  1. I'm really noobish on working with the Hero System so please do forgive me.

     

    I have this really neat idea (at least I think so) of a Tactical Brick character that kinda has a different powerset then normal but I don't know how to write it up.

     

    The idea is to have a stronger/tougher then normal mutant type character who has a pool of powers that are useless before he starts getting hit. Also there's a danger point that if he absorbs to much energy he takes the extra as straight damage with no defenses allowed, so he may need a way to shunt the excess or just leave it that way. Also the more he absorbs the more he'll bleed it into the air but thats SFX speaking.

     

    What's everyone think, doable or bleeding insane :)

  2. Re: Does your Team have a Charter?

     

    Of course they wouldn't, who wants a bylaw that basically says: "If they're too powerful, kill 'em!". It adds a lot of subjectiveness, who's to say Foxbat isn't a high power threat? Of course a charter would require you to be more of a team, rather than a collection of superheroes who don't wanna have to face Mechanon alone.

    Killing Nate? Why ever for, I think he's a neat character! We are the good guys after all. I would say we could write-up a charter but then everyone in the group has differing views on what being a hero is all about.

     

    You have Patriot who is the do the right thing type (or if your doing something wrong don't let them catch you at it) but no attempting to KILL someone

    You have Glavin who enjoys removing grappling hooks that are being used by mundanes to travel between fast moving vehicles.

    You have someone who is setting up a false front through a mob 'Accountant' so he doesn't have to work anymore and lord knows what else.

    A redemed demon of extreme redemtion ala DEATH who is now an Angel of Redemtion ala DEATH

    The only normal one of us is Valor...

  3. Re: Things a wise super hero should NEVER say

     

    "Hey you guys look like those guys we beat the crap out of last week!"

    (yea I actually said that but it was so incharacter. Followed closely by the beating of his life but hey :P)

     

    "NO! Foxbat wouldn't steal a tiger, dye it green and paint orange stripes on him!"

  4. I was working on a character who was werewolf. Built it as a multi form but pretty much a Bestiary werewolf tweaked up for a Sups campaign. Would like to here more ideas about having a werewolf PC in a supers game and what powers you would add to make it work.

     

    Oh and "The Pack" idea is great and reminds me of a series of books by Mrs. Hamilton about a world full of the old monster types werewolves, wererats etc etc and vampires and magic. Very nice series just not for kids if you know what I mean. /nudge /nudge.

  5. Wow this is a brilliant idea. Good basis for a campaign as well. I like it.

     

    Eightball: (Geneticaly engineered super with no real world knowledge or History) Would have no idea what was going on or what was about to happen.

     

    Tombstone: No way this would be going down on his watch he would fight to the last and try and interpose himself in the path of laser and try to save as many as he could.

     

    Freon: Would try to save as many as possible but he would know history was already written and those destined to die would die. In his time he figures he was probably one of the unnamed heroes who perished in the disaster.

  6. My character's reaction

     

    Freon (yea ice mutant) "..........." some time later "........."

     

    Tombstone (demonicly possessed brick)

    "WTF did you do to me you peace of road kill!" Proceed to pound an answer out of the guy because you know cutting a hand off had to involve some severe body loss. And he enrages at loss of body :)

     

    Eightball (bio-engineered mutant/MA)

    "Well here I thought they made me with flesh and bones." Go looking for Ballistic to fix him up then maybe run some tests to see what else isn't working as intended.

  7. Hey Jon I kinda like the Recoil name but that's just me and it's not my character :)

     

     

    As for the oozing out could you buy, as a power, escape MA with levels?

     

    ps. We still on for Sat? Mr. Paul joining us? Whats xp for last week as I'm thinking of buying Metahuman world/powers KS for an off shoot of his editic memory.

  8. Be careful, the players will probably turn the tables on you at one point:

     

    "How did Black Paladin know to Dive for Cover?"

    "Huh..."

    ;)

    Thats simple...your a super hero right? You've been in this city for how long? Yea you've been on TV during a fight he knows what your gonna try to pull :)

  9. Except for the background typo where you say Tech Knight was paralyzed instead of Arcane Knight.

     

    Your lance does need a little more help I mean if you can't use velocity on it why have it? I figure you'd want it to have as big an initial punch as possible. Is there a way to make it so it can't be used without stretching (kinda simulate that it's long and unwieldy?)

    Oh yeah, I give out plenty of free GM plot devices. My last group got free Force Field belts made by the old man they rescued. Little did they know he actually a villian, who only had temporary amnesia, and as soon as it wore off they were in for a world of hurt, as they had come to rely on the belts and of course they wouldn't work against him.

    What your saying Sparky's Evil? Oooooo the humanity lol this is too good.

    Instead of anything like the Bronze Avenger you are describing. I just make the leaders of the assault teams and iron guard teams meaner and tougher than the regular agents.

     

    ShelleyCM: Can't wait for more PRIMUS(one of the best supplements I've ever read).

     

    John Spencer

     

    He's not joking. The leader of our normal PRIMUS assault group could drop most of the PCs.

  12. For this guy I'd recommend changing the Ice Blast to a combo of a small NND (2 - 4 D6) continuous linked to the Entangle so that they take damage as long as they are entangled (because it's freezing in there!).

     

     

    I kind of like this idea. We are using a Multipower pool for the attacks and an EC for the FF and enviro powers. And a multi for the movement powers which got set as a +15 run +21 glide side effects big chunks of ice. So I'm thinking of breaking the ice blast out to a 12d6 ED attack then a seperate entangle attack so maybe I'll use the NND/Entangle idea sounds viable if John will let me do that. This ice boulder will probably be changed to an AOE Ice Storm type of attack haven't worked that one out yet. Still liked the idea of this huge ice block falling on some mooks heads :)

  13. OOO I like the IR invisibility might have to add that.

     

    Think I'm gonna leave out the boulder for now and change the ice blast around. Ice Armor has changed to Ice Sheath FF. Keep em comeing myself or John will post a work in process :)

     

    Yeah I knew about the old Freon but he didn't seem like a classic Ice powers character IMHO. Might take the disad hunted by him for using his name :P

  14. Thanks for all the help guys it is appreciated. I'm the one who will be using this char in John's campaign. We are trying to keep powers less abusive then our last campaign.

     

    All other comments I've already begun refining some aspects of the character and background story. With more refinement in store when I get my hands on UNTIL book.
