Super You, Take Two (OOC)

[Stan Cold]

Coincidentally, I was just working on a short story with a character named Tim, so it actually sprouted from that rather than the other speedster. That does not, however, change the fact that I need to fix this problem I have with names.

[Skitzophrenik]

We also have a lot of "A" names.

I need to spend points on equipment? What are the rules concerning equipment?

[FreakyBoy]

1 point spent on the Equipment Feat entitles you to 5 points worth of equipment. A sword is 5 points (3 for its damage bonus, 1 to let you add your strength, and 1 for an increased critical range).

Literally everything in Mutants and Masterminds is bought with points. "Can I" is almost always answered with "if you have the points for it".

[Kajin]

If I'd known that I wouldn't have spent my one remaining point on intimidation. I really need to get a copy of this game book.

[Skitzophrenik]

I'll host the pdf when I get home tonight.

[Kajin]

Awesome, thanks.

[FreakyBoy]

I described the air as "relatively still", compared to the whipping winds outside. There is a slight breeze, about the same as you'd experience in any building with actively running environmental controls.

[Salamander]

Need to double check how I spent my points last time before I add any. Unfortunately, I keep forgetting to do that -_-;

[Kajin]

Are the students even allowed to carry melee weapons on their person on the school premises?

[balthazar]

If Alex can get away with carrying a concealed handgun, I doubt much fuss will be raised over a few melee weapons. After all, we don't attend this school for our health...

[Kajin]

Yeah, there is that. Belding didn't seem to raise too much fuss about Alex having the gun, so a big ol broadsword strapped to the back might not be such a big deal. Unless FreakyBoy says otherwise, of course.

I'll just go ahead and have the sword in Adam's possession, but he won't actually use it until the points for it have been spent. If we need appropriate justification for why he doesn't think to carry it on his person, we can probably give that a handwave by explaining that Adam was under the effect of a localized idiot-ball generating raygun that Alex tested on him.

[Grillick]

Gary and Greg are the same name, Mr. I-Fix-People's-Typos-In-Color!

[Kajin]

If I'm being a bother by jumping in like that, let me know.

[Salamander]

Jimmy needs to take Super-Law.

[lawschool]Laws affecting Superheroes are probably not subject to strict scrutiny, given that superheroes are likely not a member of a suspect classification. Powers are closer to factors such as age or disability as opposed to race or religion. As such, laws affecting them are probably subject to rational basis review, which means that as long as the government is discriminating to further a rational interest of the government, then it may do so.[/lawschool]
