zornwil Posted December 20, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2004 Re: The Invisibles Writeups It's not legal to spread an AoE attack, it's on page 380 of 5ER, as Steve pointed out, I just missed it the other night, it says specifically "Characters may not spread attacks that affect an area (such as...any power with the Area of Effect...Advantages)". So either a slightly expanded AoE beyond a hex with Selective or Autofire with the +1/4 AoE. I'm inclined to go towards the latter with 2 shots, I don't get the impression he could do a whole lot.

Koshka Posted December 23, 2004 Report Share Posted December 23, 2004 Re: The Incredibles Writeups Finally saw the movie Sunday, so I can read these threads now . Nice writeups, my only real comment is that I would have called Mr Incredible's extra STR either Limited Conscious Control or No Conscious Control. He seems to have a bit of a problem controlling his super-strength when he's ticked off (see the fingerprints in the car roof), and of course when he thinks his family is dead and goes Enraged ....

zornwil Posted December 24, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2004 Re: The Incredibles Writeups Thanks much. NCC or Limited CC sounds good. Might do that, but not for a while, I saw the movie today (7th time, yes I am a fanatic) and really want to do the others. Also, as to the discussion above re Syndrome's ZPE hold, I realized today that the reason he gets off 2 separate shots is simple, one shot is from each of his 2 wrist controls, so it's an instance of 2 Foci/Weapons going off in the same phase. I have to double-check the rules on duplicated Foci, two-handed fighting, and multi-power attacks, but that will straighten out his ability for sure to hit 2 target hexes.

zornwil Posted December 25, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2004 Re: The Incredibles WriteupsOkay, here's Frozone. Although we saw a reasonable bit of him, I found it hard to do - it's implied he can probably do even more with ice powers, though I stopped shy of giving him Variable Advantages. It was a bit hard to boost his power level to 350, but I think it really should be, as in a full write-up Mr. Incredible would certainly be more, and bear in mind as Mr. Incredible flips through Syndrome's computer, the supers that the Omnidroids fought go up in power (note there's a power level in the upper right of each super's profile, though we don't see Frozone's or Elasti-girl's, but we know Mr. Incredible is 9.1 (IIRC, it's 9.x at least) and the power level goes up more or less as he thumbs through each Omnidroid's opponent chronologically), and Frozone was, based on Mirage's surveillance, somewhere fairly soon on the list and presumably not too far below Mr. Incredible. A few things I'd like to explain right off - given his handling of the police and his earliest comments on dealing with superwomen and his general appeal, I figured while his general PRE isn't THAT high, he is "charming" hence the Skill Levels with Conversation, Persuasion, and (not in the movie directly but I figured) Seduction, and this goes to explaining why a policeman (even a rookie one, obviously he's a nervous kid) would let him "drink his drink". The "small personal base" is a reflection of, if you noticed, the various "stuff" behind the fake wall, it doesn't look like just Mr. Incredible's den with memories of old days, looks like he has a computer and such. I figured he MUST be well-off, given that he has a nice apartment right downtown near the financial district, and given the snazzy way he has his personal stuff hidden behind a rather high-tech switchable wall. Re the powers, I might have hyped his MP too much but I wanted to be sure he could variably switch through stuff as needed plus I think, as stated, he's probably fairly powerful, it's just hard to tell as we only saw him against the final Omnidroid, which was too much even for Mr. Incredible alone, and before that just dealing with normals (NB - note he was carrying a couple and could still run, hence a little STR). Re Disads, hard to fit in 150, so I admit a couple are probably overstated a bit. The interesting thing, and I think what I reasonably hit, is that while he has heroic ambitions to protect people, he very much wants to obey the law (remember, he's not keen on going out for "bowling night" and deceiving everyone); so I gave him 3 relevant Disads, one is that he certainly will protect against grave danger (note he is inflexible in wanting to stop the Omnidroid, not even "the greatest good you'll ever have" stops him ), another is that he is a good friend to Mr. Incredible (so he allows himself to get mixed up in heroics again even against small threats), and finally he really wants to do what society and his wife are asking him. I included the "honesty" with that as I noticed it was interesting his wife, who clearly didn't know or see the Omnidroid, wasn't surprised that he wanted to go out and do some "daring-do" so I strongly suspect he's told her of some sort of occassions of such, though probably not the most recent so-called bowling nights (although maybe so, given that was almost 2 months before the Omnidroid attack). You miay wonder why I gave him 2d6 of Unluck; that was done to reflect that he seems to suffer from bad timing/events. Note that the Omnidroid attack comes exactly when his wife has his supersuit removed, and he and Mr. Incredible both fall into the jewelry store, looking like "bad guys - incompetent bad guys!"Okay, without further ado, here's Frozone!Frozone (Lucius Best)Player: Val Char Cost 15 STR 5 20 DEX 30 13 CON 6 10 BODY 0 13 INT 3 12 EGO 4 13 PRE 3 14 COM 2 4/24 PD 1 7/27 ED 4 5 SPD 20 12 REC 12 60 END 17 25 STUN 0 6" RUN02" SWIM03" LEAP0Characteristics Cost: 107Cost Power END 60 Suit and Helmet: Armor (20 PD/20 ED) 0 4 Visor Mutes Light: Sight Group Flash Defense (5 points) (5 Active Points); IIF (-1/4) 0 16 Quick on Ice: Running 10" (20 Active Points); Power only works on ice Power does not work in Uncommon Circumstances (-1/4) 2 11 Snazzy Icecapades on Iceboard: Flight 10", Reduced Endurance (1/2 END; +1/4) (25 Active Points); OAF (-1), Only In Contact With Ice Surface (-1/4) 1 80 Ice Attacks: Multipower, 100-point reserve, (100 Active Points); all slots Does not work when Frozone is dehydrated or no water in air Power does not work in Uncommon Circumstances (-1/4) 12m 1) Frozen (with Ice Wall option): Entangle 7d6, 7 DEF (Larger Wall (+3")) (76 Active Points); Does not work when Frozone is dehydrated or no water in air Power does not work in Uncommon Circumstances (-1/4) 8 11m 2) Stunningly Cold: EB 14d6 (70 Active Points); Does not work when Frozone is dehydrated or no water in air Power does not work in Uncommon Circumstances (-1/4) 7 5m 3) Icey Conditions: Change Environment 8" radius, Varying Combat Effects (30 Active Points); Does not work when Frozone is dehydrated or no water in air Power does not work in Uncommon Circumstances (-1/4) 3 Powers Cost: 199Cost Skill 9 Power - Freezing Multipower 14- 3 Acrobatics 13- 3 Defense Maneuver I 3 Teamwork 13- 6 +2 with any three related Skills 3 Conversation 12- 3 Persuasion 12- 3 Seduction 12- Skills Cost: 33Cost Perk 5 Money: Well Off 4 Vehicles & Bases Perks Cost: 9Cost Talent 2 Environmental Movement - Icey Terrain (no penalties on) Talents Cost: 2Val Disadvantages 20 Hunted: Syndrome 11- (Mo Pow, Harshly Punish) 15 Psychological Limitation: Protect the Public in Times of Unusual Danger (Uncommon, Total) 20 DNPC: Wife, Honey 11- (Incompetent) 10 Social Limitation: Social Events, Wife's Obligations (Occasionally, Major) 15 Social Limitation: Secret Identity (Frequently, Major) 10 Social Limitation: Well-off, job (Occasionally, Major) 15 Psychological Limitation: Loyalty/Friendship to Mr. Incredible and family (Very Common, Moderate) 15 Psychological Limitation: Honest and tries to obey society's rules (Very Common, Moderate) 10 Unluck: 2d6 15 Reputation: Major super of past, 14- 5 Psychological Limitation: Nostalgic (Uncommon, Moderate) Disadvantage Points: 150Base Points: 200Experience Required: 0Total Experience Available: 0Experience Unspent: 0Total Character Cost: 350 Height: 1.84 m Hair: Black (facial hair only) Weight: 62.00 kg Eyes: Brown Appearance: Personality: A charming and attractive man, Lucius manages to be both affable and commanding in presence at the same time.

Karma Posted December 27, 2004 Report Share Posted December 27, 2004 Re: The Invisibles Writeups Maybe I missed something but Dash's 'autofire' punches didn't look all that effective to me. I mean he hit a minion several times in quick sucession and the minion was able to shake it off in a moment (post segment 12 Recovery?) and hit Dash (who may, I grant you, have jumped given what followed). At the very most all he did was distract the minion long enough to make him run into a wall. Giving him any kind of effective HA (let alone +2d6 autofire) is going a little far in my opinion. He might hit a hundred times in quick succession but it won't actually *hurt*. Of course, this is just my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if you give the characters disadvantages they will have to buy off as they get experience, it's hard to exactly model the effects of knowing you CAN do stuff but not knowing precisely HOW.

I believe the way I wrote it up he would barely penetrate on each strike. The first agent, the one driving the hovercraft, was going to go down, I think, when Dash looked up and saw they were about to hit the cliff, though Dash would have had to get just a few more licks in. The guard seemed stunned (in the true sense, not at 0 STUN). Obviously, YMMV (and does, that's cool). I'm just explaining my thoughts on the matter.

Also true, and hence their disads. Thanks Michael. It's easy to model that... it's called experience points. (PS) IMHO, not really. Bear in mind when a PC first starts in a campaign, he usually has a pretty solid idea of how to use his powers - and those who don't (IME) tend to take a Disad which they later buy off.

As to the comment about your last games, I've always wanted to do that but...haven't. I've always thought that would be fun, thanks for bringing it up and the input. PS - very glad you liked Edna, actually, she's a real labor of love, like most people I was deeply impressed with her character. In the end, despite an earlier answer in a poll, Mr. Incredible is my "favorite" as he really is the closest to me and I suspect many people react almost on a demographic basis to the characters as they are so well-written and true-to-life. I was really taken with Mr. Incredible's quote "I was so obsessed with under-valuing myself I under-valued all of you," which hits too close to home.

Good catch, will modify, that's just in time to modify before I send the "final" versions to Mike for Surbrook's Stuff. Any other comments on Frozone or Edna or Syndrome before I finalize? Syndrome I'll fix the ZPE thing by making it on two wrist Foci and ensuring he can two-hand attack, I just haven't checked the rules thoroughly yet. I'm also going to give him a little Armor or something just as a general balance issue, and probably make him a good bit harder to hit (probably ensuring he has skills not to be surprised and all that, I have to review) as you'll note that while the Omnidroid hit him little else does - in fact Mr. Incredible misses with a tree despite his obviously high OCV otherwise in the movie! Of course what makes this harder is that there's a lot of plot device stuff involved. Possibly Syndrome should just be faster? That gives him aborts and explains a lot - make him SPD 8 perhaps??
