Dr. MID-Nite Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 If I recall correctly one of the villains in WOT7H has the automation advantage, 75% Dam Red (phys and ener) and about 12-14 defences, resistant. But as weaknesses he has a suscept to fire, and vuln to sonics and find weakness. If any villain was designed to make certain pc's feel weak and other (Helios, Ace, Huntsman, and doc Sonic) feel uber, it was this guy! PS main attack a 2d6 RKA with 16 pts piercing (and old add on that reduced defences by one point per point of pierce, so minus 16 ED) You're right about the damage reduction, but that critter wasn't built as an automaton.

Christopher R Taylor Posted February 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 Quasar, team captain and originator of the Protectors. An alien who was once slave to the powerful Firewing, he discovered freedom on earth and fought against his former master with locals and has become quite a favorite figure in the bay area of California. His multipower has "not in darkness" in the module, which was given a -1/4, but given that its dark half the time on earth, in any room without a light on, and any time someone uses a darkness power - plus Quasar has no light-producing powers - that limitation seemed low to me. Again, his multipower had half END on all the powers, but since after 3rd edition endurance costs were halved, I dropped that. His multipower for flight had "OAF wings" because they were detachable. No, actually, that was a common build back then to represent restrainable until someone pointed out that it was a bit silly and poorly built. Someone can stop you from flying but can't take your wings away or even use them to fly with themselves. He also had a gliding slot in the multipower that was significantly faster than his normal flight, since it was cheaper, but that doesn't work any more (the active cost is the same as flight now) so I repurposed that into long distance fast flight out of combat of roughly 190 mph. Also I sped up his FTL because it would take ages to get from any alien planet to earth for colonizing at 1 light year per year. Overall, he's quite expensive, and powerful.

Christopher R Taylor Posted February 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 Renegade, a team brick. He's pretty simple and straight forward a character, although the build has 100 endurance, and he only has basic abilities that use any END (strength and movement) so I'm not sure what on earth they did it for. He's a superhero in the tradition of his dad, Captain Thunder who died passing on his powers to Renegade. Framed for murder, the Protectors took him in and gave him a new identity. His sheet doesn't list it but all the other members had flash defense in their contacts, so I added it to him as well.

Christopher R Taylor Posted February 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 And finally, Silverfist. Permanently trapped in a suit of alien design, he went from boxing champ to freak who can't stand people mocking him. This is one of my favorite character concept designs: the melee based energy projector. Not really a martial artist (although he has boxing), but a damage guy who fights hand-to-hand. He's built with 14- armor so when I did the coloring I wasn't 100% clear on if the armor covered him totally or just on his chest, head, hands, and feet. Silverfist is my final Protectors build, and I'll either start doing Ninja Hero (if the copy I ordered shows up tomorrow) or maybe Kingdom of Chamipions. Tons of characters in that bad boy.

Jazzidemus Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 How about the Seven Horsemen, I forgot about them until I started reading Protect and Serve. It was a product my crew never really used. Thanks to you Mr Taylor and the others you have dusted off old treasures I caught up with the other GM and we've started cobbling our old game together from memory, the funny thing was we were avid Blue bookers, but after 20 years of moving and what-nots the BB's didn't survive....

Christopher R Taylor Posted February 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 The problem with writing up the Guardians is that there never was any official write up of the team. The guy that played Rose was on Facebook and he talked about hooking me up with George MacDonald (the GM for that campaign) for info and stats, but nothing ever came of it. A few of them are written up in this thread, but too many we just have no real info about. They were given character sheets in the Champions comic book, but that was just the one writer's idea perhaps based on memory. I don't actually own Seven Horsemen so someone else would have to do those rebuilds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadman Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 I don't know whether it was "official" or not but their stats are in the Champions limited series comic book.

Your right the more i think about it, I think my original GM used the comic book stuff, I always thought they were the Champions and when the comic stuff hit they changed the name, but sooo much stuff sooo long ago lol.

Christopher R Taylor Posted February 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 Its Ninja Hero time! This is the first Ninja Hero book put out, 4th edition with Aaron Allston writing. First on the block is Ba Kien, who gave me fits. Unfortunately, he had stats that were Hero Form Only... but only showed the full stats, so I had to pull out what they were without turning into Ba Kien However, he has almost exactly normal human stats, as it turned out. This is a master super villain, with minions, a base, and so on. He even has dragons. *edited: added dragons as followers Ba Kien Chacteristics Val Alt Char Cost 10 40 STR 0 10 28 DEX 0 10 23 CON 0 10 10 BOD 0 18 18 INT 8 10 23 EGO 0 10 30 PRE 0 2 15 PD 0 2 15 ED 0 3 6 SPD 10 4 13 REC 0 20 50 END 0 20 42 STUN 0 OCV: 9 DCV: 9 OMCV: 8 DOMCV: 8 12m RUN 0 4m SWIM 0 4m LEAP 0 Characteristics Cost: 108 Cost Power 3 Instant Change: Cosmetic Transform 1d6, Trigger (Activating the Trigger requires a Zero Phase Action, Trigger resets automatically, immediately after it activates; +3/4) (5 Active Points); Limited Target Clothes worn by character (-1/2) 72 Flight 60m, Reduced Endurance (0 END; +1/2) (90 Active Points); Only In Alternate Identity (-1/4) 60 Force Field: Resistant Protection (20 PD/20 ED), Hardened (+1/4) (75 Active Points); Only In Alternate Identity (-1/4) 12 Iron Will: Mental Defense (20 points total) (Base MD) (15 Active Points); Only In Alternate Identity (-1/4) 71 Create Super Boxer: Major Transform 6d6 (Target into Super Boxer), Area Of Effect (500m Radius; +2), Selective (+1/4) (195 Active Points); 6 Charges (-3/4), Concentration (0 DCV; -1/2), Only targets of Chinese ancestry ([slightly Limited]; -1/4), Only targets with 10 or less EGO (-1/4) 17 Long Step: Teleportation 20m, MegaScale Range (1m = 1 km; +1), Usable Nearby (+1) (60 Active Points); 2 Charges (-1 1/2), Extra Time (Full Phase, -1/2), Gestures (-1/4), Incantations (-1/4) 10 Teleportation: Floating Fixed Location (2 Locations) 154 Ba Kien Form: (Total: 194 Active Cost, 154 Real Cost) +30 STR (30 Active Points); Only In Alternate Identity (-1/4) (Real Cost: 24) +18 DEX (36 Active Points); Only In Alternate Identity (-1/4) (Real Cost: 29) +13 CON (13 Active Points); Only In Alternate Identity (-1/4) (Real Cost: 10) +13 EGO (13 Active Points); Only In Alternate Identity (-1/4) (Real Cost: 10) +20 PRE (20 Active Points); Only In Alternate Identity (-1/4) (Real Cost: 16) +13 PD (13 Active Points); Only In Alternate Identity (-1/4) (Real Cost: 10) +13 ED (13 Active Points); Only In Alternate Identity (-1/4) (Real Cost: 10) +3 SPD (30 Active Points); Only In Alternate Identity (-1/4) (Real Cost: 24) +9 REC (9 Active Points); Only In Alternate Identity (-1/4) (Real Cost: 7) +30 END (6 Active Points); Only In Alternate Identity (-1/4) (Real Cost: 5) +22 STUN (11 Active Points); Only In Alternate Identity (-1/4) (Real Cost: 9) 23 Kwan Dao: Multipower, 47-point reserve, (47 Active Points); all slots OAF (-1) 1f 1) Chain: Stretching 3m, Persistent (+1/4), Reduced Endurance (0 END; +1/2) (5 Active Points); OAF (-1) 2f 2) Haft: Hand-To-Hand Attack +8d6 (40 Active Points); OAF (-1), Hand-To-Hand Attack (-1/4) 1f 3) Blade: Killing Attack - Hand-To-Hand 1 1/2d6 (4d6+1 w/STR) (25 Active Points); OAF (-1) Powers Cost: 426 Cost Kung Fu Maneuver 4 Block: 1/2 Phase, +2 OCV, +2 DCV, Block, Abort 4 Dodge: 1/2 Phase, -- OCV, +5 DCV, Dodge, Affects All Attacks, Abort 4 Escape: 1/2 Phase, +0 OCV, +0 DCV, 55 STR vs. Grabs 5 Kick: 1/2 Phase, -2 OCV, +1 DCV, 12d6 Strike 4 Punch: 1/2 Phase, +0 OCV, +2 DCV, 10d6 Strike 1 Weapon Element: Empty Hand, Pole Arms Martial Arts Cost: 22 Cost Skill 5 Acrobatics 16- 3 Breakfall 15- 40 +5 with HTH Combat 5 KS: Archaeology 14- 5 KS: History 14- 2 KS: Kung Fu 11- 3 Linguist 2 1) Language: Ancient Chinese (completely fluent) (3 Active Points) 2 2) Language: Cantonese (completely fluent) (3 Active Points) 2 3) Language: English (Mandarin native) (completely fluent) (3 Active Points) 2 4) Language: Hakka (completely fluent) (3 Active Points) 5 WF: Common Martial Arts Melee Weapons, Common Melee Weapons, Three-Section Staff Skills Cost: 76 Cost Perks 107 Followers: 487 point dragons (x4) Total Character Cost: 739 Pts.

Christopher R Taylor Posted February 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 Ba Kien's main muscle, his Bronze Dragons. He was defeated long ago and trapped in a bronze vessel that was decorated with dragons. When he finally escaped, he used his powers to turn the dragons into pets. Ba Kien keeps them in small form in his pockets, and brings them out to full size when needed. When one of them becomes full size, it begins to rain (dragons being masters of rain in Chinese mythology). The book notes that Chinese dragons are beings of honor and nobility, so for such an evil tyrant to control them would be highly annoying and even insulting to a Chinese person with any historical knowledge. Oddly they have no claws, bite, or flames, just their strength (which at 90 in growth form is pretty astounding). Because of the changes in Growth, the cost is pretty enormous to be as big as they get (around 100 feet long). When in storage, they are only about 2" long. The bronze dragons have no intermediary form, they are either huge or small. I used growth because it packs in all the necessary stats and is cleaner than building them with alternate characteristics, etc. Plus, that's how the original was built.

Christopher R Taylor Posted February 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 And finally the Super Boxers that Ba Kien turns ordinary Chinese people into. Ba Kien is a very, very powerful bad guy with tremendous potential to give the PCs a very hard time. He gives GMs options for a different arch villain or mastermind in their game with built in minions and servants. The Super Boxers are psychotic servants of the Warlord, and each one starts with a different traditional chinese weapon, particularly ones associated with Kung Fu.

Christopher R Taylor Posted February 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 Ninja Hero had a supervillain team called Yoosoo in it, with a theme of Japanese Elements. They were a pretty effective group I used a couple of times and the first on the block is Hi or "fire". A modern day samurai with magical armor and the power to summon his weapons to him (as long as they aren't more than 30m away), Hi is very loyal to his masters and seeks to overcome the shame of his father's (although in this era grandfather makes more sense) failure to successfully crash a kamikaze plane into a US warship. One aspect of his build I particularly liked is that he's so rigid in his honor and thinking that ambush and treacherous attacks are stunning to him, literally: he has a vulnerability.
