Hmm.... interesting idea.

I did a little of that for Jack. If I redid him (at least) he'd use this style of SFX.

Nope. I can't stomach those films.

Have you had a look at Captain Jack Sparrow then? http://www.herogames.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=12910

Oooohhh! Good suggestions! I'll include them after others have had their say and I can decide how the final (website) version will look.

Thank you. Link to website listed below.

There are stories, of course, stories about how he vanished from under the noses of seven agents of the East India Company, how he sacked Nassau Port without ever firing a shot, how he recruited a crew of find the legendary Isle de Muerte and was marooned for his efforts, and how he escaped from abandonment by roping several sea turtles together to make a raft. In any case, its been ten years since Jack was forced to watch Firstmate (and now Captain) Barbossa sail away with is beloved ship, the Black Pearl. He's been wandering about the Caribbean (and possibly the world) ever since, looking for Barbossa and the chance to recover this ship. He's also heard of the curse (and isn't sure if it's true or not) and knows recovering his ship won't be easy -- others have heard of the curse as well, and aren't too keen on going up against a band of unkillable, undead pirates who are so ruthless as to make other pirates shudder t even think about it. Personality/Motivation: Jack is an enigma. One can never tell exactly what he's thinking or planning, or even if he's speaking the truth. In truth, he does seem a man of his word, and sticks to it, even if circumstances lead one to believe otherwise. Of course, he does have his priorities, and staying alive tops the list. To be honest, much of what he does is driven by how his actions can best benefit Jack. A prime example of this is his conversation with Will in the jail. He has no interest in being freed until he knows who Will really is, and in him sees a way to take his revenge on Barbossa. Some of this self-centeredness can be attributed to Jack's devotion to the Code of the Brethren (a.k.a. the Pirate's Code), in which it is stated (among other things)"any man who falls behind is left behind". Quote: "When you marooned me on that god forsaken spit of land, you forgot one very important thing, mate: I'm Captain Jack Sparrow." Powers/Tactics: A a pirate (and a flamboyantly cinematic one, at that), Captain Jack has all the abilities one would expect. He's a capable swordsman, a skilled sailor, and has more luck than any man has a right to. He's at home both in the rigging and on-deck, can handle a variety boats and ships, and certainly knows his way around the Caribbean (and the rest of the world). Jack's greatest asset, however, isn't his skill with the sword, pistol, or ship's wheel, but with words. He's quite capable of taking just about anyone into doing whatever it is Jack needs done. For example, he is able to get Will to help him steal a ship, Commodore Norrington to set up an ambush for Barbossa's crew, and to get Barbossa to send him men into said ambush. Of course, as Jack is also (at times) cursed with "no luck at all," not all of his plans work out quite the way he intends. Appearance: Jack stands 5'10", with a lean build and deeply tanned skin. His black hair is worn in an amazing variety of dreadlocks and braids, and strung with an assortment of beads, baubles, and what look like bones. On his right arm is branded the letter "P", marking him as a pirate by the East India Company. Above that is the tattoo of a sparrow. His left arm looks to have been badly burned at one point, and he bears the scars of two musket balls on his right breast. Jack's clothing consist of tall boots, trousers, a loose white shirt, and several scarves worn around his waist. Over his he often wears a long coat and what looks like a leather tri-cornered hat. Designer's Notes: I think that if Jack has been played by just about anyone else, Pirates of the Caribbean would have been nearly as big a hit as it was. Johnny Depp's basing Jack off of Keith Richards (with a little Pepe Le Pew thrown in for good measure) made the character who he is, and made the movie. Jack has so many good lines, I couldn't help but using them as SFX for as many powers, skills, and talents as possible. Jack carries a flintlock pistol with a single shot. It should be (roughly) a 1d6 to 1d6+1 RKA, and might have +1 STUN (flintlocks fired fairly large-caliber balls). It has no OCV bonus and a RMod of -2 (very much a short range weapon). Of course, this being Hollywood, you might want to make it a 1 1/d6 RKA with a RMod of 0. His sword is best classified as a small sword, a fairly short fencing weapon. It's a 1d6-1 to 1d6 HKA. You can remove some of Jack's Interaction skills if you want, or simply drop his PRE and give him a level with all Interaction skills. Speaking of PRE, he might have some defensive PRE, as Jack seemed unfazed by just about everything. He might also have some additional fencing skills, specifically a disarm and a bind. Otherwise, he makes an excellent cinematic pirate.

No problems here.

There they live off of yaks, mountains goats, and anything else they can catch. They also serve as mounts for many of the servants of the Outer Gods and can be pressed into serve as a mount for a brave rider. However, care should be taken the shantak doesn't fly off into space and deliver its rider straight to the god Azathoth. Personality/Motivation: Typical animal motivations. Shantaks have a notable fear of nightgaunts and will flee from one of these beings immediately. Powers/Tactics: A shantak attacks by biting. If needed, it might Grab a target with its teeth and then drop it from a great height. Appearance: A shantak is said to be larger than an elephant with a horse-like head and bat-like wings. Their bodies are scaled and covered with "rime and nitre". Designer's Notes: A shantak is a creature from the Cthulhu/Dreamlands Mythos of H.P. Lovecraft. This design was based upon the shantak presented in the 5th Edition of Call of Cthulhu. Shantaks can range in size from Large to Huge (or greater). Game Masters may wish to add abilities from the Wyrm (or other dragons) seen on page 67 of the Hero System Bestiary.

They are often summoned by various Elder beings to pursue and attack those who have annoyed them. Personality/Motivation: Most of the time, a hunting horror is summoned for a specific purpose -- to chase down someone the summoner wants either captured or destroyed. In either case, the hunting horror will do as it is bid relentlessly, not stopping pursuit until either it, or its quarry has been destroyed. Powers/Tactics: Hunting horrors have two main forms of attack -- biting, or grappling prey with their prehensile tails. They often grapple with the tail first, and then nip at their victim with a mouthful of sharp teeth. Anything capable of harming a hunting horror while so bound may simply be dropped (usually from a great height). Appearance: A hunting horror is roughly 40' of black, ropy, serpentine foulness. They have two (or one!) bat-like wings, which they use to fly. Because of their physical make-up, hunting horrors tend to change shape constantly, and are hard to look at for an extended period. Designer's Notes: Hunting horrors are creatures of the Cthulhu/Dreamlands Mythos of H.P. Lovecraft. This design was based upon the hunting horror presented in the 5th Edition of Call of Cthulhu. Hunting Horrors can range in size from Large to Huge. Game Masters may wish to give hunting horrors additional powers, such as a tail slap (i.e. +4d6 HA), various forms of Life Support (Aging, Pressure, Cold), and spells.

They once controlled the entire plateau, until forced back into the southern valleys after years of warfare with the almost-human Men of Leng. Spinning huge webs, some of which reach from mountain top to mountain top, they feed on shantanks, vultures, yaks, and anything that makes the fatal mistake of blundering into their webs. Personality/Motivation: Highly intelligent, the spiders of Leng tend to be solitary creatures, and will prey on their own kind if the situation warrants. They tend to look on all other beings as a source of food, and can only be dealt with from a position of strength. Powers/Tactics: A Leng spider normally attacks with a highly venomous bite, wrapping up any prey with its webbing to be fed on at its leisure. The spider may also hurl a mass of webbing, trapping a target long enough to be either wrapped in stronger bonds or bitten to death. It is possible for a Leng spider to know certain spells of Dreamlands magic, usually ones dealing with finding and subduing prey. Appearance: A small Leng spider is the size of a Shetland pony. A large one can mass nearly 6000 kg. They have bloated purple bodies, with black legs and fangs. Designer's Notes: Leng spiders are creatures of the Cthulhu/Dreamlands Mythos of H.P. Lovecraft. This design was based upon the Leng spider presented in the 5th Edition of Call Of Cthulhu and The Complete Dreamlands. Leng spiders can range in size from Human sized (at birth) to Huge (or even lager!).

They are nocturnal creatures, coming out only at night. Normally peaceful animals, the worms will gather into great swarms every 50 years or so, burning the surrounding area before dying off and vanishing for a good 10 years. Personality/Motivation: Normal animal motivations. Powers/Tactics: A fireworm normally attacks by biting, although if angered or endangered it can burst into flames, igniting anything flammable it comes in contact with. Appearance: A fireworm is a snakelike creature, ranging in length from 6 to 40 feet long and roughly 1-3 feet through the middle. They are covered with segmented plates armor and are bright blue and orange in color. Designer's Notes: The fireworm of Prag is a creature of the Cthulhu/Dreamlands Mythos of H.P. Lovecraft.

They are closely related to the Fireworms of Prag, but unlike the fireworms, boltworms generate electricity. Boltworms tend to be solitary creatures, only gathering ever 10 years to engage in courtship rituals in which they fill the skies with released bolts of sheet lightning. Personality/Motivation: Normal animal motivations. Powers/Tactics: A boltworm can chose from two attack forms: biting or shocking. As the boltworm builds up a great deal of static electricity when traveling about the desert it can release this energy to either stun of kill its target. Appearance: A boltworm is a snakelike creature, ranging in length from 6 to 40 feet long and roughly 1-3 feet through the middle.

Yeah, but that's against mutiple attacks, this is against one. I think the version without the lim does work better.

Okay. That's a valid point. I was alsolooking for ways to make it less expensive, but then, that's a powerful ability to have there.

An as-yet-unproposed project for HERO Games. And no, it's not Celtic Myth Hero.

In all seriousness, i was trying to decide if the "Only to amount rolled on Healing" limitation was valid. Or served any purpose. Basically it limits the STUN damage you *don't* take, which is a limitation. Further reading seems to indicate the Healing should be the amount you suffered from your *last* hit, not the one hitting you... OTOH, you don't take any damage from the blow hitting you either... so I guess what I developed is as valid as anything else. And yes, I do own GURPS Celtic Myth. I highly recommend it.

Yes.

Greetings everyone. I'm looking to get some opinions on a power construct (listed below). Basically, does it look like it will do what I have written, and/or did I miss anything (or, is there anything I can remove)? Thank you. Feat Of Healing: A sure sign of Sidhe blood, this feat allows the character to be healed by sword (or other weapon) blows taken in combat. There is one catch however; it only works on every other blow, meaning the character will be healed, harmed, healed, harmed (and so on) in a battle. This feat carries over from fight to fight, so the player needs to keep track of how the last blow the character took affected him. Healing BODY 8d6, Trigger (being struck by a edged weapon; +1/4), Persistant (+1/2), Reduced Endurance (0 END; +1/2) (180 Active Points); Can Only Heal Up To Amount Rolled On Damage Dice (-1), Only Works On Every Other Blow (-1), Self Only (-1/2) (total cost: 51 points) plus Armor (48 PD) (72 active points); Linked (-1/2), Only Up To Amount Rolled By Healing (-1/2) (total cost: 36 points). Total Cost: 87 points.

Re: Did i hear HeartQuest? Well, all I can do is ask.

Sorry, PDF version only at this time.

I agree completely. *Everything* he does sounds like his original Batman score.

Seen? yes. Read? No. I am reading Trigun, Hellsing, and a slew of other stuff. Video-wise I'd like to get Witch Hunter Robin.
