Hello. I have been playing Champions since the boxed set. I heard about City of Heroes/Villains SO I got the game. How can there NOT be a Champions/Herogames Super group on the CHAMPION server? Well. I fixed that. Anyone who enjoys champions is Welcome to the group. You do not have to play champions to join but If you have a Champions Homage character or managed to create your character on the server. you are welcome to join. Look for Marc Ducorsky PS: If this is in the wrong thread, I am sorry.

Re: Online game:Who wants to buckle some swash? I have a character idea A young man called The Doctor (THe cook on a gelley ship) I am thinking he is the master in the kitchen (able to make deliciouse edible foods out of just about anything available. Able to list ingredients and procedures in preperation of any food he tastes Pus one of the bellow 1) VPP of Knowledge and background skills (drawback is someone other than himself has to ask a question) Or 2) Real good with knives.

OK. Say MINDMAN has a 2D6 Cumulative Mindcontrol. He suses it against person A and Person B. MM rolls 6 each time (say 5 times) 1) Person A has 0 Mental defence. How does Mind Control work against him? 2) PErson B had 5 Mental Defence. How does Mind Control work against him? My thinking 1 = works normally 2 = each roll only results in 1 point of Mind Control per attempt.

Re: Random powers? Would I be able to post links to my characters on my site here and thread readers can see if I stick to concept?

Re: Rationalize this.... Then probably tactical subsystem will be based on MA. Movies and Combat anaysis sot when CN sees an opening he can take it and if he sees an attack he can determine where it will land and block it.

Re: Rationalize this....

Re: Rationalize this.... Jackie Chan already did it. It might be a cheese to habe normal characteristics and have EVERYTHING ELSE as a VPP

Re: Rationalize this.... I thought there are multi-Targeting. 1 Targeting = where he is looking 1 Targeting = Where hisr fist is pointed at 1 targeting = Path of possible attack When all three lock he makes an attack and the system guides it.

Purpose of this thread: To help me (and others) in making sure a power fits the SFX or source of a power (No 6 degrees on how a power is related to a Kevin Bacon movie). I do not want discussions on how Spiderman developed web shooters in the comics or how the movie has his shooting webs from his wrists when normally spiders shoot webs from their .... (Can I say that on this board?) My current problem: I a working a character. A normal person who loves MA movies and Anime. He and some friends develop a suit of armor. Since these people are nerds a geeks and not jocks they have no real fighting experience but by combining what they know about Video games and Bio-Mechanics (how the human body moves) they developed a tactical computer that can either take care of the Martial Arts fighting or propt the wearer of the armor on how to fight. Does this fit the character? Do you need more information?

There, she met up with her best friend Julia. They decided to reinact all thier old habits that vacation. One of them was to cut through the Junkyard. Julia was looking for interesting pices of metal for her brother Max to use. Max sculpted metal and had two pieces up for sale in the local art store. Vivian was talking about her class work and how she is still looking for a major. Maybe education. Halfway through the junk yard they found something that they have never seen before. A Maniquine stakes to the ground with a shovel handle. When they reached the maniquin they discovered that they were wrong. It was a man. And by his moving eyes, was still alive. Vivian was going through her purse for her celphone when she sees her friend trying to remove the wooden stake. By the time she asked her friend why, the man who looked like he would pass away at any moment Leaped up and attacked her friend. She screemed and ran. Running between tow rows of stacked cars, Vivian thought she lost him when she did not see him behind her. That was because he was infront of her as her running into his chest has shown. The last thing she rememberd was red eyes and a gentle voice saying sorry. ***** Vivian woke up on a beautyful four post bed wearing an elegant sleeping gown. In a chair next to the bed sat the same man she remebered from the junk yard. But instead of a long duster and leather pants with shoulder length hair, He was in jeans and a T-Shirt with short hair parted at the left. "I am very sorry my dear. You and your friend were found killed by a pack of Junk yard dogs. You had a beautyful funeral, the dogs found in the junk yard were put to sleep and your life in Ohio has come to an end. I could not control myself when your friend removed the stake, but I did regain ir when I fed from you. I gave you the oportunity to join your friend and past loved ones. You chose to return. You are now a vampire and have much to learn." What followed was shock, fear, refusal, anger and slowly acceptence. She spent the next 5 years traveling form state to state with Sebastian, her Sire, to learn what was needed to survive as a vampire in the 20th century, how to hunt without killing, how to blend in with mortals and how to recreate oneself for staying in one place without aging can lead to problems. But Vivian had an advantage in this tat other vampire bloodlines did not. She could walk around in the sun. When Sebastian felt Vivian has learned all that she needed to, he helped set her up in a new identity as owner of a book store while he set up nearby to keep an eye on his childe and to develope his hobby of botany some more. Vivian was introduced to the local vampire comunity (Or supernatural community if games has other types of beings). One stop was The Raven, a night club run by an 'old' friend, Jannette DuCharme. Having a another female vampire to talk to and since she will be staying in the city. made friends with her. Hanging out with Jannette, Vivian eventually met Nick, a homicide detective. Nick was 'family' with Jannette and also, as she loathed to put it, an informer. One evening, Nick stopped by to infor Jannette that Nat found a body yesterday it showed signs of being a fresh kill. someone was hunting, and leaving evidence. Nat found and hid the proof but the vampire was still oit there. Was there any new arivals or fledglings that might have done this? Vivian over heard this and decided to help. Her sire was something called an Enforcer and the situation got to the point where he had to step in there would be trouble. So she lent a hand. This got her into closer contact with Nick and Natalie, the city coronor. Being able to move around during the day helped and with the information Nick and Nat had, she was able to find the new arrival who wanted the old days and ways back were Vampires were lords of all they surveyed and humans were nothing but servants or food. They guy was a fanatic and there was only one way to handel him before he gathered a following. Twenty minutes later he was a pile of ash. Viviann helps the community and the police. With her abilities and her gift of daywalking, (and being seen flying and doing some super natural stuff) like thoes costumed heroes do Vivian managed to get the witnesses and press to belive she is a new heroine in town
