Re: X-men characters

 

Incase any of you use paper minis, here's a link to the minis I made for my game at home. The file is 1.1 meg in size. My minis are a little big so I included an appropriately sized hex map section to print out. Print these on card-stock paper for sturdier minis.

Re: X-men characters

 

Great job overall with this thread. I've enjoyed your rendition and I love watching people fit characters into 350.

 

6u. #8) Ice Walls Force Wall: 6 PD/ 5 ED, 2†long; 0 END (+1/2)

Uncontrolled (+1/2) 0

House Rules:

MP slot #8 Ice Walls is a simulation of how I envisioned Iceman's ice generation power working in comics and animation. I have allowed Iceman to Sweep the creation of these walls to simulate his ability to swath an area with free standing ice walls. These walls can even be used to create temporary bridges and to hold doorways closed. It's considered these walls normally melt rather quickly (reduce PD and ED by half every 5 minutes).

 

I always thought that Iceman's walls were best represented by Entangles used to form a barrier rather than wrap someone up. That then allows you to sweep it, without having to create house rules to allow it. All in all, that is a small quibble. Keep up the great work.

Re: X-men characters

 

As far as the Religious skill, I didn't see the need to purchase what I consider an everyman skill (K.S. own religeon), but I'll say again that this is not THAT Kurt Wagner. This is a character with the same name and similar stats and disadvantages.

 

Good call...I prefer the original Kurt, the swashbuckler(the way Dave Cockrum likes him) and not the devout religious bore he's become

[Sketchpad]

Re: X-men characters

 

Gotta disagree with the deletion of Nightcrawler's religious backgrounds & beliefs ... always seemed a core element to the character. Don't get me wrong, he's a swashbuckler as well ... but I always found his Pious nature to be an interesting element to the character.

Re: X-men characters

 

Wouldn't Kurt's skin be a bonus to Stealth? Correct me if I'm wrong (I don't have my rule book handy)' date=' but isn't Concealment concealing items on oneself or area? Also, shouldn't Kurt have a KS: Religion? This has always been a core idea behind the character ...[/quote']

 

Actually when I wrote Kurt up a years ago I bought his skin as Invisibility to Normal Sight, No fringe, only works in shadowy places

[Sketchpad]

Re: X-men characters

 

I'd agree with that use

But, they havn't been deleted. They're right there on his sheet:

 

"Fearlessly Heroic" and "Code vs. Killing"

 

In this case, the reason for these disadvantages isn't because of the generic "Oh, well, you see... he's a Hero". Kurt is this way because of his faith and beleif in God and the greater good. K.S. Religion wouldn't replace that.

House Rules:

Since I was making x-men that were comparable to their stats as beginning heroes, I wanted Magneto to be at an equally beginning level (for a super-villain that is). This version can pull down some really mean abilities with his VPP (such as enhancing his EB to 28D6), but he's still pretty vulnerable. To make a scarier version of this guy increase his DEX, CON, PRE and EGO to 30; Increase his END to 100+ and double the active points of his elemental control powers.

 

His hidden laboritory is worth 50pts instead of 25pts because I allow all equipment and bases to be bought for 10 points per one points spent.

 

P.S. Can anyone tell me if that link to the paper miniatures is working, I can't seem to make it work on my end

Re: X-men characters

 

Cool! Thanks!

[MagicPegasus]

Re: X-men characters

 

I liked a lot of the ideas, but I would have made them around 500 points. I can't see Wolverine with only 20 DEX and 4 SPD. The average Joe starting super character usually has more DEX and more SPD than this. One idea is to give him Fast Recovery: 10 pts: +30 STUN (only usable to improve his recovery times when unconcious, -2)

[Agent333]

Re: X-men characters

 

Again, the idea isn't to make accurate portrayls of the characters. It's merely to make passable versions of the X-men at 350-355 points. Certainly they can all use another 200-300 (usually more) points to be accurate to the comics as they stand now. I was trying to give myself and beginning players templates to play or use as examples for their own characters.

 

EDIT: For excellent writeups of the X-men that's much more accurate, I suggest going to the Wild Hunt . Some of the chracters are in 4th ed, but they are constantly being updated to 5th. It's my favorite version of the X-men for Champions.

Character Total = 350 points

 

House Rules:

Kitty's Desolidification should also have the ARW advantage on it, but since this pushed the cost just too high I've decided to allow Kitty to phase others while still desolid herself. It's either that or a Cheese-burger deluxe power like NND Transform on a Autofire Damage shield. Since Kitty is a very non-combat oriented character (for the most part) I felt this route was more appropriate.

 

Electrical Disruption is a super-double-cheese way of getting 10D6 of NND for cheap, a real no-no. I used Energy Blast instead of Dispel vs. Electronics since it should be capable of damaging robotic characters and the like (read: Sentinels).

 

Resolidification is another cheese power that Kitty will use VERY rarely since it simulates her ability to either phase solid objects into opponents or to actually reach into a person and phase precious body parts out/off of them (a power that's alluded to in the comics but I've never seen her do it).

 

Kitty's Flight has the No Turn Mode advantage sice it's supposed to simulate her running speed.

Re: X-men characters

 

Was writing up Dazzler's ability to store transduced sound ever a consideration for you?

 

I like this version, because it eliminates the need to track whether she has enough juice -- END aside -- for any particular power, but I remember liking that aspect of her powers for some reason.

 

Also, I've been really enjoying your write-ups of the X-Men. It's nice to see versions that people could potentially play out of the gate. I try to do that when I write up characters as well.

[Agent333]

Re: X-men characters

 

Was writing up Dazzler's ability to store transduced sound ever a consideration for you?

 

I have to admit, not really. I failed to look up any other write-ups of Dazzler when I was doing her character. I took her powers directly from the Ultimate X-men and my MSH character entry. I merely took her ability to convert sound to light as a SFX and a good excuse for a 1/4 limitation.

Thanks DrFaust, I appreciate it. It's been alot of fun and I miss the days of the 250 project. I guess this is my attempt at a kind of 350 project for the X-men. I'll have more surprises in a couple of days.

[Agent333]

Re: X-men characters

 

Here's my surprise: Travel size minis you can take anywhere with you. I print my character images as 1"x1/2" portraits I fold and tape into a "chit". I print out undersized hex maps that can easily fit on a coffee table and have me some good clean superhero fun.

 

http://www.geocities.com/myndovamadda/Travel_size.zip

 

The file is 5.5 Megs so dial-up users be warned, it will take a while. I've gotten a lot of enjoyment out of this set of chits and I hope you can too. Let me know what you think about this as an "RPG to go" option.

A little while back I started making HERO versions of the x-men as a mental exercise. This grew into doing a few solo-rpg sessions and running a few full scale combats. I've had so much fun I thought I'd share my write-ups with you guys and maybe give a little of my inspiration energy to my fellow heroes and heroines on the messageboard. (Originally I intended these writups for new players who want to play a character "like" wolverine or cyclops. Think of these as quick-start templates)

 

A few things to take note of, these X-men have no connection to any established continuity save one of my own making. I've included the disadvantages I used for each, but they are by no means an attempt to accurately replicate the original character. All these characters were built to my champaign's specifications for supers games: 250 point base + 100 points in disadvantages. I also allow beginning characters to have up to 5 "Quirks" (1 point flaws described in GURPS) that may be purchased past the Disadvantage limit.

 

Also, these charcters were built with my house rules. Where these rules pop up I'll give an explanation at the end of the character listing. As always, disregard what you don't like or would never allow in your game. In almost every case, changing these powers back to the official rules will increase the point total of the character.

House Rules:

Surprisingly, I don't think I used any house rules for Wolvie. I've made extensive use of the rule that allows Martial damage to add to advantaged attacks without being reduced in effect. This doesn't go over well in some campaigns, so remember to adjust his claws final damage if you disallow this option. His Claws are bought with the restrainable limitation to simulate that certain holds and restraints render his claws ineffective.

 

Problem I have seen when many people make Wolverine is that he really has problems taking attacks. He may have a good con but with a lower PD/ED he has a tendency to be knocked out rather quickly. One thing that I believe is a definite requirement for Wolverine is Damage Resistance (at least for the STUN of the attack). You also may want to include Resurrection with his regeneration as I have seen in comics plenty of times where he is seen dead, but still manages to come back.

I've always seen Wolverine with a decent PD, but not the greatest rPD. He can take a punch and some weapons, but bullets tend to shred him a bit. In the same matter, I could also see him having some HA/HtH DCs due to the metal skeleton. 

[Christopher R Taylor]

The way he's portrayed in the comics, damage reduction makes sense for Wolverine.  He's not bulletproof, but he can take a hell of a hit without it doing significant damage to him because of the skeleton.  He regenerates so fast that even if you put him down he'll be back up pretty quickly.  So DR, high CON, high recovery (very high) or some kind of Regen on other stats for STN and END, and of course regeneration, but high and quick, like per phase and several Body at a time.

 

Of course, I'm basing this on what I know of the character from the 1990s at the latest, so who knows these days what is going on.

 

Quote

I merely took her ability to convert sound to light as a SFX and a good excuse for a 1/4 limitation.

 

Yeah I mean its worth giving her an absorb to boost a multipower from sound based attacks, but they're super rare and she generally just powers up from ambient sound.  She's yet another glass cannon in the X-Men, a character who'd last maybe 4 phases in Champions because she is literally all offense.

I am more curious about how he can regrow an arm and it will have metal bones and claws already installed.

That is indeed a head-scratcher. My favorite was in Annual #11 (image below), when he regenerates from a DROP OF BLOOD. A single drop hits a cosmagic crystal and he's restored. Adamantium still weaved in. I think that was the issue that I started getting tired of the "Wolverine saves the day" trend.

But then Wolverine is a superhero from a comic book with pretty much means that reality is completely thrown out the window. So I guess it all depends on what type of game you wish to setup. I have run in a few Champions games where the GM makes sure that physics is still in the picture. Things like if you have parts of your body that are not actually parts of your body then they don't regenerate, or despite the fact that you have the STR to lift up a Destroyer, you can't as when you try to lift the sheer weight of it causes you to tear off the portion you are lifting, and so on and so forth.

I disagree to an extent. Like Champions, comic universes have some limits. Or at least used to. Uncanny X-Men #141/142, as example, saw Wolverine obliterated by a plasma blast from a Sentinel. Flesh was seared off his bones, leaving only the metal-bonded skeleton to land on the ground. Charles Xavier had to give up being with the X-Men after a massive cardiac attack in Uncanny X-Men #200. The only saving grace was being beamed aboard a ship that had alien medical procedures. Hence why Magneto took over the school and was working with his one-time foes. 

Yes, comics bend physics at times. Really, most of the time. As does any superhero game or setting. Folks don't fly, people don't launch energy beams from their hands, etc. But there are limits in many of these settings, and when events began to bend them, that's when folks start questioning the settings and its characters.
