm sorry, but I play real football. )

Wait... I've at no point said the activity was tonight. I said I wanted to find the guys I'd overheard tonight, only with backup. Sorry if I hadn't made it clear enough. I acknowledged the next week here, although I confess to not being very clear on the latter part of the plan.

Notice check, Intelligence check (1d20+5=21, 1d20+1=6) Well, looks like he'll notice something but not know what it is. Cue pointing it out to Quark and having him give exposition? :P

*bursts out of a cake*

Well, as an arch-nemesis who a) already has one hero to beat on and would kill Gecks in about 10 seconds, probably not. Anyone who can fight Freedom Leaguers is a little out of his league. Evidently one of the two is a Man-Bat homage then Then I suppose I shall have to create my own arch-nemesis for him, with much more advanced zappy weaponry than him! I suppose nullifying the ability to cling to walls by electrostatic charge would be a limited version of the 1pt version of Nullify (one particular power or descriptor at a time), right?

I was wondering if there was one, as this recent announcement and surge in NPC submission made me realise... I've yet to deal with the plot point of who actually built Geckoman's equipment? I figured, if FC didn't have an analogue to him, I'd be even more shameless with the Spider-Man... homage... and have an electricity-themed supervillain. Mainly because if you could repel the van der Waals forces holding a gecko to a wall, it's going to fall off the side of that skyscraper and hit the pavement. :D

Being a Scot, I actually had to go google why there'd be no work on Labor Day... Yeah, I could see August 25th for first day of classes. The Welcome and airport threads'd be on the same day, probably the Saturday so trhey could get settled in. Yeah, that probably sounds about right due to the hecticness of the start of school. All that work to set up a Claremont team and half the players vanished...

He doesn't roll the save at all for attacks of up to +9 damage. +10 and above, you roll the save as you normally would. As for whether he feels it or not, that all comes down to descriptors (i.e. you)

Geckoman & Quark, the Tuesday before (Sept 22nd) "My parents used to call me Chuckles when I was little," mused Chris, steering down towards the Pier and bringing the ship in to water-land some distance from it, hopefully obscured by darkness. "Right, we're going to have to fly to shore," he said, opening the hatch far enough to exit but not far enough to let water rush in. Pressing buttons on a holographic display at the back of the ship, a glowing board of light appeared underneath him and hovered up through the hatch and into the air. "Let's go kick ass and chew bubblegum!"

The Welcome to Claremont thread began on Sun 28th September as a follow-on to this airport thread (Sat September 13th) so I think Claremont would start on that Monday, the 8th September. THat sound about right? I'd place this as a couple of weeks after the start of the Claremont year, as they arranged it in that thread. I'd also place this at the start of September, as it sets his classes for the year. I'd similarly maybe put all the placement tests at Claremont within a couple of days of each other. And could you add this one please: September 4th, 2008: Arrowhawk makes his FC debut, attacking a mob casino, fighting a super-powered thug and meeting Foreshadow. (The Quicker You Start, The Quicker You'll Finish) Saves me forever checking back to see when his debut was...

Arrowhawk pulled out a net arrow, pulling together the brute's wrists and smashing the tip off of them. The net burst out to contain his hands. "If he wakes up, this should at least give us a few moments to gather ourselves before he tries anything. The stretchy one was moving too fast for any of us, so I hope the others have better luck catching her." He stood and turned to face the other heroes. "I'm Arrowhawk," he said, pointing at the white bird logo on his shirt. "Not been here long enough to know any of you by sight, sorry."

I'm in exams so activity will be sporadic for the next couple of weeks, although probably not hugely so.

You mean all the pain could have been avoided!?

I think it's per one of your characters, i.e. if you have two of your PCs in one vignette then it's a two-page one.

The mind boggles! Cannot... keep... paradox... contained.

"No, Mr Carrey! TAKE OFF THE FALSE BEARD!!!!"

Ah, two rookies! Well, Scarab technically is a rookie. Time to school them in the ways of the old school.

Finally, you can call yourseld Quark! How long has it been now?
