Re: Terror INC Cloak might be a good one, or my Fav for a Darkness Char - Eclipse Give him a Continuous EB with Sticky, and Opaque to sight... Like a Darkness Blob. Male or Female?? Giganto Arsenal? I created a character to lead a group of NPC Heroes in my world, to be rivals with the PC Team AvantGuard, I called him Cache Hope those Helped WC PS If you need help with that last one I'd gladly loan you Cache, Just let me know.

Steve, Been looking for the 'Official' way to do this. If a character has 12d6 and wants to add +4d6 to it (Like a Nova Blast 16d6) How can I make this power whithout making the Power 16d6 with the last 4 having some Lim (like x End or Charges) (It's in a MultiPower that doesn't have the AP to fit the 16d6 Attack, and the Nova part would be coming from another MP) If I do it with a Linked Power then the defender gets to apply his Def twice. and That's not what I'm looking for. The Power HA for some reason is able to add up with other HAs (say bought through Foci), with Martial DCs, and STR for what could be an unending amount of Dice of Damage, but EBs seem to be stuck at PUSHED for their Max. Example: Brawn is winding up to take out Master Villain X. He's got a STR of 50, a Martial Strike (w/Weapon Element: War Maul), the war-maul (4d6 HA) and his mage buddy has cast a spell on the head of the maul that gives him an additional 4d6 of HA. Now, all that adds up to 20D6 of damage. (We're assuming that he's not haymakering or doing a move-by or both). Sparky has a 12D6 EB and decides to push so he can help out his buddy, Brawn. He pushes and all he's got is 14D6 EB, that's all the help he can muster. There's nothing more he can do, no manuevers (short of a haymaker) to add DC's. Where as Brawn up there can just keep staking on HA's till the cows come home. WC

Re: Aquans WOW Mangog Now I HAVE to use these guys!!! I'm gunn take the weakend to write these guys up in 5th WC PS Havn't had time to draw or color lately, but hope to get back into it soon.

Man I really like that Man of War Pic. I just recently dug out that old adventure, and the thing I dislike the most was the art... but if you had done them... WOW... Good Job Mangog!! WC

Re: Re: The Black Enchantress I've started him, but not sure on the color scheem. If anyone has the proper colores for him let me know so I can finish him up. WC Oh and here she is w/out BG

The Black Enchantress OK here's the 2nd (and last for now, will do more) Pic I colored from the Coriolis Effect. The Black Enchantress was originaly Drawn by Glenn Johnson, and All Kudoes should go to him for the great art to work with. I did these pic because I plan on re-vamping them and changing things around to fit them into my campaign world. Here hoping that the Character designs come out as good as the color job. WC PS if anyone likes I can post one withough the BG

Ch'Andarra Here is my Colored Version of Ch'Andarra from the Coriolis Effect. I couldn't find a description stating Hair, eyes, costume color so I just did what I felt The Original Artist is Glenn Johnson, and I'd like to give him credit for a GREAT picture to work with, and I hope if he ever sees these that he'd approve. Photoshop is a fun medium to color with, but I'm still learning... if anyone has any tips please let me know. WC

Coriolis Effect Pics Well I don't really know how to get in touch with the Artist. The Adventure states that Glenn Johnson is the artist, and I don't think he's done any recent work for Hero. I think I'm just going to post it, and Hope nobody get's upset (and I don't get banned ) And No... Sorry No SCEPTERE Stories... they are due to come back from their D-hopping Adventures this Sat so Soon I hope WC

OK I'll make it 3... You stuff is really Clean and Crisp Mangog... Something I can't seem to get in mine Great work keep it up Question for the masses out there. I've just recently remade some old Champions characters from the Coriolis Effect, and also did the pics (well scanned and colored actualy) and I was wondering 2 things... would anyone like to see them, and would it be apropriate to post those here since I didn't draw them. WC

The Coriolis Effect Speaking of Old Adventures... I recently dug up the Coriolis Effect, and was thinking about incorporatin some of it's elements into my campaign. You see while I have a very ritch campaign world, my weakness is in the Mystic area. When it comes to Magic in my world it's never been too prominate, nor all that deep. Unfortunatly for me... the very 1st PC I got for this game is a Mage... a 2000+ yr old Temporal Mage named Tempest (yeah he thinks the misnomer is funny) Anyway I was thinking of Having Tempest (Or Epoch as he was called in the old days) take the place of Dr Arcane, and have been involved with Ch'Andarra/The Black Enchantress. I can build the characters, but might be a bit unimaginiative on the spells. Has anyone used this Adventure in 5th ed (heck 4th Ed would be interesting) and how might you have used these characters, plot threads, backgrounds ect... WC

Goliath OK last one for the night. Goliath. Gpliath was a character fom WAY back in the HS game I played in. He was my Friend Oscar's 1st and most beloved character. Goliath was a Mute Brailian Boxer who gained his mutant powers after begining his boxing carrer. The only way toi safe face was to move to america and become a Superhero. I drew this pic back in 92 many years after I last played with this character, and I don't know why I drew him at that time... but he wasn't even an NPC in my game at that time, or in my game now (although I might change that) But here he is... mostly colored... I need to finish him, but I'm beat. Also not too sure on the colors I used... I think blue & Grey were his colors, but for some reason what I have on this pic just isn't gripping me... Anyone out there have any Ideas? I would apricate the help WC PS: Sorry for the spelling or if this doesn't make much sense... I'm tired

Amazon Hey all, Back to post some more pics. To start off I'll post an old pic from back in 92 but recolored today in Photoshop. ?In my curent campaign Amazon is a member of Omega, a Mutan Terrorist group bent on Mutant Superiority (yeah we've all heard that before huh?) She's only 16yrs old, but stands over 7'2" tall. She's curently still with Omega, but is starting to question thier actions. The skimpyness of her costume is meant as a distraction to the predominatly male Brick opponents she tends to face. As most men are going to be about chest level, you can see the advantage... WC

Yup, can't see it, nor is there anythign there when I click on the link. WC

Or This Or you coule even look at the thread on this board... Superhero Images http://www.herogames.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=149 It's a colection of Pics done by Hero gammers for their characters/NPCs in their game. And some are quite good if I do say so myself (Shameless plug) I've posted a few myself :-) WC

Bump Time to Bump this thread back to the top... Pics soon WC

Thanx Monolith I knew I was missing something... Was unsure how the Layered effect of the Def would work. Still It seems as if it was a great deal of Def (at the outset) Vs the Firepower at hand (Esp since I didn't have the stats for the Missles) Now that you cleared up (what was right before my eyes) I see a battle between 2 of these mammoth vessels to be very exciting and drawn out. Althought I see the missles not beign that effective once you take into account the Missle Deflection systems (And with a +8 that's a hefty chance that the missles won't hit) Now onto the Fighter... 4 man or 1 man makes no dif. 1 shot destroys it? I don't care what kinda def manuvers you have to be that susebtable to being destroyed in one, Granted it's DCV is Outstanding, but one Hit?? Not too Offensive if it can't get to it's target. 1 hit by an AOE weapon (Such as on the Apocalypse) is all it takes to end this "offensive threat". A 1 hit vehicle is just not conducive to Role playing... Movies or TV might be OK, but an RPG needs to better protect it's PCs Overall you have done what I asked for... showed me how the big vehicles arn't unbalanced, but still not too sure how the fighters (at lease itn the STK) stack up. Thanx WC

Hello all, I mainly play Champions, but I'm a HUGE Hero fan, and have picked up EVERYTHING Hero has put out for 5th so far (well except what ever just came out this last week :-)) Anyway A pal of mine, Thom is using Star Hero, and the supplements to design his own version of Battlestar Hero. In doing so we have been looking over the ships created for the SH genera to get a feel for how we should build the Vipers, Cylon Raiders and other ships. What I found (and I can only speak for the STK, because Thom has my other books at this time) is that the Ships are very unbalanced, and I'm wondering why. I'll give examples. Example 1: Super-Dreadnought class Imperial Navy IAV Apocalypse (Pg 61 STK) lists it's DEF as 25 but also adds on a "Outer Force Field: 25Pd/Ed Ablative", "Hull Force Field: 15Ed/Ed", "Ablative Armor Plating: +38 DEF" and "Hull Armor: +20 DEF Hardened" For a grand total DEF of 123 (If my math is correct) It's most powerful Weapons Systems are as follows: "Type 8 Plasma Cannons: 12d6 RKA AOE 1 Hex Accurate" [40c](I also realize that is has 50 Antimatter Missiles, but I don't have stats for those at this time) The maximum Damage that this weapon can do is 72 Body; against another Super-Dreadnought this would be 100% ineffective until the shields dropped. (At 80END per phase, SPD 3 that's 240 END per Turn Just keeping shields up and another Aprox 80 END spent on LS, Sensors and Artificial Gravity, they aren’t going to run out of their 500END/500REC anytime soon) As it would be pointless to fire any lesser weapons that use End (Although they could fire enough to spend another 180END Oh and an additional 250END from the back ups if need be) And even then with the shields are down their Hull DEF is 83, Still more than enough to handle the mightiest blast from the vaunted Type 8 Plasma Cannon (I'm assuming this is a powerful weapon as this Super-Dreadnought has 2 of them) Was this ship meant to be unbeatable? Are there other ships out there that can hurt this ship, and if so... keep them far away from me. Example 2: (Skipping all the way down to the 1 manned Fighters) "Imperial Navy SBP Tempest Fighter" (pg 83 STK) 10 DEF 25 BODY Main Weapon: "Mark XV Starship Laser" Near Targeting Beam mode: 9d6 RKA AP (Average/Max Dam: 32/54 Body) Near-Targeting Pulse mode: 7d6 RKA (AF5) (Average/Max Dam: 21/42 Body x1-5) Now once again fighting a ship of similar stats, we have an unbalanced outcome. This ship is exactly the opposite of our previous example. It is destroyed in 1 shot, by an average roll. Does this have a purpose? Are the fighters meant to have such devastating weapons while having almost NIL in DEF? Is this to simulate what we see in movies and TV? If so I’d hate to have been Luke Skywalker in one of these fighters, or the Rebels against a Stardestroyer made along the lines of what I’ve seen in STK. Can someone please tell me I’m missing something here. Or tell me that it was an oversight, or something. WC

Black Owl Colored (Finally) Hello all you Herophiles, It's me Wildcat, back again. Today I've finally finished coloring the pic I did of Black Owl. I've been lurkign about this tread as well, and I like the pic Enforcer84 did, and I think it's funny that loraxxx and I post posted bubly patrotic heroes close to the same time. Although I must say I agree with the others, and think the breasts are a bit too big (and I thought Lady Victory's were too big.) Well anyway here is Black Owl with a background I found online @ http://www.marlinstudios.com (Credit where creit is due) "Dark Alley" by Geoff Holman It just fit EXACTLY what I was feeling for this char (and I suck at backgrounds) WC

I got mine!!! OK just got home from the FLGS with my copy of Viper: Coils of the Serpent and just from lookign through it I'm very impressed. am runnign my Game tonight and won't be able to fully look at it tonight but will do so tomorrow... Will give you an update soon. WC PS Quetzalcoatal Aerial Gunship - Nuf Said

re: Shuriken Hey Maggs, I really like Shuriken, esp the way you put the actual stars she's throwing in the forfront like that... I never could get that to work for me (and havn't tried in years) As for the shoulder pads on Lady Vic... I thought that too...those colors ARE too similar, but I hope that once I finish coloring her (you know whit shading and all) that it will all work out...If not, I'll def chng the color. Thanx for the input WC

Re: Epoch Wow Maggs that was a very insightful responce... and thank you very much for the compliment. And for my next Pic... One of the 2 females of the Liberty League, Lady Victory. Once again the coloring isn't 100% yet but once I have them all done (2 more BTW) I'll finish their Photoshop coloring. WC

Re: Wildcat, Thanx for the compliments, and yeah Dr. Midnight was partialy an insperation for Black Owl, esp the goggles. WC

Vesbin This pic wwas done for a PBEM FH game I was running in 2001. Vesbin was a street fighting rogue who was never able to keep himself out of trouble. In fact most of the party was gathered together in one way or another by this troublemaking NPC WC

Benji Benji was Ogre's "Little Brother" Who was in fact older, and quite possibly a woman. (the game ended just before I could find out for sure) When I drew this pic ffor the female player she was very happy with the way I drew her character, and thought i had Benji "Dead on" WC

Ogre OK he's not really an ogre, it's just his nic-name. Ogre was from a FH PBEM game I was in a few yrs ago. I drew about everyone's character in the game, and I'll post more soon. WC
