I warned everyone about this.

[Burrito Boy]

I warned everyone about this.

Huh? Warned us about what?

[Greywind]

She's quoting Wil Wheaton

[Hyper-Man]

Is it a play on words of 7 19 being read as 7/9 (7 of 9)?

How would it change the points to change the natives' attitude to something more rational? To not so much hate the Jungle Queen as to be uncertain what to make of her. They would watch her uneasily, but not ever encounter is going to be deadly combat. Perhaps she occasionally needs things she would have to trade with them for. Or perhaps she has so little experience dealing with people that her interactions with them are going to be extremely awkward regardless (communication is difficult, she can't quite comprehend what they might be asking her for, etc.)

Not all natives she deals with are hostile.  She is the enemy of some who are headhunters of cannibals for example.

[Cassandra]

I changed the Jungle Lord/Jungle Queen a little to increase the over all defenses to average 15 rPD 15 rED.  They have LS: Eats Once Per Week and Sleep Once Per Week to represent their being in peek physical condition, and added some Swimming.

 

I was stuck for a long time trying to create a "Build your own superhero" system, but I think from now on I'll concentrate on building archetypes based on well know superheroes and villains.

The Powered Armor write up is based on my Energy Projector/Metamorph/Powered Armor Characteristics Template.  It provides higher then average INT, and enough REC and END to operate the Powered Armor.  Variable Advantage Flight is an invention of mine.  I noticed under the rules that if you choose only four possible Advantages that you can get a -1/4 Disadvantage under the 5th Edition Rules.  I've choses the Invisible [Hearing] (Stealth Systems), Megascale [1km] (Super-Sonic Flight), 1/2 END (Flight Systems), and Use Underwater (Sealed Armor).  As always I've provided both Male and Female characteristics.

This version of Spider-Man is a low level brick with higher then average DEX.  The Bugging and Systems Operation are his Spider Trackers and his ability to hone in on them using his Spider Sense.  The Force Field is Spider-Man using his Web Shooters and his Spider Sense (Danger Sense) To form protective barriers.
