==Jack== Perhaps his super-intelligence could actually become a handicap, if heβs rapidly becoming non-human. Remember how Dr. Manhattan in The Watchmen became so isolated? He forgot how to be human. In game terms, you could make the character make intelligence roles to do mundane stuff β like hold a conversation with a normal human. He might even become so machine-centric as to have to make spot checks to even notice humans anymore. I'd say instead of HIM making checks to communicate with others that others would all have to make rolls to communicate with him... the DC based on 10+ his Intelligence level. That way the the people communicating with him can use THEIR OWN intelligence to help him understand them. But HOW would I describe this in game terms?? Would he "hear" them talking like babies or how else would I describe it to the player to confuse him as to what's happening until he works it out?? I love the thing to make spot checks to even notice other base-line humans (I'd say he COULD recognize other Godlike survivors). I love that!! computers don't lie, they deal with exactly what they were told. Jack shouldn't be able to deal with lies. when they happen, he should be utterly confused and almost need to reboot in a way. sitting and seeing how things are effected by the contridicting data. He is not a machine, but this inclantion into the machine world has it's effects. look at all the computer junkies you know personally. Most may know excatly whats going on in the news, but usually from a friend in the area who he knows from Yahoo! I think the Nieve weakness is very fitting for Jack Anytime he gets upset at a machine, it malfunctions, explodes, etc. or even better, he gets upset at a guy who cuts him off in traffic, all of a sudden the offensive drivers cars wheels fall off, or the engine catches on fire.
