Re: About PRIMUS

 

Very good article on cutting-edge military equipment in the planning and development stage right now. Highly appropriate to equip super-agents with.

 

I could see super-agents using that tech as early as the 90s, maybe even the 80s.

Use the "spoiler" tags.

 

A tag starts with a square bracket: [

Then, you put in the code you want: spoiler

Then, you close out the tag with the opposing square bracket: ]

 

Next, you put in your text, whatever it is you want hidden.

Then, you put in the closing tag, which starts with a square bracket and a backslash: [/

Then the same code: spoiler

Then the closing square bracket: ]

Re: About PRIMUS

 

So, speculating off of previous:

 

"Advanced agents" - 200 points

Bronze Avengers - 250-350 points

Silver Avengers - 350-450 points

Golden Avenger - 450+ points

 

And a comment - unless you choose to significantly alter VIPER and DEMON from their published states, both organizations utilize supers. This, of course, sets up some fun PRIMUS-SAT team-ups, as I would assume that the two organizations have a standard coordination plan in place for such.

 

This is very close to what I used in my 'Legacy' campaign. I put a Bronze Agent in Power Armor for my version of an 'Iron Avenger'. I had a scaled probability so that while 1-in-20 people qualified for Assault/"Copper" Agent upgrading, only about 1-in-200 qualified for Bronze, and so on.

 

In this game, PRIMUS also had a secret op called the Legacy Project to equip and train Copper and Bronze agents to take the role of local superheroes in various areas, usually based on a well-respected super who was dead or no longer active. Examples were the new Black Owl, Mister X, and Scarlet Archer. Their secret PRIMUS backing helped make up for any power deficiencies (although they were usually comparable to the originals) and gave PRIMUS an inside person on several superteams. For the greater good, of course.

Re: About PRIMUS

 

Yeah, I had forgotten about that article.

 

I'd probably handle the artificial muscle as +5 STR no END no Figureds, on the assumption that it's not just a leg assist, but a full-body system. Maybe with a "no damage added" limitation, or maybe not.

 

And check the point totals on the suit itself. 127 points, not including the extra leaping or substituting +5 STR as above, or the weapons systems. That's a nice chunk of points.

 

In the old Destroyers book, squad leaders were described as having armor that gave them +5 Str.
