Background Notes: He is a police officer, brother was injured in a gang drive by, brother is a genius, brother is now restricted to a wheel chair (Brother=DNPC/Usefull skills). Character decided to take to the streets, brother helped outfit him, money fo gear comes from aborted drug deals, character is a succesful amature archer (won a few local tournaments). Why bow instead of gun: Guns injured his brother and are the weapon of the enemies, wanted to make sure that it was known that it wasn't just another ganng attacking them. Note in Civilian ID he carries a gun and handcuffs, not pointed as it should be of limited use in game, but worth noting:

Still trying to come up with Explanatin for 75 arrows

He is a detective

And choise two

Feb 10th, '04, 09:09 AM

the only three things that jumped out to me are:

29 Dex. I don't know what your campaign limits are, but three times the normal human max is a hard one to explain without some sort of enhanced metahuman nature. Not impossible or clearly wrong, just put up a stop sign to me.

30 End. You're going to need at least 40 to get around and do the athletic things you want to do, especially with a 6 speed. I would shoot for 40-50.

75 arrows. Do you really think you will ever need more than 10 or 12? 24 to 36 (depending on the writer) Is how many Hawkeye and Green Arrow carry, and in Hawkeye's case, that includes his trick arrows.

Out of the three, I think that the only one which is going to cause you a headache in play is the 30 End. My suggestion is to sacrifice 3-5 points of Dex in favor of Con. The other two won't cause you any game issues, but you'll have to come up with some metagame answers as to why he's quicker than Batman and carries about three quivvers around with him.

As far as the pictures go, I like the second one marginally better, but they're practically the same.

Not a bad little character! Reminds me a lot of the Rainbow Archer from "Enemies III" and "Classic Enemies". A couple of remarks:

1.) I notice the character doesn't have the Weaponsmith skill. Should he? Or does he contract out the construction of his arrows to someone else? (If he farms it out, expect the hero's enemies to use that fact to try to track down your Secret ID; after all, there can't be too many people in the campaign area with that kind of skill).

2.) One lucky Grab or an Area Effect Entangle and the character is TOAST! Have you considered giving him some sort of a backup plan (Martial Arts, Escape Artist Skill, or a Penetrating RKA "acid vial" to break out of Entangles)?

3.) Just some food for thought as an alternate way to construct the Bow & Arrows set. The 3rd Edition version of Rainbow Archer defined her Multipower as *JUST* the arrows in the quiver; she bought the reserve as OIF (since it's hard to just grab away a quiver that's strapped to someone's back) and the individual arrow slots as OAF (once the arrow is out of the quiver, it's easy to grab it out of someone's hand). All the slots also had the Limitation "No Range". Then she bought the bow itself as a separate OAF, and it basically served to just "buy off" the No Range Limitation on the Arrow Multipower. This allowed Rainbow Archer to still use the arrows in hand-to-hand combat (like Legolas when he was stabbing orcs in the eye with handheld arrows), and could be a nasty surprise to an opponent who Grabs away your bow thinking you'll then be helpless...

4.) For the Utility Belt, remember: the cheapest Skill Levels you can apply Limitations to are the 5-pointers; you'd need to increase the Reserve on that MP to 10 pts. at the minimum.

5.) It's spelled "suction".

6.) Be sure to point out to your GM well in advance about the Find Weakness; suddenly springing on your GM that your 60 pt. Multipower is now suddenly Armor Piercing might make him feel like he's been sandbagged. Also, I'd wonder about the value of having Find Weakness on a character like this; since his specialty seems to be attacking opponents from a safe distance, you'll probably have some hefty penalties when you try to Find Weakness from so far away. You might ask your GM is you could buy some Range Levels or the equivalent for the Find Weakness, so you can spot the chinks in the bad guys' armor from further away.

7.) Just my personal preference, but the "Reinforced Bow" MP slot just doesn't pass the "smell test" in my book. In order for it to be sturdy enough to be an effective H-T-H weapon, the bow would be far too rigid for a person with normal human strength to draw back. Better to beef up his hand to hand ability with some Martial Arts, or the aforementioned ability to use arrows with your bare hands....

If your GM allows those no-END skills and skill levels into the Multi-power then I'd say you're in business. Otherwise I think everything looks fine.

Wow, some good food for thought:

1)His background blirp covers this, his brother, a DNPC will be his tech boy

2) I KNOW, MA is on the short list of things to buy

3) Actualy No Range would be wrong, and I hate the LBO method. HOWEVER I considered making it Range Based on Str, then buying the bow as extra Str, only to throw arrows (a -1 or -2, I would say). Put simply I did not have the points to seriously consider this, but as an outlet for XP I will keep it in mind...

4) You are mistaken, the lowest combat skill is 5 points, the lowest skill level is 3 (And what they are built with). See 5E pg 49, c 1 p. 3

5) I so suck at spelling, thank you

6) I need to have a talk to him about the -1 lim on the Find Weakness as is, so he will know about it. However my damage is on the low side for the game (10-18 DC) so I am not to worried about it. I will also point out that with slot 2 I will be essentialy 1/4 damage with a single roll. Plus it is payback, in my campeign he had a ungodly Find Weakness roll and a 14d6 Offensive Strike

7) I will be honest, I'm not that attached to this ability BUT as it stands right now I have VERY little in HtH and felt I needed something but was running out of points...

75 Arrows is a lot and a concern of mine.

END is also a concern (I hate selling back stats) but I don't think I will be using all that much END (Note the character is a ranged combatant with charges up the wazoo). Only for Movement and an occasional fist fight

No NCM debates pleace, put simply around here human limit is 30 (though rare). Bats would have about 25, Nightwing probably 28. I might put some down, but my defenses are on the low side and I want a high DCV

Assuming a Champions Normal universe, and it's character norms (31+ is superhuman)...

You've got 20PD/ED with 10 Resistant, that's average. So, I'd probably take the Combat Luck away and use the points on giving him back the End you bought down. Or, buy up the Rec, but that's probably not cost efficient.

I don't have a problem with the skills in MP, just like I don't have a problem with the Reinforced Bow problem. But, I'm a kind GM.

He's got a high OCV/DCV (12 with levels) but a low damage (8d6 AF). He does have a few odd attacks (gas, sonic AVLD) that might turn the tide vs someone other than the agents.

He strikes me as someone "Street Level".

Oh, yeah, re: 75 arrows.

Explanation 1: Obviously you don't have that many on you. You just have the right number to do what you want and need to do. You're just lucky that you have the right arrows for the job.

"Good thing I packed all 3 of my Sonic Arrows, isn't it."

Explanation 2: Good thing little brother developed *Pym Particle Analog Quiver*. You've got one each of the multiple types of arrows available, then when you pull that one out, another un-shrinks to full size and is available for use.

My highest damage is 4d6 RKA 3rc, but otherwise you are right my damage is very low, you are also correct that he screams street level, it was intended...

Nor do they have good defences of course. IRL they'd just get shot.

Since this is high tech, declare you have 24-36 SHAFTS, and the way you remove the shaft from the quiver determines what arrow head gets attached. I could see a three position auto feed since you have autofire. Straight out give you broad head, clockwise spin give you explosive, counterclockwise gives you gas, tug left gives you... etc. This allows you to have a fixed number of charges for a given type of attack with 24-36 total shafts. You could also then use the arrow heads themselves for things if you didn't want to waste the shaft, such as doing a lob, hand granade style, with the explosive arrow head.

Another thought that wouldn't be as pretty would be extending arrows. Have them only 8 inches long in compact form in smaller pouches around the body. The drawing of the bow after they have been nocked on your special bow extends the shaft to full lengh and releases the safety on the specialty arrows.

Looks good. It would fly in my campaign. And looks alot like the ones I've made up.
RE:75 Arrows. Who cares? It's a superhero game. How does Superman conceal his identity with a pair of glasses. How does that death ray work. It's comic book convention. Though I do like Misterdeaths first explanation.

The -1 lim on the find weakness is a bit worrying, i presume it will halve the cost of levels with FW from 5 to 2.5. Cos if it does it is more powerfull than basic FW with 1 attack and cheaper to make better.

Or am i missing something about the only Pd lim, cos it works with most of your offencive arrows bar the bomb types. I presume it FW against armour and damage res not just straight Pd.

I have played an archer character off and on for years and have come to the conclusion that 24 arrows is plenty... Most combats do not really last very long and unless you are on an extended mission, far from any avenue of resupply and lose the arrows you have through attrition (not counting the expendable special arrows) you should not have a problem filling up your 24 in between encounters.

Besides, where would you store 75 arrows? You'd look like a Liefield character... :D

I realise that I will not use up all the arrows, the problem comes with the heads. I think I will be adding the following Lim: May only use up to 36 charges before charges must be recovered or return to a location with more arrows (Bike, Base, etc...0 or I might pass it off as a cinimatic type ability (John Wayne walks into a bar and shoots 7 people with a six shooter type of thing)

As for the liefild coment...No reason to get insulting :)...

Originaly it was going to be on PD based defenses (and under half of my attacks target PD). But now I think I will say it is based on the F/X of Physical Armor, either natural or external so I could use it on someone such as the Thing or Grodd, but not against Superman. By the way this lim is based on what 5e says for value but I need to talk to my GM about it still...

Thank you for the support.

Plus both you listed (Beast and Spiderman) have superhuman agility, this means they have 30+ Dex IMO. Again I'm not saying I won't drop some dex, just that it is still in setting for it to be this high...

Depends purely on what you assume to be superhuman dex, i go with 20 max, 5e says 30, fine as well. depends on the campaign.

Ps alot of my Supers have 20<dex 4<spd, especialy physically normal mutants

Feb 12th, '04, 05:00 PM

I like him. And I was glad to see this character posted because I'm working on catapultry (slingshot) character (Madstone), and you gave me some good ideas. I’m still working on some bugs, and now you all gave me more to think about. Hopefully he’ll get to the posting for review stage soon, too.

Re: 75 arrows- I don't really see a problem, but I certainly understand feeling weird about it. Madstone actually uses the high encumbrance posed by such ammunition as one argument for switching weapons.

Re: multipower range: I haven’t actually seen the Rainbow Archer’s new write up. Could someone post the stats on the bow and arrow setup? Madstone is using the Range based on STR lim on the multipower, with full range through the external OAF Slingshot, much like JmOz was positing. And originally I did design the Slingshot as extra strength, but I realized that a brick using a bow or slingshot really can’t shoot any further, so that was out.

As far as the pictures go, I like the black costume better…except for the cheesy smile. Of course, I can’t tell what his mouth is doing at all in the second picture 

Final thought (for now): He needs a signature arrow. There are so many archers out there (not complaining, I love ‘em!) that he needs something to set him apart from the crowd. Like a, oh I don’t know…a boxing glove arrow! Ok, maybe not. But I’d still like to see something in there that no other archer (or very few) would have.

Sorry, having "Youngblood" Flashbacks.

Feb 13th, '04, 04:49 AM

One early Idea I had was that his quiver would be able to make an unlimited (0 End) number of the basic arrow (IIRC it would have been a 1d6+1 rka AF-3,AP,0 End, +1 Stub, Beam)

But I decided I wanted to go more Urban flavor

Okay, I need to find a few extra points, want to add a 4 point ability to the costume...

I was discussing with my wife the "I've got more arrows than any person should be able to carry".

She suggested that on each of the slots where it matters, you put a Burnout Limitation. When it Burns out, you've ran out of those type of arrows.

It sort of splits the difference between my earlier "I just plan right/got lucky in having the right arrows" and gives it a mathematical basis for failure. Plus, you can figure based on the percentage chance of rolling the Burnout how many arrows you technically have.

I dunno if you could parlay the 14- Burnout (-1/4) limitation on the MP slots into enough points to buy your mask gadget.

I like this idea. We rarely see the archers run out of the right arrows, but we do see it. It adds a nice bit of dramatic tension. Just remember, this has to go on the slots, not the multipower!

Also, I saw on the FAQ that they suggest a -0 limitation which is that you can only carry so much at a time.

Actualy talked to the GM, HE said that he is using some house rule about essentialy you get extra points but have to buy your everyman skills (End result was I had about 7 extra points). The abiilty BTW was on the costume itself, a+2 to stealth...

The version I will be showing my GM, Version 3.0
Total Arrows: 45

You will notice I took off many of his arrows (4 different types)
I also greatly expanded on his UT Belt, including a pistol, something he will use more often in his Civilian ID than in his costumed, but he will carry one in both (two different pistols)

Some skills got changed as well.

re: the pics ... the dark costume looks better for a city based archer IMO ... though I'm not a big fan of that padded armor look Heromachine 2.0 has some better 'armor' stuff.

Okay, first I have polished the image, and I have gone with the Darker costume, so here it is for the world to see

Okay, here are the revised stats, as promised, I think I will be done with him for now, the game is Friday, and once played he will no longer get many revisions (I will probably play with his charges some as he gains p to keep them at 60 as he adds arrows)

F/X wise h carries 36 arrows, 12 broadheads, 12 blunts, and 12 shafts, all are recoverable. The shafts are used for modular arrowheads that are attached, all the other arrows have this design. Thus the reason Broadheads and Blunts can be used AF-3, he is that fast.

Note I have combined his quiver with hsi UT Belt, this was a point savings thing. The Quiver & Harness is now an OIF. The first 3 slots (marked as various Arrows) requires the OAF Bow to be shot, the slots marked "Arrowheads" can be used with the bow as per normal, or as a F/X lim (-0) Range based on Str without bow (Slots 4-9). Also note most slots are still OIF, this is because usualy he will have more of the same type in the quiver

The Suction Cup Arrows are weird in some ways, as while they will normaly be fired they can also be placed and used for line, etc... so they have not taken the OAF lim, but there are some F/X lims that go into works with out the bow (He can't throw the arrowhead and make it stick, but he could no range it, then use the rope normaly)

The Quiver and harness has various pouches that he keeps the UT items in, the pistol is holstered under the left shoulder, the tonfa is actualy in the quiver

The mask gives various sense based powers (and a little flash defense)

The costumes dark colors help him hide

Most of his skills fall into three catagories, if any do not please point them out to me

Law Enforcement/Detective
Archer
Urban Champion

The art I posted earlier is wrong, the pants should be darker

Personality wise, he is a little on the grim side when he is "on the job" this is part act, part real, outside of costume he jokes, etc... Even in costume with friends he will "Lighten up" but when he needs to be he will go dark on people

History: He was an up and coming archer, even was going to try out for the US team to the olympics when a Drive By crippled his brother 2 days before try outs. Instead of trying out he was at the hospital with his borther.

When his brother got out of the hospital he went to the Acadamy and got a job in CC, moving quickly up to detective in the Major Crimes UNit. But it was not enough.

He talked to his brother, who hasrecovred nicely, except that he will never walk again. A month later a new Vigilante prowed the streets, an arrow being the only proof of his involvement: The BOwman

wow, you've realy done a great job of getting this guy together. The differences between this write-up and your original one are substantial, without ruining the flavor at all. Well done!

My only concern is one I mentioned up front to, and that's his 29 DEX. There's nothing wrong with it per se, I just don't like it in terms of the flavor of an archer. I would much rather see about DEX 20-23 with skill levels and perhaps lightning reflexes either overall or specifically for shooting.

This character looks fantastic now! The single weakness I see is in regards to movement. Spending 2 points to buy running up to 7" would make a big difference IMO.

A vehicle like a motorcycle wouldn't be a bad future add-on either.

Talked to the GM,

He said that as long as I do not intend to use it in combat I can have a motorcycle for free (as a plot device to explain how I get to point A to B type thing)

There is a long borring story, this is the short end:

When I showed up for the game I had eliminated the Police Training Martial Arts, realising that with his dex he would have went through it no problem, but his str was not sufficent to totaly eliminate it so I added:

Athletic Build: 8 +10 STR -1/4 Does not increase lifting (10 Active Points)

The GM Vetoed it because (In his own words): I had the points to buy the Str normaly, so he bought +10 Str (to bring him to 25) You will notice that when he had the MA he was doing 5d6 Unarmed, he still is, just more strait forward

The other five points went to his rep, wealth, and the Electro-Arrow.

Still not planning on much HtH...

For that matter I tried to talk the GM into allowing me to take some of my stats as OIHID after the game because I realised just how above a normal he is in his Civ ID, he said no as the character has been played (I would have given it so his stats were Str 15, Dex 19, Speed 4 in Civ ID)

I also got 5 xp last night, so this is what I have done so far with it:

Heavy Blunt Arrows: 2u 7d6 EB, AP (+1/2), AF-3 (+1/4), OAF (-1), Beam (-1/4), 6 Rec Charges (-1/4); (61 Active Points)

I have put the other 3 away for right now, but will probably crack one out to buy a FAM with Interigation (It would have been useful Friday)

Since this is high tech, declare you have 24-36 SHAFTS, and the way you remove the shaft from the quiver determines what arrow head gets attached. I could see a three position auto feed since you have autofire. Straight out give you broad head, clockwise spin give you explosive, counterclockwise gives you gas, tug left gives you... etc. This allows you to have a fixed number of charges for a given type of attack with 24-36 total shafts. You could also then use the arrow heads themselves for things if you didn't want to waste the shaft, such as doing a lob, hand granade style, with the explosive arrow head.

Another idea popped into my head while reading this one...you could have a wireless remote control-type thing in the grip of your bow...by pressing the correct combination of buttons, the "tech quiver" could then attach the arrowhead you want next to a shaft before you even reach back for your next arrow. That's a pretty high-tech quiver, but it beats carrying 75 arrows on your back (look out, it's Porcupine man!...oh, it's that Bowman guy...)

If this character had been submitted to one of my campaigns, I think my only question would have been "What do you mean by 'Protective of Innocence'? Whose innocence are you talking about?"

You could drop the charges and just buy 1/2 END, instead -- like Legolas and his arrow-producing, quiver-shaped gland, since you're going to up your CON anyway. It's just a special effect that you have as many as you need -- the GM can fiat you out of arrows, if he needs to.

Great character! Probably the best take on the archer motif I've ever seen in CHAMPS! Well done.

If this character had been submitted to one of my campaigns, I think my only question would have been "What do you mean by 'Protective of Innocence'? Whose innocence are you talking about?"

LOL! I can see the scene:
Bowman, nocking an arrow - "Pal, you give that gal the shaft, you're gonna get *this* shaft!"

I think you mean Protective of Innocents (innocent people) rather than Innocence, which sounds like he's concerned with protecting the virtue of virgins. :)

Still a great character, though. I like!

I think you mean Protective of Innocents (innocent people) rather than Innocence, which sounds like he's concerned with protecting the virtue of virgins.

I like it better the other way. Protective of Innocents is too trite. Now a hero obsessed with keeping young girls virgin, especially in a big city, will find all sorts of challenges . . .
