    The Ultimate Archetype book you most want to see

    With any luck, this will be the first poll So I thought I'd try to make it a useful one.

    Since the Ultimate Martial Artist book is already out, what other Ultimate Archetype kind of book would you like to see for HERO 5th? and if you can, post why, and what you hope to see in such.

    Hmmm, I guess the 12 step failed then.

    Mystic.

    The addiction was cheaper than the cure, so I kept it

    Besides, this uhm.. *Rationalizes* MIGHT be useful...

    So, what are you hoping to see in Mystic? Big Tree guys that are an army of one?

    I have picked Patriot... I think purely symbolic heroes could be cool to expand on. Especially given Patriot could also be 'Avatar', and one could be a symbol of Justice or other abstract concept just as easily as some nation.

    Went with Weapon Master, as it has components of the Gadgeteer and the MA that could be cool

    Patriot was my second choice. Especially if you include Avatar in Patriot.

    I picked Mystic because, honestly, I always end up having supernatural overtones to my campaigns. Everyone is a technological mutant, and they're still trying to hunt down vampires.

    Even I get tired of recycling ideas and stealing stuff. Besides, I'd like a nice paper version of Ultimate Mystic and (crosses fingers) since at one point Ultimate Supermage was on the update list, it might be easy to get it out fast.

    Sorry, I am a gadget freak, always have been, always will be. Although I do wonder what exactly new and interesting one might put in an Ultimate Brick book.

    New ways to hit people REALLY HARD!

    Seriously, I think one could collect really good 'Brick Tricks' as powers, like: Shockwaves, Concussive Slaps, etc. As well as Bricks in different Genres like: The Mystical Brick and the Mentalist Brick...

    Okay, I'm stretching here, but I imagine with all the vreativity we have assembled here we could manage something.

    FYI, I just got the first draft of the manuscript for The Ultimate Brick from David Rakonitz last Friday. I haven't looked at it yet, and probably won't be able to. It's not on the schedule, and likely won't be for a while. But it is in hand.

    The "Our Products" page has a list of the other Ultimate books we have in mind. Not that we couldn't add to the list, necessarily, but it might help guide the discussion. There won't be an "Ultimate Powered Armor," for example, because we'll be doing The Ultimate Armor that covers all types of armor, from thick furs right on up to Iron Man and pals.

    I went with Brick just so that I could see all those wonderful bonuses they get due to Strength only costing 1 point.

    Thanks Steve

    You guys really are amazing, thanks for the heads up

    If the Ultimate Brick book is as good as some of the posts under the same title on the old boards, it will be well worth getting.

    I voted Ultimate Patriot because I liked what Aaron did in the Champions book, not just making the patriot be all about america, it seemed to encompass other countries as well as abstract concepts. Maybe a run down of various patriot characters from comics throughout the years and maybe even some sort of scenario that would create a "patriots from around the world" type of team-up to face some super threat that endangers all their countries.

    Testing...1...2...3.. Is this thing on? Testing...

    Seriously, I've always had a soft spot in my heart for Powered Armor heroes, although I'd sure like to see a book on mentalists too.

    Powered Armor has always been my favorite too. I started out reading Iron Man back in the late 60s / early 70s. Even in anime powered armor (Knight Sabers) has always been my favorite.
