Would adding the additional effects to the first level over power the whole thing? I'm open to the idea, just don't know about the balance. Ideas are always welcome.

Nah, they're a minority of the value of the advantage anyway.

One small rule I use that I didn't know wasn't RAW is damage is combined for knockback. If you have a high RoF crushing attack, knockback isn't determined until all damage is known. Similarly, Teamwork perk lets multiple people work together and stack all the knockback together to move huge foes.

The Hulk doesn't have obvious DR. He's big and looks like a monster but you can't tell if bullets will bounce off. The Thing looks like a rock. Not all rocks bounce bullets, but you sure wouldn't try punching that surface. I'd say the latter is worth a discount. Quote:

Taking a look at these, some things occurs to me though: 1) instead of a bonus to ST for actively resisting knockback, I think a bonus to HP for passively resisting knockback would make more sense 2) should there be a penalty for Shadowing someone in a crowd if the rest of the crowd is also Very Fat? Weirdly the normal person might actually 'stand out' in that situation, despite having a smaller profile. I think the Shadowing penalty just assumes it's a crowd of average people. 3) wouldn't high ST bodybuilders with low body fat also stand out in crowds of thin people? 4) why do thin people get a penalty to disguise? They have more space to apply facial prosthetics and can easily just thicken their limbs with padding to emulate average/fat people. Quote:

I think the problem is what you see in appearance is actually volume and not mass. HP plays the role of mass for slamming though, so that's where things begin to get complicated when we use it to represent appearances too. Wolverine being a stereotypical example of someone who's heavier/more-massive than a muscular human of his size ought to be, due to metal bones. You could have other high-density creatures or low-density creatures with less HP for slamming who still occupy the same volume as a human? Quote:

I would assume guys like him and Supes have flexible/tough skin DR. On the other hand, it's obviously possible to hurt your hands punching them too, as Spidey learned. I'm wondering if maybe they can switch between the two depending on how hard they tense their muscles. Quote:
Superman opts not to fully exploit his mundane looks a lot of the time by dressing in an identifiable costume so people fighting him know "oh, it's that guy with 1 million DR, perhaps normal guns won't work on him" but he could easily apply it in broader situations (use disguises, for example) so folks wouldn't know they're fighting a DR god. |

Do agree here, the first couple rounds of combat can easily be decisive.

However: I would say there's cultural justification here in different settings (and different population portions) to get a bonus or penalty to reactions if visibly fat or thin. It SHOULD be obvious when you're fatter, and fat is definitely adipose since it helps give a swimming bonus for floating. |
