That decided, then, I now have the basis for an intro to the next adventure. I'll try to have the first post up tomorrow evening.
I'm reminded, Theodore currently has a whole new look! Been waiting to show this for awhile now, and with us moving onto issue two I finally can.
Just a quick question of cool power interaction. If I got the sensory link skill for my telepathy, could Rift open a gate from where I could see?

I'd allow it.
Good idea.... I like that use of combining powers. I don't want to be able to do the same thing via video surveillance though - I like to limit myself a bit.. I see it her power operating in a sort of: must know where the destination is relative to herself with high precision. Sensory link would provide that.
I'll put a story spin on it to make it not too over powerful, but yeah, power combinations is where its at.
Went to read up on the Telepathy power and turns out pictures aren't really a factor in it (so massive cheating in the first chapter with mental maps).
The ESP power would work here, but I want to add it as a power feat or modifier to my telepathy (either two way or one way) so I can share what I see to others or possibly vice-versa. The current rank modifier affects range that I can send my senses to "see" but I want to limit it to normal, and instead send the images and sounds to others.
Could I do it like that and would it be a +1/rank modifier or just a +1 flat bonus.
Since I didn't catch it and/or it's vague, I'll allow it as a Power Feat (cost 1 total). You can get it temporarily for scene for the cost of a Hero Point if you don't have a PP available.
The DC was 15, and he rolled a 14, did I miss something Rando?

Don't think so:
Paralysis:
"If the save fails, the target is slowed and can only take a standard or move action each round (not both). The target takes a –1 penalty on attack rolls, Defense, and Reflex saves. A slowed target moves at half normal speed."
I think that's what I described happening, isn't it?
Yes, he would be paralyzed if he failed by 5 or more, or on a second successful attack. Perhaps mind control might be needed here?

Right, but so far as I know he's only failed once by 1, so slowed, correct?
Ah, I see now. That was my mistake then, I was picturing it like they were literally being frozen/prevented from moving. Well, as in the immediate affect. I thought if he passed, then he would be slow. I didn't read the power as clearly as I should've. I can always attack him again, yes?
I can always attack him again, yes?
Yes, if he fails a second time, he's completely paralyzed. That said, even 1/2 his move will carry him outside this room this round. So assuming your other teammates don't attempt to stop him this round (or fail to without giving it away), yes.
Aside note Rando, unless he took theninvisiguy with him, he would've taken damage too. And if he did, then I believe invisiman is currently trying to attack them
FYI after we finish this scene up, the adventure will be done for a few days anyway, so you're good on this one. Thanks for letting me know.
Gonna save mine for the moment, to save up for a new level in his primary power
Is it two Power Points, or two Equipment Points, for the base?
You're right, I meant 2 Equipment Points, basically two additional Features.
Anyone have any ideas on what they'd like added? I think a good idea might be a training room, but up to you folks.
Decommissioned Lucatech Lab Facility / Real name to be determined.
Size: Large; Underground complex 2pts
Toughness: 20; Double-thick Titanium Walls 3pt
Features: Computer, Concealed 2 (DC 25), Communications, Fire Prevention System, Infirmary, Laboratory, Power System, Security System 2 (DC 25), Worskshop, Gym, Garage, Pool, Living Space, Library, Defense System, Hangar, Holding Cells 2 (Nullify, Toughness 30), 20pts
Training room sound good!
We had a pool? Nice! A library even. Atticus needs to spend more time at base.
Training room works for me.
Okay! Sounds good. Misrecalled a bit, but good enough. So, we have the training room then which is: The Gym, pool attached, and the newly installed Combat Simulator which is entered... probably near the back of the gym.
What should the last point be for?
Rando, are you ruling that I'm outside of my suit at the time of the attack?
I am, though I will say your suit is on premises, you can suit up relatively quickly.
I'm trying to think of a way to help Tesla out, but I'm drawing blanks on what I could do... Maybe while in the car with Betty, we're able to spot the explosion and drive to it? I'll pay up a hero point so we can get there in time if you'd like.

Tesla will be fine. It's a complication subplot, he's not going to get lynched or anything.
Shouldn't Tesla have 20hp, not 10? The formula was 20+(10 x Con mod).

Thanks. I didn't go back and look up the formula. You are correct. I added that in there specifically so heroes and villains wouldn't drop as easy as normal people. So, retcon unneeded.
Also, I should probably spend those 2 PP we just got on some more Con, huh? >.<
Well, I don't plan on catching you unawares often, but yes, it can happen occasionally. Some of the best comic stories have been when villains have hit the heroes "where they live" so to speak, but I will definitely use the trope sparingly.
Makes sense that they'd go after Tesla first, he is after all our lone public hero.
Regulators, hm? Interesting. Would we have heard about this on the news or social media? Also, does anyone know what the last EP should be used for?

You can have heard it if you choose. That's exactly where the young officer who greeted the team got the name.
Maybe we could use the last point for another 'power' for the cells, like something to restrain particularly dangerous foes?
Sorry I haven't posted much. Got the double wammy of heavy workload and the flu. I'll catch up this weekend.
Sorry to hear that, I hope you feel better soon!
Hope you feel better.
Take care over there, Rando, don't rush yourself for our sake
Thanks guys. Feeling much better this morning.
Okay, after seeing our initials on the map, I think we should call our group "The GSTARs"!
;)
Snrk, that's ridiculous, yet I love it.

Right now Regulators is only something being used on a podcast and blog. You guys come up something you like better, be it Gstars or something else, I'll go with it.
Is Rift still with us? She hasn't posted in awhile.
Honestly I don't think so. I messaged her regarding posting and she hasn't replied.
I feel like I haven't really done my best at making challenges for the PCs abilities in this game; you all have a very different set of powers than one normally encounters in a super team, and I think the player might have gotten a little bored waiting for a moment to shine.
Oh, would I have had enough time to recover from fatigue by now?

Sure.
Think we'll do alright as a four man band? Was considering bring betty along as a sidekick to help make up for the smaller supergroup, but I'm unsure of it being worth it.
