Low Herald Tournament Odds

Also, Leo's supposed "depowers everything no matter what" gun.... Is that an indefencible power? PG's has limits, Leo claims his doesn't.

There is no power cap for Amalgams it was removed.

The depower thing is legal.

What happened with Smurph in regards to PG vs Scoobs, is that I dropped the ball. Smurph asked me a few questions, and I was not clear enough. Here is the conversation.
“I realize that your 'tech creation' rules limit creations to Low Herald... does that extend to his suit, power drainer, and other creations? I have not looked at PG tech. The tech creations, does extends to his suit and power drainer etc..
If so, have you ruled on that already, or is that up to my interpretation?I did not step in to rule on it. That's up to your interpretation.”

Where I dropped the ball was failing to mention that the drainer was cleared by me. My focus was on other creations, like a mecha suit that could put him at low herald or higher given that tech creations are capped at low herald.

The drainer itself isn’t so much powerful, as it is hax. But its defendable, which is why I allow it in this tournament setting.

Sorry for the confusion.

So all types of amping are ok now.

Hmm.... This next round is going to get ridiculous, good luck to everyone (especially the judges)

no, i don't think that's what he means. the amping rule stays as is i believe. just that the combined powers can be higher than you and i were thinking initially. which....makes no difference, really. without the traditional style of amping (superman+lightray style) there is still only so high a low herald amalgam can get...

at least, i THINK that's what he is saying...? 😕 is my interpretation accurate id or are we suddenly changing the amping rules...?

oh, also, any movement on that abhi/mm match....? and when will we know who faces whom...?

lastly, would it be possible to change from 5 days of draft to maybe...2-3 days? 5 days is REALLY long, and by this time everyone (cept scoob, i'm sure....) should have come up with tons of possibilities already. this time, between matches, should be being used for that imo. redraft should be quite fast given the time off we've all already had...

Rules

Power Level & Format: 2-character amalgam. Low Herald each.

Post Limit: 5

CIS & PIS is OFF!: We are drafting 2 characters, and its abilities. You the participant take ownership of how said characters & abilities will be realized in combat.

Character Knowledge: Contestants are fully aware the characters drafted, including its history, and weaknesses.
Also the Amalgam can use powers as good as the originals.

Amping Rules: Disallowed. Materials that aid a power (i.e. Jeffries/adamantium) are allowed. Power amping is not (i.e. The Ray + Kara)

Note: Amping is a state of empowerment fueled by some source source, that increases a characters physical prowess or ability.

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

No you can not summon an entire realm or dimension.

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.

Prep: You are given time to raise shields. Otherwise NO prep time.

Creating gear can only take place in the heat of battle, after the bell has rung.

TP: Low Herald

Speed: Up to lightspeed.

Banned Powers: Reality Warp, Time Manip., Duplication, Power Copying, Autonomous Constructs (tech or magic), Memory Retention

Note: Space Manipulation, Matter Manipulation, and the Speed Force is allowed provided that the drafted characters are low herald and below.

Functional Immortals are Banned: Functional immortals such as Lobo, Mr. Immortal, Deadpool are disallowed or voided.

Standard Gear Rule Character comes in with what he is historically known for caring.

Non standard gear must be created you NOT grab it from your lab, and equip yourself with it.

BFR BFR is banned.

Self BFR is only good for phasing.

Good for 1 second.

True.

🙁

But what if your plans for drafting are disallowed or taken before you get them.

A little wiggle room is ok by me.

Per the rules
Amping is not allowed.

Unlike the previous tournament. There is no cap to what your fused character can come in. This is due the the nature of combining 2 Low Heralds can lead to something stronger than a High Herald.

Does that make sense Scoob?

that's why you need more than one option. 😄

5 days may be long. But my personal time is limited.

I am hosting, and standing in as a judge after all.

Khris is MIA. Smurph will be the replacement judge. He will have his vote in soon. So everything is in motion.

I fear you are too fragile to survive another loss.

Why destroy yourself?

You're projecting yet again, case in point: http://www.killermovies.com/forums/f77/t615816.html

Sean Price just passed and you pull this sucker shit....

Plus I purposefully used the characters I did as a last hurrah for the power drainer strategy cause other stuff was banned. Weakest characters in the tournament and it's still a debatable decision. You got shit on by MY APPRENTICE. Hold that to your chest

weakest characters? "my apprentice"...? 😕

Historically, an awful decision. Could be enjoyable, but probably won't be.

I pass the UGC tribute in Belmont routinely, you're out of your depth poser.

I had 2 combatants to deal with it and it took a conspiracy to hold me back.

You're not on my level!

DO IT!!

Y'all are just lucky my initial pick of Deadman was disallowed...
