Heroic Feats

Post by **Korwinblue** » Sun Jan 20, 2008 4:55 pm

I'm haveing difficulties thinking up of heroic feats. I know there are examples in the 2005 core book, and I don't think there are in the 2001 rules. Could anyone help me out?

examples for heroic feats? go watch some action movies and tom and jerry cartoons. i just saw Air Force One on TV this morning (you know, where harrison ford plays the president of the united states of america and his plane gets hijacked. needless to say, he personally goes and kicks their asses one by one), and am definitely inspired for a minifig to throw someone "off of my plane". and there IS a harrison ford minifig... CORRECTION: two of them.

have your hero do the limbo on a motorcycle under a plane wing (i tried this and failed)

Pick up and throw a car.
Pull off "the Matrix".
Run up a wall firing a full-auto gun in each hand.
Use explosives to fling yourself across the map. And survive.
Win an argument on the internet.
Hack and rewire a sword.
Ride a hobo into battle.
Kill an enemy with a potatoe.
Rip out an enemy skull and beat them to death with it.*
etc.

*Guess that quote!

Weeeelllll... my friend's favorites are known as "comrade tosses". In other words, when I try and run away, he picks up one of his soldiers and tosses at mine

I once attempted to save my hero by throwing a sword at him, I failed...

also many attempts to leap into far away places have had some unexpected results. (like jumping into a yet engine, landing into a gun barrel etc.)

The matrix is also full of suggestions, again i met this with failure so instead of dodging bullets he caught them all with his forehead..

My list:

-Backflipping out of a bulletproof glass window just as the building your hero was standing in explodes
-Jumping out of a plane without a parachute, and surviving.
-Ripping off their own arm just to beat an opponent with it, then sewing it back on
-harpooning the intestines out of an opponent at 400 yards.
-setting up an internet router
-beat through the fire and flames in guitar hero III
-photographing bigfoot
-hacking into a casino computer mainframe with only a handkerchief and ballpoint pen
-riding a motorcycle atop the roofs of cars

Watch this clip for more car-related stuff.

-Killing a fly that was bugging you, by throwing a building at him
-make rambo a pacifist
-make gandi homocidal
-destroy afrika by farting in its general direction(i told him he shouldn't have -eaten that chili)
-eat enough food to make earth orbit around YOU instead of the sun
-force someone else to eat this much (come on, I'd be sick better have someone else do it) maybe anorexics could be pursuaded
-create a country that is simultaniously dictatorial democratic politician and anarchist etc.

thanks for the suggestions. You know what, I realized that I've never watched the Matrix before

I think I'll pick up a copy.

the matrix alone has enough feats for 10 games easily.
