Each time you activate the power it is going to take Gestures. So' date=' Gesture for a water blast, gesture for another water blast while Force field would just be a gesture to start. Imagine it like a spell caster... each new spell... more gestures.[/quote']

 

Right, but you said: "Also, you get you power up and running THEN someone drops an entangle/hold on you... poof", which didn't seem to follow. And now I'm not sure what you DID mean by that.

Alright, last tweak for the night. I didn't spend my five XP yet, but found ways to make everything else work, I think. Wound up rethinking his costume when he started to look a little too much like a bald Prince Namor...

Re: Catalyst: A Champions campaign on Hero Central

 

Here's a tentative history, and sheet changes to match.

 

Limited Physical Sense is off the Master List of Limitations. I've changed it to Slightly Impairing because she can remove the wards, and I'd be more comfortable with it as a Side Effect of those wards rather than a Phys Lim because of that- The wards can be drained, suppressed, or dispelled, while this physical limitation doesn't go away, which strikes me as a little screwy given the concept (her wards restrict her sense of touch slightly).

 

Of course, because the basic wards themselves changed (from Armor to basic PD/ED), it might be a moot point.

 

I changed the name, since that largely seems to be the problem with the character- the concept is sound, the idea is sound, really, there's very little wrong with the sheet itself. You just don't like the name, or the joke attached , which I'll admit came into your campaign like a guy in the back row of a Philaharmonic performance shouting "FREEBIRD!"

 

I removed Linguistics entirely, and I'll admit I was using it as a catchall for all the neat obscure languages one finds in tomes of magic. Other methods would be welcome suggestions.

From a very young age, Sara Kite was shown to have an aptitude with magic. Mischevious and full of energy, sometimes, she just made certain things vanish. Cards, small coins, on one occasion a large play ball she had caught with her face. Her luck, also, was undeniable, winning against most of the other children in Snakes and Ladders and other similar games.

 

You'd think this kind of thing might make her popular, or at least, make other students somewhat wary. But surprisingly, it evaded most of the kids' attentions, until early on in second grade, when the school psychologist approached her parents about putting her in an accelerated program. They agreed, and she was whisked off to another school, still public, where she didn't know anyone, felt alone, and her intelligence and perspicacity failed to impress. Still, there were those inexplicable moments where she could make things disappear, or reappear, or deal out just the way she wanted them.

 

And then there were the special classes. These were the ones she didn't have with anyone else. Well, there was Ryan, but he was a boy, so it didn't count really. And they were taught by the same psychologist who put them in the advanced program. They learned all kinds of neat stuff- like how people moved, and how stars aligned, and how if you worked your mind just right, amazing things happened.

 

It slowly dawned on Sara over the next five years that many of her peers, even in the accelerated classes, did not have this ability. She considered it odd, but really didn't set herself apart from her peers until the day she almost decided to fly home. Their gasps of shock as she started to float a foot off the ground quickly taught her that showing off what she'd learned might not be the best thing to do.

 

Middle school came around, and with it, a stricter social strata than elementary school. Quickly ostracized because she had to occasionally leave class for no apparent reason- to see the same psychologist!- Sara finally had the nerve to ask what, precisely they were learning.

 

"Magic, of course," he responded, and subsequently revealed himself as not only Dr. Collins, psychologist, but also as The Star Mage, a man whose identity Sara still does not truly know. With that, Ryan and her educations began in earnest. The Star Mage taught many things to them over middle school, but most importantly, he taught control. Tight control. When Sara's powers started to flare immensely in freshman year of high school, that tight control saved her life- and Ryan's, as well, when his powers began to spread like wildfire.

 

With this newfound power, Ryan started to treat their classmates like playthings- an attitude Sara objcted to. Having seen Primes on TV, Ryan took a mask and a name.

 

This was not something Sara was going to let pass. But when she approached the Star Mage, all he asked was:

 

"Well, what are you going to do about it?"

 

She soon set to work researching every protection the Star Mage could find for her. After several weeks' hard work, she enacted her first true ward over the school- which prevented Ryan's pranks, albeit temporarily. The feeling of triumph, of correctness, was impossible for the young girl to ignore. She wanted to use magic. She wanted to protect people. She told the Star Mage as much.

 

"With laws being as they are, Sara Kite can't do that," The Star Mage noted, idly.

 

"Then I'll make someone who can." the next few days were set towards making a transformation. A good one! One she could be proud of using! One that would have her favorite things of all! She'd wanted red hair... and green eyes... you couldn't forget the pink, of course, and a name... Something good. She looked around, trying to find an inspiration.

 

She happened upon her cartomancy deck. Eh, she had a moment, why not ask the cards? She shuffled the deck, flipped the first card, and got a card completely unknown to her: Her, just as she had envisioned her new identity, save with a blank, white face, and floating sigils all about her. At the top, II, taking the place of the High Priestess. At the bottom? "THE WARD".

 

Of course, where Magical Girls go, monsters soon follow, and Sara Kite's life became one of daring and adventure as she foiled not only Ryan, but other arcane threats to the student body, all while learning from the inscrutable Star Master at Ryan's side. Of course, they both knew, and the uneasy truce that existed between them in the classroom only served to make the battles more intense with each passing month. They even helped each other out when they weren't at each other's throats.

 

It all came to a head senior year, when, foiling Ryan's bid to become a god of Arcana, a greater threat appeared, which nearly destroyed them both. It took all of both their respective abilities to bring this one down, and while they didn't like each other, a sort of mutual respect emerged- they may foil one another, hurt one another, but if something outside this private little war came through, they'd both face it. And whoever won first would gloat.

 

The Ward and Ryan went their separate ways to college, the Star Mage releasing them from his tutelage. They'd taught each other well, and now it was time to see how they expanded into other disciplines.

 

Sara eventually used her knowledge of magic and defenses to become something of a trained expert at cryptography, getting a degree in the subjects from Cal Tech. As arcane threats emerged, The Ward temporarily resurfaced, and Sara realized that her time in the spotlight, albeit unwanted, was probably drawing near...

 

Returning to Thebes, Sara bought an old house in the northwest corner of the Market District- specifically, the one where that old kook McCreedy used to live.

 

How was she supposed to know his familiar had gotten around with the rats in the basement...? Needless to say, she got the job, and they pay her rent and their half of the food bill, mostly with technical writing. This allows her to live quite comfortably (though she has some problems getting them to pay up on time), and the balance is made with luck... and a little bit of playing the markets when she gets special foreknowledge.

Usually I do too, but there are two things I'm considering in this case. One, Chinese mythic figures always have extravagant names, and that's the cultural background he's modeling himself after. Two, he took the name when he was considered a supervillain. Villain names are always a little more over-the-top than their heroic equivalents.

 

When DC created a Chinese superteam, the Great Ten, their names included such humble treasures as

 

'the Accomplished Perfect Physician'

'August General-In-Iron'

'Celestial Archer'

'Ghost Fox Killer'

'Immortal Man In Darkness'

'Mother of Champions'

'Seven Deadly Brothers'

 

and those guys were heroes. Imagine what their villains called themselves.

Did you intend to make your Ball Toss power Stun only? I wasn't sure if you intended for it to be a totally safe takedown power or not.

 

And Zac gave me grief about my enraged - how comfortable are you with the notion that you do have a power that could kill someone (and cheaply, maybe just a few pennies sent at terminal velocity), say someone you think is committing murder, because you lose your cool?

[Fedifensor]

Re: Catalyst: A Champions campaign on Hero Central

 

Did you intend to make your Ball Toss power Stun only? I wasn't sure if you intended for it to be a totally safe takedown power or not.

It isn't totally safe. It's possible for a windstorm to take a piece of straw and imbed it into an oak tree, so even a rubber ball is going to do BODY damage at that speed. Heck, by game mechanics, it's possible for the rubber ball to do more damage than the rock against low PD targets. I can't really rationalize the attack being STUN only. If I want to take someone down without doing much BODY, I'll reduce the dice and/or pull my punch (I don't have the Beam limitation on Ball Toss). I can also cage foes with the Force Wall from Sudden Stop, or redirect their movement with Momentum Shift, or throw them with Object Acceleration...or just punch them, if they're agents.

 

And Zac gave me grief about my enraged - how comfortable are you with the notion that you do have a power that could kill someone (and cheaply, maybe just a few pennies sent at terminal velocity), say someone you think is committing murder, because you lose your cool?

Witnessing a murder is less common than seeing a drug deal, and it's almost always clear that the person committing the crime is a bad guy. Undercover cops don't murder innocent people. The enraged is a legacy of his upbringing, due to the injuries his mother suffered and the obsession his father had for years. I expect it will eventually be bought down to an 8-, but will always be a part of the character.

 

That is also why the character has a reluctance to kill, but not a stronger restriction versus killing. He realizes that sometimes even a hero has to use lethal force...but it is his last option. If nothing else, he wants to avoid anything that would have people compare him to Terminal Velocity.

The only thing that really jumps out at me is how high his strength is. I didn't expect that. He'll be able to use his strength for a lot of things that don't relate to inertial movement at all (crushing rocks in his bare hands, for example), and it doesn't seem to follow from the rest of his profile that he'd have that sort of generic superhuman strength.

He is tougher than a normal human, able to withstand the rigors of high velocity (which is why his base PD/ED is 14 even with the FF off, and why he has a 25 CON). His strength is partially derived from a subconscious acceleration applied to himself, increasing the force he can apply to an object. He hasn't realized this ability on a conscious level...and when he does he will buy off the focus limitation on his flight.

Well, when you said Wonder Woman, the first thing I thought was brick, not martial artist (though she's really both). With that 'dragon' thing in your title, I'm expecting you to be pretty strong (30+ STR) and tough (21+ CON, higher than average BODY). As a martial artist, you should have superhuman DEX (21+) and SPD (5+). You should be able to take a few hits as well. I haven't looked at a character sheet for you, so I don't know if you're already thinking along those lines. I'll need to go look at your background to give better feedback.

[Vox]

Re: Catalyst: A Champions campaign on Hero Central

 

I think the background was unhelpfully unspecific about his abilities. At the time I was still working things out.

 

On his own, he is a generic superhuman (again, much like WW). Strong, fast, doesn't age. His physical traits lead a lot of people (himself included) to conclude he's a true Taoist Immortal. He used that to gather a following and protest against the government. After he became a fugitive (for the first time), some of his followers took it upon themselves to train him for his war against the Communist government. Once he felt ready, he went to Taiwan and tried to take over.

 

His armor is very old and grants the wearer some water-related powers. He, and others, believe that the armor was intended for him alone. I toyed with the idea of him having a few mythic weapons that people either gave him or he stole from the government during his escape from the gulag.

 

For example, the Green Dragon Crescent Blade, a relic of the Chinese people. Or the Sword of Goujian.

 

Sometimes it helps to be specific.

Character portraits are very nice.
