Re: Sentient Weapon Them as have been here longer than I always say "work backward from effect," so I would ask you: what does it do? Because, depending on that, the fact that it's sentient may be nothing more than special effects...
-
Does this, in fact, protect my entire team so long as they stay close?
-
Re: Ultimate Suppresser Interesting...he would need to pick a special effect for that to work...so, is there an appropriately large advantage version of Variable Effect that would allow suppress to suppress whatever power the character chooses, one at a time? Or even more awe inspiring, all powers regardless of sfx?

Re: Restrainable Limitation And more to the point, do you get points for both Restrainable and Gestures, since the one seems to be a superset of the other?
-
Re: Restrainable Limitation See, that's my gut feeling too - that you'd get more of a disad if you took the focus, but it could be taken away - but what if the sfx are just ninja reflexes and dodging and interposing objects of opportunity? And what's your feeling on gestures as a limitation for missile deflection?
-
Re: Restrainable Limitation Okay, am I missing the point here? Real world situation -- can a character buy Restrainable on Missile Deflection?

Re: resurrected being No kidding... a bit like a biological Mechanon...

Re: Campaigns bases off alternate sources. Great topic. I'm generating a world whole cloth from the origin stories myself. Putting it all together from scratch. Going to take some time, I think, before it feel fully fleshed out, but I've got three or four different directions my players could take things in without totally throwing me for a loop.
-
Re: Call it 'Total Recall' Wouldn't you need to use that power proactively, rather than retroactively? No, I'm thinking the mental transform is about the only way to do it the way the OP presented it.

Re: The Butler All of these are great ideas, but I was really bummed that the thread wasn't about a villain called The Butler... Because you know he did it...

Re: A DC Animated-style HeroMachine It's disturbing, that's what it is...
-
Re: A snake tail instead of legs I actually just built a hero like this the other day. I did not give him extra limbs, stretching or any other benefits, and in fact sold back some of his running and leaping. That, coupled with a phys lim and distinctive appearance, were enough for me.

Re: What Are You Listening To Right Now? First Wave on Sirius/XM - Smalltown Boy by Bronski Beat right this second. If it were up to me (and it rarely is), we'd never have the TV on at all, except this channel.
-
Re: A DC Animated-style HeroMachine Another hero I whipped up this evening. I'm really quite fond of this ridiculous tool... I call him Hada (it's Slovak for Serpent) - I've attached his HDC file as well.
-
Re: Restrainable Limitation More to the point, if you deliberately don't take 'restrainable', does that give you a sort of limited usage stretching to twist your neck around just so as to be able to bite the grabber?
-
Re: A DC Animated-style HeroMachine Not at all. He's fresh from HDC and has never been used in a campaign, so knock yourself out. I'll PM you the .hdc file as well, if you're interested in my take on him.
-
Re: A DC Animated-style HeroMachine A character I just put together last night while I was supposed to be doing laundry. He's a high school math and drafting teacher whose mutant power was that his body turned entirely to steel. He has since left teaching and makes his money from endorsements, commercials, cameos on TV and movies and the like. He goes by the monicker "Alloy"

Re: You. Make. The Call.
-
Re: You. Make. The Call. He started out with only 20 slots, at which point it was less useful than a VPP, but also a point cheaper, and less likely to cause problems. Then he just went ape-dookie and added all the rest. In a heroic game, this would be a real doozy.
-
Re: You. Make. The Call. Just to keep one of my own ridiculous threads going, how do you all feel about this construction? Mind you, this is a Champions game, and many of these just wouldn't work on just anybody, but it does make him remarkably flexible... ETA: This is what I get when I suggest he not use a VPP because who wants to build all those powers...

Re: A snake tail instead of legs You are in a mood today, Waters...

Re: Character regrets I've got a character right now without a home: a mage with one fairly large EC of elemental magics (high power, only four slots) and then a really low powered MP of cantrips with something like 24 slots. He's a freakin' swiss army knife...
