By the way, great character. I think I might need to "borrow" her (or at least some aspects, anyway) for a villian group I'm putting together.

Good idea: To allow a player to have a wire-wielding Martial Artist named Cableguy.

Bad idea: To allow a player to have a character based on Jim Carrey's Cable Guy.

I too would have to give it a thumbs up. The background is interesting, and offers a number of hooks for the GM. His powers are "bricky" , but the flight and MA's make him a little bit more than the average. There is also a sufficient mix of non-combat skills to make him usable outside of battles. I think you have a great character here. Now, if you'd just post the .hdc for him so that I (I mean we) could (steal) I mean borrow him.......

Hey there,

Welcome aboard (only a little pun intended). How are things on the Right coast?

Two other Villains & Vigilantes adventures were Death Duel with the Destroyers and the sequel The Island of Doctor Apocalypse . They were written by Bill Willingham, of Elementals fame. The first was a great adventure, with a villain team and a giant mech-type robot. The second one had the main villain mastermind, who I ended up replacing with Dr. Destroyer. They made for some good gaming.

I noticed that,with two minor changes, my signature is a Haiku:

Eagles may soar..., but

weasels do not get suck'ed

into jet engines

and on that note, I'll leave you with this:

I tire of these rhymes

The sound of sleep calls to me

Be well, those still here

On the more humorous side:

Moonknight vs Bat-mite

Wonderman vs The Wonder Twins

Krypto, the Superdog vs Scooby-Doo

:D

It worked. Thanks again for the assist.

There is a Tab called "Target". Change it so that it reads DCV instead of Self Only. When you do that all the combat Advantages and Limitations will be available to you.

 

You can also type 12d6 instead of Strength. Then the printout will say: Shockwave: 12d6 Explosion, Hole in the Middle. I use Strength so that anyone looking at the sheet can understand what the base power is. Either way is fine though.

I'll try it later and post my result here. Thanks muchly!

The Shockwave power in Champions is a Naked Advantage with a 60 point base. So on the first line you type Shockwave. On the second line you type Strength. In the total box you put 60. Then you add the Explosion and Hole In the Middle Advantages. That costs you 45 points and uses 4 additional END. Then add all the Limitations listed in the power. Power done.

Monolith, I was doing everything as you said, except for typing Strength on line 2. When I tried to add Explosion, it wasn't on the list that came up. I'm at work, so I don't have HD at the moment. I'll try it this evening and see if it works.

Thanks.

This may be sort of an HD questions, but it begins with just building the power. I'm trying to build the Shockwave brick power from the sidebar on page 69 of the Champions book. At first I thought that I should use naked modifier, but when I did I couldn't figure out how the book came up with the points that they did. Can someone help me out, and tell me the steps that I need to go through to do this?

Not my artwork, but I found a great resource for George Perez JPGs that might be helpful to some of you.

Thanks muchly, Mister V. This is one of the best Perez sites I've ever seen.

Need an opinion...

I'm making an Ice-man type villian with a violent, ruthless streak. The name I have at the moment is ICESHRIKE. What do you folks think? Yes? No? Maybe? Give me your opinions, or other ideas.

Ok. I went to a con today at which Aaron Allston was guest of honor. I didn't know until I got there, though, that the dealers room had no, as in zero, zilch, zippo, the big nada, game retailers. Plus I'd missed Mr. Allston's autograph period anyway. So I ended up with the big nada, etc.

 

Just in case anyone was curious.

:( You have my most sincere condolences [quiet sobbing in background] an author-signed Champions would have been the coup of a lifetime. ["Pass me another tissue.."]

It's funny, this thread hasn't gotten much response, but the files have been downloaded dozens of times. I guess people are digging on the character sheet.

Actually, your Supreme-ness, it's the background of the character that I noticed first. I've always liked the "reluctant hero" bit. At the same time I needed a martial artist for an NPC team I'm putting together, and MAs have always given me the most trouble (the all come out too much alike). I thought that maybe I would "borrow" the 'Cricket (or maybe just parts). I promise to give full Supreme credit when he's introduced. :D

If not email it to me and I will ftp it to my site and link it here.

Well, it's taken me a while, but with MisterVimes' assistance I have finally been able to post the speed calculator I spoke of. I have even added the KPH conversion to it. The Excel file can be found here. Thanks, again, MisterV.

P.S. A big D'OH for me. This file is already available in the Free Stuff, but this version has the KPH converter already on it.

:o

I have an Excel spreadsheet that someone posted on their website. You fill in your Speed, inches in Running, Flight, Swimming (combat and NC) and it tells you the MPH & KPH, IIRC. The file is on my PC at home so I will post it to this thread later this evening.

I didn't realize that I couldn't insert .xls files in a post. If anyone would like this file they can send me a private message. I can e-mail it to them. If anyone can suggest a way to post an .xls file ( I don't have a website here) let me know.

I remembered one more:

Shieldsman: a Capt America clone (without the Patriot aspect). He was a former gladiator from another dimension.

Here are 3 more to add to the list:

SCEPTRE (or SCEPTER) the first spelling is not correct, but stands for S olar-C harged, E nergy-P rojecting, T itanium- R einforced E xo-skeleton (a powered-armor guy)

Silhouette: a shadow manipulating 'porter

Nightray: grim, dark version of my first Champs character, an energy-projector

It works... I think!?

I know the feeling. I finally made Standard Hero and here I am again, starting over. I like the digs, though. It does kind of feel like home.

Thanks to Natoman for allowing us to loiter around his boards. Those were my first experience with discussion boards, and I've been having a great time (and getting some great ideas for my new Champs campaign that's coming up).

And lastly, to Storn. Feel free to post those character pics here anytime. Like I said, I'm always looking for new ideas to borrow (read 'steal'). Your artwork is awesome!
