  4. Need help with ENVY

    There was the trademarked accident at school. I do not want to give too much away on the board without GM ok.

     

    The problem with this is, in what way is the change disadvantageous? There was a debate over whether Colossus could take OIHID because he triggered his change mentally and some argued that it was effectively impossible to stop the transformation. Others pointed out that Piotr had to turn into a huge statue of living steel to do that and that this stood out and was clearly a disdvantage.

     

    A few of his abilities are linked to his self-actualization.

     

    might need to find out if the campaign will view the OIHID thing as sufficiently limiting.

     

    I will as the GM

     

    I pefer the idea of a self-improvement course, by the way. The campus experiment or whatever is a bit cliched, even if it does have more plot hooks.

     

    Thanks.

    OK

     

    Exchanged Transform with Mind Control and added some stuff. Character now has full character and disadvantage points.

     

    Looking for some comments and suggestions on charactersheet and background.

     

    Trying to get character set for game A.S.A.P.

     

    Thank you.

    I am working on a character (or substitude charater) for a PBEM game.

     

    OK. I managed to fill up all the character and disadvantage points.

     

    I traded the Transform to Mindcontrol (It will take a while to break out I think)

     

    OK. Any other comments or suggestions on background or character sheet?

     

    BACKGROUND

     

    Deuit Dumas did not have a happy childhood. Since early elementary school he has been the but of jokes and teasing that he has never been able to escape. Deuit has been called Dimwit Dumb Ass by everyone but his parrents and teachers (and a few times a few teachers let a Mister Dumb Ass slip)

     

    Even with the love and support of his parents, Deuit's self esteem has taken a beating.

     

    When Deuit reached age 14 his parents decided he was old enough and mature enough to take care of himself so they took more and longer seminars and out of state meeting leaving Deuit alone alot of the time.

     

    With all the 'friendship' and 'support' Deuit received growing up he has been on the loweest rungs of the academic social ladder. He has walked through loif looking at other students, envying their skills, abilities and ease they socialize.

     

    (Insert GAINING or ACTIVATION of super power here)

     

    Deuit was able to reason out that whatever gave him these new abilitied allowed him to actualize the self he always wanted to be and seemed to tailor themselves to his conscious and subconscious desires.

  17. GADGETS & GEAR -- What Do *You* Want To See?

    in Champions

    Posted

    My ideas. Just brain storming

     

    1) Closer look and explanation on limitations and advantages related to foci. (Charges, OAF, OIF..., Activation, ECT)

     

    2) Ammo: broken down to or grouped in Bullets, Arrows, Ect.

     

    3) Utility Bults (MP and VPP versions)

     

    4) Weapo.... Well. that is an automatic given.

     

    5) Computers (Wrist, Battlearmor control computer, Hero-Base computer)

     

    6) Character as computer (Cameras to see. Microphones to hear, speakers to speak, holograms to be seen)

     

    7) Q's toy-chest (ala James Bond)

    Instead of steam power, which requires heat generation, why not have ice shards as a rka or even RKA Auto fire. Also, I understand that all of the powers in the MP have the advantage affect real world, but doesn't it have to apply to each of the slots, thus increasing each slot cost? Otherwise you get an unfair and amazing point cost savings.

     

     

    JMHO

     

    I thought that with the APW Advantage on the MP All her abilities would affect the physical world.

     

    Instead of putting the advantage on the Pool I have to put it on each slot?

    I have a water based character for review.

     

    Breif origin. Holly winters was an investigator for the EPA. She hound a company that dumps toxic waste into a local river. The bad news was the company has also found Holly. The managed to find and destroy her proof before she could infor her superiors. They also sealed her in one of their barrels and dumped her in the river. A year later AQUA was born.

     

    She needs 30 points in Disads, maybe a different group of skills and just some general reviews.

    It is o45 am and I had some questions that would not leave my mind alone.

     

    I will post two here and hope it is enough. Will post other later.

     

    1) How can one summon a fire?

     

    2) Can an animate fire ability be a Summon slavishly loyal fire elemental or use Images to sight and touch?

     

    Hey. the pressure has lessened.

     

    I can go to sleep now.

    Is there a way to develope a combatblock character sheet. I do not need to know as a GM I do not need to know the charcter's COM. If he is supper good looking, I will see the DF or in a one paragraph description it will say he is extremely good looking.

     

    So just a block of combat relative stats and powers. Skills character may use in the adventure, Disads to help roleplay and any susepts and Vulns,

     

    Maybe in the back of the book a chart with combat reative stats and a list of powers/Defences/Disads that would come into effect during a game.

     

    I know not all everything can be predicted, but a villians Knoledge of 101 languages are not important if all the characters in an adventure speak the same leanguage so no need to list all languages with level of conversation and literacy.
