Re: How do you Keep from having your Mind Read? I can't control his mind! His brain's just too tiny! Anaxphone, I guess this is why villian mentalists haven't dominated all the politicians...

Re: Converting 4th Edition Thank you- I didn't know if that would be a legitimate -0 Lim, or would somehow be considered an Advantage... Anaxphone

Re: Converting 4th Edition This sounds quite appropriate for my blaster. I suppose I shall have to look for a more detailed description somewhere or wait until the guy with the book comes back to town in a few months... But what if I wasn't trying to emulate the effects of an Ego Attack (no Body, no Knockback, no effect on inanimate objects), but instead something designed to stun and knock around a target without doing permanent damage? Reduced Penetration plus some form of "Reduced Knockback" would be a way to model it, I suppose. The answer about Cross-Linking was precisely what I was looking for. Thank you. Anaxphone

Re: Converting 4th Edition First off, thank you to everyone who has responded to help me out.

I'm trying to make a character for possible play under fifth edition rules, but don't want to pay $50 until I'm sure I will play the game enough to justify the purchase to both myself and my wife. I have found a copy of fourth edition as well as Sidekick to use. I'm sure that somewhere somebody has a handy conversion guide for 4->5, but I haven't found it yet. Could anyone give me a hand? Anaxphone, TIA

Re: Non-"adventuring" Metahumans It's a good series. I was especially impressed by the writing in the issue where one of the students "borrows" the daughter of the first metahuman hero in their universe from the past to get information for a school report. It touches upon some very good points. Oh, and they have a supervillian-to-be who's had a chip implanted that replaces any attempt to curse with other, non-offensive words. When he really lets loose, it tends to be transformed into showtunes. Anaxphone, and it's PS 238, BTW

Re: Newbie Seeks Character Creation Help I just have to ask- why would a grey squirrel cost nearly triple the amount of a deer? Anaxphone, do Champions squirrels come with Death Rays standard issue?

Re: Newbie Seeks Character Creation Help I'm pretty sure my wife could live with that. It wouldn't have wings, so no flight and if she needed a combat form, it would be the stag or boar. Perhaps it's just the most impressive form (wow the locals and all that)? I think I've seen references to a "Presence Attack" for that sort of thing. Anaxphone, "I'm a mighty dragon, Rarwr!"

Re: Newbie Seeks Character Creation Help

Re: Newbie Seeks Character Creation Help Now forgive me if this is a naive question, but we really are new to Champions and do not own the rulebook. Does buying it as a multipower make it so she could only do one of those at a time? Control the weather or shapeshift, but not both at the same time since points are currently dedicated to power A and cannot fuel power B at the same time? And would the point cost for the package above be 65 points? Anaxphone, thanks for the prompt responses

Greetings, all. My wife and I have been gaming for a long while, but this upcoming Saturday will be our first time with Champions. Another of the players has offered to help us write up our characters, and he has mine done. (I might post it to see if anyone has suggestions of tweaks after I get a chance to play with it once...) He was having difficulty with my wife's character, whose concept is something of a hard-drinkin', hard-livin' druidess. As far as powers go, she wanted to be able to change into appropriate sidhe beasts (larger, white-with-red-markings versions of the beasts of the celtic isles- stag, mare, boar, that sort of thing) and have some weather control (at least enough to make it rain or shine- as she puts it "chucking lightning bolts would be fun, but not required"). The characters were 250 point with an option for another fifty if you'd been active for a while (but I think the Gm would tack on equal disads to level it out?) Could anyone help us out, we would be highly appreciative. Anaxphone, TIA
