Okay, while I know that the Charles McNider in reference is Doctor Mid-Nite that's not where my brain jumped to start with. See, I grew up taking weekly(at least) walks across the river to go to the Charles H. MacNider art museum, look at the stuff, and play around in the puppet room. So my first thought wasn't a superhero, but... "Wait, The DOMA Academy is going to be in Mason City, Iowa? Are they going to have 76 Trombones hanging in the Music Room?"
Fair enough, does it go Bare Success > Minor Success then?
Ahh that makes sense, in that case then
OK that makes sense.
Yeah, fair.
(spoiler-compliant reaction)
Yeah, I'm agreeing with you. What I'm saying is, this is our shitty but functional prototype, which we call the Tesla or whatever because Lex Luthor gets to flex on Elon Musk.
Charles McNider was also the first head of the DEO in quest (the DOMA's predecessor).
It should go that way. Like how significant successes are always better than decent successes. Granted these are used as measuring sticks of degree of success so a bare success on an action like [ ] conquer the world would be better (if you want to take over the world) than a decent success at [ ] conquer Luxembourg.
I know but Caitlin clearly has her own issues, such as her desperate need for validation from authority figures
Yeah, I've got you now
but me and @jonasquinn raised Marie's diplomacy to 16 a while back, so it should be 21 (again might have no effect unless it pushed it to the next tier).
I'll double check it and fix things if necessary. Suffice to say it will have a tiny difference but not enough for me to change what I've written.
Overall, I prefer Claude. Let's see if we can get Rebecca to heal him and restore mobility. If so, easy Co-Op improvement.
And if she's not, we might want to avoid developing a reputation among dangerous assassins for taking their kids. Once is an anomaly, but twice could start to look like a pattern.
Eh Sportsmaster tends not to care when his children run away, seeming to see it as a coming of age thing
What are you talking about? We are providing their children with gainful employment! Apprentice Ms Jade Crock to Roxy as a Stuntwoman-trainee/actress.
Put Karl and Moon on it next turn. Free test subjects.
Eh, we already have some test subjects and I'd rather not have Karl and Moon work together for prolonged periods of time
She's currently 16 and a half. Yes your wards are back online and the anti-bad intent ones would likely prevent a traditional trap. It wouldn't prevent something crazy like Sportsmaster sticking a bomb inside of Jade and then detonating it to kill someone (which is admittedly a little far-fetched) so a trap is still possible, it's just a question of how much Sportsmaster is willing to do to achieve his aims (which the quest-goers probably have a better grasp on than Lex).
Liselle Sloane is a character who doesn't appear in comics but has appeared in quest in the Metropolitan Clan omakes. Specifically she is an ancestor of Lex's who married into a family that eventually gave birth to Terry Sloane AKA Mister Terrific. She also did something with medicine that was scientifically significant (I believe something to do with immunization) but it's currently slipping my mind.
I didn't consider having an option to name a music building (it was going to be the science building and maybe a push for the whole school) but I like the option to name the music building after Lex's mother so much I'm including it in the subvote. Thank you for posting this. I don't give exp for subvote write-ins so I'm not going to award exp for it but I am including it as an option sicne its really good and makes sense and is in character.
So basically if Jade does not realize it is a trap it goes through, if she does know then it does not. Of course that also is reliant on Sportsmaster understanding what sort of defenses we have in place as not knowing we have wards up means he is trying to bypass tech defenses that operate and are defeated in an entirely different manner.
I think the best spot would be adding the link to the post with Lex and the other heroes, it is intended as a player resource for a quick glance to see who can do what.
We've already done it twice. No, three times. Cassandra is the daughter of two dangerous assassins, and then there's Rose, who we admittedly didn't steal, but still.
Plus, even the average high-end individual like Sportsmaster probably still doesn't know how our wards do what they do, unless he knows about magic and maybe not even then.
Sorry, that was indirectly cruel of me. I made her up. Liselle Sloane (nee Luthor) was Leland Luthor's little sister, the WWII Mister Terrific's paternal grandmother, and Lex's great-great-great-great-aunt. She used her superpowers of getting bored easily and being very very good at nagging to battle the deadliest menaces of her time.
You mean the one @Void Stalker 'owns?'
Yup. I thought it was a helpful tool and so I decided to include it. It won't be a substitute for reading the character sheet (because of traits if nothing else) but I figured it would help more people have the information needed to come up with and discuss plans
