h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

-Can duel wield 2 of the same weapons so long as they are not two handed
-A new distraction such as a balloon popping besides your ear (not yours you deafy) derails both trains of thought temporarily, but a continuing distraction such as pain can be concentrated past with split concentration.
-Seekers go off on a striaght line when the castor is distracted
-When a seeker is channeled through a psionic's body using redirect energy, it does not retain it's seeking ability
-Is Stun (psionic power) able to be negated by moves like center of being
-Status effects lasting 4+ turns require a doubling of center of being
-psionic moves such as slow cannot be stacked
-a quick guide to symbols like OOC as "<...>" or "" would be nice
-one make something and sell it even if they do not have the ability "Craft"
-Is Drain Life can be countered with center of being
-One has to be able to sense the location of a target for a seeker to track the target (Sight, Hightened Sense of Smell, Hightened Level of Hearing, touch, or using their mastery's senses [sensing body/mind/soul])
-since mask is aimed at the group of people, the castor must know where that group is
--When it is pitch black out and one uses flash, the affected react as if they were light sensitive(i.e. dissoriented and nausiated) and the light sensitive react the same except blindness lasts 3 turns instead of the standard 2
-falling from a greater height requires Stance of a Feather to be double up only if the fall is from above cloud level.
-pain shield only effects magic, and can be extended indefinatly until the castor is distracted. It does not prevent casting spells.
-Do the effects of a status ailment end after the person in the post after the ending post react to the ending post's actions and before the person makes an action of their own? i.e. If I cast Flash on post 10 and on post 11 I fling a rock at that person, they cannot see the rock in order to dodge it
-Mist and Darkness cover the entire battlefield regardless of size and also effects that castor
-a posting qualifies as one person posting their RPG actions and does not include multiple posts by the same person in a row.
-A turn is defined as a posting by the same person(not including multiple posts in a row after the first)
-Meditate will work to reduce pain of a heavy wound only if doubled
-In regards to learning: Money requirment would depend on person I guess. As for a point requirement... I think it would depend on discipline. With magic, you'd either need to abandon a spell or have more room in spellbook by earning points for soul. For Psi you would need a high enough psi latency. I'm completely lost for Chi but since its a physical move generally, it would probably take time and you would need to have a body point minimum. To be able to handle the stress of learning/using the move. And the lvl of the spell/ability depends on the creator. Probably same with cost to learn it (cost of materials plus cost of teaching) along with time to learn it.
-Low score=lower ability to cause damage using that skill. For example, a psion might have a body score of eight. Even though he has a sword he is probably not overly damaging with them. On the other hand, a telekinetically controlled sword in his hands would be deadly because of of a high mind score of, say, 26.
-a chi user cannot use two hands for dragon blows or dizzying palms at the same time
-Gravity Well is weaker than earth's gravity. thusly only small objects such as dust or small stones will remain airborn

**********IDEAS*********
-Psionic masters can detect a person's brainwaves using telepathy
-Chi masters can detect a person's inner Chi
-Magic Adepts can detect a person's soul
-If the a person has less than 5 a catagory they are invisible to those searchers when the searcher is using their powers to find them...this invisibility decreases in proportion to the points in this catagory
0-5=invisible
6-10=can easily be masked by a small animal or something of the sorts
11-15=can be masked in a fair sized croud of people(40+)
16-20=masked by a large croud(80+)
21-25=masked by a fair sized crowd with many people who are high on that scale(croud of 40+ half of which are high on that scale)
25+=not able to mask

-phobia superceeds(love that word) any other abilities like strong willed... see example: http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/class...thread=591654&post=6616371#p6616709


*********TO DO*************
-Which spells have vocal and/or physical components?
