Yes, you can go hero and get Call to Justice on your Mastermind. And yes, it will work on your goons.

Only actual player characters can be used as Vengeance targets. I assume it can be targeted for purposes of Dark Extraction and the like.

The mercenary guy was Matthew Burke.

If you leave the mission after the obelisk explodes but before the cutscene plays, the mission objective never changes to the "you have one minute to get out before the Phalanx shows up" objective, and so the mission becomes impossible to complete.

In order to do this, you need to start the bit where the obelisk explodes and immediately head for the exit. You can just make it to the exit truck and click on it as the cutscene starts, thus breaking the scripting.

You can do this, but you will suck. You will be like a Sonic/Pain or Sonic/Trick Arrow corr, but with flashier graphics and a small fraction of the performance.

Don't waste your time, or the time of anybody who'd wind up teaming with this build.

I suspect that most of the people who would be really bothered by Group Fly have already shut it off. Those who have not yet handled it for whatever reason can be reminded that the option exists and get it handled. That should be fine.

The Devices set used to use the taser model, though. It was changed to the "throw needles with wires" thing when its range was extended from five feet to twenty.

As for the brand name, I do not think that Malta would leave such a thing on their weapons, because that means a paper trail. You do not want a paper trail when you're a secretive conspiracy.

Reading between the lines when the devs are asked about staff fighting is that it's real, and they're working on it, but for some reason (I suspect marketing), they aren't allowed to talk about it.

They would probably appreciate it if we stopped asking them about it until they officially say they're working on it. Which is, I hope, soon.

Time/Beam defender, of course.

If I come up with a name and costume, a psi/dark blaster (sort of a mutant anglerfish thing).

I'd like to make a street/regen scrapper, but obviously that has to wait.

I would imagine that "it's a single-target set in a game that heavily values AOE" would be enough to cause people to shy away.

No. Brutes club things over the head with "Maces," the Mace Mastery pool (and Bane Spiders) use "Arachnos Maces."

So you can customize the stuff in Mace Mastery, but you can't shoot lasers from your bat.

This started recently. My friends who keep better track of tokusatsu than I do routinely bemoaned how completely awful Kamen Rider OOO was after the liquid awesome of Kamen Rider W, and the previews for Fourze looked quite good, so they watched it. I also watched it, and I quite enjoyed the first episode. I'm looking forward to the next.

Now, I think the mods would frown upon me linking to where you can get subs, but since fansubbed stuff got discussed elsewhere, I think I can say that you should fire up your search engine of choice and work overtime to find out who's subbing it. There's probably several groups, but the ones who put in overtime on making sure that their subs are actually good are probably the ones you want to spend time watching.

I have seen Empaths with Aid Other, Stimulant, and Resuscitate. So yes, apparently people do need to be told not to waste three power picks on powers that are sucky versions of things you already have.

You may want to add a special note for the Empaths that take the Medicine pool and just how mind blowingly stupid that is.

The exact numbers are 50,000 iXP per thread, and you need one million iXP for Judgement and Interface, 2.25 million for Lore and Destiny. You can see exactly how much you have in the Accolades section of your Badges. Look for the ones that say something about earning Physical or Psychic XP, or something like that. They'll be near the "Alpha Unlocked" badge.

As stated, you theoretically can just eat threads to unlock slots, but doing so is prohibitively expensive.

Note that choosing Resistance or Loyalist in the tutorial does not count towards Moral High Ground. If you stick with (for example) only Crusader arcs, then that's three morality choices right there, plus one for choosing Hero or Villain, and then you're out. If you want the badge, you must do at least one arc for a faction other than the one you're usually doing (eg all the Crusaders and a Warden, all the Responsibility and a Warden, stuff like that). The choice when you go to Primal Earth then counts as the fifth choice, and you get your badge.

I also think that changing the buffs to be AOE wasn't a change in FF's power, just in how annoying it is to actually use it. It's now a lot easier to hand out your bubbles, but once you've done it, FF is in exactly the same position it was in before.
