I'm getting the vibe that you might not have viewed Star Wars: Rebels. Is that accurate? A lot of people haven't viewed Star Wars: Rebels for one reason or another, but it (ironically since in canon it takes place about a decade after Obi-Wan Kenobi) lays the groundwork for all stories of the Inquisitors. I'll respond to a couple of your comments, but strong spoiler warnings if anyone hasn't seen Star Wars: Rebels yet:

Fascinating. Unfortunately I was saddled in high school with two years of biology and one year of physics with no chemistry classes. Sooo...I've learned something new today! Yay!

Despite a lengthy appearance in Star Wars: Rebels there's still a lot of mystery surrounding the inquisitors. Hopefully, this series will reveal some of the secrets. Inquistors' list so far (spoilers):

Can't stress enough what @Glacier Peak said. CoH: Homecoming is a living game, meaning it's not static. Don't worry, it's still your beloved game, but there's new content, new costume elements, new powers, and several rough spots have been smoothed out. I'd especially recommend reading up on the travel changes and improvements, which can help very early on.

Oh yeah. Until about the mid-1970s my late father used to sell mood rings next to the registers in the bookstore/school supply/gift shop he previously managed. The college and high school crowds really thought they were groovy. It sold very well for a time. He also sold the pet rocks, though they didn't sell as well, despite everyone talking about them. I was about 8 at the time, and despite having a kid's imagination, I found it bizarre people would pay money for a rock. I didn't get the joke. 🙄 I was more interested in my Lemon Twist. 😁

It works, and it stays in harmony with the famous "When last we met..." quote from Episode IV. Whatever happens, that must be maintained. And I'd be interested to see Kenobi progressing in skill and wisdom towards the dual in Star Wars: Rebels that made everyone rethink what being a Jedi master entailed.

Yes, but in a fight between real people, say Stan vs. Batman...

Is this related to the plot point that Council robots are...um, shall we say, more than meets the eye?

I'm guessing a time gate of only 8 hours per day. How long does the accolade take? 😄

The Mag 4 Knockback protection at 6-slot. The 3% damage buff (all) isn't too shabby, either. Thanks for the feedback. Good to know.

I'm working with a 50 seismic blast corruptor and am considering adding Overwhelming Force to his 6-slotted Meteor power. I notice the last of the six enhancements reads like this: The wording has me a tad confused. 1. So would slotting this be every bit as effective as slotting Sudden Acceleration: Knockback to Knockdown? I love Meteor, but am not fond of how potent the knockback is. Sudden Acceleration: Knockback to Knockdown has given me 100% knockdown, and that's exactly what I'm after. I'm guessing what the Overwhelming Force enhancement is saying is that it will convert 100% of any knockback to knockdown, and give a 20% chance to knockdown on top of that. Does that sound correct? 2. Those who've utilized this enhancement, what is "this enhancement also has a penchant for the dramatic..." implying? I didn't file this thread under "Corruptors" because this really is about the Universal Damage set and its implications. I'm just referencing in context of the current character.

Blue side, I can pretty much navigate any zone easily except PVP zones, which I almost never go in, and both the Shadow Shard and the old, foggy Dark Astoria, which I've trouble navigating in 3rd person anyway. Red side I'll have a lot of trouble, and gold side I'll have some trouble. But I'm one of those poor souls unable to play first-person for long without the curse of extreme nauseous, so it's kind of a moot point with me.

Are you implying something about our ages? 🤨

"Overly generic name": You mean like "Azuria" or "Prince Kiros Nandelu"? Or perhaps you mean like "Michael White"? Think about it. 😉 Consider this: BAB over the FBSA would basically be the Primal counterpart to Marauder's role in Praetoria: overwatch to powered individuals, and neutralization of powered threats. The conflict of interests is easily resolved. I've already mentioned he's near the end of his physical career. His wiki page calls him "semi-retired". Resignation from the Phalanx would be understandable, and as a former trainer of heroes, he'd be deeply connected to the community the FBSA is designed to interact with. He's not a mutant or science-altered being either. Take the gloves off (literally) and Michael White is an ordinary man. An incredibly tough, not-to-be-met-in-a-dark-alley man, but still a man.

Seems to me Back Ally Brawler would make a good head of FBSA going forward. He's already well-connected, by age he's approaching the end of his physical contributions to the good fight, but not his mental ones, and the role would certainly beat playing second-hand trainer in Atlas Park. Of course he's also apparently more comfortable in blue-collar situations, and would have to adapt to wearing more business attire.

What are the mechanical limitations, out of curiosity? Can we submit 100, 200, more quips and have them all delivered randomly by Chad the Bartender? Or will the system forever limit him to under a dozen? I suppose that would have implications for other NCPs as well.

That's "801C" as in "Celsius"? 😉

Hmm, perhaps you just need to change it up a bit. I'm told if you add pineapple it makes pizzas magical. So I'm told. I've yet to see my garbage can sparkle.

Speak for yourself. All "doom" means is that there are fewer pesky competitors towards my winning the day on the forums. 😁

In the last 60 days I've: 1. Respec'ed to a power that I'd abandoned years ago, removing all enhancements from it to focus on others. I've now spent some resources to slot "charcoal drawing" with a trainer-level accuracy, and a proc for recovery. While its nowhere near what I ultimately want, I am noticing an immediate improvement. 2. added the "Monk's Mound" exploration badge, which I found at the top of the UNESCO world heritage site Cahokia Mounds. Gave me a bonus of +1 to my perception. Still got to work on my defenses though. My arch-nemesis "Work" has been hitting me with Confuse, Stun, and Fear with an endurance drain that finishes off with an unwanted Sleep effect. I've had to use a lot of green inspirations to stay upright. How about you? Any interesting advancements to share this year?

Is a job in the Italian food biz the origin of the name "Spaghetti Betty" as opposed to the "Betty Spaghetti" kids doll?

Hmm, never considered making my own. That sounds like a nice skill to have.

Haven't done AE in seemingly forever, but with a lot of 50's I'm now interested, so I'm happy to see such a compilation. Thanks @TerroirNoir! One question: is this a good list for solo play?
