While I have to agree that it wouldn't be a good idea to just switch them to the Hero system an carry on, I will say you can use thing from D&D with work. I personally love the Forgotten Realms world and background. When I run FH it is in that realm. I have been slowly converting different thing to Hero and add in my own creations and those of Hero Games as well. I mean as a GM, how can you not love Undermountain It's such a ball to throw at people

There's also some nice powers worked up on the online USPD database.

Hey guys. I started another thread about using these awsome pics Storn has posted to make heroes and villians. Let's see what we can do with his pictures. http://www.herogames.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=4545

What he said

Mr Cook has been nice enough to give us several awesome pictures, I fugred we could start a thread buildin heroes/villians using them. So...Let get to it!!

Working on a character who's EC can change. The powers stay the same but the effect doesn't. Can be fire, then water, the ice, whatever. Using the Varible special effect would work, I figured anyway. I assume that I'd have to buy it for the reserve and then each "slot" as well. My question does the fact that when one "slot" changes the entire EC changes modify the cost of the advantage. I wasn't sure if it would be higher or lower or not effect at all.

Actualy a lot of help. I like the Omega theroy. Just can't figure out why I drew a total blank. Had no problem with the powers and background, even his ID. Just couldn't manage a super-name

Working on a NPC that is my equilivant of Magneto from the movies, as far as his feelings about the mutant-human relations goes. He's a extremely powerful mutant that can do just about anything through a couple VPPs. I just am drawing a complete blank as far as a name goes. Any help would be great. He's basical strong (25str) good dex and spd. Has a offensive only VPP can be anything he wants(cosmic, no roll) and another VPP that can be used for anything not offensive (same set up). He also has a MP that has a blast that can vari the advantage and another that can vari the SPX. Just can get anything past *name here* - The Ultra-Mutant.

I totally got away from anything remotely "mental". I also semi-seperated PSI from them. Basically the Myers Institute is doing research into why/how some people use larger parts of the brain than others. However, when they find someone with Psionic powers the director is notified and he has a polite screening of the subject. In a hidden room are members of PSI. Then the fun goes from there. This totally severed the obvious ties to mentals and PSI. Of course players figure these things out so nothing is perfect.

I finally received mine Friday. My FLAG had to use a secondary distributor to get the copies they had. Seems USPD is somthing everyone wants, an well worth the wait to.

Very useful thanks!!

I have both of the comic sets of the handbook, the also did a looseleaf version. It's awesome for background and general ideas of the abilities. Although several people have said over the years that the power descirption\limitations are incorrect. There are newer versions they're dubbing Encylopedias, all stats are in a game term though. Ther are new books coming our for the MSHRP, but of course conversion work would be necessary. The DC Who's Who is worthleass unless your just not familiar with their characters. In the hand book you told that Thor can lift X amount of tons. In the Who's Who it informs you that Superman has superhuman Str. (Well duhhhhh!!! ) It also states that Batman knows every forms of martial arts known to man. Something that is impossible given just the number of different forms of Kung Fu there are. Let alone Judo, Karate and all the others in the world. But it is pretty good for background on DCs heros. There's also GI Joe & Transformers but that's a whole other thread

Great price too! Even the sales clerk at my FLAG was surprised by the price considering the thickness of it

This may fall under a how too but: If you use the multiform from USPD (awesome by the way) as a mimic, how do you gain the ability to use it over and over. Your write up has up to 8 forms, Do you just buy 2x forms?

Good job all I haven't been able to read the entire lot, but the one's I've manage are top notch.

I get mine today!!!! I get mine today!!!! I get mine today!!!! My FLAG finally manage to get one. Guess I'll have to take back some of the things I've said about them

Ok maybe I just never thought of it this way, but. It was mentioned that armor by it's nature is invis. So IF this is true would it mean that if you buy armor this isn't just your tough skin you would be entitled to the Visible power limitation? Assuming it's not focused of course

I like the writeup. Nicely thought (no pun intented) out and writen up.

Please post the hdc file. I like him, bit high here or there for my taste. But a very good job regardless

take the limitation side-effect. Could work for it. Character doesn't take damage or such but it's obvious that he's been there

Well as of now Prof X, Beast & Wolverine are the support/teachers. Wolvie can easily be the martial arts instructor. I will also be adding in other Xmen NPC's as well as my own NPCs. I'll be using both Marvel characters, DOJ/Hero characters and my own. I've debated adding in Banshee & Emma Frost to the teachers list and then add Siren to the Character list. Still have a few write ups to do. Waiting to do Rogue till I ket th USPD. Only problem is my FLAG can't seem to get one ordered.

Count me in!!

You could always take a small pool to get the feel of how many would purchase them, even at the higher price than the previous packs. Give you atleast a idea if it would be worth it or not.
