150 Point Project [Archive] - HERO Games Discussion Boards

I wonder if anyone would like to take up the challenge of trying to model their favorite fantasy characters (book, film, TV, comic, manga, etc.) on 150 points (75+75 in disads).

Some characters would be obviously impossible (Gandalf, Conan the Barbarian, Lina Inverse, etc.) But some others (Gollum, Elric, Thundarr, Deedlit, Dr. Van Helsing) might be entirely possible, especially if they don't have magic weapons they rely on.

I imagine one could post the character sheets they come up with right here. I have fond memories of the old 250 point project for superheroes from 4th Edition days and figured such a 'contest" (although there is no prize other than the satisfaction of a job well done) would be a perfect way to celebrate, and practice with, the new edition of FH.

(Would anyone be interested in a similar project for SH, or a 350-point project for Champions?)

Characters from literature or movies are not created with a point number constraint. As such, for some characters, 150 points may be too much. Still, it might be fun to create them anyway.

I still think that a younger version of Conan would be allright with 150 pts, as well as Gandalf.

My first FH conversion, sure I've done many things wrong. My favorite hobbit for FH.

you made a few errors in writing up Samwise.
1: you bought his size as permanent shrinking. this is wrong. FREd sez you should buy small size as a disadvantage, with DCV levels.
2: if he can't swim, this is not a Disadvantage, you just buy down his swimming to 0".
Other than that, it looks ok.

I actually did a few of those point levels for a BTVS setting.

Here is another 150 point "hero", it's Casey Jones, converted directly from the Palladium TMNT RPG stats to Champions rules. Probably more of a Dark Champions character, but heck, why not have some burnt out innkeeper in Fantasy Hero be a crimefighter in the town your Fantasy Heroes visit next time?

I love making character sheets for new toys I bought, so I wrote this one, and he works great as a 75+75 point sidekick for a technological hero.

It's Hacker X-3 from the Transformers 2007 movie toy line! He's a tiny robot who becomes a handheld video game system. He likes to hack computer systems and share his enemies secrets with the world.

How about Gandalf with a Multiform for much cheezy goodness?

and perhaps his Staff and Ring aren't paid for by the character?
