  1. Okay, I have been thinking again (I know, terrible thing to do) Howmany of you use Summon as written? Most specificaly the Summon specific individual modifier? See here is my general problem, if I can summon a king, or someone important then I agree with the general idea of the modifier, but what happens when I can summon a specific being who is not important? The fact that I can summon the XJ-71 Robot that belongs to me should not imho cost more than if i can summon any XJ-71 Robot So in closing I consider this modifier to be similar to the DNPC modifier of useful
  2. After listining to everyone I think I am going to compromise, and give a base of 25+75 in disads, then up to 5 XP a sesion, until they are at 75+75, then drop xp to the normal 1-3 I normaly give. My thoughts on it are this, I want the characters to become heroes, as a hero is 75+75 this gives them the ability to grow to that level quickly, I also don't want to drown them in options but want to make sure they have some... I'm going to write up some "classes" and "races" as package deals to help these guys convert over, and am currently working on the magic system,,,
  3. By the way here is a pic of the fellow
  4. And that is the correct answer, the character is a French version of Zorro mixed liberaly with Dumas style Muskateers, and a touch of Scarlett Pimpernail PS: your comments should of been addressed to Barghest, as I posed the original question Barghest, thanks for the info, I will work iit into his background somehow...
  5. The issue is that I am GMing neophytes, this will be at most there second experience with hero, there first being a Western CHAMPIONS (not Western Hero) adventure I did a while ago. They wanted Fantasy, but not D&D (3.5 ticked them off) so it was either Gurps or Hero, and I'm the one who owned both
  6. starting a FH game, kind of want power levels to be similar to AD&D (2nd) 1st level character, but rapid advancement, what is a good starting point?
  7. Can a character put two or more powers in that are only linked by F/X (but not necesarily by any rules) For instance, Jet gliderwings in a inventors 30 MP 5" Flight: Fuel Charge lasting an hour (I think that is a +0, Away from book right now) 20" Gliding all as one slot in his MP,
  8. My Centurians project has many characters from other countries, some of them are the national heroes of there countries: We have Renard, a french swordsman (props to whoever gets the name first) Red Knight, a russian Supersoldier Mut, a Brick from Germany and his brother Der Unbezwingbare (The Unconquerable) Rising Sun is from Japan the list continues...
  9. My Method is this: A summons (Probes) then on the vehicle use a clairsentience with only the senses of another You will also want a Mind Link for controling the buggers The summons should be 100% loyal, and if you wanted could arm them with micro lasers or some such This is an interesting idea I will need to expllore in more detail later
  10. Okay, a little more details: What I am looking fo r is something similar to the disad in DC Heroes (From Mayfair) called Traumatic Flashbacks The character is pictured as behaving like this, at random times (GM Discresion) he will experience flashes of someone elses life. The whole story, is that he is a robot and that the reason for the AI is that the spirit of a real person has bounded to him, sometimes it creates glitches...
  11. Really? weird... Most of what I know about Wicca I learned from "Charmed"... I actually based it mostly off of "The Force" with some blatent rip offs from the old Marvel SuperHero Game
  12. Re: Re: I just became a member of the lollipop guild, the LOLLIPOP GUILD I can see your smiling face, all you are IS A Head...
  13. Essentialy the disad means this: If his focus is taken away he also looses his hand...

  15. Wow, I have Speed envy, my 375 point speedsters have a Speed of 7... I might make a NPC Speedster (well I will but have not decided on the next part) with a speed 12, but he will be a mega character...
  16. What if the animal has a bonus (or XP)? Do you still just use the 75 points (If buying it as a follower)? I think the answer is no, but thought I would double check... (Yes see this pod of loyal Hunchback wales, it only cost me 30 points)
  17. I did that as well The idea is the character has a robotic hand, the hand has a variety of settings, most are weapon orientated, he also has a single power to represent if he turns the hand into a pair of scissors, or a funnel, or a lasso, or any of a million little things. That power is (all powers are either naturaly or bought to 0 end, and have the +1/4 var F/X) Extra Limbs (hand) +1 HKA (1/2 KA w/Str) +5 Str (No figured) Clinging Streatching, No velocity damage, limited Body part So if he needs to stick to a building he can do so via this hand, if he needs a hook (to slide down a rope easier?) he has one Now a few mitigating things, this power is in his primary attack MP, and I only took five points for the disad
  18. If I Recall Correctly
  19. I am looking for a disad for a character, in essence when he sees something he STOPS, 0 DCV, just paralysed...what disad is this?
  20. Over on the 5th board somebody has eben asking about dispelling entangles, and I got an idea: Similar to the breakability of foci, you choose when you design the power wether or not a character can dispell his own entangles, but here is the catch, if they can there must be areasonable way others can as well, most appropriate is a successful skill roll (-3 modifier if the person is the entangled, -0 if trying to get a friend out of an entangle). A skill roll is default, but it might be something like when signaled by a certain radio frequency or when it touches salt with GM approval So with Handcuffs the power can be easily dispelled (With a key), for the Magical Restraints of Ashededtad it would be a magical skill roll, what do you all think? just an idea that popped into my head.

    On robot X: I wanted him stronger, faster, more weapon, In general I wanted him to be a 600 point character More specificaly, I wanted him to have a boost pack like Ju has, and other things, the whole bit about the science skills was that he was suppose to serve as Ju's assistent in the lab as well. Ohh well, As for Ju, yes the Incants is a voice activation on her weapon, it is because both of these characters are heavily influenced by Anime, and it just seemed right...
  22. Okay, I have finaly become a total munchkin: Character I am working on has a Phys Lim: Right Hand is a focus then as part of a a compound power in a multipower he has a Extra Limbs, Var F/X (Different hands) He also has clinging, extra Str, HKA, and Streatching in the same compound power I am a munchkin
  23. Actualy a little more, a rarely remembered option is to sell back everyman skills at 1 point each
