I've got mine all ready to rock - and in multiple sizes too! ...Said the actress to the bishop!

I dont see anything regarding guns which may be unbalancing however adding technology is a great way to unbalance rules unless you are careful how it is done. My main issue is that there should be some difference between pistol rounds and rifle rounds, and also automatic weapons (so essentially 3 subtypes). My original suggestion was pistol rounds do 1 damage (so a bit of a nerf), and rifle rounds do 2 damage (so no change there). Which makes sense to me (I'd also argue that 1 handed weapons do 1 damage, and 2 handed weapons do 2 damage - so everything is nice and simple). For automatic weapons, an advantage mechanic seems the most fitting ...but perhaps it should be done at -1 (or maybe -2) to hit (to simulate the fact that a gun on full auto is harder to control). Thanks for your suggestions. I agree it is probably abit op now so I will go with Kris's original idea and reduce pistols to 1. Will update the rules later.

OK so I wasn't overly happy with how the 'death' rules worked last night, so I have come up with an ingenious new system.
If you reach 0 stamina, you fall unconscious, as before. If you get into negative stamina, you have to make a 'recovery roll' each round. 1-5 succeeds, 6-10 fails. After 3 successes, you regain consciousness, after 3 failures, you die.
I have also changed the rules on super dodge. You can now not dodge slams unless you have mega dodge. You can dodge a slam if you roll 1 on the dodge roll, though.
Hope that is okay with everyone.

so that would've meant that his super shield couldn't have fended off all four of us whaling on him at once?!

couple of questions that won't come up in play for some time - just thinking ahead.
1 What happens if I want a power from a super sorcery spell to last longer than 10 minutes? - if I pay the same cost again is it just another 10 minutes duration? - and if I paid a higher cost at the outset to make them last longer, would it last longer than just stacking the durations?
2 Is there a way to make a magic item? - I am thinking of a way to store magical power - there might be days when I don't use all of it and it would be great to be able to store it in a ring or something

Well I suppose there's a first time for everything(!) 1 What happens if I want a power from a super sorcery spell to last longer than 10 minutes? - if I pay the same cost again is it just another 10 minutes duration? - and if I paid a higher cost at the outset to make them last longer, would it last longer than just stacking the durations? How about this? For 1 extra point you can have an hour, for 2 extra points a whole day. couple of questions that won't come up in play for some time - just thinking ahead. 2 Is there a way to make a magic item? - I am thinking of a way to store magical power - there might be days when I don't use all of it and it would be great to be able to store it in a ring or something Not really. As you are the first and possibly only person in existence to have this power, it is really up to you to investigate. You could try I guess, but how you would go about it, I have no idea...

another question! - if I cast a spell on willing participants, could they use some of their power points to fuel it?
I am thinking that: - it would always cost me a minimum of 1 power point per spell - it could only be done as a ritual - so lots of prep and a minimum of 10 minutes per spell

Casting a spell in this way would be difficult for you, but it could be done with careful study of the recipient.

That makes sense: the first time you do a ritual with and on someone you need to attune yourself to their mystical energies; each time you did it after that you'd have already done this attunement and wouldn't need to redo it.
Looks fair enough to me.
So: seeing as how we want to go sneaking into the nurses office in the hospital AND we don't want to split the party, is everyone going to be OK to share the cost of casting a disguise or shapeshift or illusion spell with me?

and I have had an idea for how to create magic items.... - use the conjuring power as a spell and then put - say - 3 extra power points in it, assuming that scales up to it lasting for a week... - and perhaps 6 extra points would make it permanent? - let me know... - and the item that I conjure would be a magic item capable of storing magical energy...

That seems....possible. But as I say, all this is very new to you and the universe, so you might need to experiment a while before you have any chance of creating anything.
