Southern Cross

Re: Anime series as a campaign Here's the Wikipedia article:Cyborg 009.

Re: Anime series as a campaign I nominate Cyborg 009.

Re: VPP, Shapeshift and You Actually,one character I can think of with a Shapeshifting VPP would be Cyborg 007 from Cyborg 009.He can take any form he imagines when he presses his bellybutton. (All the 00-Cyborgs usually refer to themselves by their number,instead of their real names.)

Re: The Munchkin Build Contest Absolutely correct.In order to do full STR damage,an advantaged HA has to have half the STR dice-a character with 90 STR would have to have a minimum of a 9d6 AP HA in order to make his full 18d6 of STR damage Armor-Piercing.

Re: The Munchkin Build Contest Also,an AI.,Base,Follower or Vehicle can take disadvantages in order to reduce the cost to the character.

Re: The Munchkin Build Contest Actually,I didn't think itwas possible to use Transform on yourself so here's a workaround:Purchase either an A.I.,Base,Follower or Vehicle Perk with the Transform Power with enough disadvantages to bring the cost to 0 points. Then get the object or Person to use Transform on the character.

Re: 7 heroes summoned through time: who are they? Well,as leader of the 7 great villains,I would suggest Vlad the Impaler...

Re: Santa Claus is coming (and man, is he ever pissed!) Oh,how gross!! (And,incidentally,how can I get one of those cool "mood meter" thingies?)"

Re: The Munchkin Build Contest Thanks,that's what I thought too.

Re: The Munchkin Build Contest How about buying Aid with Variable Effect at the +1/2 level,and defining it as Aiding a Multipower Reserve & one ultra slot?

Re: [interest in a HeroCentral game] Actually,he works out as more of an Ultra Boy analogue that way.I've actually been considering buying him an Aid with Expanded Effect.

Re: Good animated supers flicks? Cyborg 009 (The 2001 anime version,btw).The first volume (25 episodes) has been available in New Zealand for months.

Re: [interest in a HeroCentral game] Southern Cross is basically myself as an imitation Superman.The idea is an evil mad scientist kidnaps my avatar and turns him into a prototype supersoldier,but Southern Cross manages to escape before any combat skills can be downloaded (and before the brainwashing procedures can be initiated).Southern Cross's powers are largelyderived from cosmic-powered nanites in his blood,plus large-scale nanotech reconstruction of his entire body.

Re: [interest in a HeroCentral game] Kirby,I'm also sorry I couldn't send in a character,but I've been unable to settle on the proper build for my namesake character,as usual.

Re: [interest in a HeroCentral game] Which is one of the reasons if I ever do a 350-point writeup of Seeker,I'm not going to include Ch'i abilities.Besides,I probably wouldn't have enough points left to allocate to Ch'i abilities anyway

Re: [interest in a HeroCentral game] For a start,I'd replace Seeker's Ultrasonic Hearing with the Seduction skill & add two levels of the Combat Luck Talent,give him enough Weapon Elements to use all his weapons with his Martial Arts,include all the weapons shown in his illustration (including game stats) & expand his skill list a bit. (Incidentally,is it allowed to use slots from two DIFFERENT Multipowers in a Multi-Power Attack? I've been thinking about giving Seeker two weapons-based Multipowers-one for his primary weapon & another for a secondary weapon (such as a second sai).

Re: [interest in a HeroCentral game] If I was going to use any of the 4th Edition Champions,I'd prefer to use Solitaire or,in a pinch, Seeker. (Both upgraded to 350 points,of course).

Re: [interest in a HeroCentral game] I'm interested.

Re: Your PC's might be underpowered if... The power armor guy uses the "one-punch" armor from Ranma 1/2.

Re: Eurostar's current line up And,if I remember correctly,5E Mentalla lacks the 4E's Desolidification and Missile Deflection,so she's easier to take down.

Re: [interest in an online game?] Avengers: Generation 3 Actually,when the Hulk founded the Avengers,he was more articulate than in later years,save for the Peter David run.

Re: PTOLUS Conversion Open Discussion Check out http://monte.cook.com for a link to the official Ptolus,Iron Heroes and Arcana Evolved webpages.

Re: Mandatory limitation for HA, but not for HKA? Because a HA is effectively Restrainable-being tied up stops a character from using a HA.

Re: Morlocks in our Future! If you have a copy of Them!,I don't see why not.

Re: Morlocks in our Future! I've seen worse- Independence Day and Event Horizon come to mind... Given a choice between watching that movie or Reptilicus again,I'd think I'd rather rewatch Reptilicus......
