Call for Replacements

[Corven_Ren]

Hey Herophiles. My Hero Central campaign Justice Squadron has recently lost two players do to personal issues. When the first one left we ran one down for a while but now that we have lost two I need replacements. Here are the campaign guidelines.

 

This thread is the official call for players. I am thinking of a roster of 5-7 characters.

 

Here is another link to the timeline and also the basic campaign background.

 

http://www.herogames.com/forums/show...17&postcount=1

 

Campaign Background....For years the Justice Squadron protected the world from superhuman and alien threats...Dr. Doom, Kill Ratio, Dr. Destroyer, the Skrulls. But these major threats eventually began to fade away. Dr. Doom made peace with the world and became one of the world's most beloved rulers. Dr. Destroyer was finally captured and is now in prison. Kill Ratio was last seen flying into space after a intense battle with the Hulk. And no alien has dared attack Earth. So the in 2008 the Squadron decided to disband, and while some minor threats occured, smaller groups of heroes, such as Vigilant & The Forces of Nature were able to take care of these. Now 20 years later a new Dr. Destoyer has emerged, Kill Ratio has returned and there are rumors of an invasion by an unknown alien speices. The Squadron is needed again. You are the child of one of the heroes of old.

 

Points 450+150 disads. Can be the child of any combination of DC/Marvel hero (heroes) Or even one of my custom heroes mentioned in the time line. If you want to go that route pm me and I will provide a character sheet so you could base powers of of that. I will post a Justice Squadron package later

 

House of M, Civil War did not happen. Inferno, X-Tinction Agenda (minus Cable) and Rise of the Midnight Sons story lines did. Certain villains also do not exist (Apocolypse, Mr. Sinister & Darksied for example) Also there is no mythtlogical pantheons.

You are aware the active point limit is 75? You are above it so you probably won't be allowed in. However I'm sure the GM has already informed you of this.

[Marcus]

Re: Call for Replacements

 

By my first glance, hes only 'over active points' due to reduced endurance cost on powers.

 

Now, Im not sure what approach the GM in question takes on things like that, but in my experience, saying that (for example) 4d6 RKA is acceptable but 4d6 RKA 0END is not just changes how characters are built... suddenly people dont take reduced END advantages, they instead by END reserves, giant REC, or (the eternal favourite!) a big ole attack multipower with alot of different attacks, with charges on each slot.

 

Basic result: Foci, Guns, Battlesuits=Good, Innate Powers=Bad (because certain SFX fit game efficiency break-points better)

 

Sorry for the derail.

Sorry for the derail.

My 2 cents as a mostly full time GM: In our campaign we use strict AP caps, including End Reduction. 0 END powers may not seem more powerful than other powers, but the results are there. The character can take half-phase moves, push str, movement, ect. all combat without worrying about END. Reduced END is worth the points and it should count against the AP cap due to its other effects.

 

As an aside, END Reserves cost most powers to take a 1/4 advantage in 5ER. Even a 37 REC (the campaign max) doesn't provide unlimited END. As far as Charges in a MP go, its an effective build, but at least the slots all cost more points.

[CoreBrute]

Re: Call for Replacements

 

Thank you. someone is on my side. If I was aware that the GM would have let the AP limit be broken due to Reduced endurance, you can bet I would be far more broken for the campaign.

Actually I've been busy and hadn't glanced at the char yet. But yes tha active point limit is 75 points to start. Also Beast I would prefer a more detailed back story please.

I find most players divide powers between using the reserve and using regular END, and don't take the advantage. Even if they do take the advantage, +1/4 impacts AP less than +1/2.

It's true that a +1/4 advantage will affect the AP cap less, but the overall points are somewhat made up in the Reserve Cost. Strict AP caps are definately not for every group, but they sure make potentially off balancing builds alot easier to spot (hmm...why does the player have exactly 16 charges on every slot of his MP?). Sorry for the tangent all.

 

As an aside, if I had the time to play I would have submitted the great, great, grandson of Cyrus Gold. After researching his family tree, he finds out that his great, great, grandfather is none other than the infamous Solomon Grundy. His powers were bestowed up him by the Parliament of Trees after he layed to rest soul of his tortured ancestor by bringing the great, great, grandson of Grundy's murderer to justice (he also was a murderer). He is now the second hulking brute to bear the name Solomon Grundy except he uses his vast strength to fight evil and avenge his family's name. His powers would be similar to the original except he can transform into a normal human form (and possibly be able to Duplicate himself if there is enough nearby plant matter).

Re: Call for Replacements

 

I should likely go out to Hero Central and look but you mentioned the 75pt cap. What are the rest of the caps/guidelines? I actually had just finished building an archer with 200/150 (350 total) for the heck of it with a 75 pt multipower. I could actually do a lot with another 100 pts. Somehow, though, I don't think a 14 find weakness combined with 12 vs hit locations and 6 vs range with a 4d6 killing would endear the character to the GM.

I'm not the GM, but one of the players in this campaign. You actually have another 250 pts to play with. I think that those skill levels would make you competitive with other characters and villains. Don't want to speak for our GM though.

 

You should go and check out the other characters in the game for comparison.

OCV/DCV Cap is 12. I could see this with a speedster or an extremely well written Weapons master. I do not use hit locations. I have no problem with a 4d6 ka as long as it a rarely used attack. As alwyn suggested go to the HeroCentral sight and look at the characters there.

 

Also one note to anyone else interested the team does not have a pure brick

[Short Shot]

Re: Call for Replacements

 

VERY rough draft here. Part of the problem is that I never followed anything seriously in DC or Marvel except a few titles, and even that stopped in the early 90s.

 

Obviously, subject to the GM's approval. One comment concerning the character is that most of his abilities really should be OIHID but I couldn't think of any valid thing that would prevent him from changing. I'll still take the hit if he's walking around in his alter ego.

One of the US scientists, Dr. Andrew Glover, found Nate and suggested they put Nate through the same process that created both Captain Atom and Major Force, stating that he believed the time shift had been compensated for. The process is successful, as is the rescue.

PERSONALITY

Nate is a scientist with abilities both in the theoretical world and in practical world. He wishes to work to improve the human condition, and follow in his father's footsteps

QUOTE

"Don't call me Captain Atom. My father held that name. He earned the rank of Captain. So far, I haven't earned any name. If you to call me by a name other than the one I was born with, you can call me Quantum".

Notes: The field of optics usually describes the behavior of visible, infrared, and ultraviolet light; however because light is an electromagnetic wave, similar phenomena occur in X-rays, microwaves, radio waves, and other forms of electromagnetic radiation and analogous phenomena occur with charged particle beams. Optics can largely be regarded as a sub-field of electromagnetism. Some optical phenomena depend on the quantum nature of light relating some areas of optics to quantum mechanics. In practice, the vast majority of optical phenomena can be accounted for using the electromagnetic description of light, as described by Maxwell's Equations.

Re: Call for Replacements

 

Ok Submissions I have recieved so far.

 

Dr. Strange II- Son of Dr. Strange & Clea.

Silk Detective- artifically created being made from the DNA of Forge & Magik

Quantum- Son of Captain Atom.

 

 

I will keep submissions open for a little longer. I like what I am seeing so far, but one thing the team honestly needs is a brick.

[Short Shot]

Re: Call for Replacements

 

Well, if you think we need a brick...

 

I'm not stuck on the being the son of Cpt Atom, although I think I've built what could be a fun character. However, I've tweaked him somewhat to make him tougher. I've actually been trying to keep the cheese down.

 

Changes include upping his strength and Con, and giving him an Absorb option to make him even stronger and tougher. In addition, his Damage Reduction has been raised both for PD and ED to 75% resistant.

 

I'm willing to take suggestions on construction here. Keep in mind 1) I'm still trying to get a feel for the boundaries, 2) I've never purposely built a brick before and 3) trying to stay with the concept without going over the top in cheese.

 

I'd be happy to take a shot at building a son of Colossus.

How can that be? It takes no time at all on the Boards to be blasted with the fact that STR is hideously overpowered and underpriced.

 

Congrats, Corven Ren - you must have the only pool of players, existing and prospective, in the entire world that includes no one trying to take advantage of blindingly underpriced constructs!

 

Or am I spending too much time on the 6e Boards?

Re: Call for Replacements

 

Well, if you think we need a brick...

I'm not stuck on the being the son of Cpt Atom, ...

 

I have been working on making a brick to submit during last night. I wasn't planing on posting anything till I was done, but I thought I should say something now since people are thinking about changing there plans.

 

It would be the child of Luke Cage and Jessica Jones.

 

Nevertheless, if you would prefer to make the brick, I'll whip up something else to submit.

Background/History: Rena is a mutant late bloomer(she is 28 yrs old)

she also 1 of Dr Destroyer's genetic experiments using gravity manipulating elements from the DNA of Binary and the Blob

this was done during a pre-natal test by a dr that Destroyer had on his payroll

when no powers appeared during puberty,Destroyer thought the experiment failed but kept a watch on Rena till she was 25

with still no results Dr Destroyer gave up on Rena

Her powers manifested 2 yrs ago she has spent most of here time learning how to use them and is only now getting back to writing horror stories/novels

she is a first generation born american on her father's side of the family

Rena's father was a Soviet Sub captian who defected with his sub(a boomer)and most of the officers(3 yrs before she was born)

when Rena's powers manifested her father used his contacts with the US goverment to get some help and training for her for her

Rena got sent to Primus be trained

Rena has helped out Primus but perfers to be a writer

that was until Dr Destroyer detected the gentic markers he placed in his work

 

Personality/Motivation: thrill seeker

 

Quote: gennerally Wraith does not speak much

 

Powers/Tactics: 60 str :brick plain and simple

can use

flight :flys upright(ala Magneto)and walks while flying

increasing gravity field those in it are being made heavier by making them more attuned to the planet's gravity

increased stats: time space is being stretched around here, the universe slowed greatly in relation to her

N-ray perception:mass based and very accurate but cannot read unless it is carved or raised and cannot percieve colors

Mega-scale teleportation she is using gravity to warp 2 points in time space thing would be bad should she go under 1 km(think leaving a crease in time/space

Drain(gravitic crush)she is creating an intense gravitc field to crush her target down to as small as a singularity)think going past crush depth in a sub)

invisibility just extending the field from skin tight to include her clothing and refining it as to be perfect camoflage

knock back resistance using gravity to hold her in place

desolid warping space around her and a friend

 

Campaign Use: Front line brick

some stealth

transport

this character is coming from goverment training but has no wish to be a governemt agent(would prefer to just write horror novels or a movie)

but fate has handed her other things to her hand

word got out less than a yr ago about her father that he survived

those who had a grudge paid him back by killing him and his wife they are after the daughter but did not know that she was super powered much to their surprise

 

Appearance: clothing a waffenrok made for a woman 15/16 century battle dress for a landskennect

tall(thigh high)boots

elbow length gloves

great cloak with hood

all clothing looks to be worn but no body is visible

Or am I spending too much time on the 6e Boards?

 

 

That or the two characters we lost were bricks...

 

It's not like we are completely deprived of high strength characters. Valeria is a stretching brick (60 STR, 30 PD/ED with 50% Dam reduction). Spider-Lad is a pseudo brick since he has the resistance of a brick but the SPD, and DCV of a martial artist (plus martial arts).

Wildcard is a pseduo brick at 40 STR, 30sish def but is centered more around Gambit's powers than Rogue's (or really Ms Marvel's since he doesn't appear to have inherited Rogue's absorbing powers)

Victor is almost a brick with 40 STR and 30s defence but his low (for the group's power level) Stun and concentration on his EB's makes less of a brick..

 

Really the only character currently on the roster who isn't brick-like is Moon Knight. But all of us pseudo bricks are focused more on our non-brick aspects than our brick aspects. Which is why we are thinking a pure brick might be a good idea. But really, as a player in the game, I'm more interested in good quality characters than what power set is brought to the table, and whether the concept and personality fits in well with the team. Also a player who is good at role playing, will be active and won't leave would be another selling point

 

We are after all the Justice Squadron, so we really should be looking for the best of the best, or at the very least characters who are on the cusp of becoming the elite. So i'm sure Victor is looking for experienced, proven heroes who will mesh well with the current team, preferably bringing something to the table that we don't have (which really, considering our wide range of skills and powers is going to be hard).
