no rush, i'm just giddy with anticipation. the best space combat system i have seen was in the first edition d20 star wars game from wizards. i'm sure it was probably taken from something else (maybe the original star wars game), but it was all about relative position between vessels, and using skill checks to alter your position compared to a ship, or to stay even with them when they try to alter theirs.

unfortunately, they revised it out in the second edition and went with something that was more 3rd edition intuitive, but also less ingenuitive, and i'd say, overcomplicated. i have no idea what's in the saga edition rules, but i would encourage checking these 'original' ones out if you ever gm vehicle combat in space.

Actually Babylon 5 had a run under a different game system called "Babylon Project" by Chameleon Eclectic Entertainment, Inc. I wish i could find it too. Cause honestly, i don't like using d20 all that much, i like diversity. Well M&M is one of the few exceptions i'd make to that. Though i have to admit i have found some rather awesome source websites for this New Babylon 5 rpg 2nd edition.

Nice G'Kar!

The latter-day prophet of the Narn G'Kar might deserve higher Wisdom and Charisma, although on the other hand, it might just be that he was in the right place at the right time.

G'Kar is portrayed as being a skilled writer ... I wonder which skill that falls under?

Okay here's a basic Eternal Template, this template has been brought down to its minimal effects.

Eternal Template
Eternal Physiology 11 [Container; PF: Innate] = 56pp
- Immunity 8 [Aging, Suffocation, Disease, Poison, Cold, Heat, Starvation & Thirst, Radiation]
- Super Strength 4
- Enhanced Strength +10
- Enhanced Constitution +10
- Impervious Toughness Save 5
- Regeneration 15 [Bruised 3, Injured 3, Staggered 3, Disabled 3, Resurrection 3 (every hour); Power Feats: Persistent, Regrowth]
Cosmic Manipulation 15 [Array; Dynamic] =41
- Base: Blast 10 [Cosmic Energy; Extra: Penetrating ]
- DAP: Mind Blast 7
- DAP: Flight 10 [Extras: Affects Others (+1)]
- DAP: Mind Reading 15 [Extra: Sensory Link]
- DAP: Illusions 7 [All Senses]
- DAP: Transmutation 6 [Extra: Continuous, Flaws: Tiring]
Complications: Compulsion [Must attack/neutralize any threat against a Celestial], Cannot attack any Celestial
Total Cost: 97pp

Suggestion: Drop the Affects Others extra from flight and add in a DAP for Telekinesis. Eternals have been regularly shown 'levitating' objects. That gives them the ability to carry people with them and float a beer down from the fridge.

Even with the nit-pick this is an AWESOME Eternals template. Beats the Ultima template in Freedom City hands down.

[JoshuaDunlow]

That's probably a good idea.

[Secret Turchin Man]

That IS a good Idea.
