Kal'El Wayne Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 Seriously, has anyone statted up any real crimefighters yet? Obviously, I don't mean the people that do charity work while dressed in a costume. I mean people like Captain Jackson, the Chicago crimefighter, who first started patrolling the streets to stop crime because the police were understaffed. He's been sanctioned by the Chief Of Police now, and the Chief has ordered his police force not to try and identify Captain Jackson, or anyone of a small number of other Chicagi based superheroes. Or the Justice Society of Justice, now serving twice as much justice as 'those other guys', based in Indiana, like Mr Silent. Anyone statted them up yet?

OddHat Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 Re: Real Crimefighters Like The Wall Creeper? Depends both on how accurate you want to be and how tongue in cheek (if at all). I'd probably stat them up as 25 point normals with a psych limit on the lines of "Idealistic" or "Attention Seeker", +5 PRE based on the costumes (which can confuse a criminal enough to make him hesitate, especially if he's drunk or high), maybe with 1-2d6 of Luck to explain why most of them haven't yet been shot, badly beaten, or arrested.

Kal'El Wayne Posted July 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 Re: Real Crimefighters Like The Wall Creeper? Cool. That's useful. I wanted it serious, but not necessarily 100% accurate to real life. Sort of like how the first Die Hard film was the first film to show the good guy getting torn up and bloody, but he still managed to killed the first five or so terrorists in relatively realistic ways.

Sort of like how the first Die Hard film was the first film to show the good guy getting torn up and bloody, but he still managed to killed the first five or so terrorists in relatively realistic ways. Well, if you want to do it Die Hard style, you can actually have a great Dark Champions level campaign with these guys. Build them all on 100 + 50, give them each idealized versions of their real world training (martial arts, interaction skills, etc), and then spend any remaining points on Cinematic Super Skills. Jason Walters "You've Got to Have Character" book and Digital Hero stuff is a great place to look for this. There are a fair number of real world characters who could have made surprisingly effective adventurers in a campaign; YGtHC can give you an interesting starting point as you build "Reals".
