Dr Archeville Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 Not a bad month -- 12 PL bumps :clap:, and 4 new Player Status Awards ! All characters except those in ref have been updated; the remained will get updated as soon as they get their thread lists to the Ref! As mentioned, there are a few new House Rules, going into effect immediately: PowersAlternate Form: Increasing the Action to use this power is a -1pp per step Drawback, not a -1pp/rank per step Flaw. (Since Alternate Form is not something one normally activates multiple times per combat -- in most cases, you activate it at the start of a fight and do not turn it off until you're done -- requiring a longer time to active it is not as big a hindrance as it would be for Attack effects like Blast, which would be used almost every round.)Concealment: Increasing the Action to use this effect is a -1pp per step Drawback, not a -1pp/rank per step Flaw. (See Alternate Form for the reasoning.)Density: Increasing the Action to use this effect is a -1pp per step Drawback, not a -1pp/rank per step Flaw. (See Alternate Form for the reasoning.)Growth: Increasing the Action to use this effect is a -1pp per step Drawback, not a -1pp/rank per step Flaw. (See Alternate Form for the reasoning.)Insubstantial: Increasing the Action to use this effect is a -1pp per step Drawback, not a -1pp/rank per step Flaw. (See Alternate Form for the reasoning.) (Shrinking gets a pass on this; while it would be internally consistent for us to make increasing its Action be a Drawback rather than a Flaw, the Refs feel Shrinking is overpriced as is for what it does and so could use the cost break.) (Most of these were all rules we'd had in our House Rules at one time, but they were accidentally omitted at some point.)Power ModifiersAutofire: Autofire is to be limited to one rank.Subtle: Subtle for the Communication power works as stated in ULTIMATE POWER. For all other effects, Subtle works as follows: Subtle 1 requires a DC 20 Notice check to be detected by normal senses, but is noticed automatically by appropriate Awareness/Detect super-senses. Effects with Subtle 2 cannot be detected by normal senses, but can be noticed by an appropriate Awareness/Detect super-sense if the observer makes a DC 20 Notice check.CombatDamage: Rather than being stunned by failing a Toughness save, characters will be dazed.Dazed: You are unable to take actions. You retain your dodge bonus to Defense.Since you're unable to take actions while Dazed, you will still need to make Concentration checks to maintain any Sustained-Duration powers (like Force Field), and are unable to use any Concentration-duration powers while Dazed. The Refs are also working on tweaks on how PL is noted on character sheets (since not all chars are actually at the PL they have earned by virtue of power points), but there are many factors that go into PL, and thus so many things to track, this is still being debated. The Refs are still also discussing slight changes to the Player Reward system; I can tell you that no one will be losing or having to give up anything, so do not fear that. Now, on with the points! Arranged by Player, it looks like this: alderwitch Bombshell: 2pp Phantom: 1pp Psyche: 3pp angrydurf Ace Danger: 1pp Phalanx: 1pp Aoiroo Catalyst: 4pp Changeling: 3pp Silhouette: 2pp Arichamus Heraldo: 1pp King of Suits: 4pp AvengerAssembled Citizen: 3pp Edge: 3pp Freedom Angel: 1pp Harrier: 1pp Azuth65 Wisp: 4pp and can now be PL 12 :clap: Breella Flora: 7pp and can now be PL 11 :clap: Broseidon Satyr: 1pp Cubist Jubatus: 1pp Cyroa Dark Star: 0pp Torque: 3pp and can now be PL 11 :clap: Dariusprime Fulcrum: 3pp Darksider42 Rift: 2pp and can now be PL 12 :clap: Dr Archeville Dead Head: 2pp Doktor Archeville [maxed]: 3pp Protectron: 2pp Ecalsneerg Arrowhawk: 1pp Equinox: 1pp and can now be PL 12 :clap: (she actually hit this a month or two ago, it was never noted!)

KnightDisciple Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 Um. Not trying to be a pain, but, Gabriel should have 3pp. As noted here, he got 16 IC posts, 17 counting the 2/1 GM posts. And Sonya Sokolova, posted and approved in August, was only my 2nd NPC submitted (Fenris doesn't count since he was made as a PC, and I specifically asked and requested his NPC-change not count; he'll be un-NPCed eventually). Thus, she should net me 1 PP. That said, my mistake may have been in not explicitly noting where that PP is supposed to go, which is Gabriel. Which gives him 210PP, and should make him Silver.

Fox Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 Hm. Might be miscounting, but I tally 11 posts in Way to Go, Wendigo! and at least 6 in In a Detroit Minute, which should be at least 17 for Wraith, or 2pp. Again, though, could be missing something...goodness knows I've been up for a while.

Dr Archeville Posted September 3, 2011 Author Share Posted September 3, 2011 Hunh, I do have you as marked down for 2pp for Wraith in one spot, but 1pp in another. Weird. Fixed now! Link to comment
Tendril Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 Err, I didn't realize till just now that I had to list my 20Q, and art and wiki page in the thread list for it to be counted sorry about that, so I should have a couple more points. Link to comment
Dr Archeville Posted September 4, 2011 Author Share Posted September 4, 2011 Err, I didn't realize till just now that I had to list my 20Q, and art and wiki page in the thread list for it to be counted sorry about that, so I should have a couple more points. The 20Q will count (and I'll amend that now), but your bare-bones Wiki page will not. What art page? (Or do you mean the pic of Tendril on the Wiki page? That alone won't count for an extra point, either.) Link to comment
Tendril Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 kk, entirely cool don't know now much anything needs to be to count. and yes I intend to expand it, just wanna get some actual gaming in first. Link to comment
