Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing 13: This Is A Banned List Not A Drinking
* My Superhero Origin can't be that I'm a little kid kidnapped by a mad scientist and infused with nanomachines, not unlike the exabytes from DCUO, containing the DNA, skills, knowledge, mystical or technological information, memories, and metahuman energy of Steppenwolf, Harley Quinn, Atrocitus, Professor Zoom, Alkyone, and The Marshal to create an evil counterpart of Shazam who none the less dwarfs the original in power and skill.
** "I wanted a Batman villain" does not adequately explain why Harley is lumped in with those powerhouses.
***The reason I'm a hero instead of a villain was "the idiot forgot to brainwash me."
****The explanation for how having the knowledge and memories of all of those villains and psychoses didn't drive me insane shouldn't be "uhduhnuh."
*****The powers shouldn't be dormant until I shout "Shazam!" which trigers a horrific, Akira-esque biomechanical metamorphosis.
******Said metamorphosis shouldn't culminate into a standard "ideal of fitness and beauty" adult superhero body.
*******I can't be incredibly cheerful about all of the above.I also answer to Bookmark and Shadow Claw.

* May not turn the billionaire-playboy corporation-owning superhero archetype into a figurative form of landed nobility like a samurai or a knight
** the city they work in may not be the land they defend
*** Batman getting a Robin to train isn't just a knight getting a squire
**** may not make billionaire heroes fight each other over cities out of perceiving each other of doing badly at defending them from crime
***** May not recreate game of thrones or the Sengoku Jidai out of corporate superheroes fighting to bring order to the world.

* My superhero concept cannot be 'I get short term powers whenever I'm exposed to toxic waste'.
* 'There are problems you can't solve with a spell' is not an invitation to abuse the ritual magic rules.

1. Hold your left hand horizontal, fingertips pointing right.
2. Raise your thumb. That's the Keweenaw Peninsula.
3. Curl your pointer finger. That's the rest of the Superior shore.
4. Leave you middle and ring fingers. Those are St. Ignace and the Soo.
5. Scissor your pinky out as far as is comfortable. That's the point of land ending in Menominee.
I have NOT put too much thought into this over the years.
I'm pleasantly surprised at the number of the times I've made this gesture in response to the Mitten and gotten the response, "Oh, a Yooper!" *I* don't think it's obvious, but other Michiganders sure do recognize it.

Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing 13: This Is A Banned List Not A Drinking
Sounds like Paranoia, but with superheroes. Really ends up with less PVP and more scheming behind each other's backs. Is delightful chaotic fun.
*Escaping from alpha complex when a mission goes south is poor form.
**Making friends with the city sized cockroach the DM was expecting us to use the experimental weapon we stole on, is rude apparently.
***Riding the cockroach into battle against alpha complex, and using said experimental weapon as our main form of attack is just rubbing salt in the wound.

Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing 13: This Is A Banned List Not A Drinking
I don't even know if Transformers isn't just a giant D&D campaign that happens to be transforming robots.
* Having a transformer ponder what was first, the vehicle or the robot is NOT locking them in a logical loop.
** Seriously, Quintesson slave lords are basically just mindflayers crossed with Ferengi.
*** Sufficiently developed robot magic is indistinguishable from mortal magic.
**** I am not to try and technobabble my way out of a deus ex machina plot device to explain how it is not magical and totally rooted in this world's lore.
***** The term deus ex machina is especially avoided for deities born from advanced AIs saving the heroes.

* May not forge and wield a sword called the Ridicublade
** The sword may not start as a buster-sword sized sword
*** May not get larger, more powerful and more ridiculous every time someone points out how ridiculous it is

** Ironic or exploitative mindsets trying to game it may not get punished for pretending to believe
* may not make a Blade of Irony for the ironic or comedic minded
** The blade may not ironically, be unable to cut anything and in fact fuses things together or attaches them as it passes through
* may not make an Antimeme Blade that gets permanently stronger every time you use to kill someone who says a meme within you presence within the minute they say it
** the blade may not kill the wielder if they utter any meme themselves while they wield it.

*You may never base your magic item's properties on the concept of "liking something unironically".
** This does not include but is adjacent to believing into one of the following:
- yourself
- the power of friendship
- the power of incredible violence
- the heart of the cards
- your training
*** If one of you lot recycle just ONE tired anime or story trope above, I will personally craft a boss monster that counters all your shenanigans thus far.
**** If you truly believe in something, believe in the oversights and imcompetence of your DM.

Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing 13: This Is A Banned List Not A Drinking
I suspect that the explosion of an h-bomb is sufficient enough to deal aggravated damage to humans (considering that a grenade is). As vampires downgrade everything except their banes by one level the question is what the primary source of the damage is, if it's light or heat they'll be taking aggravated damage, if it's the shockwave probably just lethal.
Now your average vampire, after taking Disciplines into account, probably has about 11 health levels. If the bomb is able to do at least 22 damage (which I believe would be pretty small by fusion bomb standards) it's going to be difficult to get enough subjects to properly test this hypothesis.

Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing 13: This Is A Banned List Not A Drinking
I haven't been reading the rulebooks enough to remember, but I assume once all health levels are filled with bashing it turns into lethal, and then agg? And actual lethal and agg just skip the bashing part?
Also I'm pretty sure thermonuclear weapons are more or less an instakill against anything that isn't a... which WoD is this? Either way, I think you have to be at least a Mage with 5 dots in Forces to shrug it off and almost anything else pretty much turns into ashes?Cool elan Illithid Slayer by linkele.

Pretty much. Lethal and agg also push lesser damage to the next box, which IIRC can also 'roll over'.

Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing 13: This Is A Banned List Not A Drinking
I know some Prometheans are literally spawned from radiation(I think they’re the Zeka?) so if you mean those it makes sense. I hear mummies are incredibly powerful when they first wake up, but that powerful?
That being said yeah, even something like a True Fae is probably getting booted back into the Hedge if it gets a nuke to the face. Unless it has a contract for that, but I think those have limits?Cool elan Illithid Slayer by linkele.

Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing 13: This Is A Banned List Not A Drinking
Prometheans have a limited ability to come back from the dead, as long as they have a use left they can probably manage it. I'm not exactly sure how it works in 2e, but in 1e everybody could do it once and being an Orisian or buying their power let you do it as long as you had 2+ Azoth.
Mummies can regenerate from organs they've hidden in jars, or as a last ditch get their cult to put them in a new body (which isn't certain). They're also IIRC unkillable as long as they've Sealed Their Flesh, but I left my book at home and think that only lasts a few rounds per Pillar point you spend.
Yeah, fully powered mummies have mage levels of power, although they're not as flexible. They lose a lot of it as their Sekhem drops, but some tricks like Sealing The Flesh still work at Sekhem 1.
