I put together a new group of NPC heroes containg 2 of my old PC's, a friends old PC, a reformed custom villain and a new hero I am in the process of making. And I need some help coming up with a name for them. They are based in Florida in the wetlands surrounding the Cape Canaveral area. I though of one name Cape Canaveral Crusaders But I think it sounds retarded. What do you think. Or maybe you can help me come up with a better name.

Q:Hey can I feel the Baby kick? A: Jedi Knight and mini skirts

While searching for a sketch pad yesterday I came across a couple of old Champions modules that I had forgotten. I found Day of the Destroyer and Demons Rule. I felt a little nostalgic so I read through them and had some very fond memories of both GM'ing and playing throught them. And I noticed something that I vaguely remeber happening on a lot of the older books and modules. Seeker is unconcious...I have never in my 10 plus years of Champions playing seen stats for Seeker...is he really that pathetic of a character or he is just the cannon fodder of the company? Just though I'd ask. Anyway hopefully this will spark some fond memories for everyone in thinking of game sessions gone by.

Actutually Bengal his Str was lower to begin with it was a 30 but I have slowly had him get stronger over time as he continued to mutate a little more. This is has happened with other characters in the comics mainly with the Thing. As his rock form changed over the years he slowly got stronger. So why could not reptyle grow stronger over time Think about it he was injected with every type of reptile DNA in the world including some extinct reptiles dont you think he could get stronger along the way. He also did not have the 2 DC levels to start and his Damage Resistance was not as high. I didnt buy his extra 20 points of STR all in one lump sum I slowly raised it 5 points at a time as I played the character. I would add points to STR then next time I would spend xp on damage resistance or a dc in Savate. Just a little fyi here Banegal is all but I do appreciate the input.

Here is the file so anyone who wants can load him and see a picture of him for HeroMaker

Re: Hunted He is already Hunted by Viper and has been since his creation. Eurostar was a replcement for Terror Inc because of Scorpia and Fuer. But I am begining to agree with everyone else that maybe I should change that one.

As the American Avenger his costume is blue with a large red A on the chest; red gloves and boots trimed in white, a white belt and a red cape; his mask covers most of his face save for his nose, mouth and chin. Origin Joshua Knight was a standard low level bueraucrat/lawyer in the PRIMUS orginization, most of his work involved public relations and he often was seen on tv speaking for the orginization. He also played football for a minor league football team as a linebacker. His life however took a drastic change. Joshua had stayed late at PRIMUS HQ to to finish some paper work and write a speech for a tv appearance, as he was leaving the building a large battalion of Viper Agents and Supers attacked the HQ. PRIMUS was able to thwart the attack with the aid of several independant heroes but unfortuantly Joshua lay bleeding to death in the prking lot. The Golden Avenger scooped up Joshua and took him to the HQ's med lab. The doctors told Joshua that the only way he would survive was if he would agree to be physical augmented by the PRIMUS labs. Joshua agreed and underwent over 13 hours of surgery and various enhancment treatments. When Joshua recovered from his surgery he was taken under the Golden Avengers wing for training. Joshua developed his own form of fighting combining aspects of boxing and profesional wrestling maneuvers. After his training he was given a costume and federal police powers. He still works for PRIMUS in both of his identities, but has acted independantly of them as well in his heroic id.

One other thing Supreme Serpent what does YMMV stand for?

The 0 cost image resonator was a GM freebie, and I do see your point about the tail being a focus. As far as being hunted by Eurostar its all I could come up with as a replacement. I am currently without any books or a campaign for that matter. I have not actually played Champions in close to 7 years. I am actually without any form of role-playing outlet other than playing the few rpg games I have for my Playstation. The new hunted was based on what I have found out about the changes to the CU through the boards. Maybe I will just drop the hunted and pick a new Disadvantage to compensate for the points. As for a little background on the campaing I played him in.. the Terror Inc was one of the GM's favorite groups to use and he loved playing Muerte. Muerte would typically say something like this to Reptyle "You need to come back to your family son." Red Menace: My GM who ran Terror Inc against me and the other players in my group did have a cold user as a member that he had made up I believe he called him Snow Blind. And no I never found an online game.

This is the 1st Champions character I ever played over 10 years ago. I recently converted him to 5th edition using the demo version of Hero Designer and want peoples opinions especially about his origin. The only thing I have altered at all is one of his hunteds to reflect changes in the Champions Universe since I last played and I will give the reason for this after the charcter's origin.

He considers himself quite the ladies man and will flirt with women even in the heat of combat. Origin: Andre Philipe LeBeau was born in the French quarter of New Orleans. His father was a freelance pilot and formal comercial and military pilot and by the time he was 14 Andre had his pilots license. Andre went into the Airforce as an officer after graduation, due to his being in his High Schools JROTC program and after only 6 months in the military he could fly any vehicle they had from an F-16 to and Apache helicopter. After his military pilot training Andre spent 4 years in France and during that time he learned Savate. After his military time was up he returned to Louisiana and worked for his father's charter service. Unforunatly after only 2 months of flying for his father his life forever changed. Returning from a charter flight to Florida, Andre's plane suffered engine problems and crashed into the swamps of Louisiana. He survived but was knocked unconcious. When he awoke he found himself strapped to an operating table looking up at the armored visage of Proffesor Muerte. Muerte told Andre was his latest experiment and that he had injected the young man with a mutating formula containing various forms of reptile DNA. Over the next several hours Andre's body underwent the transformation, all the while Muerte gloated that he now had a new member for Terror Inc. After the transformation was complete Andre was taking away by 2 of Muerte's agents unfortunatly for the 2 men Andre;s new powers allowed him to overpower them and he managed to escape by swimming away through the swamp.After several days of ducking and hiding he reached his fathers airfield grabbed a plane and took off to seek the aid of the Champions. When he arrived he found the Champions in a heated battle with several Viper agents. Andre aided the Champions and upon undergoing several tests he found that his condition was irreversable. Defender supplied Andre with a small image projector so he could attempt to lead a normal life outside his heroic identity. Note: Reptyle was originally Hunted by Terror Inc and not Eurostar...but due to the newest developments in the CU, namely the death of Prof Muerte I changed his hunted to Eurostar which to my understanding now has Scopia and Fuer as members. I feel that due to the long rivalry with Reptyle, those to could convince the leader of Eurostar to try to take him out. I will hopefully provide an image for him soon.

Yeah go ahead and give him the gadget pool and change his name to Hyena when you post him on the Enforcers Inc. board. I am going to try and get a rule book tomorrow by trading some of my old comics at a local comic store if the owner will let me. I hate to trade them but its probably the only way to get a book. I did not mean to be dissing your criticism or sound like I could not take criticim. So I appologize if I ruffled any feathers.

Actuallly Killer I appreciate the criticism the name was a last minute alteration because I thought that The Hyena was to generic but if you want to alter that to The Hyena that would be fine. The Damage Resistance is not supposed to be in his EC I forgot to put a space between but if you notice that is the full cost in points for the DR. Also I made up this character with the Demo version of Hero Designer and with no rule book past or present and an old 3rd edition version of the character that a friend of mine had created for our joint campaign. I had considered giving him a gadget pool but without a book to explain how one worked I could not. I unfortunatly a little cash poor right now and will not even be able to afford sidekick anytime soon let alone the full 5th edition book. Feel free to modify him if you want. But that is your call

Take your time Killer. I understand having no free time but I wold like your opinion...how do you like the gnoll??

I must make an notation on my earlier post in this thread about my wife's "rut". Altho she has been role playing for almost 5 years now she has in that time only played about 3 or 4 characters due to the fact that we tend to go monts or even a year at a time without playing.

I personally have never been in a character rut I always try to be various in my characters. My wife however has always played the same kind of character in fantasy RPG"S she always plays wizards/sorcerers..... and the only way I could probably ever get her to play Champions is if I made her a magic using superhero.

Dear Abby, Chere this letter is not exactly directed towards you but towards Confused and Green. Mon Ami, I understand your problem for I am also green in color and even have a 4 1/2 ' long tail. I am the way I am thanks to the late Proffesor Muerte and his crazy experiments. Even crazier he intended to for me to be a member of the now defunct Terror Inc. However I escaped and am now a well know hero and I might add loved by the ladies. The thing about women, mon ami, is that you must treat them with respect, you must make them feel like women and if it happens to be a female supervillain you are hitting on you must first try to seduce them into giving up crime. In all aspect you must be like the swashbuckling heroes Athos, Porthos, Aramis &D' Artagnion. Sincerely Reptyle

Thank you Edsel now I know how to handle my characters Life Support now.

What is the difference between extended breathing and expanded breathing. I do not own a rules book so I dont have the explantions listed there. And also By Zootoxins under immunities doe that mean all animal poisons or all animal and plant poisons??

I had a DM who I played 2nd edit AD&D with and he had the wonderful habit of giving his characters coll magic items and then the next week we'd be captured an lose the items. I even had a cleric I played and he took away my spells because of a bs critical hit chart he had made up and my clerics voice box got ripped out. The only positive thing I have to say about that paticular DM/GM was he is the one who got me into Champions

My idea of frictionless is completely smooth such as glass. He powers are based on reptilian dna, the microscopic scales on his skin must find slight cracks in the surface to latch onto. This would work easily on things such as brick, stone, wood but glass and certain metals would be to smooth for him to cling to.

I was wondering how much of a limitation this would be. I have a charcter who has clinging with the limitation does not work on frictionless surfaces...woulod you all consider this an uncommon or common circumstance??

Quote: "Your staring sown the barrel of one of the biggest rifles in the world, and they say I'm the crazy one" The day James was born he was automatically identified as a mutant, the newborn was covered with fur and a muzzle where a nose should be. As the young mutant grew his parents kept him isolated and home schooled and spoiled him with anything the boy wanted. By the time he was 15 the boy could reprogram any computer and through a lot of hacking on the internet had learned how to build bombs, custom communication systems and custom weapons. Unfortunatly for his parents James was vicious and on his 18th birthday he killed them with a carbomb so small the authorities never found any traces and ruled the cause of the explosian a fuel system problem. For many year James operated undercover at his parents home selling his sevices as a custom weapons and security system creator. He was eventually traced to his parents house and barley escaped the combined UNTIL and Interpol raid. He spent several months running, living day to day by doing quick equipment jobs and even a few assassinations. After a while he discovered that he liked killing people and began to do as much "field work" as making things. He recently was contacted by Enforcer Inc. and has begun supplying gadgets anew to all sorts of criminals around the world as well as eliminating people in Enforcers Inc's Way"

Hey I'm hoping soemone can help me, I'm trying to make a Champs charcter for my wife and need a name. Does anyone out there know the Gaelic word for sorceress or witch?

Hey Nice alteration of the Recluse. The Hdc is no good to me I dont have Hero Designer and probably not be able to ever get it. Nice of you to use my towns name in his identity. Just curious about one thing howcome you got rid of his spider sting hka? All in all though a very nice conversion of a villain I originally made up 10 min before the game started.

Here is an assassin for hire I used at one point in a campaign along time ago. I am also attaching the Hero Designer formula for his costume. There are no skills or disadvatages because I never went that deep into his origin. This is just a quick type up but hope he finds a good use in the Enforcers Inc.
