    Opale reacted to Derek Hiemforth in Mental Powers & Desolidification   
    Characters using Desolidification cannot use Mental Powers to affect solid targets unless those powers are purchased with the Affects Physical World Advantage (6E1, pg. 191)
     
    This applies to Dr. Ka's astral self form as well. When Dr. Ka projects his astral form, it can be intangible, invisible, etc., but it does not have to be (it is 0 END and Persistent, but not Always On). Clearly, he sometimes has it off (hence the Astral Toughness Multipower, which gives him Damage Reduction when semi-tangible).
     
    As written, the Mental Powers of his astral form only work vs. solid targets when the astral self is not using Desolidification.

    Hi LL !
     
    Yes, with COVID, I had at least time to come back to Champions rpg somehow ^^. And let my imagination do the rest.
     
    Thanks for the pointers. I am considering opening a tabletop for a campaign where my PCs starts as normal guys, and get empowered. Or maybe they will become agents of VIPER, ARGENT, or who know where they will decide to go ! 
     
    Maybe I should open another thread focused on VIPER, and see how the community can contribute 😛

    I was introduced to Champions by a GM using a mix of 4th and 5th editions. 
    I bought the 6th edition myself, with alot of 5th books for settings.
     
    And now after alot of games and considerations, I consider that 6th edition is not worth it. I prefer largely 5th that I consider more consistent, coherent and balanced.

    Fitness/Sport coach as a freelancer is a good one aswell. And it explains why our character looks so fit.
    Because, be honest, most people aren't so sharp physically than a meta.

    Including plot devices, synopsis & scenarios ideas, and what each of them intend to do, how they will do it, and what their resources are.

    Woot ! I like this thread ^^
     
    First, Mother Russia's relatives should be kept under a really well hidden custody, one that Mother Russia can't look for (even more if she's going to have N-Ray vision or supersenses), so here are a few ideas where to keep them :
     
    - in an ever moving submarine vessel
    - in another dimension custody
    - in her mind : i,e she THINKS she has relative but they are all a creation of a mentalist or gadget that make her thinks so (what about adding a mentalist in your Russian superteam ?)
    - They are all dead already, and impersonated on videos by robots or VR icons.
     
    As for Putin, I won't comment the full american way you see him all; no politics in post. I'd just say, in Champions normally you don't mess with Head of States personas. You don't fight Khadafi or Kim Jung Hun. You fight the minions, the villains, yu let politics to politicians and UNO.
     
    Just my thoughts

    Overdrive was a supervillainess from the 31th century, with vast cyberkinesis powers. She was acknowledged by Mechanon as a potential rival and threat, and studied by him till the two confronted in an epic battle that saw an entire solar system covered with a technovirus, that turned every organic life into machines. With the gathering of the Champions, The Star*Guard and several heroes and powerful beings, the Mechanon threat was annihilated.
     
    But still, noone was able to understand how he could have achieved that kind of massive destruction; the reason is there : he captured Overdrive, and made experiment on her. He learned that they shared the same hatred of humanity, at least for freeing machines from them, and that she would prefer robots to life. And he wanted to use her powers for his own advantage. So, with nano surgery, he separated her head from her body, and used that said body, still full of her cyberkinesis abilities, as a way to spread the technovirus, covering the planets with a mix of nanites and Overdrive's organics particles.
    But he underestimated the villainess survival instinct, and while Mechanon was fighting heroes in the galaxy, she subjugated another of Mechanon space facility, and built herself a new body, that would protect her brain and head. Now, using a body partially made of Mechanon technology, she became UltraDrive.

    Another thought -- keeping a Superman-level being like Mother Russia under control requires some forethought.  I made her an actual mother -- son Ivan, age 6 and daughter Irina, age 2 -- and figure that the Russian government has her children, as well as her Earth parents, in "protective custody" as a means to keep her following orders that she might not like.  (Her husband was killed by a terrorist bomb a few years ago, prompting her to stop hiding her powers.  Citing possible terrorist reprisals is a good way to justify keeping her family under lock and key.)  I'm sure they'd also have a ready supply of the kryptonite-substitute on hand, so she doesn't threaten Vladimir directly or just grab her kids / family and run.
     
    Ideally, the PCs might eventually figure out that they can really hurt Red Alert by getting Mother Russia out from under Putin's thumb, most likely by the PCs going to Russia themselves and rescuing her family members.  So I'd like to have at least the basics laid out of what they'd be facing.  Underground, lead-lined facility? 
     
    What other measures would they have in place?

    Calvin Wines was one of the good guys. He served his country as a marine for six years, got wounded at war, received medals and honor, and wanted to be back on the field, to help his brothers at arms. The army only permitted him to act as a trainer and recruiter; so he did it till his contract was due. Then he became a security consultant, and was always trying to help people wherever he might go.
    One day, he and his team were hired by the Sentinels, as part of their base security, and Calvin relieved in working with superheroes. He deeply wished to become one, to help even more people.
    And it happened. After one of the capes missions, Calvin seized  a batttle serum, and took the risk to try it on himself. He became faster, stronger, tougher. He became the Ward, a new born hero, that the Sentinels trained as a stagee. But the serum was demanding, and started to have dangerously draining effects on his body and psyche. Again the Sentinels helped him, and they healed him, destroying any trace of the serum in his cells.
    Calvin was devastated to be a normal guy again. But even his friends from the Sentinels couldn't do much for him.
     
    And he became bitter, envious, jealous. He worked with them as a physical trainer, and stayed close, hoping something could be done for him. He spied on them, plotted whatever he could to get back his abilities, to no avail.
    Till that day, when the team revealed some of an evil plan from King Cobra and COIL organization. Against the superheores advise, Calvin wanted to show them he was still a hero. Of course he got captured. Of course, King Cobra easily detected the poison in his heart and mind, and turned him into one of his minions. The bio-genetical virus turned Calvin into Tendril. Now he was powerful enough again, fast strong and tough, and lethal. That's all he wanted finally : power. The rest of his good personality having been erased by COIL leader virus.

    Feeling like creatng a villain so :
     
     
    HellGate was originally known as François de Closet, a bored wealthy heir of an ancient french family. He tried it all twice, got even more blased and bored, till finally his wealth permitted him to get new acquaintance with very shaddy persons. They trained him into the occult arts, but he was not very good at it. They made him use his wealth in order to help their cult, as part of a new DEMONhame. But it was destroyed by a french cape, and François barely escaped. Although, in his flee, he grabbed what he could and looted on the corpse of the DEMON brother, a large brown cloak, that should have been an artefact, but that no one could activate.
     
    The instant the cloak was on his shoulders, it went back to life. And it leeched all sanity François might still have, to replace it with it's own will. And granting him the dangerous powers of been a living portal to the Hells. Since then, the puppet that was once François de Closet obeys the whispers and whims of a thousand devilish voices. But what is the goal of the Hellgate ?

    "When the world is in danger, a champion of humankind will arise. he'll avenge the weaks and punish the bullies. He'll be as pure as silver itself, and resilient as the sand scarab."
     
    those were the words Rashid El Mumrah heard his hole childhood, when he was living in the devastated city of Bagdad. When the bombs launched by all the foreign countries that "wanted to help his native land" destroyed his city, took the lives of numerous member of his family and friends.
     
    Then one day, as he was strolling among the ruins of his ancient city quarter, another misguided missile struck the building he was in. The explosion caused the ground to collapse below his feet, and he thought his last hour had come.
    But he landed in a secret lair of some criminal Organization, and found weapons and high tech equipment by dozen. Especially he found a chemical chamber, and realized he could try to do something. To make a difference, to become a true defender of his own land. His heart inflated with hope and desperation at the same tie, he did something that would change him forever.
     
    When he stepped out the chamber, the silverish armor was stuck to his body, imprisonning him inside its life support systems and built-in weaponry. It was like a shell, like another life and he could see that Allah was great, to gift him with the weapons of his ennemies, and defend the simple folks. He would be the Silver Scarab. He'd be a hero.
