http://forums.sjgames.com/showthread.php?t=63647]This thread over on the SJGames Forums caught my eye, and I thought I'd pick the brains of the folks here about it. Basically, the thread starter wants racial templates for Borribles and Rumbles. Any ideas, besides what's already in the thread?

- Michael Ignatieff, addressing Stanford University in 2012

Last week I was idly thinking about what the teachers at Hogwarts would be like, when an old show came on t.v. and I was inspired to write up this
character. This is a rough draft, but I'm sick so I'm not going to be doing a lot of stuff and I wanted to actually get something posted, so here it
is.

Valerie Felicity Frizzle

Age: Unknown, appears to be in her mid to late 20s.

Height: 5'4"

Weight: 129lbs.

Hair: Red-head

Eyes: Black

********************************************************************************

Notable Mundane Attributes

Teacher Extraordinaire: Ms. Frizzle is a natural at teaching. Not only is she good with children and capable of
putting together a detailed

and engaging lesson plan, but she is also qualified to teach nearly every subject students ages eight to eighteen might need to learn.

And of course, she also does great field trips.

Bus Driver: Ms. Frizzle is an expert driver, and few people could drive a school bus like she does.

********************************************************************************

'Wavium Abilities: The woman known as Ms. Frizzle is has apparently waved herself into an exact replica of the
fictional character of the

same name (with all that implies), though whether she did so on purpose isn't known (and she's not talking).

********************************************************************************

Quirks

The Friz: Ms. Frizzle is just as eccentric as her fictional counterpart.

********************************************************************************

Trivia

Ms. Frizzle has had multiple offers to come teach at various other fen schools, but has so far turned them all down.

********************************************************************************

The Magic School Bus

Registry Number:

Base Hull: Heavily Modified Type A School Bus

Drive Type: Speed

Drive Rating: 0.1c

Owner Of Record: Ms. Valerie Felicity Frizzle

Flag Of Record: Hogwarts

Home Port: Hogwarts

Purpose: Student transport, personal transport for Ms. Frizzle.

Launched: Unknown

Crew: Ms. Frizzle, Liz, The Bus

Faction: The Wizarding World

Status: Active

********************************************************************************

Known Vehicle Quirks

"Magic" School Bus: The Magic School Bus is heavily modified by both mundane means and handwavium. Not
only can it nearly double it's internal volume (do to a complex system of motorized slidout and extendable sections), but it's interior is full of
hidden compartments and fold out devices, seemingly far more than should be able to fit (even the seats fold up, away and into new configurations), all
controlled by numerous buttons, switches, and levers.

********************************************************************************

Known Crew Quirks

Liz: Liz is Ms Frizzles pet lizard (of indeterminate species). Liz is both sentient and slightly anthropomorphic,
capable of both walking upright and fine manipulation with her front legs/arms (she is, however, not capable of speech). Liz acts as teachers assistant for Ms.
Frizzle, and occasionally drives The Bus during field trips (she has a license). If, during field trips or class activities, Ms. Frizzle has to leave the
students for a brief period for any reason, or if the class must split up, she leaves Liz in charge, acting as a sort of substitute teacher.

Twitter comments from
Marcian Tobay

- Brief mention of the "Coming Storm" showing up in Cimerora, possibly related to everyone's favorite Sybil Widow, though Jay says he put her
there because it would be hot looking.

Official forums presents the latter list here:

"Oh, silver blade, forged in the depths of the beyond. Heed my summons and purge those who stand in my way. Lay
waste."

Basic notes:

Dual Pistols are blasters, corruptors and defenders

Demon summoning: They were gonna have clown summoning, but 'decided to leave the silly stuff to the other superhero game'

Praetorian Clockwork are obtainable costume parts

New Zones, new tutorial. You start as Praetorian and choose hero or villain before moving to main earth.

Ultra mode: a new graphics setting. You can play with the old methods with no increased hardware cost, but if you have a more modern graphics card, you can
turn it up. Real time Shadows that move according to the time of day, full reflections (Including characters), general increased prettiness...

No war walls in Praetoria.

But Soviet Russia doesn't exist any more, so we'll just have to settle for http://englishrussia.com/?p=381]a pimped-out Russian tank.

(This was today's http://www.userfriendly.org/links/]User Friendly Link of the Day.)

There's some obvious Fenspace goodness here, but it's just too nifty to not share with everyone else...

Ok, maybe not so practical. But still pretty awesome.

This is the final build that I'm working towards with my Claws/Regen scrapper Mitarashi Miyoko.

Using the following build, with all 4 accolades, it nets a whopping 73 HP/s

The build relegates HP gains over Regen gains, as I noticed that any regen you get from sets is based off of your bare minimum, which, well, didn't add as
much as i wanted in the long run.

any suggestions to improve my Regen number would be nice. But i think its just about, well, finished.

It also has no over caps on Regen or HP bonuses.
