C-Note Posted June 30, 2016 Report Share Posted June 30, 2016 Michael Moorcock's Eternal Champion has many different incarnations across the Multiverse: Elric, Hawkmoon, Corum, Erekosë, John Daker, Jerry Cornelius, etc. How would you design something like this in Hero? Multiform and Extra-Dimensional Movement with No Conscious Control? Completely separate and unconnected characters? Something else in between?

Lucius Posted June 30, 2016 Report Share Posted June 30, 2016 Completely separate and unconnected characters? Unless there's some reason to do otherwise. Lucius Alexander Reincarnating as a palindromedary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richgee Posted June 30, 2016 Report Share Posted June 30, 2016 It has been a long time since I picked up the books or rpg but as I recall the eternal champion is a possessing entity with its own agenda. I've got to agree. It is an entirely different build with no skill or attribute over lap. Just some memory transference. You jump from 25 point normal human to 250+ near God like being.

Netzilla Posted June 30, 2016 Report Share Posted June 30, 2016 Yeah, the few times where multiple Champions were in the same place at the same time were to battle against multiverse-threatening entities* and even then the fates wouldn't risk more than 4 ECs in the same place at the same time for fear of sundering reality (which would kind of defeat the purpose of the EC). So, really, the EC spirit is just SFX for having different but linked characters in different campaigns. * Seems like there's the seed of a con scenario in this...

Christopher R Taylor Posted June 30, 2016 Report Share Posted June 30, 2016 I figure there's no need for any mechanic, that's just his background. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
