Starting to work on the next installment in the Villainy Codex line called Send In The Clowns. Was wondering what you might like to see included. This will be very much a throwback to the organization books of the past. Two groups will be included in this book, CLOWN and IMPs. CLOWN will be a update of characters plus addition of one of my favorite 4th edition villains. Some of the group as you know it have retired or moved on but others will be presented in a slimmed down version of the group. Images for them can be found in Deadmans Hero Machine Archive post towards the bottom of page 3. IMPs is a group of deranged assassin/villains that have arrived on the seen. Members have comical, sadistic look to them. All are dangerous and all of psychotic to say the least. This group is not in competition with CLOWN, merely in the same book and somewhat theme. IMPs will be a small group of 5-6 villains all of which will have a bit of a comical theme to them. The group will be designed as assassins for hire and a group that will simply create havoc and destruction just for the shear fun of it. Will post some images along the way as well, such as:

Just want to give a big thank you to Deadman for doing some of the above images for me. Will be using some of them in a project hoping to have ready by summer

They look Good

Have them and a bunch of my own too. Although I just use Hero Designer anymore

Have several different images that can used in place of the one on the sheet. You simply save the PDF as an image and modify it in a image program. Have the sheet as an image as well

Finally found the sheet with a image (always my favorite sheets) 4th edition with image.pdf

Found another sheet Hero - Character Sheet.pdf

Understand Here's another version no character image 4th Edition Character Sheet - Long Form.pdf

Here's one Hero 4 ed cs.pdf

I have scans of old edition sheets somewhere

Strange question came up, if a character has LS:safe in intense cold would this protect them from the effects of hyperthermia? With hyperthermia being more than just the effects of cold I can see ruling either way.

Usually a rather large cannon

Damage Negation on a roll can work well for MR too

Yep. one could even patch a table full of food and instant dinner

No you cast the spell at an item of a group of items and it transforms in to a small piece of cloth, like a small patch. When you want to retrieve what you have transformed you simply toss the patch of cloth on the ground. Great for adventuring, setup a tent build a fire, turn all into a small patch of cloth. When you ready to camp for the night find a clear spot, toss the cloth on the ground and instant campsite.

This is perhaps my favorite spell I put in the product. Used it numerous times and just love it. And Now It.pdf

So they could see you but not target you individually. But, AOE attacks could still effect you which stops you from being invulnerable and other senses could target you as well.. So there is still a balance to the power.

Playing around with a possible cover. No set determination on name yet but felt like playing around a bit

Working on a campaign supplement that is across of FH and SH, best of both worlds

True, but if you read Darkness it would mask you but I do believe the Mentalist would know that a area is impenetrable to them, though Invisibility wouldn't have this issue. Of course this is only a consideration if one doesn't want a Mentalist to know they are being blocked.

seems like a simply solution would be to purchase +3 or 4 DMCV only vs. Mind Scan. If they fail the attack roll they have no idea your there, unless of course they see you with their eyes, but the before mentioned Darkness would have the same weakness as well.

another thing to consider is why your cloaking the mind, if its just to make sure they can't link then Invis or Darkness could work. But, a GM could rule that if a Mentalist see you physically but not your mind then obviously you have abilities or gadgets. So, your hidden by the cloaking ability but calling attention to yourself at the same time. Just a thought

Invis to mental group could work, I have a little issue with darkness only because it's more of an attack against others not so much something you put on yourself, although no real reason it couldn't be used. By the same token to be able to access the effects chart of Mind Scan you have to make a successful attack roll OMCV vs DMCV, so one could purchase Mental Combat Skill Levels, Only VS Mind Scan. The limitation level would be up to the GM but if you using it to increase DMCV only and only against Mind Scan I would think that a -1 would be fair. (Forgive me if this has already be mentioned. sped read the posts)
