Ternaugh Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 Re: Is there a running thread for minor corrections on old books? Perhaps, it would be easier to just assume everyone in the books "Detects as a Mutant", and then just note the ones who don't. From the last several posts, it would certainly save time.

Mathew Posted March 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 Re: Is there a running thread for minor corrections on old books? No need to be snarky. Most of the characters in the books are not mutants. I'm just converting a lot of them right now as I'm also trying to assemble character sheets to 4th edition mutant characters, so those are getting more attention than the rest.

Mathew Posted March 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 Re: Is there a running thread for minor corrections on old books? You know what I learned recently by doing these writeups? I was working on making Heromaker files for Champions of the North, and the point cost fo PS skills kept being wrong in many otherwise perfect writeups. Then I realized that the author was using the Everyman skill rules for PS in the BBB, which says that every character gets one free 8- PS of choice, and if they increase that PS they get that one point for free, which is why many characters in the Champions of the North book had lower than normal cost PS skills. Since this is an official rule (even though not a lot of people use it), I think I'll have to recalculate all the 4th editon writeups I have that have PS skills to include this bonus. There are a lot of characters in other 4th edition books with PS's that paid a point too much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathew Posted March 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 Re: Is there a running thread for minor corrections on old books? Classic Enemies p21, Le Sone's point total should be 405 as written, not 401. Since he should get a bonus point in his PS, his PS: Diving should only cost 1 point, not 2. This brings his character point total to 404. p27, Big John should probably have a free Everyman PS: Engineer of 8 or less, since he was once once in his biography. p37, Sunburst's Powers and Skills come to 254 points, not 284 points. This makes his total character cost 501, not 531. His PS: Business 13- skill costing 4 points, should probably be INT based PS: Businessman, and with the Everyman bonus it costs 2 points. This brings the total cost of the character down to 499. p44, Lightning's Teleportation slot has 69 active points, not 62. You can increase the cost of the Reserve to 69 points, not 62, and the slot to 7, not 6. Also, since he gets a free point in a PS for his Everyman skill, his PS:Accountant skills should cost 2 points, not 3. This brings is total character cost to 207, not 200. Allies p9, Major Star's PS: Soldier should cost 1 point, not 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathew Posted April 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 Re: Is there a running thread for minor corrections on old books? Champions of the North p46, Skylark's Invisiblity slot for his multipower should cost 1 point, not 2. If you want to keep it at 2 you could increase the duration.

Champions of the North p66, Gazelle's bolos should cost 14 points, not 10. She should have DF "Detects as a mutant." p96, Falcon should have DF "Detects as a mutant." p118, Lord Dire's Universal Translater of 15- should cost 28 points, not 20.

Mathew Posted April 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 Re: Is there a running thread for minor corrections on old books? Classic Enemies p48, Avar-7's powers come to 172 points, not 169 points. p49, Beamline's Desolidification Multipower slot should cost 2 points, not 3. p53, Black Mamba's Villain Bonus should be 51 points, not 61 points. p54, Blowtorch should probably only have the gasoline limitation on his REC, not the END, so that makes the END Reserve cost 22 points, not 20 points. Since Burnout in High Tech Enemies have a Rivalry with Blowtorch, Blowtorch should probably have a Rivalry with him. p92, Utility's +8 ED and +8 PD should cost 12 points if purchased seperately, not the 13 points bought together. His Villian Bonus is too large as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathew Posted April 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 Re: Is there a running thread for minor corrections on old books? Classic Enemies p62, Firewing's PS Gladiator should cost 2 points, not 3 because of his Everyman PS bonus. The END cost of his Force Field power should be 0, not 5. To save 30 points his Flight and Force Field could be in an EC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathew Posted April 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 Re: Is there a running thread for minor corrections on old books? VIPER, p51, The Fat Lady rifle is only 25 points. To make it worth 30, like the other rifles of its class, you could change it to 2 clips of 6 charges. The Stitcher costs 33 points, not 30, to make it 30 points like other weapons of its class you might want to make it 1 clip. p72, VIPER Elite Air-Cavalry's stats are worth 72 points, not 74. Powers are worth 137 points, not 136. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His Flash should cost 14 points, not 15. His Teleportation should cost 75 points, not 55. His Disguise skill should cost 13 points, not 3 (or alternately for 3 points it should only be an 11- skill.)

Her Aikido Martial Arts should only cost 15 points, not 16. Her Invisibility should only cost 2 END to use, not 3. Her Science Skill of Psychology should be 14-, not 12-.

Mathew Posted June 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 Re: Is there a running thread for minor corrections on old books? 402 - Mind Games p17, Mind Slayer's Multipower really only needs a 78 point reserve, not 80 points, as she only has two Ultra powers and the highest one is only 78 points. She could put her telekinetic Flight into her Elemental Control. She should have DF "Detects as a mutant" for 10 points. p24, Torment's first Ego Attack should cost 40 points, not 45. p26, Omega's description says he has a variety of grenades, including blinding grenades, but the writeup itself just lists 2 Psiphon grenades, nothing else. Meanwhile all the other members of PSI have flash defense equipment, I'd guess to make his teammates immune to his ability to blind opponments.
