Everyone, I would like for you all to check out my C.O.B.R.A. web site for In Nomine at: http://www.brianrich.net/cobra.html It's still a work in progress. I also recently ordered my own copy of the Ethereal Player's Guide and I'm very happy that the book is on its way to the distributors! I'm really looking forward to reading it and seeing what information I can use out of it.

Fly-by-wire is used in modern combat aircraft; instead of mechanical linkages between the control surfaces and pilot's controls there are electronic linkages. Basically a 3-step process: 1) The pilot operates the controls; 2) A computer receives the signal from the controls and... 3) Transmits that signal to the control surfaces. A similar system can be adapted to automobiles as drive-by-wire. I recall that someone was testing this, but IIRC it's far from ready for production. A car that did have such a system would offer all kinds of opportunities for Kyrios of Lightning and Shedim of Technology, though. A Celestial possessing the linking computer could control the car as if it were in the driver's seat. =====

Nah, Miranda is canon -- Superiors 4. I really liked it, by the way. I even think I managed to identify all four major characters. At first, mind you, I thought BNW was a Kyriotate of Jean's, acting somewhat Seraph-like. Anonymous methods of communication in Hell (like masked chatrooms) are probably a good deal more anonymous than in Heaven, where you have Mercurians and Seraphim all over the place. An angel who had some connections Down There might, in a very dangerous post-Redemption game, find it useful to continue lurking around a few of his old letter drops(for a while).

'cuz my girlfriend 'suggests' that using this in a campaign would eventually end in tears and pain and mobs with pitchforks. This is apparently a bad thing. :) Moe Giant Panda Attack! (Corporeal Discord) (With apologies to PVP) At random intervals, a panda will come and savagely attack the poor unfortunate saddled with this Discord (3d6 Hits of the appropriate type). This is not a real panda, actually - which means that the damage cannot be blocked (this explicitly includes any use of the Songs of Shields). No one without Symphonic Awareness will ever notice the sudden appearance of or mauling by the panda, either. The 'attack' can happen anywhere - except in Heaven, and even then the attack is simply delayed until the next time the angel goes to somewhere not under the Pax Dei. At the beginning of every session, the GM should roll versus a target number of 8, minus the level of the Discord: if the roll is failed, then a Giant Panda Attack will take place at the next convenient occasion. The attack will be heralded by some sort of panda imagery (panda dolls, pictures of pandas, someone mentioning pandas at the zoo): the character must roll versus Perception to notice. If the player then immediately shouts "NO! NOT A GIANT PANDA ATTACK!" and cringes (this must be roleplayed out!) then the damage rolled is cut in half, rounded down. Observant and/or cruel GMs will note the possible applications of this Discord in the field of operant conditioning, especially if his or her particular game world is suddenly full of panda imagery just waiting to be noticed with a Perception roll. That being said, the GM is solemnly urged to not attempt to get the player to cringe and shout "NO! NOT A GIANT PANDA ATTACK!" in real life, too. Well, unless you really want to. Reaction Modifiers: -1/level. Running around with your head in your arms and shouting about giant invisible attacking pandas is kind of strange. ===== Liber Licentiae Moeticae: http://www.stormloader.com/users/moelane/innomine.html Last updated 01/21/03 (this is usually way out of date) __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
