Thanks DT I hope you liked what you saw (I really like Dr. Plim) Glad to hear you got the help you needed. I am only now realizing how toxic my wife is. You would think after the children, her family, and basically anyone who had ever dealt with her exited our lives I would have got the picture. Been a lot more me since she has not been around... Honestly things are nor that bad (except not teaching). I have come to accept that being happy will always be a struggle, but at least I am not wallowing in self loathing

When times are low, I seem to come back to these boards I continue my heroic fight against depression and anxiety (for those who don't understand, it means I know someday I will loose to it, but that day is not today.) I am almost divorced (I initiated it, it is sad, but unfortunately I could no longer put her wellbeing ahead of my own, that is why I suffer from depression in no small part) To combat the loneliness, the depression, etc...I have started doing game supplement stuff. Currently working on my Star Knight idea. After that planning on the first piece of the Fox's Armory (some of you might remember my Ultimate Utility Belt thread, this is an outgrowth of that). Also might start doing something with the San Corona Gazzette and Fox is dead campeign. But wanted to come by and say I'm back, till I'm gone again

Because reasons, I would say northern CA, to tie it into this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coast_City

What I am aiming for specificaly: Death Spore hits earth tranforms a small town then transforms the county etc... so the heroes are on a counting clock...figure the bomb should take a month the transform the planet and the heroes get called in when it is just starting past the little of no where town

I agree that he is a high defense character, but defiantly think of this archetype as having high defense (even higher than Bricks), this was one of the reasons I originally went with Damage reduction as it becomes more efficient the higher the damage done is. I will consider the changing martial strike into a "Target Fall" maneuver.

Is there a way to use the power aid to increase the level of advantage (in this case it would be for it to cover a larger and larger Megascale on an AE:explosion on a transform). This IS for a supervillain doomsday device, not a PC...

Probably, it is hard for me to imagine saving something so first steps however...

I like Oozin' on through...I wanted to include a second name to represent using the power to let items go through him (the big hole in the chest type of thing)...but Oozin might work for both

I think the underwater rules were in Atlantis...

more details, the file is a competent normal, with 19 points in attributes (Dex, Int, PRE and Com) and nothing else...not sure why, but this file is driving me to distraction

Wonder if something like that was in 5th beastiary

Found an old 5th edition HDc file named jujub wondering if it was part of a pack or something...if so which one ..any help?

Little bit of hi jacking, but we all know that many early Champions characters shared DNA with Marvel or DC characters. Did these two also share some and if so with whom?

My question is more about how detailed the build should be compared to hand waving aspects. The idea that if a blast is going to do more damage in a reasonably common situation (say underwater) then it should be written on a sheet, or that you just allow the special effect to carry the day and give it without it being on the sheet

Hey Hugh, THANK YOU for this I will be taking a lot of your suggestions to heart. The guidelines I am using are here I will rename the coiled strength to include the sledge hammer hands

Thanks for the suggestions, and for the record your pun got a spontaneous giggle from me

Ok, so the basic idea is to make some fairly generic characters as "here you go" or "Starting points". Avoiding the more than a little complicated builds I lean towards. The "Customizations" especially are intended to be swapped out. I really did think of going with a wealth option, but as I thought about the various royal heroes they actually don't seem to have the wealth perk, even though their nation might be wealthy they them selves don't seem to be (Thinking Black Panther, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Namor, etc...) As for the multipower the idea is full body manipulation things, so gliding is the parachute/kite/hang glider thing, while the desolid is the slipping under the door or making holes to let things pass through....the MP (which version 2 has decreased) represents how much body they have to use

Defiantly, with either less severely or frequency than the Power armor guy who has everything on OIF. Especially considering cold based environments cause drain damage as well. I guess the way you said it made me feel like a GM was being malicious instead of trying to craft a story with reasonable expectations. At -1/4 I would expect it to affect the character about 1/2 as often as the OIF battle suit dude goes without his suit (or more often but partial affects)

Good thinking on the Dex and Regen, not so sure I agree with the idea of it nukes the whole character. Yes every power gets drained, but unless you have a vindictive GM this is a general weaking instead of a giant middle finger type of thing

Good point, it is a left over when I started the character as more of an investigator (3 of the 4 stretchers I could think of had an investigation bent)...

So some of you are familiar with my Generic Heroes on my website, I think I am almost finished with the 8th one Bendy, but I like peer review, so here is the art and character sheet before I add him to the website.

So, here's the story on that one...I had not planned it, but it is a GREAT idea...so the answer will be defiantly for the 2 aliens on the earth team (Jollth and Dr Plim) & maybe some more...

Champions Complete is good for getting into 6th
