I had an idea spring into my brain... Just imagine a Drill Instructor during World War 2, that liked to push boots to their breaking points... And then, along came a boot that seemed to have no limits... No matter what the DI asked him to do, he did it, without fuss and with aplomb to spare... What would a character need to make it through boot camp with a perfect score in everything...? His Strength is already set at 60, with 1/2 End cost, because of the incident with the Tank... The Drill Instructor, growing more frustrated with his failed attempts to break him, ordered the character to pick up a tank... And he promptly did... Which attracted attention in a BIG …

Point and Damage wise what do you think would Absolutely be the Nastiest Attack Power that you could come up with? One that for a point to point radius would be overwhelmingly nasty. Points don't matter but try to go the lowest you can go and still have it overwhelming. Champions version doesn't matter but make sure you do list which one you are using.

Hey all, I'm working with Heroic Publishing on a revision and update to TPP Champion Organizations #2 - League of Champions. I will update and correct errors in the original material, and add new members, and new art. This title will be available for Print-On-Demand through DriveThruRPG. There will be other collaborations in the future as well.

Several of the 4e characters I created in Creatures of the Night: Horror Enemies were revised for later editions of Champions, ultimately making it to the Champions Villains trilogy. Most of them, however, did not. Tiger has expressed interest in updating selected characters for his Forgotten Enemies series (and used Lady Twilight with my blessing), but -- since I am still here -- I might like to do this myself. I've noodled around with Creatures of the Night Resurrected for the last several months, writing up 5e/CC versions of several characters. Before I go further, though, I have some important questions: Does anybody want this? Did you ever use them, back …

Is there an official limit on how much Striking Appearance you can get out of Makeover in the Champions Universe? I didn't find any answers searching for Makeover in this forum, rules question, or system discussion. The highest value I found was +3 for Menton. I ask because I have a player who is going to ask, and I'm not sure what the answer should be. Any suggestions or ideas?

1. The Dead Boyz: A streetgang consisting of low powered youths whose powers and transforms have driven them away from their families, they have carved out a small territory in between two massive gangs both of whom are held off by caution when dealing with a supervillain team...of sorts. 2. The Uptown Girls/The Harem/Justice Squadron: They call themselves the Justice Squadron but have difficulty getting anyone to agree that they are inheritors of that venerable 85 year old trademark since there's another group claiming the title. Those who call them the Harem do so because of totally unfounded rumours that their lone male member is sleeping with all his …

Is there any more information on her other than the two sentences in Champion Universe? I've finally started running my game set in LA (and it's already full. Sorry, folks. ). And as a canon character who's been active since before 1991, she fits nicely as a "retired" hero to be the team leader/mentor/figurehead. And, as always, like to see if there is any official info before I start filling in details myself.

Simply put, who is in your opinion the most weirdest villain you ever ran? It could be published, adapted, or even original...the source doesn't actually matter. For me...there is one guy in the back of my mind who I have yet to put on paper (either real paper or digital paper). The concept is that Zarnick (as I don't remember the name I originally gave him, so Zarnick is as good as a name as anything else) was a Russian scientist who eventually became obsessed with a theory of his...that misery creates super beings, and acts of extreme misery should evolve mankind into the next level. He had failing health and put himself into an ancient battle vehical which …

Since I'm running Mutants and Masterminds, but in a predominant Champions universe, I thought I would share some of my doodles as I get them done for my game. I'll post stuff here occasionally. this particular beastie is being written up in MM, but was already featured as a Champions critter. Neil has the file on this one (as do I, but it is so buried in my mac, and it is a creation workshop file and won't be read by my mac) I'm hoping y'all can convince him to post it here. Anyways the art is below. Have fun. {If you are curious about the MM stats, here is the thread to that...page 7} http://www.greenronin.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=1570

If so, how? What additional information or alterations would you like to see? I am revising the Monad for Creatures of the Night: Revised. I am going beyone simply translating the Monad into 6e/CC mechanics, to filling in gaps in writeups and adding new material. Especially new kinds of robots! This is your chance to say what needs fixing and how the Monad should be expanded and developed. Addendum: I am aware of Mechanon 3000 from Galactic Champions, the X'endron Network from Champions Beyond, and the character Syzygy from CV3. If you want to refer to them, you don't need to explain them. Addendum 2: Oh, and the supercomput…

The Great Sorrowmancers. A group of superpower henchmen of Zarkoff, a mad scientist who is obsessed with the evolution of mankind using tragic events as a catalyst for the transformation. Each member gained there powers through events created by Zarkoff, and have there own reasons for following him. Who are these people? Feel free to borrow from Doom Patrol and there villains (We don't need a disembodied brain and gay gorilla, but everything else is on the table. Zarkoff himself can be thought as an evil version of the Chief with powers.)

I'm working on updating Bay City from Champions: New Millennium for a play by post campaign. One thing I've decided that the Champions Headquarters from those books, and the team, is gone, but I'll, probably, keep the sub. Marvel's Avengers Mansion will serve as the basis for the new headquarters. Any other ideas?

Hello folks. I need your help. You see, I need to help populate the superhero soap opera "To Save The World". The soap opera focuses on the private lives of The Saviors, a group of seven heroes in a show which takes comic book troups and mixes them with soap oprea troups. Not only does the show focus on the team, but also there wives, children, and even there enimies and there families also. So, what can you tell me about them? (I remember doing this in the past, but I can't find the thread I posted the idea before. And I was inspired by my Champions Next post to ask the board for there ideas.) In case anyone needs a refresher, I'll Jus…

Hey going through the archives again, and came up with Charcoal from "Classic Organizations" Charcoal has Life Support: Self Contained Breathing" Costing END and 3x END (Total: 3) with the special effect of "holding her breath" From what I understand, she has to pay this END every active phase, with a SPD of 5, this would cost 15 END per turn, and with 46 END that means she could use this for three minutes before it fails? (And that assumes she doesn't burn END elsewhere) Am I misunderstanding the power? 3 minutes doesn't seem like it would be worth spending the points on

This universe started out like ours, with superheroes and villains appearing in publications and movies. Then, Coyote the Trickster and other extra-dimensional entities started giving people at comic book ans anime conventions super abilities. Most were given the abilities of the character they were costumed as, but others were chosen for other reasons.

I am looking for a name of a character. He is a brick with shrinking (5") and growth (7M). I can't use Sentinel as it is already taken. Anyone have any ideas for a name?

I have a character with growth. I would like to buy reduced END for STR at both normal and giant size. Would I need to buy it twice (one for normal size and 1 for giant size), or buy it for giant size and apply it for both?

I don't see this being talked about on another thread here, and I know some of you have paid to have Champions character art done by Storn in the past (a whole lot of artwork, in at least one case), but if you haven't seen it he's been calling for work over on RPGnet for a couple of weeks now and the latest post makes it sounds like he could really use it. So go check the link and if you can spare some the funds to give him some business this would be a good time to do so. Doubly so if you're a publisher or know one who might be interested, since a few commissioned pieces will help but a bunch of art for a commercial project would help more. Frankly, I'm kin…

What are your favorite Champions books from before 5e rewrote the continuity? Besides the core rules of course 😉 I know what happened after that but not much of what happened before.

Wanted to see what people thought about the idea of utilizing Figured Characteristics (like version 5 and below) and the idea of having No Figured Characteristics (as is the way of version 6). I will have to admit that in the past I have almost always considered with Figured Characteristics to be the best way, but recently I have started to gain more respect of Campaigns that do Not Have Figured Characteristics.
