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

I have an idea for this move:

In the naruto anime somebody states that person X doesn't use their muscles full strenght because of limits set upon it by the brain. They then break these limits to use near 100% of muscle strength.

Since psionics deals with the mind maybe psionic boost works the same way by temporarily removing the limits of the muscles?

well the real purpose of the move was for me to power up my weapons...I just wrote the "someone" part of it first then realized my mistake and figured that being able to do that to someone else would be cool too...since the move would be a very powerful move(if used correctly ) so then I though it would need a disadvantage...and to keep it from looking like I had tailored it to my charactor I made it lower the latency level to 5 so that it would prevent me from using any move available...and it isn't interuptable since the energy becomes part of the target until I draw it back(which can happen regardless of the state of the target (dead or alive, whole or in a fine dust)...I just realized it also requires physical contact so there's another disadvantage...I'm still kinda working the bugs out and all...the thing you suggested might be a good move for a chi master with a fair level of mind points...

Cool. I'll call it: "Limit Break" ... thats a move from Final Fantasy i think...

once you get it approved you can sell (technically teach) the move...

Fun.

Limit Break (Body Chi Move Thingy)(5)- Using mastery over chi, person can unleash 100% of muscles which increases speed, jump, power, ect.
Disadvantages: Using this much muscle power damages and tears the muscles (much the way that overexercise does). Person will be unable to boost their speed/power and will be weak for lets say 4 turns. Times two of course equals double recover time.


Does that seem balenced to you?

yea...a more tangible thing than weakness might be that the user can recharge their chi at a reduced rate (maybe 1/6 instead of 1/5)...but it's up to you...I think it sound good other than that...as you know(as well as I do) it's sometimes hard to remember that you are in a weakened state...

Slower recharge? Hmmm... that sounds better. How about due to weakened state- slower recharge.

sounds even better...

By the time the arbiters get back they going to have to deal with so much blog...

...true...anywho...for my own reference the RPG fight begins at http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/classic/F1742576?thread=591654&skip=40&show=20#p6616064

Post 55 to be exact Nice even number.

did that not take you right to the post?

yes. yes it did. I just like pointing out that we started at 55. We're on 160 something aren't we?

that sounds about right...

Fun. Soooo... if the arbiters don't get back do you want to help them out by setting up guidelines for the stores and learning new abilities and stuff?

well like I said...when we're finished with our battle we can present our suggestions...although we might have to tell mystrunner about the reawakening of the RPG...

Is he active?

I think so...

fun and joy and wee and yay.

okay...here we go...read over these and see if you have anything else you want to add...


*********Questions*********
-Can one duel wield weapons(possibly only weapons of the same type)
-With split concentration, can one be distracted and still use one ability?
-Do seekers fade or go off on a striaght line when the castor is distracted?
-When a seeker is channeled through a psionic's body using redirect energy, does it retain it's seeking ability (or in the case of psionics battle, does it divert to the control of the redirector)?
-Is Stun (psionic power) able to be negated by moves like center of being if the move locks up the target's mind? If it is doubled up would it do the job?
-Which status changing moves require doubling up of Chi moves to aliviate them?
-Can one stack psionic moves, such as slow, when they have split concentration?
-a quick guide to symbols like OOC as "<...>" or "" would be nice
-Can one make something and sell it if they do not have the ability "Craft"?
-Which spells have vocal and/or physical components?
-I have come up with the encantations for two spells so far, you are welcome to use them as the official encantations...they're on my stats sheet (Psyc)
-Is Drain Life considered a dibilitating effect that can be aliviated by moves like Force of Will?
-Do seekers automatically track the target or does the castor have to actually tell it where to go?
-Does one have to know where a person is in order to cast Mask and disguise something to that person?
-When it is pitch black out and one uses flash, wouldn't the effects be more powerful?
-Would falling from a greater height require Stance of a Feather to be double up?
-Does Pain Shield cause pain when chi or psi powers are used?
-Does Pain Shield prevent the target from 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, can see the rock in order to dodge it?
-Can one use meditate if they are in a great deal of pain, as the move requires(?) the user to go into a calm, trance-like state?


**********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
