MisterVimes Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 This is a Mastermind Villain that I plan to use as a recurring villain in the Pulp/GAC campaign. There will be 6 players built on 275pts (225/50)Total (Superheroic). The theme is Pulp meets GAC so all equipment will be purchased with points. Damage Cap for the players is 40 AP and Defenses should be in the 2-2.5xDC range (16-20). The Crimson Emperor is the first villain they will be running into. He's part mob boss and part mystic. He's a Lovecraftian style cultist that has mastered arcane fire spells. He has an army of thugs that should be a cake walk to defeat (though they'll slowly chip away at the heroes). I'm years of out practice and second guessing myself like crazy. This will be everyone's first time playing HERO (except me) and I want it to be as close to perfect as I can manage -- so be brutal.

Steve Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 Re: The Crimson Emperor -- Build Critique Wanted I had a couple of thoughts strike me while looking at the write-up. 1) If his attacks are allowed to have a higher damage cap than players can, maybe you could also boost his defenses similarly. 2) You could give him some additional PRE that is linked to his "Wreathed In Flames" ability and is offensive only, like 10-20 points worth.

Both are great ideas. I was a little worried that he was a little over powered, but I see where you are heading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterVimes Posted August 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 Re: The Crimson Emperor -- Build Critique Wanted I boosted his PD/ED and resistant defenses and gave him a bonus to Presence (only to attack) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 Re: The Crimson Emperor -- Build Critique Wanted I was thinking he needs something like a Mind Control ability, maybe call it "Flames of Enthrallment" or the like. Maybe in addition to his small army of minions, he has a lieutenant of some kind. Maybe a brutish sort or a more refined kind, a strongman or martial artist. If he's going up against that many PC enemies, he needs someone to assist him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterVimes Posted August 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 Re: The Crimson Emperor -- Build Critique Wanted Thank you. I plan on using pictures of actors from the serials and real people they may encounter, some possibly as mug shots and Peter Lorre and Rondo Hatton were the first ones cast.

Steve Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 Re: The Crimson Emperor -- Build Critique Wanted It looks odd that the henchman is built on 275 base points, but his boss is built on 225 base points. He has no resistant defenses, which could be quickly fatal. I also keep thinking he should have a more devastating punch than 4.5d6 damage. His regular defenses seem inhumanly high.

I have no idea what to do with this guy. The boss should have been 275 (my error). I need a thug that can go toe-to toe with the heroes for while before having to bail out. I'll give him another pass when I get the chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 Re: The Crimson Emperor -- Build Critique Wanted Klaus looks better. I might suggest 25% or maybe even 50% Damage Reduction, so he can't be easily one-shotted. If you also gave him the Dark Champions version of a "Vanishing Teleport" where he is able to appear and disappear when he isn't being looked at, it might give him a creepier feel.

Major Tom 2009 Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 Re: The Crimson Emperor -- Build Critique Wanted Here's the pic of the (possible) henchwench for the Crimson Emperor -- the Crimson Empress: [ATTACH=CONFIG]44172[/ATTACH] There's two ways that this character could be done, the first of which is the "Daddy's Little Villain" option that Steve mentioned. At some point in the past before becoming the Crimson Emperor, the future villain met an exceptionally beautiful woman of Middle Eastern or South American descent, and had a child -- in this case, a daughter -- with her. Following his transformation into the Crimson Emperor, he set about the task of grooming her to be his second-in-command and eventual successor. As a result, she has powers of her own which are identical to those wielded by her father, only not as powerful (at least, not yet). As for where her loyalties lie, she could either be slavishly loyal to her father, or she could be a conniving backstabber who's only waiting for the right moment to supplant Dear Ol' Dad (they're not called femme fatales for nothing). The second option is that she's a sorceress herself, and entirely unrelated to the Crimson Emperor. Attracted to him because of his greater power, she's hoping to learn everything she can from him before she attempts to dispose of him and take his place as the head of his organization/cult. Of course, if this option is used, the heroes could find themselves facing "Mother's Little Villain" several years down the road ()... Major Tom 2009 Minus 92 and counting...

I often forget Damage Reduction because in the early days of Champions we were warned that it could be a game breaker, but this is entirely appropriate. The Vanishing teleport is another great addition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
