Re: Manned Giant Robot Similar to how you see quotes, but instead of Quote /quote you use url= /ur It will go: [*url=*http://www.herogames.com/forums/showthread.php?t=65873 ]Type what you want here[*/url*] Just don't use any of the asterisks. You can do the same for spoilers:

Re: Manned Giant Robot Tsk, tsk, Bubba Smith, this is the internet - we need links, like this: "Check out the thread Villian Gigamax for details." I can't believe you expected us to look for it ourselves.

Re: Manned Giant Robot While sizing is objective, if my characters saw a 10' Minuteman Robot coming them, they wouldn't stop to think/say "Gosh, that's a small robot." Despite the title of the thread, I believe Checkmate was actually looking to build a battle suit, not a robot. A 12' tall battle suit would be giant, in my opinion. YMMV.

Re: Ape Name Needed I like that, but monkeys are not apes.

Re: Ape Name Needed Cop: Sir, it looks like a cyborg gorilla ran rampant through here. Detective: That's Incriminaping evidence!

Re: Completely Undetectable

Re: Less Educated In real life, someone without a third grade an higher education would lack several skills we take as commonplace: writing in cursive, multiplication, adding three-digit numbers, social studies (from understanding basic geography to history), science, and probably socialization, depending upon what the "realm of shadows" was like. If your character was discarded into the realm and left alone, then a closer to reality application would be the equivalent of children raised by dogs, giving your character at best, the eduction/mentality of an 8 or 9 year old, but more likely he would have degenerated into basic, primal thinking. (Your character has had maybe four years of education followed by six years of no education.) In the end, it would depend upon what happened to the character in the shadow realm and how far you're willing to go for this niche.

Re: Death of the Jester The only changes I noticed were that the shooter is a civilian and he shot a corpse and then kicked a corpse. If that's it, then so?

Re: Completely Undetectable OK, my apologies. I'm having a piss-poor day (started with my computer chair breaking) and must have read something that wasn't there or intended.

Re: Your "rule of X" type character building guides? I've usually just followed the guidelines, but in my most recent campaign I used the following: Add your DC + SPD + Average Def [(PD+ED)/2], + OCV (ECV) + DCV (or ECV, again) + Skill levels. These should equal 60 or less. A more detailed explanation (and reasoning behind the formula) can be found here.

/bump I've had to look at this the past two days and it's a mean sucker to find.

Re: Completely Undetectable Verbatim? No. It still probably falls under the 25 point "Utterly Convinced of His Own Superiority And Destiny To Rule The World (Very Common, Total). Considering he has a 150 pt MP with 7 slots, a 125 pt MP with 7 slots and a 90+45 VPP, he doesn't need it listed. Of course, if you're sole 'point" is base on semantics, then fine. If you're actually referring to the subject and conversation, then you should (and would) realize that Dr. D. would not use Magic under any circumstance.

Re: Completely Undetectable

Re: Completely Undetectable "[Doctor Destroyer] reserves his particular hatred for... groups like DEMON which rely on magic instead of technology (which he considers foolish and dangerous, since wiardry cannot be controlled or scientifically analyzed)." CKC, p. 9-10 Because magic is not his theme. It's not genre for Dr. D. to be using magic.

Re: Completely Undetectable

Re: 3 That's what made me wonder if this was a serious campaign or simply a Monty Python/comedy type. In the end it doesn't matter.

Re: 3 Huh. Weird. OK.

Re: 3 Out of curiosity, considering the quotes and campaign usage, is this a Monty Python type campaign, or one of seriousness, or action comedy?

Re: Manned Giant Robot

Re: The Price of Hiring a Villain From the original post, it reads more of "What would the villain ask for" not necessarily "what does the villain receive." I would think a criminal such as Telios would ask for DNA (that's his area after all) and a pardon/immunity/amnesty, though he'd only expect to receive at the best immunity from the crimes he admits to, which puts him in the double-edge "If I admit to something they know nothing about, what will they discover?" crossed with "If I don't admit this and they find out about it" quandry. Considering the heroes/authorities had to find a way of contacting this villain once, then they have the means in place to finding him in the future. That's my opinion of it. YMMV.

Re: Manned Giant Robot Where do you live that 12' tall beings wouldn't be considered giants?
