Here I thought **** were literally falling from the sky. I am disappointed. -
I certainly feel threatened by Twilight fangirls.

Well, at least the newly weds will know what they are in for.

Cheap rum with Dr.Pepper, a patty melt and fires. I was tempted to post a whip-cracking gif, then I realized that pleasing the missus often leads to....special rewards.

How has that been? I'm feeling the need to play something old-school right now.

I have no problem with exotic counters that can be used to deadly effect against powerful opponents, assuming that there is some way to counteract it. IMO, having an unstoppable weapon that there is no counter to makes bad design. Personally, I like the idea of exploring what happens when someone accumulates quite a bit of power where they rival demigods. I think that surpassing humanity is an interesting theme that could be explored better than "here are some level 20 foot soldiers, have fun hacking them to bits" in RPGs.

Agreed. Well... to be clear, there's nothing wrong with the word epic, I don't think. If it's applied to something of a grand scale. Frodo's travels from his little hobbit hole all the way to Mt. Doom? An epic journey. His (well... Bilbo's) mithril chain mail? Not epic. Cool and protective, but not epic. It doesn't level mountains, or produce something equivalent to all the events of Frodo's journey that whole way.So, epicness, in a narrative? Fine. Epicness of an object? Meh. That's been a pretty crap application ever since it was first applied in an official manner (I blame MMOs, even though I don't know that they were the first).Epicness is what you DO, what you ACHIEVE with what you have. It's not the stuff you have that inherently achieves great things. Like JFSOCC said, taking down (as an actual mortal with limited resources) 15 combatants that COULD all potentially kill you is far more epic than waving a Sword of God-Killing to deal enough damage to slay a god.I think what is Epic is determined by the setting. In FONV, a lone wanderer managing to fend off several Deathclaws is an incredibly epic feat. In NWN2, ending a curse created by a foul god is an epic feat. I don't believe the power levels of the characters involved should be compared, as they are from radically different settings. From what information is available, PE's power curve will be similar to 3.5e/PF, so applying real world logic in what an individual can accomplish may not pan out, seeing as individuals in PE can use the power of their souls to perform supernatural feats and will likely be superhuman in real world terms.

IIRC, it depends on the tech and process used for cloning. High Evolutionary had been able to do it well, while Jackal(arguably one of the more prolific makers of clones) would usually produce subjects that were unstable, like Kaine.
