As suggested above, it could be modled as an RKA vs ECV, Does Body. Easiest way to do it probably. Also, an Ego Attack Does Body Continuous or a high enough result with Mental Illusions could do it. The MI would be "You're having a heart attack," does stun and body, for a total of Ego + 30. If permitted by the GM and assuming 42 points of effect from the MI, it would inflict a 2d6 NND Does Body per phase until the victim made his break-out roll or died.

The Wildcards series of books explained all Super Powers as manifestations of psionics, and they're the closest to a "realistic" super-hero setting out there. If he pays the points and you don't mind having someone with Desolidification in the game, no problem.

Mine hasn't.

A: Get your humor detector repaired. B: You specified "Something original, that hasn't been done in the comics before." That's what you got. You're welcome.

Re: Need help with an upcoming campaign... IT'S NOT SUCH A WONDERFUL LIFE Your heroes see how much happier and more successful the personal and profesional lives of their villain counterparts are than their own. Furthermore, the heroes discover that the vilainous activities of their counterparts have ended world hunger, cured major diseases, eliminated countless menaces to society, and generally made the world far better for everyone. Your heroes attempts to stem the villainy of their counterparts leads to the threat of global economic colapse, mass starvation, and world war. Once they return to their own Earth, the heroes must ask themselves; Do they have the courage to embrace Evil?

You could use a VPP, with limited type of powers: Egyptian Magical Creature Summons only (probably worth -1). Then have KS: Egyptian Mythology or Power Skill: Egyptian magic as the control skill. That way you could write up as many different types of Summon as you felt like, subject to GM approval. It would be a fairly expensive construct, but very effective.

Strongly agreed as to the usefulness of thugs. I'd add that a group like this can make for a fun one-shot or mini-series if your PCs are tired of playing on the white hat side of the fence. Once ran a short comedy campaign where the PCs were members of Thugs R' Us, a villain team lead by a cyborg female mind-controller ("Dona Matrix"). Went well. Most memorable out of character quote: "Have you noticed how much less property damage we're causing as the bad guys?"

Some great story hooks here. I'm deffinitely stealing this group.

Either of the methods you mentioned would work, as would a very high CON. Put the CON high enough compared to BOD and he'll die before he gets stunned or passes out.

Hermione; female form of Hermes (Mercury). Also: Mercurial, Merry, Mercy Or just go with something completely unrelated to her powers.

It works even better as Flight, Only On A Surface, Physical Manifestation (USPDB, p.100). The term "Visable Manifestation" was my mistake. "Mister Summons a 97 Toyota Corolla Guy" might have purchased a vehicle with an AI and HRRH for the transmitter to call it. That's a point efficient way to represent a number of vehicles in films and comics, and fairly intuitive in play as well. If it is a specific real car that appears instantly through some kind of teleport gate we might have to use summon to represent it (which gets us back to this debate). OddHat Wrote: My position is that I agree with the rules as published There I was refering more generally to the rules for summon as layed out in FREd.

As many as the GM chooses to throw at you, just as as many people can steal your car as the GM chooses to have steal it. As I said many times in this thread and the other. I also think that this is a case where the situation is best handled with house rules; For what it was actually meant to do from the description in the text, summon isn't broken. OddHat Wrote: Honestly I'd say so as well. OTOH damn if I'm giving point breaks on such an easilly abused power. If the PC wants a point break for his motorcycle, let him buy a multipower slot with extra running and the Visable Manifestation limit from USPD. Hugh, I'd rather not get personal with another adult in a debate over game rules. Now apparently you feel that I already have, which was not my intention. The passage you quoted was not any kind of attack on you. That said, Visable Manifestation is a perfectly valid way of representing many types of summons, from Green Lantern's Lions that you refferenced earlier, to Johnny Blaze's Fire Cycle, to many of Doctor Fate's creations and on down the line. Buying extra running to represent a vehicle has been around forever in Champions. If you'd like a "summon" for a realistic vehicle that doesn't use the summon power, one example might be a car with an AI that responds to a radio signal; the AI then drives the car to the Summoner. Other types of construct could certainly work as well. If the Player wants to use Summon, generally he'd best be prepared to pay the points the rules demand, unless his GM's house rules say differently. I cut the rest of this. I do not pretend to read your mind, and it looks to me like you're not that good at reading mine. My position is that I agree with the rules as published, and that house rules are enough to fix things to your taste in your own campaign. In mine I certainly would take a very close look at someone asking for point breaks on summon for many of the uses suggested in these threads, and I'd rule against most (but not all) of the breaks that have been suggested here and a few of those uses (no summoning Tony Blair, but I'd let the PC summon Talkie Toaster). Those would be my house rules, and I've explained my reasons; your house rules are your affair. OddHat Wrote: The questions are always "How much of a game effect will it have?" and "What is the in game effect?" If you want a steal-able and thus cheaper cycle, maybe you'd be better off building it using a different construct. Letting you build it with summon and giving you point breaks for doing so invites serious abuse down the road. For many uses to which summon is put, there are valid and simple constructs that work just as well or better, as discussed above.

This is a good point, and from the book and Steves answers I'd say it's the GMs call. Personally I'd allow "Johny Makes-Stuff-Out-Of-Fire Guy" to create/summon a new Fire Bike as soon as his next phase came up after the old one was destroyed. Seems fair; lose the device, lose an action. "Billy Steals-Things-Via-Telleportation Man" I might make wait to the next scene. On the other hand, I'd probably give JMSOOFG some troubles related to having fire-gadgets that I wouldn't give to BSTVTM. Common sense call; when points are spent or saved it shoud mean something, and the advantages and disadvantages of a special effect should ballance out.

Note: All of Elvis' HAs do 12d6+the appropriate advantages, unless you've dropped that rule in your games. I thought Wu could use a friend.

Personality: The King wanted to be a hero, and isn't all that comfortable as a merc. On the other hand, he loves the fighting, and he likes the company. He'd like to "go legit," but he's not willing to do jail time for one or two little mistakes. The King feels challenged by other martial artists, and will do anything he can to show them up. He feels a deep bond of friendship with other followers of Elvis. The King thinks that he's an expert on China, Martial Arts, and Music. He isn't. Quote:"One fo' the money..." Background: Elvis impersonator Watson Davis loved two things in this world: Hong Kong Martial Arts Movies and The King! Week after week he watched those movies, and when his meta-genes activated he gained his second fondest wish! He could do anything, ANYTHING those Hong Kong Heroes did! He'd be rich! Famous! He'd be Elvis Two, Back For Seconds! Sometimes things don't work out that way. Stompin' some bank robbers the way Elvis would, a bank guard insulted The New King's Elvis Tribute Uniform! Kung Fu Elvis couldn't put up with that, and smacked the guard a bit too hard. Took his head clean off. After that the cops came, and the Southern Knights, and now Kung Fu Elvis is on the run. Kung Fu Elvis sees Enforcers Inc. as a temporary gig, a way to make some money and kick some ass, and eventually to get back into a position where he can once again walk on his blue suede shoes back into the hearts of his adoring public. Powers/Tactics: The King can use any one 60 point MP slot (rc 40) and one or two minor slots (rc20 or less) at any given time. Normally he'll keep his runing and clinging active for mobility and use one of his many HAs to take down a foe. If he starts getting hit, he'll switch to Passin' Like The Wind. His Gliding is effectively super-acrobatcs (note the position shift). If overmatched he'll keep away from a foe and use Kung Fu Throwin' Stuff to try to take them down. Also note that his Armor and KB re. are nerfed if grabbed or entangled. He is aware of this, and will do everything he can to avoid those situations, including a STR boosted dive for cover. GM's call as to whether a multiple power attack that includes a grab will be applied against his armor before it's nerfed. Campaign Use: Kung Fu Elvis is the nightmare of every serious Martial Artist. Character created with Hero Designer (version 1.47)

I have very mixed feelings about most of the Uber-Villains (esp. Takofanes and Doctor Destroyer) from CKC. Takofanes has a fantastic background, but is absurdly overpowered, to the point where achieving his goal of wiping out all life on Earth should come down to waking up one morning and declaring "Doh! 1d6RKA Penetrating Continuous Uncontrolled Megascale O-End Transdimensional! There, that's done. Time for a nice cup of tea." He's great for the threat "out there", but almost un-useable in play. Destroyer is similarly ovepowered, and his goal of taking over the world in the least practical manner possible is just silly. "Political manipulation? Building up support among the people followed by a series of millitary victories and coups until I hold power? No, better to pose, posture, randomly blow up a city, hide for a decade and then declare that it was all part of my Master Plan." He'd be a fun Doctor Doom knock off if he were powered down to the point where a hero group could reasonably chase him off, but as written he's only useable as a background character or as part of an NPC dominated campaign ender. I'm a big fan of Demon. A few tweaks to make them an Aum Divine Truth Mystic-Religious cult and they can be truly scary without being unplayable. I usually incorporated almost all the magic-oriented villain groups into Demon. Invictus was a great NPC, especially if you played up his political folk hero aspect before the PCs realized just how corrupt he was. I liked most of the villain teams, tweaked appropriately, especially PSI. The newest version of PSI is quite good.

If "general population" doesn't make a difference in game play, it doesn't make a difference in cost. We've both cited that rule more than once. The question isn't "How many people out there could steal my summoned creature," it's "How often is my summoned creature likely to get stollen in play." Any GM who's going to steal your summons at all is just as likely to steal your Demon with a mind controlling sorcerer as he is your toaster with a toast-hungry villain. As all of this is outside of the rules as written anyway, a simple deal with the GM to make your loyal summoned toaster exclusively obedient to you fixes any problem. "Yes you Captain Toast Master and you alone shall benefit from the complete loyalty of your army of bread making appliances." Honestly I'd say so as well. OTOH damn if I'm giving point breaks on such an easilly abused power. If the PC wants a point break for his motorcycle, let him buy a multipower slot with extra running and the Visable Manifestation limit from USPD. Or in Captain Toast Master's case, he can buy a transformation attack: Bread into Toast. The questions are always "How much of a game effect will it have?" and "What is the in game effect?" If you want a steal-able and thus cheaper cycle, maybe you'd be better off building it using a different construct. Letting you build it with summon and giving you point breaks for doing so invites serious abuse down the road.

Heh. I'm good with Japanese and Chinese pronunciations; spent my twenties wandering around Asia (those who can't spell, teach). Everything else I look up. Thank God for Google.

Yup, that's as it's intended. "Milosh" is a valid aternate spelling. "Milos" came from a web site on Romany names, and "Fearon" is the family name of a gypsy boy killed while housebreaking in the UK a few months ago.

Actually, FREd p.143, under Summon Specific Being, specifically cautions against allowing the summoning of Officer Stumpy (or Tony Blair) unless you've already located them by "some other means." It doesn't look like it was intended for summoning anything much beyond spirits of the dead, and doesn't directly address issues like always getting the same summoned toaster or demon at all. All of it comes the GMs call, which for a power as potentially unballancing as Summon makes perfect sense.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Champions Universe: Through the 'Ages' I'm quite a fan of tarnished silver myself. "Realistic" iron age settings where everyone is an angst filled drug addled psychotic are boring as hell. It's an angry teenagers vision of the adult world, the X-men's paranoia carried one step further. I don't think it would be possible to run a campaign in that kind of setting for long; certainly I couldn't do it, except as a comedy mini-series. OTOH, realistic campaigns at the Wild Cards / Hong Kong Supers Without Spandex level have been some of my favorites. Personal taste and all that. So are you going to give us some guidelines for your Tarnished Silver Setting?

Oh well. Fixed it as best I can. The attachment is still screwy though.

There's always a chance that your summoned minions will be mind controlled away from you. In many games, it's every bit as likely as having a punk steal your summoned motorcycle while you're searching the villains lair. No sane GM is going to give you points back for "minions might be mind controlled." If you do manage to brow beat your GM into giving you the point break for "someone might steal my BatToaster," that's all in the house rules. I'd say the stink of munchkinism is fairly high on this one.

Often disguised. Street clothes. Personality: Milos was a petty criminal with a grudge against the world when he "died," and a monster when he came back. He's matured over the last half century, and now takes a calm, methodical approach to murder. He continues to kill because it's what he knows, and he's very, very good at it. Quote:"May I speak to you sir?""You think I haven't seen that trick before boy?" Background: Murder should never be easy, but it was. When his father took him on a raid of the townies home, Milos was happy, happy and proud to get what his people needed from the outsiders. Then the townie shot him, shot his father as his father turned to flee. His father died. So did Milos. Three days later he came back, locked in a drawer, helpless, trapped. A townie heard his screams. That townie died. Now, nearly sixty years later, Milos still looks much the same as he did the day he came back. At first he killed the outsiders for vengence, and was killed more than once himself, both by outsider police and outsider "heroes." After his power became clear to his clan, they asked him, begged him to leave. Stealing was one thing, but cold murder day after day was more than they could stand. Milos wandered far, and slowly lost much of his hatred and contempt for the outsiders. He never stopped killing them. For the last forty years he's been a mercenary and a contract killer. He's been everywhere, done everything. He sees Enforcers Inc. as another source of contracts, and likes the professionalism displayed by the core members. Powers/Tactics: Milos has been killing people since World War Two, and he's good at it. He'll avoid open confrontation where he can, prefering to use stealth, shadowing, and disguise to follow the target, quietly walk up to them, attract their attention, and look into their eyes. Once a victim is looking in his eyes, Milos will hit them with his continuous Evil Eye (multiple power attack) phase after phase, keeping them paralyzed until they're unconcious or dead. If contracted for a kidnapping, or ordered not to kill, Milos will simply paralyze his victim. Milos has a strong commitment to the mercenaries code, always putting the mission above all else and never breaking a contract. He's more than willing to take younger Mercs and teach them what he knows. He also has a soft spot for gypsies and "outsiders," and has been known to give them "help," often by killing those he sees as their tormentors. Campaign Use: NPC killer and scary opponent for the low-ego PCs. Character created with Hero Designer (version 1.47)
