teen champions question

[Wolf]

hey herodom,
I'm getting the new Teen Champions next weekend (supposedly when it comes in) to run a champ's game with my GF as a solo thing. So several things:
1- Can someone write me some sort of a brief review, those who have it?
2- I've never really GM'd a supers game, I think I'll suck at it, I've done lots of Fantasy, Action, Modern stuff. I'm trying to read through the Champions genre book, but any additional help would be really cool.
3- I'm really nervous, I run a lot of the 4th ed, and had the Fred book, now the Re-Fred, however I never actually have run anything in either system... so this is not so much a bullet point, but just an admission of guilt... plus I've been out of the gaming loop for about a year... so it's been a while...
blink, blink. Thanks guys and gals.

I'll second what MitchellS said about keeping it simple. For example, suppose your girlfriend wants to play someone who's pretty strong and tough. You might go with just the basics like this:

STR 50
CON 25
STUN 50

PD 15
ED 15

Armor 10 PD / 10 ED (tough skin)

...and then some skills. (I don't know what point level of charcter you're shooting for).

This is a very basic build for an uncomplicated (mechanics-wise) low-level brick. Short, simple, to the point. Other stats (like Comlieness ;) ) can be adjusted to taste. If you think it's appropriate, a couple of Combat Skill Levels with Hand-to-Hand attacks.

Oh, and one other thing...don't be fooled by some of the example characters in the book. What I mean is this...Teen Champions characters are often supposed to be lower-powered than the "usual" Champions character, but some of the example characters are up in the 500+ point range. These characters are the school's equivalent to Superman (or, I guess, that should more properly be "Superboy") and a PC is not expected to be able to match this NPC in raw power. Just so you know. ;)

And good luck!

[Dr. Anomaly]

Actually, I've got an idea, and I'm going to call on the HERO forum community to help out! ;)

I'd like to see a number of sample PC characters put together as examples for Wolf, that he could also offer to his girlfriend as possible characters for her to take as her own. If she doesn't take them, then he's got some ready-made NPC classmates for her character!

So...whaddaya say? Can we help him out?

Assuming that Wolf is going to follow the Teen Champions guidelines for how the PCs should be built, here's the instructions for the sample characters you're going to help build:

100 Base + up to 100 in Disads

Characteristics up to 30 max

Speed up to 5 max

Total CV in the range of 4-8

Total DCV in the range of 4-10

Active points in any given power, max of 40 (or maybe up to 60, but rare if so)

Real points in any given power, max of 20 (in other words, most powers will have some hefty limitations or drawbacks)

Total points in skills: 30 max (unless the character is skill-based instead of powers-based)

Skill Rolls should be in the range of 8- to 12- (again, unless the character is skill-based)

Defenses should top out at 12 normal and 6 resistant.

And remember...keep the builds simple!!

So...any takers?

I'll go ahead and do a basic brick like I was talking about. I think a couple of basic energy projectors (fire, ice, electricty perhaps), a mentalist or telekinetic, and perhaps a skill-based type (science or martial arts) would be a good place to start.

Teen Titans - Geoff Johns's run has just come to an end and you can get the trades cheap.

Young Avengers - It shouldn't work! But I really like it.

Runaways - Absolutely fantastic and you can get the entire first volume in a HC. Children of a super villain group rebelling against their evil parents. Gotta love Brian K. Vaughan!

[Dr. Anomaly]

Here's a very basic teenaged female brick. I didn't give her a real name, or a super-hero name, because I'm sure that you (or your girlfriend, if she decides to use this character) can come up with something appropriate on your own. ;) Of course I had to take some liberties at defining the character's personality in order to come up with 100 points of disads, but those various Psych disads and such are easily swapped out for others.

Here's a basic mentalist. She can read minds (telepathy) and make you feel like you have the hangover she once had (ego attack). Though she has no ability to alter people's minds (no mind control) she's somehow gotten the reputation of liking to do just that...perhaps because she tends to keep to herself and people are basically mistrustful of mentalists anyway. She's subject to frequent migraines, possibly because she hasn't learned to tune out other people's thoughts completey. She also takes some stun damage if she's subject to a sight-group flash attack because the dazzling light sends a flash of pain through her optic nerves and can set off one of her migraines.

Here's a basic ice-themed energy projector. The character is written up as a cheerleader who is very warm, friendly, and helpful with the ironic twist of having ice-based powers. Despite her sunny personality, she'll probably end up being named "Ice Queen".

'Cuz Dr. Anomoly asked nicely. Here's a martial artist/energy projector. Little more complex than Dr.A's characters, but nothing to out there - one Linked Power and some Martial Arts. Plus a MultiPower for the EnergyBlaster portion.

She wants to be one of the Good Guys, but she's a bit of a trouble maker, mostly because she really just wants some attention. She's the happy friendly type, and really does want everyone to like her. but can't help but get in trouble with her antics, and is usually dubbed a trouble maker because of it.

Defenses should top out at 12 normal and 6 resistant.


6 resistant means that any bricks aren't going to be bullet-proof.

I would suggest that some characters might be allowed to increase the proportion of their defences that are resistant. It wouldn't be necessary to allow them to buy more than 18 DEF overall.

This would make it possible to build a character with, say, 13 rDEF and 5 normal. They will be no harder to stun, but are "bulletproof".

PIck up Young Justice. THAT was a book with Teen Characters and they actually did look like teens.

(shrug) Those are just the guidelines suggested in the Teen Champions book itself, which Wolf is going to be picking up. That's why I suggested them. But they are, after all, only suggestions and guidelines, and the object of the "excercise" is to help Wolf out...and I imagine he'd do some tweaking to the characters anyway. ;)

Didn't read "all" of the posts yet, just wanted to see what's up... as I just got back from a gruling day at Disneyland (sp?) and a long bus ride home I'm blury- eyed and having breakfast made for me by a more and more Irate (sp?) girlfriend... so from my skimming: YOU GUYS ROCK, Thanks... really, I'll get back to you tonight/ tomarrow, I really appriciate the help.

replying to myself always seems weird...

Anyway, what I stripped from this character was the Super Name I came up with for her: Soda-Pop Crush!

Hence all the Soda refrences in her Multipower. I took out the name to make it a little more generic for this thread. Just thought I'd share because, IMNHO, that's a darn cool name for a teen-champ. :cool:

Everyone else had fun so I'm gonna try too.

Here's a quicky write up of B-ko Daitokuji, the super smart girl in Project A-ko anime who decides that she must steal C-ko away from A-ko. (Gotta love those names.) This is her final Akagiyama 23 bio-suit from the big battle with A-ko.

I'm not sure it's super accurate, but it gets the idea across.

I dunno if Project A-ko is your style, but it's a teen environment so I thought it fit very well. If not, it's a decent teen power suit character that you can fiddle with.

Anyway, she's super strong (28 str, picks up cars, I can't remember if that accurate though, she might be stronger), tough, and the suit makes her twice as fast (SPD 4) as a normal person.

B-ko is very smart, strong willed, and quite pretty. These are her only characteristics not bought with the suit, so be careful because she's very vulnerable with out it.

The suit fires rockets, I think more than one at a time IIRC, but I hand-waved that into just one big 8d6 explosion attack. I restricted her to four volleys just to get the points down.

Her Black Jacovini Shooting Star Lash (where do Japanese come up with this stuff?) is just modeled as 2" of stretching. This allows her to do damage (HtH) with a bit of range, as well as grab, throw, etc. at range.

She has a lot of armor, but A-ko does a lot of damage. You might want to tone down the armor, or give her a low ACT (11- ?) because the bio-suit is so skimpy. Her jet pack gives her 15" of flight. Again I'm not sure if that's scale, but it gives you something to start with.

I didn't raise her REC or STUN or END, mostly because I felt I was running out of points. As a "teen", I think this fits, although the real B-ko was probably much better with her suit.

Most of her powers are bought with 0.25 lim ("D" for disadvantage in the HTML file) "Only In Hero ID". You could change her Akagiyama 23 bio-suit to OIF if you felt that was more accurate.

I didn't add any disadvantages or skills, those are for you to play with. She still has 32 points left if you take the full 100 points of disadvantages. Have fun, and I hope the attached HTML file works ok. (I had to zip it to get it to go.)
