phoenix240 Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 In Hero, your INT score does not indicate raw intelligence. Its memory, how perceptive you are how quickly you think. You can be a super genius like Wiley E Coyote and have a 5 INT, you're just slower and more distracted. That's the definition but it tends to get lost in the implementation unfortunately.

CaptnStrawberry Posted June 13, 2015 Report Share Posted June 13, 2015 [groan], that's a bad one! True to their rep, many of the European Enemies are cheesy and kitschy.

Christopher R Taylor Posted June 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2015 I hadn't looked too closely at the book after I got it because I was unimpressed by the characters. They were such weak stereotypes of each country like someone without much familiarity at all with Europe just made up names sort of related to things they heard about each area. But they're not bad characters, better than many I've seen. And these rebuilds are great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The book overall if to filled with stereotypes by a person who never visited the area, but beyond that, many of the characters are sound past the stereotypes thing. I loved Eclipse myself (the group with Nether). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they're not bad characters, better than many I've seen. And these rebuilds are great Agreed some of the stereotypes are pretty bad, and the original builds are mostly terrible. However, a DM featured some of them in a HERO/Champions game he ran from 2012-2014 and I enjoyed his versions so much that I borrowed the book and made my own. The ones he used were: Doppleganger, Facet, Gladiator, Hoarfrost, Huntsman of the Black Forest, The Despoiler, White Rose, and The Piper. I ended up using Cavalry, Carpathia, Bastion of Budapest, and Das Wall (renamed Die Wand) as characters in a one-shot I ran back in 2013. Glad you're enjoying the rebuilds. I love the colored art!

Enforcer84 Posted June 23, 2015 Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 Doctor Draconis! While the founders of Deathstroke were Frost and Deathsinger, it was Dr Draconis who was able to build the Dagger device and had the expertise to give them real power. Again, I had to tweak his build a bit. The gulf between 2nd and 6th editions is pretty big, but all I did was add a few science skills and define his life support more specifically. He had "full life support" as the power worked back then, but it didn't make sense for his suit to make him immortal and immune to disease, so its more limited. And of course he had a transfer which I had to jury rig with Drain/Aid. Like all early builds, there's no mention what his powers actually are, so I attributed all his attacks to his tail, since its glowy and looks impressive in the image. The team is pretty capable, but Dr Draconis can easily take on a whole hero team alone. However, outside his armor, he's just a really smart scientist. I love how the Mark Williams art really came alive with the coloring. Incidentally, Hero Designer did something here I've run into a few times, rarely: it reduces a cheap power to 0 points with a limitation, which is as far as I know and the way I've always played it a no-no. A power does not ever go below 1 point, no matter how many limitations it has on it.

Enforcer84 Posted June 23, 2015 Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 You hit the nail on the head about European Enemies. The book overall if to filled with stereotypes by a person who never visited the area, but beyond that, many of the characters are sound past the stereotypes thing. I loved Eclipse myself (the group with Nether). Agreed some of the stereotypes are pretty bad, and the original builds are mostly terrible. However, a DM featured some of them in a HERO/Champions game he ran from 2012-2014 and I enjoyed his versions so much that I borrowed the book and made my own. The ones he used were: Doppleganger, Facet, Gladiator, Hoarfrost, Huntsman of the Black Forest, The Despoiler, White Rose, and The Piper. I ended up using Cavalry, Carpathia, Bastion of Budapest, and Das Wall (renamed Die Wand) as characters in a one-shot I ran back in 2013. Glad you're enjoying the rebuilds. I love the colored art! A pretty close fit to the Source Genre though, how many Marvel and DC foreigners were stereotypes? Mentioned in Hermit's Diversity thread, Marvel's 3 Australians I recall being Boomerang, Kangaroo and Walkabout. Oh and the silent Aborigine teleporter from the X-Men. The X-Men's international team was better for it, but the Native American had frills and a tonto haircut. This isn't a defense mind you, I agree.

phoenix240 Posted June 23, 2015 Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 Stereotypes are useful in some instances. They're a quick way to establish something about a character like their nationality quickly and clearly to an audience that might not be familiar enough with the region they're from for some more subtle. Stereotypes aren't automatically offensive,IMO. It depends on presentation. Many US characters are stereotypes when get down to it. Sometimes I even think its better to make a character that while a stereotype (at least in part. There can always be more to the character) is interesting instead of a more generic character and say "They're from Otherplacia".

Christopher R Taylor Posted June 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 Yeah its not so much the use of stereotypes as the really lazy use. Its one thing to have something from, say, Mexican culture that's known, but its another to make yet another guy in a sombrero with crossed bandoliers and a huge sombrero.
