  1. Here's another alternative.

     

    41    I'm The Doctor... Or will be if this regeneration works out!: Regeneration (1 BODY per Turn), Can Heal Limbs, Resurrection - END=0

     

    I would also suggest looking at APG1 regarding the new applications for Universal besides just translation.

     

    See examples of it in this rookie version of Mr. Fantastic.

     

    Why Universal Scientist?

  2. Some of the names made me think of characters in a Martial Arts Movie.  Typhoon made think of the Greek Mythology character.  Also Typhoon made me think of a person who could control the weather and can create hurricanes and typhoon  Maybe Typhoon instead of having legs, his lower half mimics a tornado.

  3. What can I do to improve this doctor who has a regenerative healing factor.  I am making him a four hundred point character but will go over if it is needed.  What do you think of his Regenerative Durability (The power to possess increased durability as a result of accelerated healing)?  What it be to much if he had the ability to after he died to come back say 10-12 time with each time he come back with a new look and a 50% chance of becoming the opposite sex of what the character was before the character died?

     

    What would be some suggestion you can give me on setting up his history since I want to one day `post his complete sheet including his history and looks.

  4. Are you are trying to recreate the gates from the TV/movie canon, or are you just getting the game mechanics down for how the concept would work?

     

    If the former, then you should probably up the Increased Mass significantly.  

     

    The second series, Stargate Atlantis, introduced the Puddle Jumper, a small spacecraft capable of transiting a stargate.   I don't know how official it is, but the Stargate wiki says a Jumper is a 4.7m diameter x 8m long cylinder, and can carry 20 people.

     

    If you go by dimensions, such a vehicle is 9-10 steps up on the Vehicle Size Table, and masses 50-100 tons.   This may seem overly heavy, but it does fit with canon. There was an episode where a Jumper ditched in the ocean, and started slowly sinking, meaning its average density is greater than seawater.   A 4.7m diameter x 8m cylinder displaces ~140 tons of water, so even 100 tons might be light, depending on how much of the overall volume of the Jumper ins't watertight and/or solid.

     

    Even if we ignore the sinking issue as 'dramatic license' on the part of the writers, declare the volume of the vehicle to be cosmetic, and just go with the STR required to lift the 20 HERO system people (2000kg) to determine where on the Vehicle Size Table to place the Jumper, we still need to go 5 steps up, meaning a 3200Kg vehicle.   Any lighter, and we'd be in danger of the passengers being able to pick the Jumper up and carry it off, which seems very much not supported by the shows as a possibility.  

     

    So a stargate would require either 1024x or 2048x Increased Mass to transit a Puddle Jumper and passengers, if we're going with the dimensions and buoyancy line of reasoning to establish mass, or 64x Increased Mass (at a minimum) if we're going with the much looser "ignore the tables, but it still didn't look light enough for a dozen Marines to pick up or shift much" line of reasoning.

     

    Now, it is possible that Pegasus Galaxy gates have a much higher mass limit than Milky Way Galaxy gates.  They do look a lot slicker, like a more developed technology.  Also supporting this theory is how the gate bridge* was used in the show.   I don't recall them ever taking a Jumper through a Milky Way side gate, so maybe they couldn't?

     

     

    *in Stargate Atlantis, they established a gate bridge between the two galaxies that forwarded travelers through a series of gates without the necessity of materializing in between, except at the midpoint station.  At midpoint, one transferred from the Pegasus gate system to the Milky Way gate system.

    I was making the Milky Way Stargate.  I had forgotten about the Puddle Jumpers being able to go through a Stargate.  The Stargate can be used as time machine when the matter transmission stream passed through a solar flare.

  5. I would change the Usable By Other to Usable On Others as specified in the Gate Limitation.

     

    Also, you could dramatically reduce the range on this. If you are working from the basis of the Movie/TV series, the Milky Way gates were able to connect to any other gate in the galaxy directly. The Milky Way galaxy is only 100,000 light years across. According to the MegaScale table (CC110) that's +5 1/2. I would buy it as Teleport 1m MegaScale 100,000 light years (+5 1/2). 

    How about it now ?

     

    20    Stargate:  Teleportation 1m, x8 Increased Mass, Usable On Other (+1/4), Constant (+1/2), Area Of Effect (6m Radius; +1/2), MegaScale (1m = 100,000 lightyears; +5 1/2) (124 Active Points); Extra Time (1 Minute, -1 1/2), OAF Bulky (-1 1/2), Can Only Teleport To  Fixed Locations (Another Stargate; -1), Requires A Roll (KS: Stargates Skill roll; -1/2), Gate (-1/2), Gestures (Dialing Another Stargate Coordinates; -1/4) 12

  6. Here is my version of the Stargate.

     

    45    Stargate:  Teleportation 20m, x8 Increased Mass, Usable By Other (+1/4), Area Of Effect (6m Radius; +1/2), Constant (+1/2), MegaScale (1m = 1 million lightyears; +5 3/4) (280 Active Points); Extra Time (1 Minute, -1 1/2), OAF Bulky (-1 1/2), Can Only Teleport To  Fixed Locations (Another Stargate; -1), Gate (-1/2), Requires A Roll (KS: Stargates Skill roll; -1/2), Gestures (Dialing Another Stargate Coordinates; -1/4) 28

  7. Could some one draw my character via a drawing or if possible draw it using hero machine.  He stands 6'5" tall and he weighs 360 lbs. The overlapping bony plate that he has look like the scales of a pangolin

    tumblr_lk6d54WKwI1qiapgro1_500.jpg

     

     

    Desert Snake is an extremely tall human male.  He is muscular, sleek muscles rippling under his grey overlapping bony plates.  His face is rectangular in shape.  His nose has an upward tilt to it.  His eyes are grey in color.

  8.  

    Yeah, and according to some rather popular site, ninja are mammals. (NB: "Ultimate Bear" is a HERO source book I'd buy)

     

    All those apocryphal quotes still don't mention any kind of criterion. Let's say I'm mud-wrestling Cindy Crawford. Now a swarm of mosquitoes happens to drop by, I get stung seven times, she only once (she's perfectly, deliciously covered in mud, I, like the legendary Siegfried, have some patches of skin uncovered). Saying that I'm "seven times more attractive than Cindy Crawford" would technically be correct, albeit in a very limited way.

     

    Bears have an incredible sense of smell because the area of their brain that manages the sense of smell, called the olefactory bulb, is at least 5 times larger than the same area in human brains even though a bear’s brain is one third the size.

  9. Watch the Neat Geo Wild show Ultimate Bear and they will say in that that I know that a bear has a sense of smell 7x better then a blood hound in that .   Also this site mention it too http://channel.nationalgeographic.com/articles/grizzly-bear-facts/

     

    A polar bear's sense of smell is acute, and it is the most important sense for detecting prey on land. A polar bear can most likely smell a seal from more than 1 km (0.6 mi.) away and 1 m (3 ft.) under the snow.

     

    For example, the average dog's sense of smell is 100 times better than a humans. A blood hound's is 300 times better. A bear's sense of smell is 7 times better a bloodhoundThat means the sense of smell of a bear is 2,100 times better than humans!

     

    A bear’s nose consists of hundreds of tiny muscles they control with amazing dexterity that can be likened to a human manipulating their fingers. The result is so precise they can smell animal carcasses from a distance of 20 miles upwind.

  10. Is there any character I could look at have the senses of say animals found in the Amazon Rainforests?  If there is not then what things can I look to help me out?  Would the Bestiary for the Born to Be Wild book help me out?

     

    How would would do the bear's sense of smell which IIRC allows a bears to smell a carcass 6 miles away?  I know that a bear has a sense of smell 7x better then a blood hound.  Would a +15 for range modifier for normal smell be a good way to simulate I the bear's sense of smell?

  11. How do I convert D&D 3.5 to Heroes?  How would I convert the special abilities of 3.5 D&D monsters into Heroes?  I need help in find a site I once found that convert D&D to Heroes.  I think it might be 3.0 D&D it convert but it would help me out some.  I now that Surbrooks site has some feats from D&D converted into Heroes.

  12. I am making have to transform to use her power so that she can have a normal life when she wants to. So what would be best to go if I want when she changes into Hervor she is wearing her super hero costume like with Captain Marvel?

  13. There are many possible great names for this character. Schloss (German: Castle) comes to mind. I'd stick with your early choice' date=' Hervor, and have her pursued by Volund, aka Wayland the Smith, who believes she is the reincarnation of his runaway bride! Is she Buddhist? [/quote']What would happen if she was a Buddhist?

     

    How would I do a version of her that uses a potion to transform into her power form

     

    I know that she she went to college. She has done some beauty pageants when she was younger. I know she she one two beauty pageants as a toddler. She does like to party and shop. I would like her to enter some fitness and figure competitions. I would also like to do some fitness modeling. I would like her to learn some form of Hand-to-Hand Combat. How much money do think she would make from do fitness modeling and fitness and figure competitions? How much time would you see her spending on stay fit and in shape?

     

    I would love her to bulletproof.

     

    Does she sound like a Mary Sue character?

     

    I am thinking she dresses like a Viking. The only other way I would go with her superhero outfit is to modify Thundra's outfit. I do not want her wear an outfit like the following outfit the character below wears.53189857.jpg

  14. There are many possible great names for this character. Schloss (German: Castle) comes to mind. I'd stick with your early choice' date=' Hervor, and have her pursued by Volund, aka Wayland the Smith, who believes she is the reincarnation of his runaway bride! Is she Buddhist? [/quote']What would happen if I made her Buddhist?

     

  15. I would like her superhero name to be a Germanic/Nordic style name.

     

    Her real name right now is Galadriel Distad. Her parents named after The Lady of Lórien from the LotRs. I am thinking that she needs golden hair to fit more with the name Galadriel.

     

    How about her hero name being Gundis which means battle maiden?
