The mage could gain Immunity To Normal Weapons by Channeling a Great Form. ;) |

now would that be channel sky spirit/air elemental, or.... city spirit (leap tall buildings and all that). 'Course only problem is that only last 10-20 minutes on average. "I am IMMUNE to your attacks! But uhh... let's not let this drag out too long, 'k?"

How long do your typical combat engagements last?
If they are really longer than 15-20 minutes, the I guess the Shaman will have to whip up anohter Great Form. :P |

yeah good point. The Superman fights in the movies dont even last that long. That's always sort of bothered me, that most fire fights are oven within about 30 seconds. I suppose it's more realistic, but I prefer to drag things out a bit and it's tough in certain situations.
And heck, in my game, I am the shaman with invoking and channeling! Hehe, I once saw a player burn off a butt load of karma and do rerolls ( in the end, we actually watched him roll a 35!) to channel a force 20 Fire elemental (he'd burn just about as much getting a couple services from it in the first place) and get all excited about getting to toast some 'baddies', but he didn't know about the duration. He of course only got one success on channeling, and the duration was up before we got anywhere near a fight. So of course he took 20D. Physical. He probably should have read the power description a bit more. |

Well, it he had waited untill the fight started then he would have probably clobbered them all in one combat turn, with +20 +10d6 initiative and all. |

Yeah, but all the foci in the world don't mean diddly when you're in space or for that fact, even on Mars. Immunity to Vaccuum, & cosmic radiation would be more appropriate here Off the top of my head, the only critters I can remember of from any fiction (Game, Book, TV, Movie) that can survive the harsh environment of Outer Space are: The Space Amoeba from the original Star Trek Mynoks (sp?) and the Asteroid Worm from Star wars "Empire" (though this doesn't explain how Han & Luke could go walking around in that scene wearing only a respirator) The Acanti from the X-Men (there was also a similar creature in either Star Trek "Voyager" or "Enterprise") the Alien from movie of the same name and... quite possibly Batman (from the old series) using his patented "Bat Space Survival" pill. "you never know when you may need it old chum." |

Would work, theoretically, but I figure insanity from being outside the Gaiasphere of earth would set in first. :scatter: |

Nördlinger, in the center of the 15-million-year-old Nördlinger Ries 25-kilometre diameter impact crater. Background Count: 4, adds 1 die to summoning fire spirits. The local earth, fire and forest spirits are unusual and difficult to understand; most scientists attribute this to reverbrations from the ancient meteorite impact, others claim the spirits are alien to Earth and native to another world. Meeting site for the Weisse.

Has anyone noticed the rumor in T: WL about a secret Ares facility on Mars? Or the planned Ares mission to Europa (one of Jupiter's moons) in 2064?
The research is progressing, almost finished processing T: WL, and the some of the most interesting snippets of space information in it aren't nescerily in the space section... |

Ah, you mean the Vostok bit? What with Yamatetsu going Evo and transhumanist plus all the space malarkey, I can't help but keep thinking of Transhuman Space. :)
