Captain Photon Posted June 21, 2004 Report Share Posted June 21, 2004 Hey guys Perusing the Yengtao thread has led me to wonder what sort of stats Nightwind has - I imagine he's a pretty kick-ass MA. Where can I find his write up? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJR Posted June 21, 2004 Report Share Posted June 21, 2004 Re: Nightwind? His write up is in Millennium City. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Photon Posted June 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2004 Re: Nightwind? I thought so - it's the one book I don't have. Which will be remedied shortly. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JmOz Posted June 21, 2004 Report Share Posted June 21, 2004 Re: Nightwind? IIRC he had 4th edition stats as well in Watchers of the Dragon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killer Shrike Posted June 21, 2004 Report Share Posted June 21, 2004 Re: Nightwind? Nightwind is a pretty solid character. Much better at the edgy street-fighter hero schtick than Darkduck, IMO. He's on pages 53-55 of Millenium City Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Photon Posted June 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2004 Re: Nightwind? Well, I'll soon see for myself - I've just ordered Millenium city. I kinda got the feeling that he's capable of handing Darkduck his butt! Question is, how does he compare to everyones favourite Seeker?

Nightwind does have some errors and design flaws in the write up so be prepared to make some minor changes when you get the book. I do not know if Nightwind can defeat the higher-powered Seeker from watchers of the dragon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightwind does have some errors and design flaws in the write up so be prepared to make some minor changes when you get the book. As someone from Microsoft would say "Thoes are not design flaws, thoes are features!" Anyways, there are no published charaters which are totaly right stright from the book. This is doubly true with Hero. Thank Steve (yes, he is tthe protental Hero writer's god) that in the 5th edition, we get Campain Use hints for modifications.

Nightwind does have some errors and design flaws in the write up so be prepared to make some minor changes when you get the book. I do not know if Nightwind can defeat the higher-powered Seeker from watchers of the dragon. Here's my take. Nightwind and Nighthawk both have versions in 5th, right? There, Nightwind wins. Seeker and Nightwind both had versions in watchers of the dragon. There, Seeker would win (100+ pts heavier than NW, etc). So, we can thus conclude that the hierachy goes: Seeker Nightwind Nightduck and Seeker should thus be adapted to 5th as an about 600pt character.

And when Seeker gets updated for the 5th edition, expect to hear reports of Steve reciding in a nice room with the walls covered in padding.

JJR Posted June 23, 2004 Report Share Posted June 23, 2004 Re: Nightwind? I never cared for Seeker at all. I believe I am part of the minority who prefers Nighthawk over Seeker. The only advantage which Seeker had over Nighthawk was more years of exposure. Seeker was just the Champions punching bag with little real substance or power, in my opinion.

I LIKE Seeker, and missed him, but I can easly create my OWN NEW version of him for 5th edition on my own. I DO NOT hate Nighthawk. The people who DO hate him are the guys who think Change=Evil. Thay are use to the 4th edition Champions, and don't want to see them replaced just because Steve is tiered of most of them. I kinda agree that Steve being tiered of them SHOULD NOT be the reasion to dupm them and add a new cast of charaters. But, then again, who id editor and cheif of Hero Games? Not me. As for my redone of Seeker, she is Donna Morgan, a normal teenage girl liveing in Milimumen City when she started hearing a voice in her head. That voice was a friendly sounding Austrailen guy. Soon, she was haveing odd dreams where she was fighting side by side with The Champions, except thay were not quite the ones she knowes. Then, one day some thugs wanted her purse. She ended up kicking them all to lala land, and replied with "Goodbye, mates." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steriaca Posted June 24, 2004 Report Share Posted June 24, 2004 Re: Nightwind? oh sounds great I'd love to see the stats when your done I would also like to see the stats when I am done also. I don't know, should I make Don as a computer? She can defently use Don's skills. Prehaps I should do her sorta like Firestorm...a "double multiform", one with Donna Morgan as the controler and Don as the 'computer', then also one where Don is in control of Donna's body and Donna is the 'computer'. Basicly, she can give up control of her own body to Don, and when she is in control, Don is around to advise her. And the name Seeker, well, she is seeking the answers of why she has some crazy australian running around in her mindscape, messing with her life.

Metaphysician Posted June 24, 2004 Report Share Posted June 24, 2004 Re: Nightwind? Hell, 4th Ed Seeker had almost *200* points on 4th Ed Nightwind. A 5th Ed conversion would probably have him verging on 700 points, if you wanted to keep the relative positions. . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Liaden Posted June 24, 2004 Report Share Posted June 24, 2004 Re: Nightwind? The Seeker that I miss is the one toward the end of his career in Watchers Of The Dragon, with lots of background details and personality nuances rounding him out. Frankly, an "Australian swashbuckling ninja" is no sillier a concept than "a teenager gaining superpowers from a radioactive spiderbite, and creating the strongest synthetic fiber in the world with his personal chemistry set." Everything built around those concepts is what makes the characters memorable. I wouldn't be surprised if Nighthawk increases in popularity over the years, with more exposure and character development. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermit Posted June 24, 2004 Report Share Posted June 24, 2004 Re: Nightwind? I wouldn't be surprised if Nighthawk increases in popularity over the years, with more exposure and character development. Frankly, I agree. Getting to know the characters is always a plus. It's one of the reasons I enjoy reading what little fiction there is on them (I KNOW the DoJ is in the RP biz, not the fiction biz, but I do think the exposure helps). It takes time, but it's easier to appreciate personalities than it is just cold hard stats on a piece of paper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was playing SAS when the showdown stories began between the two companies. I always wish now I had saved those stories so I had a more detailed point of reference for the champions characters. Too bad DoJ and GoO did not put those stories back up with the release of reality storm. It would have been nice to take a stroll down memory lane, one year later.
