Thanks everyone. Y’all bring up very good points. Especially the writing every game aspect which I brought up the to the player as being problematic at best. I’ll copy and paste all of this to him and see what we can figure out. I’ll keep an eye out for new information as well.

I have a player who wants to create a character similar to Mystique except this character touches her target she is not only able to mimic their shape, voice, retinol, signature, fingerprints, etc she is also able to copy their powers. Similar to morph from the old silver age ex man, his shoes, and the animated cartoon. He wants to use multi form, but the rules are more deformed not exactly apply in the situation. I suggested we come up with a custom adder to make multi form “cosmic“ but I’m not sure how much that should be. I welcome any suggestions to making this character. One last thing, we use 5e, but I can reverse engineer 6e.

Thank you very much! I was able to find it per both of your directions.

I am looking for a write up for the effects of a nuclear bomb in Champions. It is not necessarily a Star Hero item but this was the closest SciFi area. I found one some years back and it was pretty detailed with examples of burst radius, 2x knockback for outward and inward damage zones, transformation of people who see it into blind victims, radiation, etc. If anyone knows the link or which book this appears in I would greatly appreciate the help for my WWIII campaign. Thank you...

Wow! Thanks for all the ideas and posts! It's definitely given me a great starting point!

Hi. I'm looking for schematics of just about any kind of base. I am running a post apocalyptic Champions Game. My work schedule is hectic and I find myself not able to create drawings very much. So I borrow from other game systems or people. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

I'm looking for a game like this due to where I live. Can anyone point me in a direction to find one? Thanks!

I'm looking for some kind of mapping software I could use to pair with a text based online Champions game. I plan on texting "turns" to players and using the map(s) for combat. Anyone done anything like this? Any suggestions or ideas are welcome. Also, if the map software can work on a cell phone would be a plus! Thanks.

Before I shell out the money for the 6e Hero Designer can someone tell me if its backwards compatible with 5e write ups? Does it change thing like the new rules for ECs etc? If so does anyone know where I can buy a Hero Designer v3?

Re: Super hero one liners Recently said after hero took more than half his BOD from an attack: (coughs up blood) "Ooooh, that felt so good! Can you do it again with feewling this time?" We died laughing that night!

Re: Common superhero types you've never seen in play PCs which have the ability to fight in and out of costume. Most of the write ups I get from my group are strong on the offensive if they are OIHI or in the super-suit, etc. But if I catch them out of their super tech jammies or in normal id they are fodder. I constantly have to remind them about skills and such OUTSIDE their her identities. Also....jobs. I get that doe-eyed look when I ask "what does your character do when he/she is not fighting crime?" A-"uh, I dunno? Working at a fast food joint?"

Re: 5e Vehicle Design Problems Not very important. Unlike the Blackbird of X-men fame, this one has YET to be destroyed although it has taken severe damage.

Re: AP and PEN attacks Thanks everyone!

Re: 5e Vehicle Design Problems Thank you for all the suggestions. I already did a cut out of the vehicle (kinda like the minis for Car Wars) and we use it on the board. I really like the takes more KB idea; I never would have thought of that.

I have a "Children of the X-men" campaign I'm running and the group has decided it's time to buy the SR-71 Blackbird. However, when I use the Vehicle template in the HD and try to approximate the length and width of the actual plane then the weight is way too high. The actual SR-71 had about 12 levels of Size which the HD gives 409.6ktons. However, the actual plane was only 67.5ktons empty. Is there a way to minimize the weight or do I (as GM) just say that it weighs less regardless of the size levels?

If an attack has AP and PEN then which one is applied first to a target's DEF? Addendum to my first post...I forgot about the edition. We play with 5e.

Re: Sniper You might consider the advantage Continuous on a head shot RKA. It could represent the shrapnel piercing various areas of the brain as it continues to expand in the skull.

Re: 30 Years is a long time for a campaign It was 1982 when I saw 3 guys making characters for Champions and I still have the original black and white book from the early 80's along with GM screen. From that meeting the group has changed but there are still 2 original players and the we have spanned multiple campaigns over the years as players became GMs. It has been a great experience and kept us in contact over the years.

Re: Junior Superheroes I am currently running a group which has 3 adults and 2 new players (ages 13 & 17). The campaign theme is set in the year 2050 and the players are running a group of PCs whose ages are 13-17. We call it the "post apocalyptic teenage superhero" group. It's been a pretty interesting campaign and of the 3 campaigns I currently have ongoing they prefer the teen one. I think the situations associated with their ages and the fact the 2 newbies identify with the PCs more than an all adult group is why the prefer this campaign over the others.

On page 469 of the rev 5E equipment for a vehicle is allowed an extra -1/2 limitation unless the equipment is considered intrinsic. Can you folks give me some examples of what might or might not be considered intrinsic for a vehicle?

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Player: I rolled an 11 to hit! GM: Okay..no problem. You hit. Player: I hit an 8 DCV but I missed a 9DCV. GM: Okay...you missed. (I get this a lot as a GM. I tell them they hit and then they tell me what DCV they hit even though I just told them they hit!)

Can I use a gadget VPP to adjust a slot in an EC or MP? Eg. I have an EB slot and I want to make it armor piercing. I know the game mechanics say no on allowing frameworks to adjust or add to each other unless it's an item bought outside of them (ie. STR) but I think this could be allowed by a GM?

Re: A DC Animated-style HeroMachine Arc: I am unsure. I think Fabrica. I went to a site via a link posted somewhere on this thread. There was a collage of controls, colors...the site is in Portuguese. I was unable to get anything to work so I left but I don't remember the link.

Re: A DC Animated-style HeroMachine Hi. I will try this again. I tried to use the HeroMachine site and I get nothing but an empty white screen. I posted on this thread once before for some help with it and I've subscribed to it but I've gotten no responses yet. Could someone help me please? Thank you.

Re: Game Time & Experience pts. my adventures typically take 3-5 sessions and they get maybe 15-25 experience for the whole adventure depending on how they play. This allows me to give XP for indivudual acts and bits they do as well as playing out disadvantages well. An interesting concept. Are they allowed to carry over fractional exp from adv-adv?
