Re: House Rule: Banning Multipowers & Elemental Controls?

Re: By request: Gravitar vs. Ultimates Yeah, Pretty much.

Re: Opinion: EuroStar To return to something closer to the original topic, I don't think Pantera ever really fit as a member of Eurostar. I think that she'd be a fine solo-villian or pick-up team Mercenary. Or else as a pocket mastermind who spends the first half of the story arc playing dumb for the PCs. In Eurostar she's kind of distracting, and somehow makes the team feel more generic.

Re: Where did the idea that Bricks are usually slow come from? Fair enough Trebuchet, I want to know what speed and dexterity you'd put the rest of the FF at for comparison purposes.

Re: Where did the idea that Bricks are usually slow come from? In both my experience and in published characters Bricks usually deal the same damage as their teamates, have comparible defences, The worst mobility, and the worst ability to deal with a more mobile foe. How is a non-flying brick suppossed to deal with flyers? Throwing things puts you at such a CV penalty it's not a sollution.

Re: Where did the idea that Bricks are usually slow come from? Sure, with the caveat that the last punch is usually the first or second. The Hulk is super fast and super agile.

Re: Where did the idea that Bricks are usually slow come from? No One Dodges the Hulk regularly. Not Captain America, Not Spiderman, Not Namor, Noone. I've seen comics where he fights them all.

I've been thinking about it and in the Comics Bricks are much more likely to be fast than to be slow. How did it become common wisdom in the HERO community that Bricks are slow & clumsy, is it Ogre having the lowest speed of all the sample characters in early (at least in 3rd I don't have access to 1st or 2nd) edditions? Does the Blob have some stange hold on everyones imagination?

Re: Shazam! When one forms abilities are a subset of the others, I prefer OHID to Multiform. Thus, Captain Marvel/Billy Batson:OHID, Captain Marvel/Rick Jones:Multiform.

Re: Champions Characters DEX Inflation Why?

Re: where would I find Sentinel and Justice Squad write ups? Two of the Sentinels are in Hidden Lands. Prince Marus is an Atlantean flying brick, and Archon is an Empyrean flying brick.

Re: Champs Worldwide: Whaddya want?

Re: The Champions Do they suck? I agree, that makes the most sense but wouldn't such a radical epiphany be worth making explicit in his background? Also imho with that explination his CvK makes more sense strong than total.

Re: The Champions Do they suck? I have no objection to Nighthawk's Science-Ninja-Hat. Witchcraft is a little too fragile; counting knockback a 12d6 attack is going to pretty reliably KO her in one hit. (and her DCV is no great shakes either) That can't be too fun if you're using her as a PC. My big problem is Ironclad, His background says that he voluntered for Military service seeking a Combat position, and latter sought out work in a Gladitorial arena; but his Disadvantages include a Total CvK.

Re: Are there ever too many points?

Re: Skills to represent a forensic scientist Ms. Cristos has too many knowledge and science skills whose domains are solely subsets of her other skills. SS: Medicine at at least the 8- level would be more appropriate than some of her existing skills. If she were a PC I would certainly suggest raising her INT.

Re: Skills to represent a forensic scientist From the descriptions in FREd I'd say That Criminology Forensic Medicine Would be fully sufficient; if you wanted more you could supplement them with: Deduction Bureaucratics City Knowledge Profesional Skill: Law Officer Though the last two could be chosen as Everyman skills.

Re: Minor question on Armored character I suppose you could also put some of your dex in a multipower with the armor.

Re: GGU NPCs For Review But the text is white on white now, with the boards at their default colors.

Re: GGU NPCs For Review Please post your characters in nonwhite text in the future. also Buck fever probably doesn't deserve a bigger limitation on his Pheremone powers to need an inhibitor collar to turn them off than he'd get for being unable to turn them off at all.

Re: "You're not a REAL Hero!"

Isn't the whole purple gang taken together suppossed to be less powerfull than Kinetik?
