QUOTE (Fortune @ Jun 10 2008, 05:05 AM) A rose, by any other name ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) TM powers work in space, therefore they are not mages. A Mage tries to use his powers in space (unless he completely surrounded by a mana field, then he's screwed. A TM can go hog wild and the only thing he might feel is that the signal strength is "too weak" (not enough commlinks and/or network traffic.) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cyber.gif) |

Just a quick thought on GBs:
What if Laser Resistant was an armor upgrade, like Nonconductive or Fire Resistance? That solves that issue. You could have some uber hardened military armor with maxed laser resistance, environmental sealing, a too-big gauss rifle, strength enhancement, and foot anchors... Hmm. Okay, now I really need to get a copy of Arsenal. -paws |

QUOTE (KCKitsune @ Jun 10 2008, 01:37 AM) Except they can use their powers in Space. Take a TM to a space station and they can use their powers on the station's network. they can use their power to connect to the Matrix on Earth. The BBB is very specific about where a Mage's power craps out on them. With TM, it just says that TMs get annoyed when there is no wireless traffic. Also, Hentai, I will disagree with you, TMs are not mages, and don't use Mana energy for anything. You're absolutely right, they don't use Mana energy. Mana is the noetic energy of life-force. TM's use the noetic energy of technology. This is a totally different noetic space. |

yeah, if I did this, Glitter Boys and otehr Power Armor would be more in line with advanced tanks. MD was screwed up as hell, why not fix it????? The flavor of surviving nukes is just too (IMG:style_emoticons/default/silly.gif) .

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/wobble.gif) There are lots of things in rifts that survive multiple nukes. Because they don't do that much damage! Rant: [ Spoiler ] |
