Re: Sex and the Single Superhuman Speaking as a married person, it's really not that bad. Children, on the other hand...

Re: H-League Learn something new every day. Even if you don't want to

Re: Background Cliches Lazarus Long's internal monolgue? Yeah, I know it doesn't quite fit. I'm making a funny.

Re: Sex and the Single Superhuman Spartacus: Currently lusting after Weather Girl. Weather Girl has a 20+ COM, and is the only female in the group, so he's competing with an Atlantean prince, a powerful sorceror, an intelligent and charismatic martial artist, and a rugged military hero. Bad. However, Spartacus has an edge, as his player is married to Weather Girl's.

Re: Show me the PC Point.

Re: Show me the PC Got me. There have been some excellent characters posted, though. Maybe everyone's just intimidated Hey, out there, I inflicted my characters on the thread, so can you! I think Nexus just makes us all feel lazy

Re: Show me the PC Tell me about it. Part of it is, I want to leave the backgrounds open so that my GM gets plot ideas, but part of it is I'm not used to writing them down.

Re: Looking for a Symbol I know, just have part of the chest of the costume torn off. If anyone asks the character what the story is, you respond "Restraining order"

Re: Redid Moody Loner: Now even more abusive That, sir, he does.

Re: Redid Moody Loner: Now even more abusive Went back for another look at Keiko. You're much more subtle in ripping off DBZ than I am I can see Moody Loner going "God, I'm going to get sued for this, but... KAAAAAAAA MEEEEHHHH HAAAAAAH MEEEEH HAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!" I originally intended to buy a Super Sayaijin mode with Multiform, but I couldn't afford one worth the points. Thanks, and good pics. I was going to say something snarky about the cheesecake, then I looked back at my portfolio and realized I didn't have room to talk.

Yes, apparently, he dresses himself.Personality: The Baffler is motivated by his greed, and the desire to be taken seriously as a criminal mastermind. Quote:"The bank will be robbed at four o'clock, and you can tell by my tights that I have no...hey, wait a minute! "Background: See an excellent writeup of the Baffler's history at obscure.dcuguide.com.Powers/Tactics: The Baffler generally acts as an enforcer and thug for higher-powered villains...those that don't mind having their plans leaked (incompetently) to the police, press, and any handy superheroes. Cunning villains would use the Baffler to feed misinformation, if cunning villains hired him in the first place. His immunity to magical detection would be a stunning advantage in a Mystic campaign, if he had any idea he possessed the power.Campaign Use: Generally, the Baffler is a good comedic villain for the players to mock. Go to town with him. Have a friendly six-year-old write his "clues" in crayon to hand out to the players. His immunity to mystical detection will keep him from being easily tracked by Mystic heroes...unless they follow him physically, or get a good relationship with his parole officer. To increase his power, you can give him some Combat Levels, a small Brick Tricks MP, and even increase his Characteristics and defenses to real brick levels. I don't see why you'd need to make him less powerful.

Now comes the hard part, cause all the thinky types are bobbleheads, well if the team had any thinky types. Actually, that Russian guy's probably OK, so whenever Dr. Nobody-Knows-Who-I-Am-Or-Where-I-Live shows up, he can tool up a ritual to fix this.

Re: The White Knight defense Looks like they just priced it out of the range of 350 point characters. Dammit. Well, the GM also wants us to make 700 point "experienced" characters...

Re: The White Knight defense Looks like it's time for me to read the FAQ again.

Re: The White Knight defense Yep, a brick. Yes, Autofire is going to be a problem. Particularly as the brick in question is 350 points, so the DCV sucks. It's not Invulnerability, but he should be able to go toe-to-toe with surprisingly powerful opponents, which is all I'm looking for, at least until he has a few exp under his belt. He doesn't have a lot of points to spend on anything else, but that fits the character concept. Hey, thanks for citing my character

He cannot go too long without changing to Chang Jia Li, or he suffers trembling and debilitating weakness. He's noticed that he's becoming stronger and faster as well, and is worried that the shield is gradually making the change to Tao permanent.Quote:Nick: "Someone else will take care of this. I hope. Ahh, dammit, okay, I'll be...umm...back in a minute"Jia Li: "No, it's pronounced...oh, never mind." Background: Nick Karlson wishes he'd never found the shield. It's happened so often it's a cliche. You're out hiking in the wilderness, or working on the archeological dig, and you happen to stumble across the mystic artifact that grants you the power to fight Evil. Naturally there's the scene where the mystic guardian/ancestor spirits/aged sensei explains the powers and responsibilities and shows you how to call on the powers of Captain Whatever, but then you can go on to the good part, kicking ass and getting your name in the papers, right? Well, not for Nick. There have been benefits. Nick Karlson, despite never having had any formal study in the subject, is now reckoned one of the world's top experts on Chinese history and culture, thanks to the ancestor spirits in the shield. His textbooks and novels have enabled him to support his family while quitting his dead-end job in technical support, and in fact have made his family independently wealthy. There are the secrets no Westerner knows, about the secret branch of the Chang family who have passed down the uniform and shield, mother to daughter, since a Thane observer first augmented a Chinese peasant woman with his mystic powers and provided her with a servitor uniform and an enchanted sorvak'kall fighting shield millenia ago. How the Taiji Tu came to the United States in the 1800's to guide and protect her people in the West. And, how the last wielder, now calling herself Tao, fought mystic threats and Bundist saboteurs in the thirties and forties. There is the story of her forbidden love affair with a Japanese man, their wedding against the wishes of both families, and his internment as an enemy alien while his uncle, a sorceror in the service of the Yakuza, lured Tao to the wilderness, murdered her, and left her in a shallow grave. There is the price for his wealth and knowledge, as the Diagram of the Supreme Ultimate transforms him, and Chang Jia Li resumes her mission:to protect her people from the mystic threats of ancient China and modern America. Powers/Tactics: Well, Captain America, kind of. Not exactly the leader-type at this point in her career, Tao will attack enemy blasters, reflecting their attacks back at them or at tougher opponents to soften them up. She attempts to disarm or destroy enemy Foci, and trip enemy Bricks at range. Martial Artists get a shield-bash.Campaign Use: I like Tao. Hope that this one gets picked, but there are three more to go .
