quozaxx Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 I propose a challenge: Make a 350 pt. Hero (200 base / 150 disads) in each of the following archetype: Brick Energy Projector Gadgeteer Martial Artist Mentalist Metamorph Mystic Patriot Powered Armor Speedster Weaponmaster Try to be creative. If possible, try not to use VPPs. Also try to have a good mix of Skills, Perks, Talents, and Powers. A good use of advantages, limitations, and/or disadvantages are a plus. Background information is optional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmurie Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 Re: Archetypes Also, why should we? What's my motivation? You gonna give the person with the best character a cash prize? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vulcan Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 Re: Archetypes Working on it... It takes a while to put some of the old characters into Hero Designer (and upgrade them to 5E while I'm at it). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quozaxx Posted July 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 Re: Archetypes Quote: Also, why should we? What's my motivation? Answer: Inspiration? Creativity? Because it's challenging? For instance, it's easy to build a brick, but more difficult to build a creative brick. Quote: You gonna give the person with the best character a cash prize? Answer: No. I spent your cash prize money on gas this morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vulcan Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 Re: Archetypes Just to tide y'all over... With only two exceptions, these are al characters I've actually played in various games. The other two were 'backups' created when I thought an existing character was about to die... Brick: Outreach; Power armor guy without ranged attacks, just a really high STR and Streaching, FX based around a point singualrity built into the armor. Energy Projector: Redline; Pretty normal EP with a twist (you'll see when I post him;)). Gadgeteer: This one was hard, because I generally don't like the complicated builds this archetype seems to require. But I have this character who happens to have a lot of gear (not really gadgets, per se, but it's as close as I ever got). So I give you Chief Petty Officer Lou Crescent, USCG. Martial Artist: So many choices for this one, I've played so many. I chose Vigil less for his capabilites than for his background... Mentalist: Another category I don't play often. But Simoriah is a mentalist by strict definition, in that his powers are BOECV. Metamorph: Siberian Tiger got this spot, rather than Martial Artist, because the other candidate for the Metamorph spot got placed in the Patriot slot. He could also have gone into the Martial Artist spot, though. Mystic: The man known to the world as Dante (no relation) fights a demon for his powers - and his very soul. Patriot:The ultimate decoy, Living Targetworks for the Secret Service most of the time, taking the place of threatened politicians for public appearances. Power Armor: Almost a speedster, Harrier takes flight and blasts his foes with his Multi-Phase Particle Generators. (Or he would have, if I'd actually gotten to use him!) Speedster: Mad Dash - It's all in the shoes. (The other backup.) Weaponmaster: Mist Dragon is a secretive swordsman from the Igakure Ryu Ninja Clan. Cross swords with him at your peril!

Vulcan Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 Re: Archetypes Well. I guess I'll actually be the one to lead this off. Here are Outreach and Redline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
