Curufea Posted June 8, 2005 Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 Re: Character: Dr. Moreau You may also wish to write a variant based on The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, by Alan Moore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trencher Posted June 8, 2005 Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 Re: Character: Dr. Moreau Nice writeup the only thing I am wondering about is the 18 in str? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susano Posted June 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 Re: Character: Dr. Moreau I debated that, but asked a few people what STR they would give to allow Moreau to toss around a grown man like was a small child. We thought 15, but decided 18 allowed for a more cinematic/pulp effects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trencher Posted June 8, 2005 Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 Re: Character: Dr. Moreau Well why not, I was thinking that he just pushed his str or had some kind of mad man's strength power but just putting up 18 in str is simple and elegant. He is not a player character after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheQuestionMan Posted June 8, 2005 Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 Re: Character: Dr. Moreau I like it just the way it it is. Concider it snagged. Great work Susano. Still some time before I can give you more Rep. So where are your Usagi Yojimbo "to Hero Conversions & Adaptations" or in this case your Indiana Jones Anthropomorphics/Furry Characters? LOL QM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basil Posted June 9, 2005 Report Share Posted June 9, 2005 Re: Character: Dr. Moreau Only 13 for his INT? I'd make it 18, easy. YMMV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susano Posted June 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2005 Re: Character: Dr. Moreau Only 13 for his INT? I'd make it 18, easy. YMMV. Why a 13? Because while very smart and possessing advanced skills in surgery, Moreau doesn't come across as a "quick" thinker, per the HERO rules on INT. I almost gave him a 10. See Mr. Cavor for another 13 INT "super"-scientist. On the other hand, The Time Traveller has an 18 INT because he does seem to grasp things quickly, think fast on his feet, and deduce new plans of action in a short period of time. (Hm... I have the Invisible Man a 23 INT... that might be a bit too much, although he is also a very brilliant and quick thinker.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it has been years since I last re-read the book, but as I remember it, Dr. Moreau was quick witted---it was part of the reason he had trouble with authority was being so much smarter and quicker than most. I think Dr. Moreau's eventual problems with the beast-men was his inablity to admit they were getting out of his control, which seems more of a Psych Lim than a merely moderately intelligent INT. Still, it's only a matter of interpretation. Thank you for doing this work, and sharing it with us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes, he was pretty blind to the problems with his beast men. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlHazred Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 Re: Character: Dr. Moreau Because he knows English, fluent Latin should only cost 1 point. This brings his total cost to 113. Nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susano Posted June 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 Re: Character: Dr. Moreau Because he knows English, fluent Latin should only cost 1 point. This brings his total cost to 113. Only if you the language familiarity chart. Which is optional, IIRC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
