Re: Superhero Images

Does anyone know if the following Artists have websites? Or some way to contact them?

 

Greg Smith

Johnathan Davenport

Eric Lofgren

Patrick Zircher

 

I've done some coloriztions of thier artwork, but I'm not about to post it here without thier permission.

 

- Christopher Mullins

You should also make sure it is not artwork which doj owes. My understanding is that doj purchases all their artwork now rather than "renting" it.

Re: Conan vs. Elric

If you are asking who would defeat whom then I will pick Conan. Everyone knows Conan has +10 combat levels versus wizards/demons/demi-gods and +5 combat levels with incantation "Crom."

Re: The Valdorian Age

Mr. Thomas, you have put a hurting on me for this book now. Finish it quickly! I must have it!

Re: Champs Universe Question

What I'm talking about is picking soldiers who both have the skill and psychological credentials' date=' and the genetic compatibility, and Cyberlining *them* into a super special ops division.[/quote']

I understand but pick a number. Suppose the cyberline treatment costs $250,000. Now imagine you need 4 treatments a year to stay "buff." That is one million dollars a year to create and maintain a silver avenger. There is a reason why there are not too many of them in primus. Fielding a battalion of cyberline-enhanced solders would be expensive and would mean they need additional "downtime" due to needing additional treatments. Being a soldier would also put them at a high risk of being killed by weapon's fire; even stray weapon's fire. The army get the current soldiers for what? $1,500 a month and another $2,000 of equipment?

Re: Champs Universe Question

What I wanna know is why the military hasn't started using Cyberline. . .

Cyberline only works on a small percentage of people with compatable genes; my guess would be pre-activated mutants. I would also imagine that it is fairly expensive, and so can't just be mass-produced and issued to everyone to see how they react. I would also think there is a fairly large number of people who have negative reactions to cyberline, and then need to be "taken care of."

Re: Help building a power

You purchase all the additional characteristics you listed above with an "only when berzerk" limitation: -1/4.

You purchase the regeneration at the 6 hour level and then give the cost difference between 6 hours and a turn a naked advantage "Only when berzerk": -1/4

For the body damage you buy a Susceptability: Takes 1d6 body when recovers from berzerk

Re: What's the difference...

Classic examples? Beast Boy and Snowbird have Multiform. Each can take on a myriad of different animal forms.

 

Thor/Don Blake and Captain Marvel/Billy Batson have OIHID. The characters are complete normals until activating their hero ID's.

 

Colossus has special effects. Many of his powers are linked to his Armor.

Or you can just as easily say:

Beast Boy and Snowbird have shapeshift and an animal vpp to represent their limitless shape choices.

Thor and Captain Marvel have multiform due to the fact that they have different personalities, skills, knowledge and powers.

Colossus is only in hero id as his powers only work in Colossus form.

Re: New limitation Idea

But to each thier own.

Definately to each his own. You just happen to be putting requirements on powers which the book does not. I hope it works for you.

Re: Why Is "Requires EGO Roll" -1, not -1/2

The value of the limitation is based up the value of the characteristic roll using the activation chart. If the character had a 14- ego roll the value of the limitation would be -1/2. With an 11- ego roll the value of the limitation is -1.

Re: New limitation Idea

It goes one mention Life Support' date=' presuming it has SFX. Hmmm... guess it must have some type of SFX, probably perceptible in some way. Granted, the player could have an SFX for it that wouldn't be perceptible, but on the other hand if they did, and common sense says it can be seen, guess how I'm going rule. (8^D)[/quote']

In the until superpowers database metallic skin is purchased as armor with the visible limitation. That would seem to imply that armor is normally invisible, as all 0 endurance powers are unless otherwise dictated by the gm or limitation.

Re: Stretching And Senses

I have a question about how Stretching and Senses work together. I want to create a character who has the ability to see through a stretched-out limb' date=' too peek around corner, search through airducts etc. How do I accomplish this? Is this something that could be considered “built-in†for stretching, or do I have to buy Clairsentience with certain llimitations?[/quote']

I would consider this to be a good use for a power skill: stretching roll. You make the roll and you gain access to some minor stunts such as telescopic sense and/or clairsentience.

Re: Turakian Age timeline

You can download the 6 page hero universe document from the freestuff section here:

http://www.herogames.com/FreeStuff/freedocs.htm

It gives a brief description of each era within the hero universe.

Re: Turakian Age Review posted to Enworld

Nice review. Just so you know the 77 page index is available as a free download in the freestuff section of the website. It didn't fit into the book after it was written, and is a very good historical read.

Re: Dark Champions Animated

One question: will Teen Champions cover the school outside Millenium City where all the metakids go? Would be nice to see it done as even a brief campaign setting.

Yes, that is what ravenswood academy is. Teen champions is really a champions universe campaign book, not a dark champions book.

Re: Ultimate Champions: How would you do it?

Sexual dysfunction and addiction is incredibly overplayed and immaturely handled in so-called realistic genres. IMO

I do not believe reading a comic book about a hero saving money to buy a house or to have a child would be very interesting to most people. Spider-man seems to have had that angle covered for the last 40 years. Reading about heroes who must overcome difficult social issues is interesting to most people.

Re: New limitation Idea

A better question might be why does it cost +1 to be invisible but only -1/4 to become visible?

Our house rule is that invisibility is only a +1/4 advantage. It really is not so useful that it should be a +1.

Re: New limitation Idea

I would consider that to be a -0 limitation. The invisible nature of endurance powers is a large factor, imo.

Re: Need Help From The Math Wizards

Re: Quasar & Thor Power levels

That is the Quasar I am talking about too. We have him at 20d6.

We have Gladiator at 100 strength with an additional +30 strength only for lifting, etc.

Superman is 125 strength in our game. Silver Surver has a 150 point cosmic power pool. Those just for reference as to where we fit Gladiator and Quasar.

Re: The Mighty Thor

The Thor we use in the game is the original Blake character. He has a multiform as Thor and Blake are two people merged together. We purchased the hammer and associated powers as restainable.

Re: Quasar & Thor Power levels

Our game has Thor with 95 strength and +10d6 from mjolnir. We have Quasar at 20d6.

Re: More questions

Clarification: A swarm power is like an extreme version of multiform where the character can turn into a swarm of something' date=' none of which are that powerful. The typical uses, for example, would be for Dracula to turn into a swarm of bats, or Oogie Boogie to turn into a swarm of bugs.[/quote']

There are swarm examples in the bestiary and I believe the uspd. Basically you turn into another character which is the swarm and has the associated powers to represent that. I'd suggest looking at the swarm examples in the bestiary first, or the flock of birds example from shades of black.

Re: Turakian Age: Drakine Population Dynamics

Except thats only taking into account the females' date=' not the males. Granted, if the norm involves multiple mates, it works.[/quote']

I do not believe you need multiple mates, you just need most males to remarry after their mate dies. So you have a birth rate of about 3 females to 1 to 2 males per each 1,000,000. This would give a population in slow decline which has a difficult time recovering from major wars.

Re: Turakian Age: Drakine Population Dynamics

The breasts could be truely functional, a status symbol, a sexual symbol. Many animals have "decorations" to attract mates. It's possible that female draks have breasts just because the are pleasant to have.

We should also keep in mind that the word "most" really only means over 51%. 51% might die in child birth, and of the remainder 51% choose not to have a second child. It also means that at least 51% only have one child at a time and not twins.

A population of 1,000,000 females would indicate a minimum of 501,000 die in childbirth, and of the 499,000 remaining 250,000 choose not not have a second child. So 1,000,000 are born and 501,000 die. Their population is actually increasing at a slow rate, assuming wars and such are not to hard on the population growth.
