Re: Champions Jargon @$$handers award - extra XP given to the PC who had their @$$ handed to them in combat, preferably to help ensure that didn't happen again. "Pipsed it!" (or, alternately, "pips tit!"...heh) - Rolling ones on damage dice. Dead Bug - one shot stun/knockout PaTING! - our version of "Prang" Da da DAA!!! (if you know who Captain Chaos is, this was his theme) - used in conjunction with blind luck saves, or someone who does well in spite of his best efforts Barney - the doofus of the group, usually a low-INT brick

Re: Robotics in the Marvel Universe You know, it occured to me that "in an alternate Marvel universe" (as McCoy stipulates at the very outset) all of these guys would be alive and well. It's an alternate universe, after all--heck, take the Ultimate Marvel U. versions. Just sayin'...

Re: Calling All Evil GMs

Re: Low Level Power Ideas Needed for Superhero team Liaison/Career Bureaucrat Give her high defenses and/or Damage Reduction, plus mental defense and power defense. She just simply can't be hurt. She can't fight, mind you, but she's unimpressed by anyone with powers because it's so hard for them to hurt her. Give her lots of administrative skills, bureaucratics, persuasion, etc. Lots of KS, too, like "Civil Procedure" and "Superhumans of the world". Then give her eidetic memory and speed reading. Basically, besides being near-invulnerable, she's the perfect government liaison, able to recite rules and regulations, reports and statistics, etc, at will.

Re: Fantasy Adventures Or Why are we always underground...again It may or may not help, but you could always remind your GM that "dungeon crawls" don't necessarily have to be in dungeons. You could explore an old castle, a wild and untamed forest, desert rock formations, and the like. Not all "dungeons" are underground, after all. Personally, the occassional dungeon crawl (using the term loosely) is okay with me, but I can't for the life of me stand adventures based around 'em. Heck, in my old AD&D campaign my GM and I often went several sessions with absolutely no combat or dungeon crawling. Just plain ol' fashioned role playing, storytelling, dialogue and plot advancement.

Re: Calling All Evil GMs Deifying the hero, even. That'll make a lot of folks happy...

Re: Calling All Evil GMs Good ideas thus far. I immediately thought of EverKnight's suggestion that people would be coming from all over the world to receive healing. Not to mention the press would have a field day with a hero who can heal a city but never has before. What's he been waiting on, the second coming? That hero might not ever know a moment's peace again, secret ID or no. The lawsuit suggestion gave me the idea that some folks might sue the hero for invasion of privacy ("We didn't ask to be healed!"). Some doctors/hospitals might sue the heroes for infringing upon their livelihood. Some religious folks might sue the hero for infringing upon their religious beliefs. Military or governments (or villainous organizations, or just about anyone) might want to co-opt the hero for their own use. He could become very hot property indeed. A quiet abduction might be in the making already...
