I'm still trying to design my hero swallowing villain "The Haggis". We've decided that the Entangle is the best way to go. But I'm befuddled on the exact tech right up and AP/RP costs Let me break down what has been figured so far, or what I'm wanting I figure the entangle should be 6d6 at least. Not sure if I should up the DEF a little to show a strong constitution. Breaking free of the entangles has to do body or stun to the user. Though once they actually break free he just upchicks them.. there will be no breaking through the stomach. Would this be a No Range lim on it...since it's his stomach I also thought of a "Grab first" lim too …

Just made a new character for the Champions game Mr. Vimes runs, and I thought I see what the assembled Hero masses think. The character is an Android with a few martial arts, but his real schtick is the Advanced Holographic Projection System installed in him. He's one a of a series of androids originally designed to fight metahuman crime. When they failed miserably, they were mothballed until some police science geek yanked them out and installed the holographic technology in them, and now they are used to recreate Metahuman crimes. An accident reintroduced the combat programming to this one's memory, and now he fights evil once again. His name is M.A.N.I.C.…

Read it and weep, Grond fans, Gargantua on page 152-153 of Conquerors, Killers, and Crooks has a strength of 100 at a height of 32". I only bring this up in this flashy way because there are some people on the threads who have said that they are using Grond as a benchmark of the top strength in the Champions Universe and they didn't give me the impression that they knew that wasn't the DOJ take on the CU. Grond only has a 90. There, I just had to get that off my chest.

Edit: Sorry, I didn't mean to start a new thread. As JmOz points out, I meant to reply to his Building the Animated Justice League thread. I like the idea of representing how she "never fails" with her missile deflections by using Desolid. However... 1- It doesn't work against attacks from behind or by surprise. 2- If another character is behind her the attack doesn't travel through and endanger that other character. And it doesn't matter if the attacker was aiming at her or some other target; as long as she's in the path of the attack, she can deflect. Therefore, I'd argue for Missile Deflection, with some form of useable on others, with a VERY high …

Has anyone else felt the need to tinker with the Champions? I'm not talking about minor changes, like changing Defender's scientist Contact to Dr. Silverback. I'm thinking about things that should have been done to the characters before they were published. I mean, from a demo-game GM standpoint, I like Sapphire. She has a simple power set and an appealing personality. However, as a "celebrity superhero" apparently modeled on stars like Shakira or Jennifer Lopez, she has no Reputation. She's supposed to demonstrate how the system works; I think a comparison between her fame and Defender's would be interesting and informative. Of course, he has no Reputation eith…

Hi all, Does anyone have or know where I can find plans for Homestead, the headquarters of the Champions, Millennium City's best known superhero team? I'll also take plans of headquarters that can be easily converted into Homestead. Steve, any chance of Hero Games putting the plans into Digital Hero? Yours, Mark Rand

One of my players has decided to create a shapshifting character. To this end he has given the base form a VPP with Multiform (as per the USPD). This will allow him to assume the forms of different creatures and is one of the best ways that I can see (Thanks Steve) to do Shapeshifters. We have one problem though - he has a bunch of skills and languages that he knows in his base form and would like to be able to use them in his new forms. Unfortunately (as far as I know) Multipowers does not facilitate this and I think it is unreasonable for to have to buy these skils again in each multiform....Does anyone have any ideas of how to get around this? Thanks Daz

If a great villain has to be a master villain (which I don't agree with) I thought maybe we needed this thread. When it comes to meat and potato beat-down villains, the guys who maybe are working for someone else,aren't that smart or are just too lazy to use there powers for more than knocking over a bank branch or a few stores, who is the best? Rhino is my first choice.

I've got a player who wants a biomanipulating character. The disads are on paper, and aren't the question. She's not experienced enough with the system to run a VPP, so that's out. Here's what we have as a 2nd draft. All (well-meaning) comments and observations appreciated.

I have been chopping, gluing, and repainting my Heroclix and have come up with some neat looking dudes I'd like to use as villians-for-hire or minions of my Dr Doomesque superbaddie. Problem is I usually start with a character concept, then decide what he looks like. Now I have these costumed freaks with no idea what they do. I'd like to see what you folk could come up with. As the pictures are still at the photo developer, I'll describe them: 1. Think Ving Rhames in a gold body suit with wrap-around shades. (originaly a Infinity Gauntlet Thug with the bellbottoms trimmed down and the wifebeater sanded off.) 2.Masked Bluehaired Dude holding katana and smirk…

I am interested in seeing conversoins on some of my favoirte villains and NPC groups. Clown and Nuetral Ground, Blood and Dr. McQuark. Some of the nastries from Hi Tech Enemies and Mutant File... maybe even a new book of Strikeforce or a new book like that. As I liked to see the progressoin a gm and his characters took. It was interesting and shows how players and PCs progress whil RL goes on. I'd also like to see some more villain books and would of preferred the old Enemies books titles more than the "Conquerors, Killers and Crooks" but that's just me and it's only on the title. Beyond that I liked it. I would like to see a Heroes of the past type book so that …

Hey guys, I need some help building a gadget for my Golden Age gadgeteer. So far he has met several other people with "interesting" technology. The way I have role-played him, he's constantly taking notes of others' works and words. Now I want to have his notebook on the sheet, so that he can go back, look at his notes, and "improve" on others' technology. What I am envisioning is a "Handy-Dandy Notebook." (Would Eidetic Memory fit the bill here?) Doc Turbo writes in shorthand in various directions on the paper. He also draws diagrams. I am imagining that other people would have difficulty making sense out of it, but he seems to be able to zip right throu…

I am attempting to design an android for use as a PC, only I'm having serious problems balancing this thing. In an effort to tweak points, I came up with a 20 point Multipower with slots for various Enhanced Senses. Example: Slot 1) Standard Sense Mode: IR Vision, UV Vision, Ultrasonic Hearing, +4 PER with Vision Slot 2) Analysis Mode: Detect Mutants at Range as a Sense, x10 Rapid Slot 3) Blackout Mode: Radar, -5 PER Penalty to detect The idea being, of course, the droid must select a sensor mode to use as circumstances dictate. Not all of the senses can be used together, so there is a limitation here. However, putting Enhanced Senses, things which are not t…

Serial killers... 1 2

I'm wondering how being in a super powered world would effect serial killers... Would Ted Bundy have to have super powers to avoid capture as long as he did, or would there still be non-superpowered serial killers. I ask this because a) I've been watching to many Forensic Files on TV and I think a scenario based on trying to track down a serial killer would be cool. For example, what if someone who had only minor super powers got the crazy idea that by killing children exibiting superpowers would increase his own... Any thoughts, ideas, coments?

Too cheesy? Consider: A TK psionic/martial artist. Primary power being a Psionic EC containing gobs of Telekinesis, and assorted other powers like Flight, Force Wall, whatever. Would martial damage classes for his TK maneuvers be too cheesy for a purchase inside the EC? A munchkin attempt to get the EC bonus twice for the same power? Or just a legal means of enhancing his power? Akin to purching an Aid: EB in an EC with an Energy Blast in it? Or is that also rank of cheddar? How many more sentences can I end with question marks?

A player of mine just made his character for my new campaign, and ran into two problems. 1) Name. He has no idea what to name his newly made stretchy guy. He is not trying to be comic relief so most of the joke names won't fit. 2)How to simulate him just "oozing" out of grabs and most entangles. Any help would be greatly appreciated. John Spencer
