tiger Posted June 11, 2018 Report Share Posted June 11, 2018 I decided not to and went with DF Complication. Was gonna work up a power for it but didn't feel right to me. He takes great lengths to never be seen without his mask. So having it as a power felt wrong. I'm still debating on adding it and updating the PDF.

Ninja-Bear Posted June 11, 2018 Report Share Posted June 11, 2018 Well Tiger my 2 cents on Hideous is that it should be written up. A few reasons, what if his mask comes off? GM probably wants to know that. Another is if keeping with 4th version, for someone to trust him, they had to look at his face unflinching at -3 Ego iirc. And I think players really would like to know how ugly he really is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiger Posted June 11, 2018 Report Share Posted June 11, 2018 Easily added, I'd make it +20-30 PRE, NCC, only to cause fear/disgust, only if masked is removed or knocked off. I'd stay away from Mind Control, it a bit more clunky and you'd have Mental Defense, high EGO plus Mental Combat to deal with. In this particular case I think simple is best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pluses do increase Presence Attacks along with appropriate interaction skills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wcw43921 Posted June 11, 2018 Report Share Posted June 11, 2018 I don't think there's been any artwork revealing the unmasked face of Hideous. If I remember my Classic Enemies, there was a passage in the text about how a PC looking at his face without flinching or some other obvious sign of revulsion required an EGO roll at a minus three (-3). Other than that it's left to the imagination of the players. Myself? I figure he makes Two-Face look downright pretty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiger Posted June 11, 2018 Report Share Posted June 11, 2018 I updated the PDF. Its uploaded to RPGNow and sent it to Jason as well. I decided to go with: He is Hideous: +10/+10d6 Striking Appearance (vs. all characters) (30 Active Points); Limited Power Only If Mask Is Removed or Knocked off (-), Limited Power Only To Cause Fear/Disgust (-) wcw43921 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that's their names. Thanks. And whatever the names, I'd still like to see them return. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steriaca Posted June 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2018 I can see Sparkler being a grey character (a "heroic" villain). On one hand, she is deeply protective of female and children. Doubly so if they are illegal Hispanic immigrants looking for a better life. On the other hand, she is willing to kill, and has done so in the past.

steriaca Posted June 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2018 Next victim...err villain. Timemaster would make an interesting second being. Especially considering that not only is he fighting to control time itself, but to reestablish his own existence (having accidentally whipped himself from the time stream, only existing without his power suit inside Limbo). I just mentioned Sparkler in a message above. Beamline would make an interesting third. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steriaca Posted June 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2018 Humm...what would be a backup three if Tiger can't get approval for whatever his next three picks? I give Tiger free use of my update of Power Crusher (Megacrusher). Bullet might make the 'grey' villain part. Mammoth/Mastodon from European Enemies might be a nice comic relief villain to balance out the seriousness of the other characters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninja-Bear Posted June 12, 2018 Report Share Posted June 12, 2018 Perhaps it’s thru Timemaster that all these villains are making a comeback? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That might be a possibility. That might explain the two different versions of Halfjack (the 5th edition VIPER Dragon Branch version and the one which is 4th edition upgraded to the 6ed).

tiger Posted June 12, 2018 Report Share Posted June 12, 2018 I have permission for several. I'm only planning two in so in the series a year so I have a few issues worth as it is, might add in other series as well. I will make a list if submission to HG to increase my list as well. Some mentioned here I have the ok for others I will start a new list. The Geodesics are next and have been cleared. So has Rainbow Archer, Frisbee, Wyvern, Bullet & his raiders just to name a couple. Plan on staying with 3-4 characters per issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steriaca Posted June 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2018 An interesting thing for The Raiders is for them to have a reality tv show, much like Dog The Bounty Hunter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steriaca Posted June 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2018 Don't forget Tiger, that you might want to have a look at Dystopia and the Adventures Club issue about Castle Securities. You might not actually use the information in either source, but it will be helpful with the Geodesists, Piledriver, and Critical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiger Posted June 12, 2018 Report Share Posted June 12, 2018 I have and might use some parts, are though Diamond will be more like the original than Dystopia. Also leaning towards moving Geodesics to SIDs Report because of some changes I have in mind. Which would make the next Forgotten Enemies Rainbow Archer, Frisbee and Wyvern if I do.

SID sounds wonderful for the Geodesists. Rainbow Archer sounds cool for the FE book. Hopefully you have one special arrowhead for each color of the rainbow. Will these be ranged attacks, or no ranged attacks with buying off no range on recovable charges? Frisbee would be a site to see. Give her a 70's funk vibe and we are set. Wyvern? Keep in mind that 6ed has very little connection to Alkasaure and Neuron. Of course, your supplement, your decision on the character and their backstory.
