The Boston Hero's League

[phydaux]

Here's a few heros I'm using in my current campaign. The PCs are all 300 point villains. I'm using these heros as the local super group and the PC's primary foil.

One of the first things you'll notice is all these guys are LOW point cost. I'm ok with that, for a few reasons. First, I'm a notorious point shaver going back to 2nd Ed. I can get a lot of mileage out of 200 points. Second, they all have Stealth, Radio Comunications and the Teamwork skill. these three guys can pull off Combined Attacks like nobody's buisness.

I just would like to post them here for some feedback.

Your layout is rather unorthodox.

Most people would describe this as a 322 point character. This isn't much different from a standard 350 point character.

There seemed to be a couple of oddities in your maths from when I quickly looked over your characters. I would consider rechecking them.

You list DEX after BOD in your character writeups. While that makes a kind of sense, it's non-standard, and thus makes it a little harder for other people to read.

You also seem to reduce point costs for Everyman skills. That isn't how I handle them, but I may be the one that's "wrong".

The characters themselves didn't make much of an impression on me, for better or worse. Assault's not afraid of them.
