The FASERIP setup was perfect for teaching anyone how to play and for creating characters who are neigh impossible to describe in other (point based) systems. I loved getting to hear about the origin story for the game.Chancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10185294168905336167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2638993969706011706.post-25607365840053529732012-06-22T15:52:34.779-07:002012-06-22T15:52:34.779-07:00I guess Thanos is a narrative guy instead of a min...I guess Thanos is a narrative guy instead of a min-maxer then.

In FASERIP "A character using a blunt weapon inflicts up to that item's material strength; if the material strength of the item is greater than the Strength rank of the user, the user's Strength rank is increased to the lowest value of the next rank for damage. Aunt May (Feeble Strength) uses a lead pipe (Excellent material) in the drawing room on Col. Mustard. Aunt May would inflict two points damage normally, but inflicts three points (minimum damage of next higher rank) instead. Daredevil (Good Strength) using the same lead pipe would inflict 16 points damage (minimum damage of next higher rank), and the Thing (Monstrous Strength) would inflict Excellent damage (20 points). (That is why Ban Grimm does not normally use lead pipes in combat -- when he uses a blunt weapon, its purpose is usually to reach a non-adjacent target, and he has a preference for lightpoles.)"Zak Sabbathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08812410680077034917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2638993969706011706.post-38416675987418383682012-06-22T12:15:20.822-07:002012-06-22T12:15:20.822-07:00I love that cover, but I always thought Spider-Man...I love that cover, but I always thought Spider-Man would make a poor bludgeoning weapon, espicially against the Thing.NaldoDrinanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05925017763253597522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2638993969706011706.post-2007086700596159062012-06-22T12:00:55.061-07:002012-06-22T12:00:55.061-07:00Great interviewing, Zak.
