Brick Help

[Corven_Ren]

Ok here's the poop. I am trying to convert an old brick of mine to 5thED...I just recently learned of all of the Brick tricks in the Ultimate Brick via my GM who owns the book. I unfortunatly do not. I was wondering if anyone has a brick character with a brick trick mp they could post so I can see how it is built.

I'm sure there are some writeups in some of the character threads that use such things.

 

The basic idea is to use "super strength/super tough" as the SFX for various powers. Things like "convenient thrown object" EB, AE Cone "Thunderclap", Extra defenses "Take it like a man!" etc. Look through the book, see if there's powers you could rationalize getting through being incredibly tough and strong. Alternately, read some Superman/Hulk/Thing etc comics and think of how to write up what they do.

Re: Brick HelpAll the powers are grouped by SFX of the character having lots of strength. There was another thread about just this thing...but I can't for the life of me remember enough about it to do a successful search. This was based off a 60 STR Brick...I didn't actually create the character just the MP:
