Jayde Tiger Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 I may have missed a thread like this before, but has anyone come up with a good way to represent a young hero in a mundane wheelchair? I have a hero starting in a Teen Champions campaign that is likely to begin in a normal wheelchair, before eventually developing a "super" one. Is it a vehicle? A limitation on his/her 6" normal movement? Any opinions would be greatly appreciated/ JT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Anomaly Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 Re: Wheelchair hero I don't recall seeing an official write-up (though that doesn't mean one doesn't exist) so I'd do the following: 1) Sell back his 6" Running to, say, 1" or so (he can still crawl using his arms, right?) 2) Buy +3" or +4" Running, OAF Wheelchair (-1) only on relatively flat or smooth surfaces (-1/2) 3) Buy either another couple of inches of Running or a x2 Non-Combat Multiple with the above limitations and add Downhill Only (-1/2). If you don't want overly-complicated, just stick to #1 & 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloodstone Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 Re: Wheelchair hero My wheel chair bound super is also a former college football star, though he lost his legs in a car accident. In any event, I sold back all 6 inches of running, and then bought back 2 inches of running with gestures; Requires gestures throught (-1) so that he could stil get about by crawling or walking on his hands. Then I bought another +5" of running with OIF, Only on Appropriate Terrain and Turn Mode for the chair. I don't bother with the improved downhill movement, since that's written right into the rules (5ER p364). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Overdrive" is a wheelchair bound hero in the adventure "Bad Medicine For Dr. Drugs." http://surbrook.devermore.net/adaptionsrpg/DRover.html One question on that adapation... why the buyback on swimming? Many wheelchair-bound people swim actively as their upper body can still be uised for movement and the lower body still has sufficient bouyancy that they are not dead weight(so to speak).

I think the original had -2" of Swimming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
