Re: Pyramid #3/53: Action
Overall this was a pretty fantastic article. But I loved PK's Fortunately, I Saw This Coming. Brilliant. Brilliant. Brilliant. Simple and easy to use. loved it.
Did I mention I really liked that article? ;-)

Re: Pyramid #3/53: Action
Hmmm... on close inspection, I have a small complaint: the Action Demigod lens for the Ultimate Action Hero seems almost guaranteed to produce an un-optimized build. Basically, for your second advantage option, you only have two choices since Buddy Bond is useless to a loner: Jack of All Trades 3 [30] OR Jack of All Trades 1 [10] and Wild Talent 1 [20]. I like the first option a lot more, and once you've done that you can eliminate all those skills you only have 1 point in, start lowering your other skills by 1 level until you've saved 50 points, and then buy DX +1 [20]; IQ +1 [20]; HT +1 [10]. You get higher defaults, higher levels of the few skills you didn't lower/eliminate, better Will, Per, and HT rolls, all at virtually no cost.
Another option: instead of adding three more skill packages, have the lens eliminate those ten points in secondary skills, and then add DX +1 [20] and IQ +1 [20] to the lens. |

Re: Pyramid #3/53: Action
I'm happy with my Pyramid subscription when I can find something in an article that is useful, not necessarily as intended.
An issue that has 4 articles I can use and 4 that can be twisted to my evil purposes? And there's more? I need a sixth star for my Rating. I particularly like: Buddies&Loners, I've Got a Great Idea and Fortunately, I Saw This Coming. Thank you.

Re: Pyramid #3/53: Action
Thanks for your answer.
In any case my wondering was just about "horse rider chases" :) If in this Pyramid issue they are covered in some particular way, I imagine they also will work for Fantasy —for instance, the Peter Jackson's LOTR Arwen vs. Ringwraiths riders scene of the linked video.
