Looking for a new cape. Can I get one here?

[Meliora]

Hi all,

 

I have been playing M&M for a bit of time, and yes, enjoyed it. But my group and I are busting heads a little bit (Read on. This post is not about M&M ).

 

I am an old time DM, and I prefer it take a very long time (5-10 years), if ever (which happens 99% of the time), before players “Max out”, or as in M&M reach lvl. 20. The problem with M&M is, that the path to lvl. 20 are only 150p (if you start as suggest on lvl. 10). So I have been rewarding the players 1-2 points per. session. Because of that, here after about a year’s play, I already have two players at lvl. 19th and another at lvl. 20 (plus the poor guy that always seem to eat the dust, which is “only lvl. 17th).

 

Way to fast in my opinion. The funny part is, that my players think there is too far between actually character developments when it comes to stats.

 

So I have been window-shopping for another Super game. My shopping list are simple; A superhero game with a long path from the “Just out of the radioactive shower” hero to the “Let’s relocate a planet or two, I think it would look better” hero. Plus, a game that often offer/rewards development for the players in form of stats.

 

I have been looking at Hero/Champion for some time now and I’m starting to warm up.

 

But I want to be certain. My bookshelf have occurred quite a few books that do nothing else than collecting dust, and the wife is complaining, so I better ask a few questions.

 

1) Let’s use some heroes we all should know at least a bit about. Can you give an estimate (no need for full write-ups) on how many character points each would have (if you don’t mind and know, add which version you are thinking about)?

 

Superman

Robin

Spiderman

Blade (the daywalker)

Galactus (just for when he is starving)

 

2) Couldn’t find this anyway (= probably didn’t look the right places), but how is character points rewarded in Champion? Can you give some examples for different goals and rewards if succeeded?

 

3) Disadvantages. I understand that the players can take those in the start to gain more character points(if I’m wrong, please correct me), but how does this work later?

Can a player pick more of those later?

Can a DM “reward” disadvantages to the players through gaming and if, do they come with character points, E.G. gains a new enemy and becomes hunted, would the get the hunted disadvantage plus the character points?

What happens if one of the disadvantages is no longer in effect, E.G. one of the players’ girlfriends become an ex? Do they lose that disadvantage and if, how about the character points gain fromit.

 

4) Death rate. How often does a Hero bite the dust and get reward with a last rite ceremony in your game? Are you using house rules for death or is it taken straight out of the book?

 

I assume any answer to those questions is discussable, so if more members want to answer, I would truly appreciate it.

 

Thank you lad, lass or mutant if you prefer for reading this far. Hoping for a few answers, and perhaps I will be part of what looks like a great community.

 

Respectfully

Re: Looking for a new cape. Can I get one here?

 

Oka in answer to the questions.

 

1:

Superman: actually there is a character in the Viper handbook that pretty much is a super man clone and come in at about 1000 points.

 

Robin: A current incarnation Tim Drake could be done in the 275-325 point range but you'll probably be missing some minor stuff

 

Spidey: I can make a starting level spiderman for 350 points (350 being the current starting total for heroes).

 

2:

Character points are rewarded at the end of session or arc depending on the GM. For sessions I (as GM) generally reward 1 for playing 1 for good RP and 1-3 for major plot complications overcome.

 

3:

In general disadvantages are bought at creation and will up to the limit increase the number of points you have. You should not that the point levels I've given above would be the characters plus disadvantages and xp/villan bonus (villan bonuses are basically xp for villans so they conform to the build rules for standard supers) Starting level Spidey is actually 200 points plus 150 in disads.

You can get disads later but they are generally not worth any more points (although some GMs will give you new disads to cover "startup" costs of forming a group and building a base) If you lose a disad through game play you have 2 choices 1: buy it off with XP or 2: convert it into annother disad.

 

4:

In general it's pretty hard to kill someone in Champions unless you work for it, combatants are far more likely to get knocked out than killed if they are up in the 350 point range. Yes people can die but it's rather rare.

As far as rules go, I use the standard rules and they are relativly leiniant about actual death.

Re: Looking for a new cape. Can I get one here?

 

"The Great Net Book of Real Heroes" has a bunch of write-ups of famous superheroes. I personally dislike these builds, but they are more or less representative of the character point costs. You'll note that they tend to be all over the place.

 

... and here are Susano's builds, which are quite good: link.

[Meliora]

Re: Looking for a new cape. Can I get one here?

 

Thank you for all the information.

 

It really seem that this game could offer my group with a nice pace (thinking about starting the characters with a 75/75 and reward them with a point or two per. session).

 

I do wonder about the estimate PP for Superman,

 

Mikesama say around 1000pp,

 

on the Susano's page the Justice League Superman is around 2000pp. Seem like a big jump.

 

So it wouldn't be outrageous to say that one of the biggest heroes in my custom world would lay around 2000pp (instead of 1000)? And if the players were ever to reach that much points (won't happen since I'm so mean, but still), I would still be able to make challenging games, of course of the more cosmic type (just checking, since it would add 500-1000 more sessions, before anyone would "max out" = never = cool for me ,or I could even start rewarding the players a bit more without being afraid of hitting the wall to quick again)

[mikesama]

Re: Looking for a new cape. Can I get one here?

 

75/75 puts you at action movie star ability, super powers cost points. 150/100 or 200/150 give you a good superhero and at the 200/150 level it gives you plenty of ready made villans you caan use courtesy of Hero games.

 

As far as the # of points superman is part of it is how he is statted up and what the person doing the writing figures the power level of the character is. The superman clone in the viper book I might be wrong about. Susanno's page has 4 different vesions of superman going from 250 to 1700+ points.

 

One other thing to check out it a cap on Defenses and active points for attack powers, you can build abuses even with 250 points if you have some munchkiny ways.

[Meliora]

Re: Looking for a new cape. Can I get one here?

 

Ok, 75/75 is too low. Just playing with numbers in my head, trying to figure out how much time based on rewards and max. "level".

 

I got a pretty nice picture about that from your replies.

 

Appreciate it.

 

*Now know what will be on the menu of discussion after the next gaming session*

[薔薇語]

Re: Looking for a new cape. Can I get one here?

 

For just your standard comic book heroes game I would go with 200base and 150disads, as well. And I prefer to give out points for completing a story arch since it a. keeps players from changing to much before one episode is over, and b, gives you a chance to really evaluate them and for them to really earn the points.

 

Also Active point caps. I do recomend for starting the system. It wont keep all things equal but it helps you and the players get a better feel for where their 'powers/abilities' lay, compared to eachother. Also if you cap them out at 75(standard for 350 characters) you can be fairly sure they wont be able to blow though the ready made villians.

 

La Rose,

 

Also, Don't worry about how costly some heroes are. Becuase there are a million differant ways to make something, and in the end you are the only one who is going to be looking at the NPC's sheet. I always prefer to have them do what I want, and worry about building it later(no sense in adding in additional math when I don't have to)

Re: Looking for a new cape. Can I get one here?

 

Ok' date=' 75/75 is too low. Just playing with numbers in my head, trying to figure out how much time based on rewards and max. "level".[/quote']Keep in mind that HERO has no levels per se, and so improvement is incremental. Characters pick up new abilities and/or improve existing ones with XP used to directly purchase them just as if they were Character Points. This means that on average 3 XP can get a character an entirely new Skill and 5 or 10 points can often grant new Powers. It's a much more flexible approach than Levels in my opinion. The nicest thing about is that since every character is unique, a 250 point character may well be capable of things that even a 400 point character is not. This makes it much easier to build teams or ad hoc adventures with characters at different "levels" of power.

 

In our Champions campaign, going since 1993, the highest XP character has almost 80 XP and the newest has less than 10, yet they have no problems coexisting on the same team. Both are useful; both can do things the other can't.

[BoloOfEarth]

Re: Looking for a new cape. Can I get one here?

 

To touch on a few other points to do with Character Points:

 

(1) Never played M&M, so I don't know how skills / contacts / bases / vehicles work there. In Champions, they all cost character points, and you could encourage your players to put points into any/all of these. This could help slow down their progression to cosmic power levels.

 

(2) Generally speaking, characters don't get points for Disadvantages earned during game play (like if they piss off a big baddie one adventure and get Hunted by him/her for a while), though you can do so if you wish. Or you could swap out an old Disadvantage for a new one. (You're the GM - you have the power.) If the players wish, they can also use Experience Points earned to buy off old Disadvantages (like that pesky ex-girlfriend).

 

(3) Experience Points are awarded however often you like (per game session, per adventure arc, etc). They are typically awarded both for general participation and for roleplaying, and you (as GM) set how many they get, so 1-2 per session is fine, or you could go 3-5 for a several-night story arc. I've also awarded specific skills or contacts based upon things the players did in game play. (For instance, they save the police chief's daughter, so they get Favor - Police Chief.)

 

As to death, in 17 years of running Champions I've killed 2.5 player characters - one by player choice, one by accident, and the 0.5 was in a situation that could easily have resulted in death but I turned into "everybody thinks she's dead but she survived with temporary amnesia and is a temporary villain." Normally, super characters don't die unless (a) they leave a defensive "hole" such as low Resistant defenses, or ( do something stupid and/or selflessly heroic, like pulling a burning gas tanker toward you and away from innocents using wind-based telekinesis (see 0.5 death mentioned above).

That is very good idea. So I could reward the players, let's say 4 point a session, but say that half of them is only useable for contacts, bases and vehicles. This way the players would be satisfied, feeling some advancement after every gaming and I would DM a slow paced game when it comes to actual power gain.

 

Excellent.

[TaxiMan]

Re: Looking for a new cape. Can I get one here?

 

Since there aren't levels in Hero, how about setting power level limits for your players? That's done by setting Active Point limits - for example:

 

Start of game: 40 AP limit to powers

10 sessions later, 45 AP limit

15 after that, 50 AP limit

20 after that, 55 AP limit

Every 20 sessions, bump it another 5 AP.

 

That way the players have a lot more XP to spend than they can add to their max power, encouraging spending on Skills, Contacts, Vehicles and Bases, and buying down Disadvantages. You still need to require their purchases (a) don't break the game ( fit in their character concept © don't overlap another player's "thing".

 

It'll take forever to reach 75 AP, which is a very reasonable non-planet-moving power level. My group couldn't do this since we'd die of old age long before, but it sounds like your guys play almost daily. Lucky devil.

[Lethosos]

Re: Looking for a new cape. Can I get one here?

 

I'd also consider looking at Teen Champions--you can pull it back even further to high school, if you want. There's a whole host of other issues if you want to play it this way; there's already several Teen heroes written up already in the book. (And it's a fine book, too.)

[ghost-angel]

Re: Looking for a new cape. Can I get one here?

 

2- Experience is given out however you see appropriate. There are some guidelines in the book about 1 per session + 1 for the story arc + blah for this and that. Award as you see fit.

 

Since there are no levels, only points, you have total conrol over the power of your players. If you set a campaign to use only 60 Active Points as maximum for the Powers then even at 1000 points they are simply more diverse, but not world busting.

 

3 - Disadvantages gained after the start of the game generally give you 0 points.

 

4 - Death in general is hard to achieve. But if you want something dead, it dies.

What that means is not well-covered by the rules . . . but let's wait for Meliora to get into HERO before pointing at GM's option territory, shall we?

Background/History: Chad Carson sat on the top of the skeleton of the new hi-rise to join the Chicago sky line. His lunch box sat open next to him and he munched on a cold slice of pizza. His mind drifted back as he ate as to how much this build has changed his life. Two months ago Chad had been working on, what was at that time, the highest floor of the superstucture when a freak storm occured, he watched in horror as a tornado headed his way and he was unable to do anything but pray. The tornado had picked up a chemical truck that had been transpoting a newly created radioactive isotope.The truck slammed into the steel girders of the building, shattering the containment and bathing both the superstructure and Chad with the isotope. Chad's body began to glow as the isotope was absorbed into his skin it also seemed to absorb the very wind itself. Chad slowly rose into the air and as he opened his eyes he discovered that the tornado was gone and he was flying. Over the next few weeks he learned to use and control his power. Dubbing himself Tornado he soon beacme one of the more popular supers in the Windy city.
