Low Herald Tournament Odds

Spatial Displacement – BFR
So again. This is a low herald fusion tournament. The playing field is big, since we are drafting big boys.

BFR, should not be such a big problem at this level which is why I allowed it. When you fuse to Low Heralds, the end result is greater than the individual components.

So no, I am not going to limit what you can, and cant do when you have accesses to space manipulation.
But I am a Fair, and Just host.
4 Votes against BFR warrants a ban.
4 Votes in favor of 20 self BFR warrants a rule modification. (we can work out the details of the 20 second rule)
Sounds good?

Duplicates and Constructs
Tech Creation & Non-Autonomous Constructs/Summons: Low Herald limit

So the summons, and constructs must be low herald or low.
Exact copies of yourself as the end result are not allowed. When you fuse your 2 low heralds, you stop being Low Herald.

I did not want to put a limit on the number of constructs. Again this is a Big Boy game, with a big boy playing field. I purposely tied up some rules, but opened up others so they can be exploited.

If you want to create an endless army of drones, go for it. The Engineer alone can create like dozens of copies of herself.
If you want to mind rape through Telepathy or Technopathy. Go for it.
If you want to create an army of lightspeed zombies. Go for it.
If you want to dump portions of the sun on your enemy. Go for it.
I encourage you to be as witty, cheap, or powerful as you can be. Because in the end, members are still going to look to be cheap ways to win, regardless of the rules.

I leave it up to you guys if you want to put a limit on the constructs/summons.
4 votes warrant a rule modification.

k, so, 20 sec self bfr, and no perma bfr for a win, correct? and...did we limit the construct thing...?

that also doesn't mean someone can leave the battlefield and port to the lab in 20 sec to grab gear, correct...? 20 seconds seems a long time for self bfr, which would only really ever come up for defense, maybe...

**** me, you're Australian too.

Well, it's going to be weird competing with someone in the same timezone for once.

Only a couple hours from you guys here in overly-humid south China.

Sure am, Gold Coaster

May he who dies, die well.

Ha, go figure. I'm down in Sydney, though I've been to the Gold coast. Got food poisoning, then went to Dreamworld. Poor combination.

@Scoobs. I didn't know that. How is it in China anyway? Worth a visit?

It's alright. I'd avoid it during the height of summer if you aren't used to high temperatures. My first summer was a sweaty, uncomfortable mess.

It's 2:00 PM over here in Texas.

And also, shouldn't we list all banned characters (excluding the ones that were in the vote to ban thread) so that everyone's on the same page?

there were MORE banned characters outside the ones in the vote thread....? 😕 who else could you possibly want banned?

BFR is banned.

Self BFR will be limited.

How should we limit self BFR?

Here is how one such as I, attempting to exploit it, would do it.

Someone tries to attack me, I will escape into a neutral zone.

Or, as a Kryptonian, I leave to sundip myself - as an example.

Now, the first is obv cheaty. You can easily limit that - I am only allowed to port for 1 minute.

The second? Superman/boy/girl/Krypto can get to the Sun and back well within 1 minute or whatever.

which is why i brought up the porting back to the hq example... imo, it should be a 2 sec self bfr time limit--enough time to teleport/phase/magic away, whatever, and you can't get away from the battlefield. that would pretty much stop anyone from being able to take significant advantage. at the least, the no leaving the battlefield should be enforced--ie no porting to a different dimension to heal or sundip or anything like that. least imo.

Also

You are in control of the character, but you are also confined to what that character has accomplished historically.

You can't borrow feats from someone else, even if your similar characters.

Example:
X-Man can not Borrow Feats Cable.
G.L. Hal can not Borrow Feats from G.L. John.

Ok how does this sound?

Self BFR is only good for phasing.

Good for 1 second.

So you can only phase for a second??

Light speed means you get to the sun in 8mins.

That's the speed cap.

So a minute seems fine. After all, if a boxer is out of a fight for 1 min, he's pretty dead.

i don't think that's what he was intending. if someone took kitty, clearly she would be phased the whole time. but kitty type phasing isn't self bfr, so.... /shrug
