A “VERY†small part of the Hulk defined. Not wanting to get in to the in and outs of the movies. I was very disappointed in it. I did have one question. How would you define the Hulks transformation in HERO, Multi-Form or Only In Hero ID? I am personally leaning toward OIHID. Thoughts? Thanks

I am starting up an UNTIL-based super agents campaign in the near future, and I have been pondering the weapon damage issue. In Champions Universe, blasters are written up as 8d6-10d6 EB, and the agents average a 4 ED, 6 points of Armor, and 25 STUN. On the average, one shot and a character is out, but they have taken no BODY damage. I have been considering changing blasters to killing attacks, for more of a "lethal" feel, but I was curious how other GMs who have run super agents campaigns have handled this issue. Do you use killing attacks of 2d6-3d6, or leave them as 8d6-10d6 energy blasts?

STRIKER WORLD BACKGROUND Introduction: Striker is an action-adventure manga written by Hiroshi Takashige with art by Ryoji Minagawa. It takes place in the modern day here-and-now, and mixes high-technology, international intrigue, and telekinetic powers with equal parts of gunplay and martial arts. Many characters and elements of the Striker series would work quite well in a superhero setting, and much of Striker is perfect for use in a high-powered Dark Champions setting. Certain elements of the universe could also be used in a cyberpunk, fantasy, or science fiction campaign. History of the World: A very long time ago, a great civilization arose that posses…

Yeah, I'm probably aging myself terribly - - but maybe I can chalk it up to watching reruns on SciFi channel... Naw; who am I kidding? :-) Anyway, who out there remembers "Automan"?? For those who do, remember how he had the ability to basically "cover" Walter, thus allowing Walter to also pass thru walls and such. And conversation during their "merged" time was like literally a guy talking to himself. Ah, memories... Anyway, my question is: how would you model this ability? Desolid w/ Usable On Others works, but would you use Touch Only to simulate the 'merged' aspects? Limited Power: Must remain covering other person? Something else? T…

Ok...i made a character that can control heat (not fire). And im tryiung to create a power called Superheat Object. Basically, he can heat on object that's across the room to incredible temperature (exp. a gun/object in someones hand) the point of the power is to make the person drop the gun/object becuse it is too hot to hold and/or destroy the gun/object with heat. Now how would I create this? this is what I have so far...would this work? Superheat Object: Killing Attack - Ranged 0 1/2d6 (vs. ED), Continuous (+1), Invisible Power Effects (Fully Invisible; +1) (30 Active Points); Does not work on all materials Power does not work in Uncommon Circumstances (-1/4…

With the debut of the new Fantasy Hero line imminent in just a few weeks, we're going to be removing the existing FH e-books from the Online Store. This includes the 4th Ed. FH genre book, the FH Companion I, Magic Items, and The Spell Book. We'd initially planned for today to be the last day those products would be available, but we decided to run a "Fourth of July" special and keep 'em available through Friday, July 4. We'll remove them from the Online Store after that -- so if you want 'em, better get 'em while you can! If you have any questions or comments, please post 'em in the "Company Questions" thread on this topic.

Why are bricks so popular? I am running a new game of Super Mercenaries, in a Rifts style setting. It was/is a unique opportunity for me as a GM because the group as a whole had never played Hero before! So I explained the world and there place in it. And set them free to make character concepts. This is the important part. No one had ever seen a Hero character or had any idea of what they could or could not do. After repeated assurance from me that they could indeed play any thing they wanted to, I got some great ideas back form all of them and we went on to make so very original and fun characters. Now to the point of the post. Every one came up with very diff…

I am attempting to get together a bunch of (mostly) new players for Champions. All but one are new to the Hero System, and a couple are new to roleplaying. I am winding up creating most of the PC's, after consulting with the players about what kind of character they would like. The character I'm currently working on ("Unnamed Anime-ted Hero") is essentially a character from a children's anime series transformed into flesh & blood. He's mostly a martial artist with some cartoony/videogame-type powers. The character is a lot like the Arnold Schwartzenegger character in "The Last Action Hero"; he knows all about the world of the TV show he came from, but not much ab…

I am looking for ideas for supernatural horror(wierd cults, etc.) but in the 1960s. The closest I've seen is Children of the Night by Mercedes Lackey and it's set at the end of the Vietnam War. I'm looking for books, films, and games. I think it' s very strange that there isn't anything in Call of Cthulhu considering all the alternative religions that sprung up at the time. Any suggestions?

I'm creating a mutant villian team whose leader (the mother) has a very limited form of mind control over her followers (children). I'm not sure if I should actually give her some mind control or just have the followers with a disadvantage or both...any ideas or comments are appreciated.

I can think of only two who really stand out in terms of popularity. Neither one is a full on comic book superhero by the strict definition - they have powers but no codenames or costumes: Buffy the Vampire Slayer Harry Potter Can anyone think of any others?

Somebody here in the boards posted a website or instructions for doing DC style character drawings. I've been struggling for a year to figure out a good way to get a drawing of my character Zl'f, and I figure DC style might finally get it to work. Does anyone here remember where those instructions were?

Well here goes then, how would you buy or build it. I mentioned my version using UMA 4th in the USPD thread but I haven't gotten around to converting that to a 5th Edition version yet. I'll offer one slightly broken and semi humorous way to do it as well for right now. I was just thinking how to buy it The Brick half would buy it like this... Fastball Special Toss 8D6 EB (reduced by range, limited range "only as fas as he can toss the focus", focus "martial artist") the Martial Artist would buy something like Fast Ball Special Missle 4D6 AID (only to Bricks Fast Ball Special Toss) That's without looking at my book mind y…

Ok, I'm joining a champions campaign this weekend, all characters are built on 100 + 150 disads (yes, a ton of disads, I beleive it is being done to encourage more role play and give the GM lots of hooks). The game has lots of silver age flavor, with a little bit of cutholoid horror. Setting is a major upstate New York metropolitan area. Anyway, the idea for the character is a fairly powerfull mutant with gravitational powers. I havn't thought of names at all yet, but that should come pretty easily. The character is a somewhat established hero, known localy but not nationally. The game is mostly 4th (thats what most of the players use) but 5th clarificatio…

A mage character wants to have unlimited clips for there gun, how do you do this? In essense once every 12 shots he wants to have to reload a clip, but never run out of them... My personal method right now is to tell him to buy clips to the limit and fake it from there (House rule says charges can never cost more that if the power was built using 0 end and uncontrolable)

I'm GMing a Supers campaign for a bunch of ex AD&Ders and this is thier first time playing a "Cape". My problem is enforcing the genre. My players are too quick to initiate combat with a love of attacking from surprise and not indulging in the very "in-genre" soliliquays and banter that normally proceeds violence. In so many comics and films do the bad guys explain some very complex plots to the PCs before trying to "off" them. Or how often to small pieces of information, which would shed light on what is going on, fall into the investigators hands during chance encounters or glib remarks? My players are snuffing these roleplaying oportunities out, here is…
