"invincibility"

Unread post by Nuristas »

I am sure I read about a power of such type in a rifter but I can't seem to find it any more...
Does anybody have a hint?

I know it was in a character description and that is the only place it showed...

Thanks if anybody wants to take the time.

Invulnerability is a major power found in the Heroes Unlimited corebook. That ability renders the toon neigh invincible, invulnerable to most damage.

Invincibility doesn't ring a bell.

Powers Unlimited 3 has the Major Power Indestructible, which lets the character make something else indestructible by touch. There are bunch of Immunity powers across the setting's books, as well. Sorry I can't be of more help.

This was the first thing that popped into my head when I saw the post.

I think there are a few characters in Century Station and/or Gramarcy Island that have been given some sort of magical invincibility but not sure if any of these are what you are looking for.

Possibly.

I am 99,9% sure it's a major power with one character or another.
But for the love of me, I can't find in which book and I have been through them all.

Probably a case of reading over it due to doing it too quickly.

I'm way out of date on my Rifters, but I can't think of what you are thinking about either. To add what was mentioned earlier, maybe Monstrous Form or Massive Damage Capacity from PU3?

There is an “Impervious” power in Heroes of the Megaverse. It offers an AR of 18, a lot of SDC and Hit Points and a ton of other resistances.

"Invincibility" or "Indestructibility"?

if it's the later, it's in Rifter #12 pg 62.

Which means it's not canon and will need GM approval, unless of course you are GM, but it pretty much looks the same as "Invulnerability + teh Cooler" with the very brief description of the character only being affected by certain magic and psionic powers and then only lists two spell/power possibilities. It's basically someone's version of Invulnerability + a bunch of free extra immunities for the munchkin who can't be bothered to stop for the two minutes it might take them to recover after they stomp someone who CAN affect them.

Its not a munchkin stuff, it's what invulnerabilty should be. Some GM's can't handle PC's having any power, so the very vulnerable "invulnerabilty" is for them. Don't knock stuff just cuz you don't like it.
