Enforcer84 Posted August 5, 2003 Report Share Posted August 5, 2003 Okay break out your vampire and shield slinging patriots. taking a cue from the Dr. Steele post by Arthur; if you had 350 points and could turn yourself into a superhero, what would you be? Sadly, I myself havn't been able to shake the immortal with the powers of superman phase but I am sure there would not be cookie cutter characters printed here. Anyone up for it? Mine is on the way.

Guest WhammeWhamme Posted August 5, 2003 Report Share Posted August 5, 2003 Hmmm. Everything at 0 END. Full life support except food. Duplicates. Regeneration. INT and PRE at at least 30. Invisibility too. Hmm. Don't see how I can tie this all together.... I'm MEGAMEMAN! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spideyguy Posted August 5, 2003 Report Share Posted August 5, 2003 Definitely I'd love to be a flying brick. And not even a heavy duty, planet-moving, Superman kind of brick. Something like: 50 STR 25 PD/ED (Resistant, of course, for that annoying small arms fire) 25" Flight x16 NCM (who wouldn't love that!!??) Scads of telescopic vision Of course, the endless uses and abuses of X-Ray vision spring immediately to mind... "Oh, Miss Spears....."

bwdemon Posted August 5, 2003 Report Share Posted August 5, 2003 I'm not sure how the rest of character would end up, but I know I'd begin with 15 points in "Money"... heh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrosshairCollie Posted August 5, 2003 Report Share Posted August 5, 2003 A kitsune. VPP for magic (in-combat changing) and disguising my really cool lookin' real form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Arrow Posted August 5, 2003 Report Share Posted August 5, 2003 Interesting (in so many ways) idea. Can I clarify something? Is this turning yourself into a superhero in a "standard" superhero campaign where you would actually fight crime etc. or is it like being in the real world, just you are transformed into a superhero? My answer would be radically different between those two options. If I were going to fight crime, probably a brick with high defences, but a 5 SPD, maybe with Nightvision. I'd probably go for exotic defences and most of the Life Support options. No immediately obvious powers (more like Superman than the Hulk). Probably have some Money. Wouldn't bother with a "Brick Tricks" multipower - I'd go with a Power Skill (at least until I'd earned some experience). Now if it's the real world. Shape Shift - any other humanoid. High INT, PRE and COM. Probably highish characteristics across the board. Lots of dice of Luck, 15 points of wealth (good call bwdemon). I'd also go with n-ray vision, Spideyguy. Hmm, maybe Stretching (if you get where I'm going with this one); you wouldn't need, er, many inches in real life. Inches of Stretching, I mean. Hey, there must be some reason Sue stays married to Reed Richards, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranxerox Posted August 5, 2003 Report Share Posted August 5, 2003 I've given this one some thought Healing bought to 0 END Transform Sick person to Healthy Person Transform Dirt to Food Transform Air to Water Flight with Large Non-Combat Multiplier High Resistent Defences I know that this must seem revoltingly goody two shoes. If the big GM in the sky offered me 350 pts and I spent them another way, I would be consumed by guilt every time I looked at a newspaper or watched the news.

Patriot Posted August 5, 2003 Report Share Posted August 5, 2003 ATM Id be happy with 5 points of wealth and a 1d6 cumulative major transformation to fix minor brain damage (not my own...lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermit Posted August 5, 2003 Report Share Posted August 5, 2003 I'll second Crimson Arrow's request for a clarification. If we're talking about me as a crime fighter, I'd want different powers than myself as just having 'power! Mwhhahahaha POWER!' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killer Shrike Posted August 5, 2003 Report Share Posted August 5, 2003 I like me just the way I am thanx {gives self big hug} But of course Id take 15 pts of wealth. Everything is better with money.....or so Ive heard. I wouldnt actually know of course, it might actually totally suck, but Im willing to take my chances!

The Maxx Posted August 5, 2003 Report Share Posted August 5, 2003 Dittos here on the 15pts for wealth, though I'd also be quite happy with the 10 or 5 pt versions as for the rest.... something along the lines of Total Lifesupport Usable against others planetwide, selective and utterly invisible tag on +10 INT and some Regenerative ability as well with similar advantages as above, and I think that'd about cover it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enforcer84 Posted August 5, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2003 Okay, Clarifcation. Perhaps we were starting a new campaign. We are the first wave of Superbeings since the "Golden Age" of the 1950's. Crime fighting? Yes, if that's your calling. But lets make it even more interesting. Earth has gotten "stranger" there are places to explore (cities in mountains, lost undersea continents, dimensional apuratures) we are, for lack of a better word - Explorers. Perhaps a less campy version of Villians & Vigilantes... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zakueins Posted August 5, 2003 Report Share Posted August 5, 2003 350 points? Hm.... Well, I'd definitely bump all my primary stats up to Normal Human Maximum, buy my SPD to 5, Healing as Regeneration (0 END, Persistant), full Life Support, a lot of skills, 15 point Wealth (filthy rich...) some followers, and the rest goes into a kick-ass battlesuit. Because, at 350 pts, you've got disads and to get the proper amount of points, you need at least one Hunted.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hermit Posted August 6, 2003 Report Share Posted August 6, 2003 Sounds like Enforcer had some connection problems at the worst possible moment. SOOOo... back on topic, I find myself embarrasingly admiting I wouldn't mind being a superman knockoff. Let's see, strong, flies, and nigh invulnerable.. tres cool. And BETTER than 20/20 vision (man I hate being near sighted) and then some! I was a Marvel Zombie, so discovering this about myself is somewhat embarrasing.

Crusader108 Posted August 6, 2003 Report Share Posted August 6, 2003 With the 350 pt wish I would become a hybrid of Superman and Captain America. In these modern times, the world (and the US especially) needs a symbol, an icon to both inspire and motivate us. Do I think that emotionally and psychologically I would make such an icon....I have my doubts but since the wish is mine, so also is the responsibility.

Korvar Posted August 6, 2003 Report Share Posted August 6, 2003 Some stat increases, some martial arts, lots of knowledges/skills, and a "swiss army knife" VPP, which allows me to imitate pretty much any power, even at a low level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
