nHammer Posted June 15, 2003 Report Share Posted June 15, 2003 In a standard Champions campaign (350pts) a characters takes a DNPC that is Slightly Less powerful. What would you say is slightly less powerful in terms of overall points of DNPC, and the points in powers/skills? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted June 15, 2003 Report Share Posted June 15, 2003 I'd figure slightly less powerful would be in the 250 point range. If the 350 point hero's got 60-70 active point powers, the SLP DNPC might have them in the 45-50 point range. It would be more complicated if the DNPC isn't built as a typical hero with the usual batch of attacks, defenses, and movement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Hiemforth Posted June 15, 2003 Report Share Posted June 15, 2003 For DNPCs in a Standard Superheroic game, I'd say that anyone under 150 points counts as a Normal, 150-250 would be Slightly Less Powerful, 250-450 would be As Powerful, and 450+ would be More Powerful. As always, you have to apply common sense too. If a DNPC is 200 points, but the 200 points are all spent on Languages, the DNPC should still count as a Normal (albeit probably one with Useful Non-Combat Skills.)

TheEmerged Posted June 16, 2003 Report Share Posted June 16, 2003 General rule of thumb? "Slightly Less Powerful" means one step up (fewer points) on the "Character Type Guideline" table on FREd pg 15. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monolith Posted June 16, 2003 Report Share Posted June 16, 2003 Considering that VIPER agents are 178 points I would have to assume that Slightly Less Powerful would probably be in the 250-300 point range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nHammer Posted June 16, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2003 A guy in our gaming group thru out the question the other night. At the time I told him around 300pts, making sure the active points in the DNPC's powers didn't exceed any of his powers(generally speaking). I also told him don't come to rely on the DNPC to much. After all it's a DNPC, not a Follower. I just wanted to get the opinions of some of you fine (and not so fine) folks. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
