As a shapeshifter, she can pick any look she wants. Her standard form is up to the player. She is very flamboyant and a little frivolous. She has very little patience for the doom-and-gloom types. She's into this hero stuff as much for the thrill as anything. The Stats - The first ten rows of statistics are the base statistics and mean just about what they look like. The range is more or less from ten to twenty, with ten indicating the level of a healthy, normal human and twenty indicating the limit of human capacity. Ruby is average strong for a hero, pretty nimble, moderately bright and not very self- controlled. Obviously, she's a knockout. The second column are the figured statistics. The rest of column are the figured statistics. If you don't know the system, just don't worry about them. I'll tell you if you need them Disadvantages - HEROworks on a point system. You pay for skills and powers with points, some of which you get by taking disads. Ruby has a habit of playing tricks on people, and a strong moral problem with homicide. The group that performed the experiment that gave her her powers is after her. Sometimes when she is not paying attention, her form will 'drift' a little bit over time. Powers - Ruby can change her shape at will. She can mimic just about any other person as well as change her size. She is called Butterfly after her flying form. She has to get small enough to be light enough to fly, but she then "grows" wings and can fly about. She also can shape her fingertips into claws and toughen her skin for self-defense. Skills - these are what they sound like. Rolls work the same way as the skill rolls in the "Stats" section. Maneuvers - These happen in combat. If you don't already know the system, don't worry about it. Origin/Background - Ruby might have been a changeling. She was awkward and creative in a family of don't-rock-the-boaters. In the small, conservative town she grew up in, nothing she did seemed to quite fit, and having a beautiful, popular, sister didn't help. Ruby became convinced that if only she were really pretty, people would like her. When the promised "blossoming" of growing-up never happened, Ruby decided that if anything was going to happen, she was going to do it herself. Against her better judgment, she answered an ad in the city paper, miles away. "Do want to change yourself?" it asked. She did. The ad was a front for a group of scientists wanting to create a new race of pliable servants. Except Ruby didn't go along with the plan. When she realized what the researchers were really doing, she went in to destroy the lab. She managed to blow up the machines - while she was still inside. By some miracle, she survived, and came out a changed, or at least changeable woman. Ruby decided that she was never going home. She could make a fresh start just where she was. Ruby lives alone, but keeps an eye on some of the other escapees from the lab. She works as a model, when she works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's also precocious enough that most of the other heros take him for a somewhat immature adult. And a lot of heros are pretty immature, so it's not really all that noticeable. The Stats - The first ten rows of statistics are the base statistics and mean just about what they look like. The range is more or less from ten to twenty, with ten indicating the level of a healthy, normal human and twenty indicating the limit of human capacity. For Noah, this translates as unimpressive strength (for a hero), fair dexterity/agility, and pretty good looks. He's very bright and very strong willed. The second column are the figured statistics. If you don't know the system, just don't worry about them. I'll tell you if you need them Stats - Anything ending in CV is a "combat value". I'll ask you for these numbers when you get into a fight. The speed and dexterity tell me who goes first in a fight, and who moves in what phase (a round has twelve phases, the phases you move in are listed at the bottom of this section). The rolls are just what they sound like. If one of those skills comes into play, I may ask you to roll 3d6 (you want to roll under this number to make a successful skill roll). Disadvantages - HEROworks on a point system. You pay for skills and powers with points, some of which you get by taking disads, Noah is, underneath it all, still a kid, and a little shy, although he picks up some bluster in his hero form. He has a little trouble balancing his secret id, with a curfew from his parents, and heroic friends who set their own schedules. Powers - Noah, or Dreamer at this point, rarely adventures in person. He separates an astral/energy self from his body and physically stays at home. This is how nobody's caught on to the fact that he's a kid. His body as Noah is not strong enough to channel the energy powers, although he hopes that will change as he ages. He can turn his energy form intangible, or even a little more dense. He can throw energy bolts, but only a few per excursion as they are, in a way, parts of himself. Skills - Noah can use a computer, basically. He also speaks accented, but understandable French. He's pretty good with puzzles and mechanical things. Maneuvers - These happen in combat. If you don't already know the system, don't worry about it. Origin/Background - Noah started having unusually vivid dreams when he was twelve. Being a fairly bright child, he soon realized that the stuff he was dreaming really happened. He'd already developed a reputation as the Dreamer, so he stuck with it. He joined up with his current hero team last year and is having a ball. Noah always wanted to be a hero, and now he is! Cool! Noah lives with his parents (surprise, surprise) and goes to school like a normal 14-year old. He's geeky enough to have no real social life, so he spends a lot of his afternoons and weekends "doing homework" in his room (really out being a hero). His parents have no clue. It's the family that's always the last to know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You didn't happen to craft a HERO Designer export template for this, did you.... Kidding, kdding, though maybe we could persuade the master of such things, RPMiller... I can't rep you yet, though, I ran out for the day. I used one of the publication rtf formats and then cropped down like a madwoman. I suppose you could start off by removing the cost column and not showing active points. It's kind of a judgement call power-by-power which advantages/limitations you choose to leave out. A lot of these characters have NCM, too, which I took out because you only need to know that when spending XP. I should also separate out all of the that's the same on every sheet (explaining what the Notes section does, for example), leaving blanks for the character specific stuff.

zornwil Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 Re: A Blast From The Past - old 4th ed pregens I'm very strongly considering this format for my con games, I am fairly sure I'll pass the PCs through this or something very very similar, and this gives me enough time before DDC to do so. I'm not good at all at formatting, myself. In fact, I'm going to search for a collaborator to help me redesign the sheet for the game I'm working on, I hate it but my limited design skills when it comes to that sort of thing just aren't up to it on my own. It's kind of weird, because I don't have any problems with creating PowerPoints for reasonably visual and non-technical presentations or with creating "dry" forms or with creating questionnaires, but when it comes to doing something with boxes and a visual "flow" I'm just crap at it. So IOW this is valuable to me and the best one I've seen to suit my tastes so far (no diss to other formats, it's just my sense of aesthetics and game interaction materials).

Grimble Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 Re: A Blast From The Past - old 4th ed pregens With no control over the change of powers, I see Facet as a sort of "Dial H for Hero" type character. Very nice. I was always a big fan of that comic in all it's incarnations. You have done a very good job on all your characters, but Facet is my favorite, so far. Thanks for sharing. I plan on using a few of your write ups in my game. Grimble Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I plan on using a few of your write ups in my game. Thanks. The only caveat with Facet is that s/he either needs to go to the most experienced player at the table (who is comfortable constructing appropriate power builds on the fly) or the least experienced player at the table (who is confortable with having me construct appropriate power builds on the fly). If I'm running this as a teaching game, I'll often describe the effect and then casually mention what power from the book it was. As always, VPPs require a little more GM attention, but I find I can handle it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimble Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 Re: A Blast From The Past - old 4th ed pregens I'd keep this character ready for either player (experienced or not). I have run many Champions games at several Cons. Inevitablely, there is someone who shows up who loves champions and has played it longer than I have (Over 13 years). Depending whether you have veterans or novices at your table, I'd decide the power changes myself. Just have a lot of cool changes ready. They will probably change often through what they don't like or want at the time. The character is cool. I see myself using it in my next Con game.

Karmakaze Posted August 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 Re: A Blast From The Past - old 4th ed pregens I've got these about all blocked in, using 6E. Yeah - 4th ed to 5th to 6th!

Karmakaze Posted August 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 Re: A Blast From The Past - old 4th ed pregens And here's the text portion. The .gif attached should be a passable version of the formatted character sheet. I'm still not 100% happy with the "How to read..." section. It's hard to find a balance between being informative and being too technical. Butterfly Description Butterfly is a shapeshifter, who can appear however she pleases. It’s up to the player what she picks as her default appearance. She is very flamboyant and a little frivolous. She has very little patience for the doom-and-gloom types. She's into this hero stuff as much for the thrill as anything. Her real name is “Ruby-Kaye Nevill”, though she rarely bothers with a civilian identity anymore. Butterfly is a lot more fun than plain old Ruby ever was. Origin/History Ruby grew up awkward and creative in a family of don't-rock-the-boaters. In the small, conservative town she grew up in, nothing she did seemed to quite fit. Ruby became convinced that if only she were really pretty, people would like her. When the promised "blossoming" of growing-up never happened, Ruby decided that if anything was going to happen, she was going to do it herself. Against her better judgment, she answered an ad in the city paper, miles away. "Do want to change yourself?" it asked. She did. The ad was a front for a group of scientists wanting to create a new race of pliable servants. When she realized what was really going on, Ruby didn't go along with the plan. She interrupted “the process” before it could wipe her personality and managed to destroy the machines from inside. By some miracle, she survived, and came out a changed, or at least changeable woman. Ruby decided that she was never going home. She could make a fresh start just where she was. Ruby lives alone, but keeps an eye on some of the other escapees from the lab. She works as a model, when she works. Character Summary / How to read the character sheet Characteristics: The first group of six characteristics are the basic stats; Butterfly is very tough, leaves a strong impression, and has very good reflexes. The characteristics ending in –CV are combat values; I’ll ask for them when they come up. SPD reflects how many times a character acts in combat; Butterfly is fairly fast. PD and ED are physical and energy defense, respectively; Butterfly has more of this with her superpowers. ENDurance represents how much energy the character has, and RECovery how fast the character recharges. BODY represents how much damage a character can take before dying, and STUN how much damage a character can take before losing consciousness. Skills: Skills are about what they sound like. For a skill challenge, you’ll roll three six-sided dice and try to roll less than the skill number. Sometimes, if a character does not have an appropriate skill, I might ask you to roll using your base characteristic; that’s why there’s a skill roll number next to the characteristics. Perks: Butterfly has some obsessive fans, who can occasionally be asked for favors via her website. Powers: Butterfly can change her shape and size. She can disguise herself, or even impersonate other people. She can harden her skin to protect herself, harden her hands in order to hit harder, and sharpen her fingers to claws. She can shrink down to about five inches high, and when she’s smaller than a foot and a half, she’s light enough to form wings and fly. Complications: Heroes always have some things that complicate their lives – Butterfly sometimes loses control of her shapeshifting if startled. She still feels the need to look after the other subjects she rescued from the lab, whose transformations were less fortunate than hers. She’s a bit of a show off, which means that some people have a hard time taking her seriously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like the Hellenback sheet because that's what things I hand-edit tend to come out looking like. It's got all the necessary 6E information on it, though. It's actually an excel sheet - I chose not to use HD because I wanted to have to refer to the book as I worked. That way I'd learn the system better.

I waffled on this one, because I was reminded of something that I've noticed every time I've updated these sheets - Chris has no business being on this superteam. Chris wants to be a pulp character built on a third this many points. I'd originally wanted something non-spandex to give variety, but I think, really, it's just not a good match. What I need to do is scrap Chris and make a couple replacements. I think I could do with a proper speedster and a proper brick. Anyway, here's the 'raw' character. Pretty sheet and text to follow.

Karmakaze Posted September 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 Re: A Blast From The Past - old 4th ed pregens Chris Craven Description / Origin / History Chris Craven is an eccentric, but reputable, private investigator, specializing in missing persons. Clairvoyant from birth, Chris learned early not to admit to paranormality, but appreciates the edge it provides in investigations. Like most telempaths, Chris is uncomfortable in crowds and dislikes being around death. Chris was born with the paranormal abilities, and is well-adjusted. The powers are something of a secret. Some people are uncomfortable around telempaths. It's only fair. Chris is uncomfortable around some people. It's not always fun to hear other people's hysteria. Chris maintains an office in the outskirts of the city and a house an hour into the 'burbs. The secretary, Liz, is shared with a two-person accounting firm in the same office building. Character Summary / How to read the character sheet Characteristics: The first group of six characteristics are the basic stats; Chris is above average at most things, and has a very strong mind. The characteristics ending in –CV are combat values; I’ll ask for them when they come up. SPD reflects how many times a character acts in combat; Chris is faster than the man on the street, but average as a hero. PD and ED are physical and energy defense, respectively; Chris is relatively vulnerable. ENDurance represents how much energy the character has, and RECovery how fast the character recharges. BODY represents how much damage a character can take before dying, and STUN how much damage a character can take before losing consciousness. Skills: Skills are about what they sound like. For a skill challenge, you’ll roll three six-sided dice and try to roll less than the skill number. Sometimes, if a character does not have an appropriate skill, I might ask you to roll using your base characteristic; that’s why there’s a skill roll number next to the characteristics. Chris also has some hand-to-hand training. Perks: Chris’s sensitivity includes a feel for impending danger. As a PI, Chris has various connections to help in investigations. Chris has a PI license and can legally carry a gun. Animals like Chris. Powers: Chris is a psychometrist, possessing the ability to read impressions left on physical objects. Chris can sense spirits, both ghosts and something about the spirits of living humans. Chris can fog peoples minds, causing them to see whatever they expect to see. Chris also has an armored trenchcoat. Complications: Heroes always have some things that complicate their lives – Chris doesn’t deal well with large groups of people. Local crime organizations are pretty unhappy with Chris. Chris is easily found by both enemies and people in need, and needs to look out for the office secretary when trouble comes to the office.

Karmakaze Posted September 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 Re: A Blast From The Past - old 4th ed pregens Daystar Background/History: DayStar has light powers. Alex Chandler can shoot bursts of concentrated light (lasers) from the hands, make light illusions and disguises, and turn invisible. Daystar is also protected by a force field of light. Alex, his/her twin sibling Sandy, and his younger sister Alys, grew up in orphanages. When the twins grew old enough to be on their own, they took different paths. Alex became a police officer, and in the off hours, a hero. Alex was recently able to locate his sister and has taken custody of her. Alys is sixteen. Alex lives in a small apartment in the city. Alex does have to live on a cop's salary and has very little margin. Daystar's identical twin, NightStar, was born with (go ahead, guess) dark powers. NightStar has, unfortunately, fallen prey to the temptation of greed, evil, and general nastiness, causing all sorts of confusion. Character Summary / How to read the character sheet Characteristics: The first group of six characteristics are the basic stats; Daystar is above average at most things. The characteristics ending in –CV are combat values; I’ll ask for them when they come up. SPD reflects how many times a character acts in combat; Daystar is faster than the man on the street, but average as a hero. PD and ED are physical and energy defense, respectively; With powers, Daystar is pretty tough. ENDurance represents how much energy the character has, and RECovery how fast the character recharges. BODY represents how much damage a character can take before dying, and STUN how much damage a character can take before losing consciousness. Skills: Skills are about what they sound like. For a skill challenge, you’ll roll three six-sided dice and try to roll less than the skill number. Sometimes, if a character does not have an appropriate skill, I might ask you to roll using your base characteristic; that’s why there’s a skill roll number next to the characteristics. Daystar also has some extra practice with light powers. Perks: Alex’s day job provides some authority and a lot of useful connections. Powers: Daystar manipulates light, with the ability to create a protective sheath, a laser beam or blinding light, as well as illusions and confusing sparks. Complications: Heroes always have some things that complicate their lives – Daystar’s family causes a lot of stress; Daystar feels the need to look after Alys, and to make up for Nightstar’s poor choices. Daystar is a straight shooter. As a police officer, Alex has obligations that can cut into hero time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
