You really need to recheck your math.  15 STR costs 5 points not 10, and 48 points for Armor with a limitation would give 20 PD/20 ED, not 10 PD/10 ED.

Mattea Leoni

 

Mattea Leoni is the secret identity of the Daemon of Steel City. She is the estranged youngest daughter of Don Alphonso 'Big Al' Leoni the former crime boss of the Leoni Crime Family. Her brother Cesar Leoni has since taken over for their father after his conviction for attempted murder against Power. She wanted to attend the party at Heritage Hotel in the 'Case of the of the Pampered Princess' but her brother forbade her from going. Since then Mattea moved out of the Leoni Estate to further her vigilantism. 

Have you already done her costumed identity?

Having tried to mess around with Fabrica, I'm once again in awe of how *easy* you make doing these look.  Excellent work.

I am awesomely reminded of Inspector Gadget...

Stolen.  I have a villain named Gorilla Warfare, and that's almost exactly as I pictured him.  

Awesome.  Keep up the good work.  

Chris.

Barricade is nifty.  Is that a force field or another person-shape?

Chris.

Environmental Specialist?  Speedster?  Communications/Operations/Computer specialist?

I had similar concerns when I was tinkering with a Team Knight Rider idea.  Each vehicle had a similar central build, with different purposes and special abilities.  Tank, shapeshift, invisibility, speedster, force field, etc..

Master of Orion.

I'm geek for all the techy goodness.

Planning to run a convention game in October (LoneStarGameExpo.com).   I'm planning to streamline the provided character sheets to make things easy for new players.  Captain America was used to provide an well known example with medium complexity.  Any critiques or clarity issues between the following two character sheets? 

The biggest problem with this "power", is that as soon as someone gets in range, they can't hit ANYBODY, not just you.

If you just want them to miss you, chuck all this and buy some DCV levels.

Chris.

Well that was easy. So I guess I'm switching...For those interested in the older images you can still see them on my photbucket account. I just can't share them on the forum.

Bummer that they did that.  Have you tried DeviantArt?  I haven't, so I know nothing about their policies.  Just have seen lots of pics there.

Shockfist

 

Crime in Steel City doesn't stand a chance now the Shockfist has come to town.

To make an interesting twist on this guy - the bare arm is the indestructable, superstrong, electrically charged one - he has to armor the rest of himself to keep up with it.

Chris.

I'm trying to find the right build Advantages for a a tornado like effect.  It has three powers: Energy Blast, Telekinesis and Change Environment.  Area of Effect is added to the first two, and Constant to the first, so all powers have identical effects: AOE Constant.

The power(s) are intended to turn on and stay on, centered on her, and moving with her until she decides to turn them off.  Do they need to be Uncontrolled?  Is it just a Multiple Power Attack ?  Is there some other mechanic or method to do this I'm not thinking of?

Chris.

PS: This isn't about making it an Elemental Control or Unified Power, that's handled.

You really don't wanna get me started...  I *live* for villains like these.  Most of them are just punny names, some are... worse.

I got this installed and working after a few false starts.

The hour or so I had available, someone was running a makeshift 'game' involving finding people and reading their name/description.

How busy is the server(s)?  

Sounds like something that would be Jammed with Spells...  Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Chris.

The MP would be a much cleaner way to do the Variable Advantage, IMO.  Easier to present the new player what the differences are and why/when to use one over the other.  Cutting Beam, Wide Beam, Low Power Beam, Vari-Beam, Sniper Beam...

Chris.

Since you specifically mentioned Complications...

Phys Lim: Can by hit by HtH attacks from 8m away (Very Common, Slight) 15 points.

Chris.

An idea I've toyed with in terms of 'dynamic', was to add a minor penalty for repeating the same action in a following phase.  It was born out of LARP fighting (Amtgard specifically), where if I survived you making the same attack twice in a row, I saw an opening, and the next time, I used it against you.

In theory, maybe it's just results in describing your strikes as punch, elbow, knee, but maybe it also leads to punch, double-fisted overhand smash Haymaker, Grab and slam into the nearest wall or object.

Chris.

You could go with "Belt" instead of Cape.  What is complicated about the belt items? 

If you're using HA AP instead of a KA, you could either put AP directly on his STR, or buy an AP Blast No Range.

Nice.  Is the letter a new ability to add in the software?

Our group accidentally wound up in that for a game - literal Fantasy Champions.  The GM had a similar idea while running Champions...  The San Francisco Sentinels were squaring off against Naga, a magical villain attempting to open a portal.  At the same time, one of our tech-based enemies activated an alien artifact.  And somebody rolled an 18.

GM:  Right...  Okay, for next week's session, come back with 150 point Fantasy Hero versions of your characters, as we travel to Saint Francis on the Bay.

Frostbite the Ice Blaster became the wizard, Moondrake our martial artist walked through almost unchanged, becoming the party Fighter.  As to my character Black Widow, he said, "We have the mage, the fighter, I guess that makes you the thief."

The session turned out to be a blast.  As a one-shot where we confronted the Storm King to break his power (and return us to normal) we didn't face the same challenges that a full campaign would.  But it is certainly doable.

Chris.

I'd say IIF as well; the nature of its powers cannot be determined until it's used.  The belt cannot also be easily taken away, especially if its power is in use.  An thirdly, GMs are likely to argue taking a lesser limitation and paying more for it.

Chris.

Echoing the above, 4E and 5E are 95+% the same.  6E drops to about 90%.  If you're familiar with one, you're familiar with the others.  Biggest changes are mostly in point costs for powers; once you're playing it doesn't make much difference.

From memory (trust that as you will), the dogifghting rules in APG 1 are the same as from 4E/5E.  A lot of the APG stuff is previously written items that didn't make it into the main rulebook.

I've been working bit by bit on my Masters of Orion space campaign.  One of its planned features was to separate a lot of the combat mechanics, to spread it across /players/ so that everyone had something to do in ship to ship combat.

Pilot: Moves the ship.

Tactical: Assigns ship-based levels.

Sensors: PER rolls to lock on enemies.

Missiles: Makes Attack Rolls.

Gunner: Makes Attack Rolls

Weapons: Makes Damage Rolls.

Countermeasures: ECM, Point Defense.

Engineering: END management, Pushing.

Shields: Shield/Armor damage.

Damage Control: Repairs
