Full Version: Ok NOW--Has Evo found anything on MARS!?
I just want to ask--do you think Evo has found anything up on MARS
anything is a pretty generic thing.
do i think they found anything on Mars? yes. i'm sure there are multitudes of rocks, and red dust for example.
if by anything you mean 'anything indicating the presence of sentient life on Mars', then i would say they probably did. not necessarily extraterrestrial life though, IMO.

Just for fun, slip in rumors that Evo discovered that Mars is not a manawarp, despite the fact that they have yet to find signs of life.
Only source books will tell.
Tell me now.

Elvis.
Dude, how CAN'T they find a big fucking pyramid on the surface of Mars?
maybe a sand storm picked up and burried it and then they found the remains of Val Kilmer and his crew.

Did someone summon me?

Dude. Paul is going to take so much drain.
Not if he has a summoning focus.
you never know... it may just be a force 1 ancestor spirit... in which case he will only be taking minor drain.
then again, elvis probably isn't force 1... hmmm... come to think of it... i wonder what force he would be...
maybe it's just an elvis impersonator ancestor spirit... that would be pretty low drain i think

Yes. But they're not telling you.
My parents live in Las Vegas, which is a +5 Power Site for summoning a single Elvis or even multiple Elvii. And I just got back from spending a week with them, so some of that positively aspected background count must have followed me home.
Stupid immortal Elvii. Go back to Oregon!
well the pics in The Big D's will looked like a dragon skeleton just to mention it- also is it remotely possible that any of the sites up there has a background count?
I think they found William Shatner
At this point you could take Capt. Kirk as A Totem/Metor Spirit Like Elvis

background count?
well, if by 'background count' you mean 'mana warp' much like what you will find in space, then i suppose you could say that.
so then, let's see... captain kirk as a mentor spirit... hmmm...
well, i think you need +2 to unarmed and whatever skill is used for seduction (con? negotiation? whatever. it would simply reflect women randomly wanting you rather than skill at seduction or anything like that though).
maybe a bonus when using lasers as well or something
hmmm... drawback: distinctive style (must overreact *everything*, no matter how small or insignificant). willpower(3) test to resist.
come to think of it, that's a rather annoying penalty... and one of the advantages is really not all that great (mechanically at least)... hmmm... let's go with also getting +2 on damage resistance tests maybe?
there you have it... Captain James Tiberius Kirk as a mentor spirit
Common, the Kirk'slap is well-known as being the most powerfull attack in the universe, even if you fall prone afterward 
And what about the vulcan pinch?

well, that's why they get +2 to unarmed checks.
to condense/clarify, here's the mentor spirit all in one place:
Captain James Tiberius Kirk
+2 unarmed checks, +2 dice on rolls to seduce women, +1* die on damage resistance tests
disadvantage: willpower test (threshold of 3) to avoid overacting/overreacting to everything.
the bonus to seduce women, once again, is not a result of skill at seduction, but rather reflects that by some twist of fate women want you.
*oh, and as i was looking at it, i thought +2 die on all damage resistance tests is rather big... so i dropped it to +1.
(hmmm... looks really good for an adept, if they were only allowed to have mentor spirits)
if you want vulcan neck pinch action, you would have to have Spock as a mentor spirit. i'd have to think a little for that...

they are; p.192

Dont Kirk learn to use it somewhere along the series?(neck pinch)
don't think so. neck pinch is pretty much exclusively a spock thing, iirc (although kirk may have learned it for 1 episode, it is possible. but really, i just don't see it... kirk's method of knocking people out is pretty much just beating them senseless).
anywho, interesting pg 192 says that, 'cause so far as i can tell, pg 79 says otherwise. specifically:

weird.... IIRC, there was a post in the errata or magic thread stating we should add Adept to that sentence.... altho I'm REALLY not sure.... it was some thing like: add adept (or mystic adept) to that sentence: 'blablaba'
might be. i try to avoid reading excessively long threads unless i'm pretty bored though
it's probably just a bad habit i got from the D&D boards (where just about any thread that goes beyond 2 pages is still going only because of flame wars)
so then, there we have it, a rather impressive mentor for an adept at least

You should had that the followers of Kirk must put on some lipstick... as he did in the series. And maybe be close to cross-dressing about clothes (what with that skirt?!)
Kirk mars? what the hell is this about now.

Series no, but by the movie era, both Shatner and Nimoy had worked out "anything he does, I get to do" clauses into their contracts with Paramount. I think it was #4 when Kirk manages to pull off the nerve pinch.
knew it.
But even if the nerve pinch is cooler... the Kirk'slap (then prone) attack is much more effective

Someone asked if EVO found anything on Mars, and as far as I know there is nothing in canon about what's on Mars (except some photos from Dunkie which don't show too much) so things just keep getting floated, like Elvis, William Shatner, and Drop Bears.
Apparently Capt. Kirk is one Kick Ass mentor spriit too.
bizarre.

well, yes. if you happen to be an adept.
and depending on how your GM rules on the drain/damage question (which reminds me... something i gotta ask my GM
)
Wouldn't a "Commander Spock" Totem/Mentor Spirit be more Hermetic in style (espousing Logic over emotional responses)?
Of course, the Toxic/Corrupted version would look like the Spock from Mirror Mirror....
As for the Vulcan Neck Pinch, there's the Adept power Nerve Strike, Magic in the Shadows p. 150-151. Instead of balling up your fist & hitting, just reach out....

SR3 .... how outdated (at least in this forum)

Hey I'm still finishing a campain using 3rd, when i'm done system Faliure and the death of the Chiba-3.
That's they way FanPro wanted the people to end SR3, i'm sure 
But giving a reference to SR3, rule-wise, in a SR4-forum doesn't offer much help, i guess (as BookWyrm did).

Actually, the neck pinch is an application of the Vulcan limited psycic ability that all Vulcans possess which is why it works regardless of the target's species or physiology. It is basicly a touch-range stun spell.
I've been on vacation and I've benn drinking---ok the krik mentor spirt mention was just a bit of a comeback that worked---but never mind that now; if their was a dragon up on Mars at one Time (whenever the hell that was) like was shown in the pic the good ol' BIG D provided----could there be any POWER SITES on Mars I mean Come ON!-----Their is a Friggin' Face on Mars~ It has GOT!--TO--HAVE Some Kind of Background Count!! 
My friend, you allude to things that are hinted at by crazy conspiracy theorists in the game. There is no real evidence (Or even dramatic allusion) to the things you are talking about. If you want to go with them, that's fine. They aren't canon, nor are they particuarly NOT canon. They are meant to be things for players to think about and get creeped out over because there are no answers for them.
So if you want us to provide the last peaice of evidence for you to pull together your crazy conspiracy theory, we can't. The writers specifically leave that information out so that we are always in the position of wondering.

How about the "shout your hated enemy's name" ability? "KHAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!! KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!"

Shatner's finest moment?
It may be. It may well be. (better than rocket-man)
