Oops! I accidenly pressed enter again!!! argh whats wrong with my
broswer?????. Here is the complete message >_<
TL5 TSA-Trooper (19 CP)
Move: 13"
Armor: 12 AV
Skill: 1d6+4
Enchancements:
4x Moves Fast (4 CP)
3x Thick Hide (3 CP)
2x Unusal Skill (2 CP)
1x Close combat Pen. (-1 CP)
Weapons/Armor:
1x Automatic Impact Rifle with Hi-Pro Ammo and Stab Gyro (10 CP)
1x VisoredHelmet (1 CP)
This may seem like a lot for a trooper, but it is VERY Strong!
The weapon does 3d6+2 Damage, doing 3 shots, and having only 6 UR.
Thats an average of 11 damage per shot, doing 33 cum. damage!, enough to knock
out Infactry and cause
considerable damage to mpost vechilces. For coodinated attacks, you may want
to have 1 trooper in the squad with a
pistol instead of a rifle and add a cb radio. I usally deploly these in groups
of 5 and they kill serious butt.

"BirkWars"? It sounds like some kind of hippie fight.

This guy is tough enough that he would probably get some kind of troop ratio
requirement. You'd have to ask whoever is moderating the Brickfest game.
Except I don't think anybody is moderating the game! That's a recipe for
disaster, I had figured that that details like that would have been worked out
by now.
> Move: 13"

When armor gets up this high you ought to start converting some of it to dice
so your soldier isn't bizarrely immune to rifle fire. 12 AV would be equal to
2d10+1 or 3d6+1.
> Skill: 1d6+4
This similarly should be converted to 2d6.

Like I said, this guy is awfully tough, it would be strange to have an army
composed entirely of such supermen unless you're playing the Kryptonian
Civilization.

Heh- I planned on having them 'genetically engineered'. But i created them
mostly on the fact that they're going to be a defenite CP budget, like
somewhere around 200-600

Man, you ruin all the fun :). BTW, I was wondering if theyre was a way to add
poision to seige weapons, like having a ChemikalWarhead, that dissapates the
same way that explosions do (like having full poison damage at the target, -
1d6 1" away, etc). But it wouldnt do any physical damage.
2nd Question - Can you have a large 'firebomb' o be drooped from a flyer? Its
basically like the trooper firebomb, but does 3d10 exp danage and 5d6 fire 'do
to plamsa.)
Thanks a lot,

Man, does anybody remember back in say, January, when fun/gaming never got
more than one or two posts every two weeks? Lately I can't even keep up.

Yeah, you can make basically anything you want, as long as everybody's still
having fun. If your opponents start getting angry or throwing temper tantrums
or something then you'll know you've gone too far.
There are a number of different ways to make a chemical warhead, let me see
where they are in the rulebook... huh, they must have gotten lost in the y2k
conversion. I could have sworn I put them in there.
What the rules used to say was, the payload of any explosive can be changed to
any other type of damage, covering the same area. Concussion grenades would
do Stun damage and knockback without physical damage. Incendiaries would roll
d10's but do no damage except any d10 coming up 6 or more would increase a
target's Fire rating. If you wanted to convert explosion damage to Poison
damage, based on the table at the bottom of chapter 2 I would say 1d10
Explosion damage is equivalent to 6 Poison points.

That might take awhile, I did my best to leave every conceivable loophole
open. I wouldn't want to restrict anybody.

That's nothing. I remember when I asked about anyone who might be interested
in BrikWars, and no one answered.

Occasionally it's fun to try and build the most invincible characters possible,
but my experiences have been that in doing so you lose a deal of the flavor of the
game. I personally like to be able to pick up each Brikwarrior in my army and be
able to envision his personality and how he likes to perform in battle - the
indiviuality comes from the weapon they choose, the tactics they exhibit, and the
face of the minifig. Sure, a sawed-off shotgun isn't going to do as much damage,
but it sure does convey bad attitude and more than a super death cannon. Most of
my army is little units that move quickly but are relatively lightly armed - it's
great to see how much damage they can do and how long they can be kept alive
before they are engulfed in flames.
Believe me, the unarmored trooper with a pistol who stands in front of the racing
jeep and fires off round after round, being ignored as a minimal threat until a
lucky shot happens to hit the engine block, is *way* cooler than Rambo killing
everything with no risk to himself whatsoever. From Star Wars to Indiana Jones to
Spartacus, the characters we really root for are the ones who rise out of
obscurity. We celebrate the underdogs, and the vistory of an ultimate warrior is
downplayed - if the underdog wins, it was amazing and spectacular - if the
superwarrior wins, yeah, it figures.
One way I try to avoid this is to make it more realistic (?!?!) - people can't
really be great in everything. Make a trooper fast, or strong, or skilled ... the
fast ones will probably want to be lightly armed and spend all of their time
moving quickly, but avoiding confrontations with powerful foes. The strong ones
may carry a huge weapon, but have to protect their flanks since they can't react
as quickly. The skillful ones may prefer to forego conventional weapons in favor
of whips, devices, or tricky manuevers. Trying to capitalize an trooper strengths
while protecting them from their weaknesses is rgeat fun - a trooper without any
weaknesses loses all of this!
Plus, everybody likes to gang up on characters that are too powerful.
Granted, if you're paying for these troopers, then that is legitamate. I'd just
be cautious of losing alot of the fun in the essence and characterization of the
combatants by making everybody a nigh-unto-deity. Just my $0.02.
