I think he should have some Defensive Pre. That guy was not impressed with anything!

Re: Hellboy Write-up

 

Thanks for the suggestion. I also decided to lower his STR to 30 because he never demonstrated a STR greater than that in the movie.

Under fireproof, you have the limitation "only against fire/heat/electricity" as being a -1/2 limitation. I'd say -1/4 if anything. After those three, there just aren't that many attacks that do energy damage.

Well, it does depend on you strictly you define "heat" but since its extends to electricity that definition does seem to be board.

Re: Hellboy Write-up

 

Hmmm...his ED for purposes of "Immune to Fire" doesn't seem high enough IMHO...that blast that Liz let off, the chain of grenades...I'd make it more like:

 

+30 ED, Only vs Fire/Heat/Electricity, Hardend, Resistent. That would give him a total of 48 defense vs these attacks...any thoughts on how much power was released by the chain of grenades or when Liz let loose and took out all the demon dogs?

 

Liz's explosion...5d6 RKA, no Range, AE: Radius?

 

Grenades: 4d6 RKA explosion, Range based on strength, but how to simulate being able to throw one or multiple...6 shot Autofire?

Re: Hellboy Write-up

 

By the way, Michael Surbrook has also done a Hellboy writeup on his site. Maybe you'll find it interesting.

 

Not sure whether it considers the movie, if that's important; I know very little about Hellboy beyond the basics...

[Bloodstone]

Re: Hellboy Write-up

 

I know Surbrook wrote that up before the movie was out. I recall reading it some time last year, so it's got to reflect the comics and not the movie.

 

Oh, and you you have his Presence listed at 45, but you only have it's cost listed at 10 so it should only be a PRE 20 (45 vs fear).
