Re: CU question The impression I got from remarks in CU and from Darren Watts here on the boards is that Vanguard, formerly of the Justice Squadron superteam, was the CU's Superman analog. Unfortunately he perished demolishing the asteroids that Dr. Destroyer was trying to crash into the United States. I guess we'll have to wait until Darren gets around to writing Silver Age Champions before we get to see him. Here's what Darren had to say about him: http://www.herogames.com/forums/showthread.php?p=451510

Re: Reality Storm When World Collide

Re: Ego Attack vs. AVLD As far as the "cheapness" of Ego Attacks, I consider the cost of further Advantages to be a balancing factor. For example, 8D6 Ego Attack (80 Base Points/ 80 Active Points) and 8D6 EB BOECV (40 BP/ 80 AP) cost the same, but the Ego Attack provides additional benefits; however, any other Advantages added to the BOECV construct cost only half as much.

Re: Fixin' what's broken - switching from d20 to HERO

Re: [Fifth Ed Conversion] Villainy Unbound: Phobos and Deimos Hey, Chad, how about reposting your 5E writeup for Lionslayer here? I know he was officially part of VOICE which is why you put him on that thread, but he did first appear in Villainy Unbound, so folks coming here might appreciate seeing him.

Re: Fixin' what's broken - switching from d20 to HERO Thia Halmades, welcome to our community. Please feel free to ask any questions or request input on any game issues. We're generally a pretty helpful bunch, and love to show off how much we know. A great many of us started out playing D&D/D20, and ultimately switched to HERO for much the same reasons that you have - that system didn't let us do everything we wanted to, and some of the ways it does things just didn't work for us. The current incarnation of HERO System really can do nearly anything you can think of, once you've gained sufficient savvy with it (and you can always ask for input from the vets here). IMHO that's partly the result of HEROphiles always pushing the game to its limits in terms of concepts to model... I sometimes think we take its "do anything" claim as a personal challenge. Now, as far as resources to ease your transition from D20 to HERO, there's actually a great deal available for free on the Internet, particularly involving D&D. You've already discovered Killer Shrike's exceptional website; but if I may suggest clicking on the link in my signature, below, and scrolling down to the "Dungeons and Dragons" listing, I'll think you'll find a lot of other useful material. Again, welcome.

Re: [Fifth Ed Conversion] Villainy Unbound: Phobos and Deimos As you can see from the preceding posts, Hero Games having disabled the HTML feature on their discussion boards has royally scrambled Scott Bennie's excellent 5E updates of his VU characters. However, all is not lost; I was able to reconstitute the writeups as they originally appeared, and Save them as a RTF Document file which preserves their formatting (and of course renders the writeups easily editable). With Mr. Bennie's gracious permission, I'm attaching that file here so that interested folks can continue to enjoy them. If anyone has any difficulty reading this file, please let me know. And don't forget to check out the HDC character files above on this thread. Thanks again, Scott.

Re: Chronicles of Gor Probably not by a woman, anyway.

Re: My thoughts on the Serenity RPG PDF lrojas, perhaps it would help start your personal Firefly adaptation to see good HERO writeups of a few characters from the series.

Re: Chronicles of Gor Care to look at HERO writeups for a Priest-King, a tarn and a sleen?

He’s the principle villain from the ep “How long is forever?†Warp is apparently a thief from the future who travels threw time to steal valuable artifacts. His foreknowledge of coming events makes him quite overconfident. He’s sure he will succeed because “history†says he succeeded and history cannot be changed (in his opinion) thus he is very condescending and dismissive to his opponents. Warp doesn’t come across as a very talented thief. He seems to rely on his technological superiority and gadgets, but I gave him some basic “thief†skills to round him out. Warp, for all his confidence, doesn’t seem to be very lucky. His plans are thwarted and his “Vortex regulator†damaged twice, once resulting in him and Starfire being misplaced in time with Warp turned into an old man, and finally Warp being reduced to an infant. Appearance: Warp is a tall slim man with an arrogant face, small mustache and constant smirk. He has a cultured accent and speaks in an educated, though condescending manner. He tends to dismiss his opponents as “delaying inevitable†and fights for his goal, little more. His armor is dull yellow with black arms and legs and matching open faced helmet. Powers: Warp uses a suit of high tech armor from 100 years in the future. It has several weapons systems and can generate a powerful defensive force field. The “Vortex Regulator†is a blue hemisphere set in the suit’s chestplate. It creates a wormhole threw time. Others can use the Wormhole and it stays open a few seconds after Warp uses it. The Regulator can be targeted in combat and if damage causes random temporal effects, such as aging Warp or sending the travelers to random locations in time. Given Warp’s misunderstanding of the nature of time travel, it doesn’t seem likely that he invented his time travel technology.

He is an animated marionette of unknown origin with the power (apparently magical) of transferring people’s souls into small puppet duplicates while their bodies act as his servants. The Puppet King plans on using his powers to permanently take over the Teen Titans and use them as his personal army to control the city. His plans go somewhat awry and two Titans escape (in the wrong bodies) to thwart his plans. The Puppet King’s controller is destroyed in the final battle and he reverts to being a normal, inanimate puppet. He is seen in the Titan’s trophy room in a later episode, gathering dust. Appearance: The Puppet King looks like a wooden marionette of a stylized European king, complete with a small crown. He doesn’t have strings, of course and has breathy, rather nasal voice. He tends to talk to himself and make grand speeches about his plans and power. He doesn’t seem to have fingers, but it doesn’t reduce his manual dexterity (I considered it artistic license so I have him no disadvantage for it). Powers: The Puppet King demonstrated few powers. He is a not alive so Life Support seemed reasonable and being made of wood would make him durable. His Transform appears to work against Spirit so is based on ECV. He first needs to create a puppet replica of the target (these replicas are very detailed, but that might be a matter of pride). When the target is near the replica and relatively helpless (He transforms that Titans when they are sleeping, later when Starfire and Raven are being held, but its arguable that this is in case it takes extra time for the transform to take effect so I did not give the power a limitation) and the target’s soul leaves their bodies and enters the puppets. The body remains animate and retains all physical and presumably mental powers. It can “think†but has no free will whatsoever, doing whatever the Puppet King orders. The victims are trapped in their puppet doubles, able to speak but not move. The Transform can be healed by using the King’s controller (A marionette control with embedded colored stones or gems) to reverse the ritual, or destroying it. If the puppet bodies are destroyed the Transformation becomes permanent (plot device in my opinion). The Puppet King doesn’t seem to have to close to enact the Transformation, so I gave him a ritual to target it mentally (Mind Scan). Also, if the controller is destroyed the magic that animates the Puppet King ceases to function.

Plasmus has proven itself able to take on the entire team, including splitting into four smaller, but almost as powerful duplicates of itself. When/If Plasmus is defeated he reverts to a normal human, an unnamed skinny fellow that seems quite horrified by his transformation in the brief moments we hear him speak since he quickly transforms into Plasmus when he is awake. Apparently he can only maintain a human form when asleep and is kept in suspended animation all the time as a result.

His shtick is Stage Magic. He has a wand that allows to him cast “spells†that can do just about anything his warped mind can come up with relating to stage magic. He’s done such things as shoot endless scarves out of his sleeves to entangle, pull monstrous animals out his hat and other somewhat corny but powerful tricks. He tends to mock his opponents and make one liners in combat. Mumbo is very frustrating opponent to fight due that and the fact he’s hard to hit. In his first and so far only, appearance was able to hold off most of the team before they figure out his weakness. Break his wand and his magic is completely undone. Mumbo has yet to turn up again and is most likely in prison. Mumbo Jumbo seems primarily motivated by greed, but he might have been hired by Fixit to distract the rest of the Titans while he kidnapped Cyborg.

He’s seems to be little more than red herring to get the Titans to the video store in the opening scene of the show and is swiftly captured and never seen again in later season. Control Freak’s major motivation his obsessive desire to make sure people are “right†about his particular obsessions (horror and science fiction movies). He expresses his ire against those that don’t know with is arcane remote control which seems to be able to animate objects into “creatures†that do his bidding. He animates movie poster, video tapes and other things into fairly effective combat creatures in the course of battle. The GM should improvise creature stats to give the players a good fight, but Control Freak is no major villain. Appearance: Control Freak looks every inch the couch potato. He’s overweight, has bad skin and wears a leather outfit vaguely reminiscent of a Klingon warrior. He stands out in a crowd, but would blend right in at say, a Star Trek convention. Control Freak is also surprisingly agile for his bulk and can move quickly.

That version of Terra would have some armor, more power tricks (and more powerful ones) and a Mind Link to Slade.

I didn't give Raven an EC because the best I could think of was "Soul Powers" and that could be just about anything really. One of my rules of thumb about Elemental Control is that there has to be a fairly common set of powers that can't be included. Raven could manifest just about any ability and call it a "Soul Power" since its basically magic. You could make a justification for giving her a VPP of "Soul Powers" but this write up has some of the powers she uses most frequently.

Cyborg is one my favorite characters on the show and I think this is a fair representation of him in the current season. I know he used to be an athlete of some sort, but I'm not sure just what sport and he seems to the groups techhead. I left out the holographic generators since they seemed to be a one time plot device, but I suppose that could be a justification for a rarely used Gadget Pool. The T car definitely seems to be "his" pointwise.

As the designated “comedy†relief for the team he hasn’t demonstrated allot of ability or skill compared to the rest of the Titans. Also I am fairly low power GM so I erred on the side of caution when stating him out. Basically Beastboy can assume ANY animal form, even extinct or alien animals (he has to know about them) and seems to get all their ability with few of their weaknesses. He has, for example, assumed marine forms on land without suffering for it. His disads are little scant as well, but actually come out so he had more points than I spent in this write up. Comments welcome.

The "unfamilakirt with Earth culture" limitation relfects her general naivete and the difficulty she has dealing with human foibles -- thus it's probably even more limtiing than the points say it shoudl be. Although it usually played for laughs (mustard as a beverage, accientally eating a ball of cotton) it can cause serious problems, especially in her dealing with the other Titans. Tamaranian is her native language and culture -- that's why she gets tamaranian for no points. There are some things about Star that I couldn't quite write up in the rules -- like how she could go without air in space but not underwater. I suppose it was useful for dramatic purpoises that Star can't breathe underwater in an episode that put Beast Boy in the spotlight. Star has not admitted to being in love with Robin, but there are too anay indications to list -- most notable her flustered (when Blackifre flirts with Robin) and violent (when Kitten forces Robin to date her) jealousy over him. In many respects this version of Starfire has as much in common with Lum, the heroine of Urusei Yatsura, as with her comic book inspiration.

Re: Completly at a loss Those writeups by nexus and Michael Hopcroft were originally posted using an HTML export template for the Hero Designer character creation software, designed for these discussion boards. Unfortunately when the board admins disabled the HTML feature, those templates became scrambled code like what you see above. I have developed a method for reconstituting such posts, although it may seem complicated to you: I'm registered on the discussion forums at RPGnet, which uses the same board software and still has HTML enabled. I Copy the raw code from the posts here, Paste them into the message display field, Preview the post (which recreates its original appearance), then Copy the result and Save it as a RTF Document file, which preserves the coding. Since that may sound intimidating, I took the liberty of doing this with those scrambled Teen Titans posts, including comments on them by their authors. I'm reasonably confident that Michael and nexus won't mind, but if either requests it I'll delete their writeups. For simplicity and clarity, I'm going to Paste the raw text of each writeup into a separate post - it won't look as pretty as the original HTML format, but it will be completely legible - and attach the appropriate DOC file, which preserves the original formatting, to the same post. Note that any writeup not specifically attributed to Michael Hopcroft was done by nexus. Also, here's a link to the original thread their work appeared in, with interesting discussion and several writeups of additional characters that are still legible, near the end of the thread: http://www.herogames.com/forums/showthread.php?t=22043 So, let's get started.
