MID-HERALD TOURNAMENT DISCUSSION

Does DS have access to all Probe feats?

They vary pretty wildly, and, as far as I know, there's nothing to indicate that all probes are equally powerful.

VULCAN IS DISQUALIFIED!!!

I told you that ALL of my characters are OFF LIMITS!!!

Out of red font again?

Poor lobbie boy.

If they are not created equal. How do you distinguish one Probe from another?

I think it's a little problematic to draft a template instead of a character.

Well, if I draft the most powerful showing, then they get their low showings too, obv 👆

So if the probe I draft can lift 100 tons, surely showings of other probes lifting 10 tons are valid.

Unless there's proof of specialised probe units (so some are stronger, but slower, or specialise in energy projection etc).

sheesh, you kids and your crazy/weird picks. 😐

It's not up to us to prove that the Probes are not all the same. You would have to prove that the feats can transfer.

I guess this can come up mid battle though, if it matters at all, and it may not. It's a strange fit for tourney rules though. srug

I don't even know who to pick anymore. The rules are all over the place.

They were fine in round one, though, right?

Limits seem to have their own version of inertia when pushed it seems.

The rules haven't changed......you have eradicator and doom...

Darksaint, not really:

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

Technically, the rules as they were written by ID weren't altered by me when I increased the power of the character picks so changing that would require everyone else to agree to let a character slide with the stipulation that their matter/energy/space manipulation would be relegated to lower feats. It's that or the rule is honoured and the character is banned outright

Speed force isn't an exception as the sentence is read or understood IMO

Ah. So no eradicator?

I'm wasted.

In that case, we banned Fate and Wundarr too. We switched you out to Aquaman and Ares. You good?

You sound familiar.

Well, you read familiar.

I reckon rules are as before. In the time before time.

GLs are all differentiated in the tier thread. Guy, Hal, Kyle etc.

Telepaths are all named. Charles, Nova, Jean.

Speedsters are also all named and differentiated. Flashes are all differentiated.

Probes are not.
