Mr. Negative Posted May 28, 2003 Report Share Posted May 28, 2003 This has probably been posted before, but I couldn't locate it with a Forum search, so: More for my own edification than for game use, how DO you write up Wolverine's regeneration? Most specifically, I'm looking for the X-Men "movie regeneration" rather than that from the comic books. Let me lay out what I perceived as it's defining characteristics, so that anyone with a good idea might be able to model it. Logan regenerates rapidly, but not immediately, from his wounds. The bullet to the head takes some time to heal. Logan recovers from every individual injury quite rapidly. It doesn't appear that multiple "minor" injuries are as threatening as a single major injury. He loses consciousness in the wreck, in the Sabertooth fight, when impaling himself to escape, and when shot in the head, but the many, many cuts inflicted by Deathstrike seem to heal very rapidly (during the course of the combat), and any injuries caused by the soldier's shooting were gone by the time the combat was over. This is the most difficult part for me to simulate, as HERO normally represents BODY healing as recovering points of total BODY lost, rather than healing every single BODY injury. Logan is susceptible to stunning (and seems to recover stun slower than Body). He remains unconscious for quite some time following his first fight with Sabertooth, and his "brush" with Rogue. However, he does recover much more quickly from normal attacks than others. Lady Deathstrike's claws and the soldier's bullets pain him, but don't seem to inconvenience him severely. He recovers from toxins quite rapidly. The paralysis darts used on the others don't seem to work. This might simply be bought as immunity to "this, that, and the other", but I'm unsure if his resistance is that quick, or if he should recover attributes from Drain Attribute attacks. He doesn't seem to tire easily. He seems to wake up from unconsciousness and have plenty of energy (e.g. END). He grabs Jean immediately upon awakening, and then strides down the halls of the mansion. He certainly doesn't appear winded (although little of this uses END). Healing (BODY & Stun) doesn't seem to work too well, as there appears to be no upper limit of body damage that Logan can heal (as all of his injuries heal until they are gone). From the movie it is unclear if he would actually recover from death, but as Lady Deathstrike has apparently similar abilites, and was apparently killed, it would appear that he does not. In addition, Healing, even if always on, is apportioned out between injuries, rather than healing every single injury simultaneously (it would appear, for example, that Logan heals from 6 3 point wounds faster than 1 18 Body wound, but just as fast as from 1 3 BODY wound). Note that his cigar burn takes at least as much time to heal as the presumably more lethal attacks of Deathstrike. Regeneration doesn't seem to work, as it also applies to total BODY lost, rather than per wound, plus, getting it up to heal Logan rapidly would require an ENORMOUS amount of regeneration, as he can evidently heal from what would otherwise be mortal blows in a matter of seconds. Any solution that seems to reflect Logan's abilities seems ridiculously high-powered, but Logan's regeneration doesn't, on the surface, seem too powerful. He can be hurt, easily (like with a cigar), he can be rendered unconscious (with a single bullet, no less), he can be knocked unconscious for a substantial amount of time (at least the travel time from the site of the Sabertooth ambush to Westchester), and can evidently be killed by sufficently deadly attacks (like molten adamantium, so possibly even by burning or caustic agents). Can you think of a way to represent this without a total boatload of points? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pattern Ghost Posted May 28, 2003 Report Share Posted May 28, 2003 Give him less CON, more REC. That'd make him easier to Stun and let him pop up after getting KO'd pretty fast. For the resistance to toxins, buy LS. For the minor cuts healing at combat speed, a low amount of resistant defenses defined as "instant healing." For bigger regen, some regular old vanilla regen.

Killer Shrike Posted May 28, 2003 Report Share Posted May 28, 2003 You are forgetting SFX. There are number of schticks that can be explained away as "Regeneration". For the annoyance scratches, thats just a SFX of Damage Resistance; he regens the damage so fast its like he never took it. 6 PD 6 ED Hardened sounds good; wont stop a bullet, but will prevent the 'death by 1000 cuts' of Lady Deathstrike. As for the bullet to the head, thats just a classic example of a high STUN multiple going off. Little BODY got through, but the STUN was too much and knocked him out. Same with the car crash; he got knocked into "GMs discretion land" by the STUN. For the Quick Recovery, give Wolvie a REC equal to his STUN and END, or very close. Even a REC of say 30 would bring him to his feet ready to rumble fast once he was allowed to take a Recovery by the GM. An impractically high REC could be an interesting facet for a regenerator. Vs the sleeping darts, twofold; give him both LS vs All toxins and All Poisons with the Extra Time (Extra Segment) and Requires CON Roll limitations. Also, give him Power Defence to make him resistant to Drain based poisons/drugs. As for his actual Regeneration, he could probably get by with 5 Body/TURN. Combined with Damage Resistances and maybe even Damage Reduction that should be plenty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Saint Posted May 28, 2003 Report Share Posted May 28, 2003 Just give him Damage Reduction and Regeneration.Damage Reduction simulates his Fast Healing Abilities and Resistances to Toxins/Tranquilizers.Defenses are not that high and no resistant Defenses.Con-Value is about 20,that's sufficient.Body is high.He needs it,to take larger amounts of Killing Damage and represents his Adamantium Skeleton.By that way,he is hard to kill,but it still possible tu stun him or even knock him out.

Killer Shrike Posted May 28, 2003 Report Share Posted May 28, 2003 Originally posted by PowerMavin Is it me or do you always find a way to squeeze in mental and power defense, Life support, and regeneration? All the X-Men have had Mental Defense training; even in MSHRPG they had an equivalent. Wolvie has also resisted many mental effects over the years, and mentalists usually have difficulty dealing with him. Wolvie has resisted many effects that are best expressed as affecting PowD in HEROs. He does have resistance to toxins & poisons and does age slower. He certainly has regeneration. While its good to know whats going on in the peanut gallery, Is it me or have I never seen you post characters, at all? Thanx for your helpful and insightful comments!

Killer Shrike Posted May 28, 2003 Report Share Posted May 28, 2003 Originally posted by PowerMavin Is it me or do you always find a way to squeeze in mental and power defense, Life support, and regeneration? But to answer the question, yeah, if I can justify it in the slightest Ill give a character any one of those abilities and the whole lot if possible. They are by far 4 of the best powers in the game. I like well rounded characters that can be counted on to not spend a month in a hospital between sessions. So sue me. Which isnt to say that even 1/3 of the characters I design have any of those powers overall. Though it may be prevalant in my recent characters. Used to be you could heal yourself through other means, but now only Healing heals a character, and only Regen does it all the way. Since its now the only game in town for the effect, its going to get used more often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnflang Posted May 28, 2003 Report Share Posted May 28, 2003 When I have wanted a character with wolverines regeneration. I have normally bought it as aid (healing, 0end, always on, persistent) and regeneration. What ends up happening is the small wounds get healed up on my phase and the bigger wounds take a while using regen. The combination of the number of dice and regen determine how much like wolverine I heal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But a very good job regardless Ill have to get it tonite; Im at work now. I ran him highball rather than have fanboys argue incessantly about how he did XYZ in Issue 257 or the time he pulled off ABC in issue 320. File down to fit its also a very fast pass; I just sat down and did it without any planning or tweeking. Got up to near a 1000 and just rounded him off with a few points here and there for a nice even number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
levi Posted May 28, 2003 Report Share Posted May 28, 2003 I have a brick (named Brawl) who constantly, unconsciously absorbs kinetic energy to replenish himself. He has 1d6 of AID to any Characteristic below normal (+2) Always On (-1/4) O END, Persistent (+1) Inherent (+1/4). This serves to protect him from everythng from STUN & BODY damage to Drains and Transfers. He's not the strongest or most resilient brick in the campaign, but the Aid combined with average brick PD/ED, Damage Reduction, Life Support and a bit of Power Defense ensures that he almost always gets up and has even earned a term in our game group of the "Brawl Scale of Toughness (Brawl being a 10)". He does however have a Vulnerability to attacks on his Nervous System that provides the GM with a way to bring him down when it is necessary. I would hope that these Wolvie characters have Vuln/Susc that play his heightened senses against him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killer Shrike Posted May 28, 2003 Report Share Posted May 28, 2003 The only problem with that Levi is that AID no longer heals characters. Only HEALING heals. The points from AID fade away, even if you are below your starting values. The same holds true for TRANSFER and ABSORBTION. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only Heal will restore lost characteristics and Heal is limited by a cap. Its a bummer, and why so many characters end up with a little Regen these days. Its the only way to get back any amount of lost BODY short of REC per month, and it doesnt take an action to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest white peregrine Posted May 29, 2003 Report Share Posted May 29, 2003 I've been fiddling around with a "regen" character myself lately and while not "wolverine" it works for me. overall, very low defences, 16/16 with a CV of 7. as I would rather not be taken out of every combat in one hit I gave 'em a 30 Con. The "regeneration" of the character consists of 4d6 Healing(regeneration BGB) and a 30 Recovery. I also gave him 30 Body to help show the amount of damage it takes to put him down for the count...although with his regen it should be to long before he gets back up...

Killer Shrike Posted May 30, 2003 Report Share Posted May 30, 2003 Originally posted by Morningstar70 You could take a few XP required off by going into Wolvie's psyche, like his loyalty, his fear of getting emotionally attached, his self loathing, and his irritability. Too touchy-feely for me. I like Wolvy best when he's just a roughneck beatdown artist. I didnt like the mangled menstruating heart version some writers took the character in.
