Arac-4105

Re: Your "Oh #@$%!" Moment My first long-running Champions campaign (being run by someone else), my character Arac saw two people on a pier, one holding a gun on the other. Being the incredible n00b that i still am, my first reaction was to have Arac use his webbing to entangle the gun. I figured that the entangle would stop the bullet. My GM declared that the gunsel shot first and killed the person I was trying to save. And that was one of many ''Oh #@$%!'' moments in that game.

Re: Attacks That Follow The Target. Just throwing my $0.02US in here, but how about: Indirect, Takes Extra Time (1 turn) This would let the attack "follow" the target for a turn, jinking and avoiding things like barriers and chaff and such. Just an idea. =)

Re: Superhero Legacy. Passing on a Name Well............... seeing how my "hero" is nothing but a gene-freak, I really doubt this'll ever come up.

Re: Superhero X and the Fur Con of DOOM! Arac-4105 is already visibly half spider, thanks to his origins (Gengineered critter) Breakdown would most likely wind up as a bear of some sort. Black or Brown, since he's not very big. His style is really just "get in close and smack 'em around" for the most part. Mythic is already a real half-horse, so might wind up with a horse's head to go with that centaur body.

Re: Alternate Earth #23(?): Living In The Wild, Wild West Arac -- Gene engineering wasn't well known back then, and even Dr. Moreau might not be able to whip up something like him. True to the Ol' West spirit, I'd have to say he's a shaman (possibly Native American, possibly other) who can call on the powers of the Spider, and occasionally the form. Breakdown -- Most likely one of those strapping, lantern-jawed heroes, specializing in defeating all kinds of crazy Steampunk contraptions. His prodigious knowledge of things mechanical allows him to bring these iron brutes down with little more than a touch in the right place.

Re: You Are President! Arac: Let's see... a genetic construct who's less than ten years old. Why'd he even get written in?! "If nominated, I will not run. If elected, I'll run away as fast as I can!"

Re: How to Build: A Timelord

Re: Whatever Can Go Wrong Silly suggestion: Carmen Miranda's ghost appears (maracas drive crew crazy) Serious suggestion: Despite regular exercise from the crew, their bones still lose mass and turn so brittle that pushing buttons regularly breaks fingers.

Re: Purple Powers I'm surprised nobody's remembered the technology from DC's Wonder Woman. The Purple Ray was a healing device, so this guy might be a ranged healer, or fighting zombies (who get 'hurt' by being healed).

Re: Disad for Impossibly Good Health... Heh, how about this? Hunted: Medical Profession, 8 or less, NCI, want to imprison character. Any doctor who found a patient in that good a shape with a diet that hideous would love to know why, and how he could profit from it (diet book, miracle pill, etc).

Re: Old Immortal RPG Immortal: the Invisible War? *shudder*

Re: Small Stuff Luckily the Hero System is pretty abstract, so you could change the scale of one Game Inch to be 10cm (4 inches, 1 rat length?) with very little difficulty. If you have access to a copy of GURPS Bunnies & Burrows, it might give some further advice, since they scaled down "normal" to rabbit level in that game.

Re: Kung Fu Animals I know it wasn't, but at the time I was too tired to type out the word "anthropomorphic."

Re: Kung Fu Animals Today JorrJorr reminded me of Jadeclaw, a very Asian-flavored funny-animals RPG. If you want to reproduce the whole 'Kung-Fu Panda' thing, I highly recommend this system, if you can find a copy at your FLGS.
