  3. What Champions Universe character would you gender change?

    Re: What Champions Universe character would you gender change?

     

    I was thinking of Overdrive of VVV as female. A mutant villain who increase her stats to insane levels is fun, especially if she was a woman who was always looking to prove herself over the heroes.

     

    Going the opposite direction: Princess from Enemies Villainy Unbound works good as a guy who is always getting attacked and needs saving, has an imaginary girlfriend, etc.

  4. Strike Force and Space Gamer #51

    Posted

    I was reading through my recently acquired suppliment Stirke Force and I noticed some of the supporting characters are written up by taking characters from an article in issue #51 of Space Gamer "School Holiday". Can anyone help me get this artice so I can write up the characters?

  7. New Campaign Idea: "X-Men: First Class" As The Only Canon

    Re: New Campaign Idea: "X-Men: First Class" As The Only Canon

     

    Didn't they depict young Charles and Magneto as friends in the beginning of X3 in the 1990s, where Charles could walk, and they tried to recruit Jean Grey. This would be 30 years AFTER Charles was shot in the back right in First Class right? So he should be in a wheelchair.

     

    So somehow 30 years after First Class Magneto gave up his evil ways, Charles had a miraculous recovery, and they worked together for a while. Then Charles had a relapse and Megneto went evil again?

     

    Also, if you want to play with ages, Hank McCoy was supposed to be maybe 16 to 18 in First Class. 1962... So in X-Men 3 he is 62 years old? I guess you can chalk that one up to being a mutant.

     

    Hey, maybe hank had a temorary cure or an image inducer for X2?

  9. Kingdom of Champions expanded character sheets.

    Re: Kingdom of Champions expanded character sheets.

     

    I recently picked up a copy of Strike Force and learned a lot of those character were not fully written up either, so here are a few to start:

     

    p40 - Napalm http://home.comcast.net/~mathewignash/PDFs/NAPALM.pdf

    p40 - Defender http://home.comcast.net/~mathewignash/PDFs/DEFENDE1.pdf

    p51 - Charade http://home.comcast.net/~mathewignash/PDFs/CHARADE.pdf

    p59 - Power Lord http://home.comcast.net/~mathewignash/PDFs/POWERLOR.pdf

     

    None of these writeups had any real disadvantages section, so I had to write up what I inferred from what was there. Mutants got DF. Married characters for DNPCs or "In Love with" Psych Lims. I gave Power Lord the same vulnerabilities as his father Overlord.

  11. How much damage done "the chair" do?

    in Champions

    Posted

    I'm just converting a character from fiction, and wanted to figure out how much defense he has. He is depicted surviving an electric chair execution without seemingly taking any damage (I'd addume not even much stun, since he doesn't seem phased a bit), so the question is how much damage does an electric chair execution do? I'd addume at a minimum at least enough to do double a normal human's BODY on average in a single attack right? So a minimum of 6D6 RKA, no range, no KO? More maybe?

    from: http://www.herogames.com/forums/showthread.php/68869-The-Classic-Justice-League-starting-members-on-350-points?p=2119889#post2119889

    see the following VPP Slot:

     

    0 Super Hearing 14) Clairsentience (Hearing Group), +2 to PER Roll, MegaScale (1" = 1 km; +¼), Mobile (+1); Extra Time (Full Phase, Only to

    Activate, Delayed Phase, -½), Limited Power Affected by Adjustments as an EC (-¼), Limited Power Not in the presence of

    Kryptonite or red solar radiation (-¼) Real Cost: 24 5 END

     

    I don't think this would work in my case, because we have stablished that he didn't hear sound, he heard the the electrical impulse. Also, I don't think the Kryptonite thing counts in this setting. There were only 2 episodes of this series with Kryptonite, not enough to count as a disad.

  13. How to do one of Superman's powers in Champions...

    A bit of an obscure one, but I wanted to write up an accurate Superman character sheet based on the George Reeves Superman TV series. One thing that completely stumped me was his ability to follow phone messages. YOu see in one episode he finds that a criminal boss has a private direct phone line from his hideout to where he's keeping hostages. So Superman has the police inspector pick up the phone and count numbers out loud. Meanwhile Superman takes out and follows by using his super hearing to listen to the phone line and "hear" the speech. Obviously this is a take on the old wives-tale that you can hear a telephone conversation by listening to the phone poll... but he does it. So what power do I need to give a Superman character to let him do this? Simply a discriminator ranged "detect phone conversation" based on hearing?

     

    4th or 5th edition rules please on your power build.

  14. 250 Point Superhero Generator

    Re: 250 Point Superhero Generator

     

    It would be neat if something even more random automated could be made up. Something that just kept adding stats and powers to a character under they added up to 250 points. It would add stats, and try to make at least one attack power, one defense power, and one movement power.

  18. What's *your* superpower?

    Re: What's *your* superpower?

     

    I can enrage women at will. I think its uncontrolled Mind Control with one command "Attack me for no reason." Just 3d6 of it.

     

    I do the clock thing too. Always wake up 2 minutes before it goes off. Drives my wife nuts, which is when the first power kicks in.

  21. Is there a running thread for minor corrections on old books?

    Re: Is there a running thread for minor corrections on old books?

     

    402 - Mind Games

    p20, Soulfire's Killing Strike should cost 4 points, not 5. He should have DF "Detects as a mutant" for 10 points.

     

    450 - Champions

    pC59, The Tombstone Kid's Telekinesis should cost 20 points, not 13.

    pC60, Mosquito's REC should cost 4 points, not 0. His EB should cost 20 points, not 30.

    Re: The Ms Champions Universe contest

     

    So those of us who never went to 6th edition get all the fun?

     

    Also, I think the 5th edition character Overdrive from VV&V had one of the highest COM and PRE stats I've seen in a while, 130 COM and 70 PRE when he sets his Multipower right, but he's a guy. Still, with those stats he could win.
