Yeah, even in my 5th Edition Revised I only found it under body-affecting powers. I'm not sure if it's mentioned anywhere else because I couldn't find it in the Limitations section either.

Noble Knight Games online still has some sets for sale if anybody is interested.

As always, thank you, everybody, for your help. These forums are so awesome!

It was actually a picture of a beat up and bleeding Marksman that got me into Champions as a kid. This was an advertisement way back in the 80's for Champions. When I first saw Marksman in this picture I thought he was a Brick, but I later found out that he was more of a weapon's expert. I thought he was a Brick because he looked pretty buffed. Lol.

Even if the weapon was bought with the Beam Limitation?

Dang! I wish I had those. Those would be fun to paint and use in a game.

But you couldn't lessen the damage on a modern rifle or machine-gun because they are usually bought with the Limitation, Beam, right?

I guess my biggest question relating to this topic is this: If you buy a power with charges can you use less power than your max? Since they don't use END, I was just curious as if you could use charges at a lesser power.

I used to buy Marvel and DC Heroclixs and slowly separate the big base from the figure with an exacto knife. Than I was going to super glue the figure onto a smaller base or a quarter, but never got around to it. If you use this method then try freezing the miniature before you cut into it, this makes it easier to cut through the glue that holds it to the bigger base that it is originally attached to.

This is probably how I would build the power. It seems like a pretty powerful power that would cost a lot of points. This is exactly how I picture it, what with the "massive internal parts failure" and all. I really like how this system lets you come up with the special effects yourself. I just hope my players and I have the imagination to do this game any justice.

Yeah, that's cool too. I was also thinking maybe the armor has different sizes of mini-rockets stored in it and could always say that the lower damage rockets are just smaller (micro-rockets?). Lol.

I wonder how I would define my mini-rocket doing less than 12D6 damage? I guess I could say that the suit just doesn't put as much gun powder into the rocket when I only use it at 6D6 as opposed to its maximum damage of 12d6, but that sounds kind of lame.

If I create a suit of powered armor and one of my attacks is an Energy Blast, 12D6 described as mini-rockets and has 6 charges, could I instead of using all 12D6 use only 8D6 or 6D6 power? In other words, do charges ALWAYS have to be used at the power level you bought the charge at?

Wow, that's pretty cool to! That's a nice, creative way to do it also.

Wouldn't the tanks still be able to hurt you, though? I'm looking for a power that really does disable them to where they are useless, with the special effect that they all broke down. I like what Mrinku said, maybe a Dispel on the tanks or something? Arrrggghh, so many ways to do powers in this book!!! But that's what makes it so cool.

Wow, that's pretty cool, Massey. Very creative. I guess it just takes experience in reading and playing the Hero System for somebody to come up with something as awesome as this.

The flexibility of this system is just mind blowing! There are so many different ways to make powers. I guess the only limit is one's own imagination.

Regarding an army of tanks breaking down, would that be a Transform (transform tanks into broken down tanks)?

When you say, "appropriate limitations," do you mean telling them something like, "you can't cause people to spontaneously explode," or do you mean the game mechanics of power limitations (-1/4, -1/2, -3/4,...etc.)?

I was wondering how you would make Major Disaster's and the Scarlet Witch's powers in Champions. I once saw Major Disaster cause an army of tanks all break down and always thought that was pretty cool. I also like Wanda's power of probabilities where all of a sudden a gas main just so happens to rupture beneath the feet of the villain. How do you write these unpredictable powers up in Champions?

I have also heard the term, "FRED." Is that that a reference to the 5th Edition book?

Ha. Ha. Right on. I never thought of it that way. Thanks for lifting me up.

I keep seeing the term, "BBB" on this site. What does, "BBB," mean?

Hello, Hero Family, I just wanted to wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving, and to thank you all for your help and support. After much debate (and a considerable amount of money), I have chosen to roll with 5th Edition Revised. So, any further questions I have will be regarding 5th Edition Revised. Again, you guys and girls have been very helpful to me and I can't thank you enough. My goal in life is to run an awesome Champions campaign in the spirit of Matt Mercer and Critical Role, and I need all your help to even be able to lift Mr. Mercer's coattails, much less ride on them. Lol. Happy Thanksgiving, and always remember that......JESUS LOVES YOU!!!

After perusing 1st Edition, 4th Edition, 5th Edition, and 5th Edition Revised, I am going to have to agree with you. I am blown away by the amount of information in the Revised version and enjoy the fact that it corrected a lot of errata from the 5th Edition. Too bad it's hard to find a reasonable priced physical copy online.
