What we learned from tonight's M&M

[james_davis_nicoll]

The GM is busy so we got together to play with the rules. What we really learned is that we need an M&M guru to question.

Anyone got thoughts on what "save for half damage" means in M&M, which has no hit-points?

Oh, and it turns out the mentalist can mentally grabble either the entire population of the Eastern Seaboard at once or everyone in North America, I forget which. Selectively, too. This kind of puts Ben's motto of "never stop fighting until you've done at least a million dollars damage" into perspective. Although in the test combat we did, the characters did manage to stop a robbery that would have netted tens of thousands of dollars with only major structural damage to the bank.

OK, that tops what one of my players could do with his Ninjas & Superspies/Heroes Unlimited character. His 'open hand push' at first level did a one mile[1] knockback, but no damage.


[1] It was 1' per point of Chi, which would typically mean something on the order of 30-50'. He was a pre-revision Ancient Master who had focused on martial arts that maxed out Chi multipliers.
