The same way you pull off any plot-twist: drop enough hints, however subtle, to set it up beforehand--preferably so that a certain narrative starts forming in your audience's minds which you can then subvert--and then pull the shocking swerve at a moment of high dramatic tension.

Foreshadow Subtly

Make the players attached to the character.

Make the event happen quickly focus heavily on the aftermath, do not describe the event itself in detail but be sure to describe the aftermath in plenty of detail.

Woops, posted with a fucked up last line.

I'm not playing with the Champions system: I just needed an image and start arguments is what I wanted to say.

The main one I can think of is pitting her against enemies with the power to change or alter their bodies in uniquely unusual ways, and then allowing those enemies to die while she is similarly altered. Without their power to mimic, she's effectively stuck like that, at least for a while.

>>47822255
Are there any limits on what types of powers can be mimicked? Like, she thinks someone can fly but it's really magnetoboots or something.

I have a session that gets me through the week. My entry into the group was probably the luckiest thing to happen to me last year.

>>47821570
Nope. The only point in life I've been going on with a sole reason was back in early teens.

>>47821190
>How would you run a system based on the Mass Effect universe?
Depends on the system.

>>47821190
I have before.
I used Traveller but each character had a fourth layer of Health representing Kinetic Barriers their suits or Biotics generated.

Biotics I mostly based on Psionics since they're really just a slightly-more-plausible stand-in for space magic anyway.

>>47821190
there's a pretty well fleshed out fanmade Fate hack for it. It's too big for me to post the pdf here, but i'm pretty sure there's only one mass effect Fate system. It's given a lot of satisfying crunch to an otherwise kind of light system, while maintaining Fate's emphasis on narrative. I ran it for about a year and never once regretted it. Only trouble is that the pre-made enemies aren't quite properly balanced. It's generally better just to stat up your own after a while so your encounters aren't just piss-easy all the time.

=Gun Show Patch=
Civilian and millitary tech augments may as of this cycle may access the new hardware patch for the Integration subsystem. Last year active nanomachines were able to possess the uncanny ability to self heal damaged organs and tissue using Balkalyte made materials most notable used in millitary and infastructure. Now the integration system allows for a self defense patch that allows one to integrate a weapons system in each augmented arm. [2 total]

Integrate Rules: You may break down and integrate a weapon in one of two ways.
- Base Integration. Materials are broken down and used to repair damaged tissue and parts. This is a temporary measure that allows the user to maintain combat readiness before resorting to evac and recovery.

- Weapons Integration. A Gun may fuse with as many arm slots needed to wield it, range ammo, stats and kit skills will be integrated with it. The Arm in question will be converted to a Free Hand and as long as it is a free hand it can effectively be used as the weapon it has integrated as well. When the Integrated arm is equipped with another weapon, that weapon may benefit from the kit skills of the integrated weapon if they so choose.

Reloading- Reloading rules remain the same for an integrated weapon; with the opposing hand being free and ammo available to load it with.

Aikimbo weapon usage. When two weapons are wielded at the same time they may fire simultaneously at different targets but the user suffers halved acc bonuses + the weapon's base hit rating.

Weapons with Kit Skills.
Weapons have kit skills and maybe unlocked this discovery can be expanded upon later in your lesson plans.

That is all, Next we will introduce you to our hopeful comrade in arms and rivals both !

Hiya Command, announcements are nice! Are you going to tell us about our shiny allies? I've been looking forward to meeting them!

Uh, I guess I'm the first Lupe Officer present so here's my paperwork as usual. Oi! Rabbits, what gear and guns are you bringing? Fill out th paperwork nice! And use a pencil! Remember to bring the nice, less painful bullets! Also I believe those nice knights in shining armor wanted to give us a hand? Sound off if you're out there and prepared to fight for a good cause!

Oh, and if any friendly Demo-student wants to loan me two of their bomber-ammo bombs I've got a deviously terrifying plot for that.

Are we fighting somewhere special today? Is it the weather nice? How's Vildebrand doing I mean fightnig dragon rarr. Yes.

Sharpen small tree's into javelins, bigger ones into clubs.

weave the branches into armor, along with animal hides.

Here is a tree with some billhooks and shit wedged in one end.

Here is some armour made out of think planks.

If we can find a big enough plank of wood with some spring in it and enough rope and some fence posts you can have a crude bow and some arrows.

>>47940012
Oh fuck it just give him the biggest long bow we got and some one to keep handing him arrows, we now have a rapid fire long bow.
