  1. Nope, this is not about the generics. This was actually about a Universal Translator device, whether it should be divided into two (One for the reading, one for the speaking, or just one as the earpiece does speech, while the HUD display does the written)...but more to the point was that the thought regarding the one led me down a rabbit hole and curiosity about how others viewed it

    Is Robin a DNPC?

    Was about to stand up for Donna, When I realized that the one I liked started in the early 90's (early Troia) and would agree with almost everything that happened after the whole her son was evil storyline...Then again that whole era was kind of bad
  3. Here are the rough draft of the 3 Squires

    Is Robin a DNPC?

    I'm curious what Titans said he was 8. Even in the earliest days I would peg him at 11-13...(at least the ones I have read, which is the original series)
  5. So working on some stuff, and got to thinking about this: How detailed do you like your write ups? Do you want every single thing written up, with every single limitation, or do you prefer "simple" builds that get close enough As an example Electrical Blast: 12d6 or Electrical Blast 6d6 +6d6 not vs grounded (flying, etc...) (-1) +6d6 vs conductive (standing in water, etc...) -2
  6. My issue with that is if you are not paying points for it does it really need a limitation value...
  7. Here is a Pic of Dr. Plim... I will be removing it when I get all three squires done
  8. Thank you for the kind words. The Generics will be getting one new member (Bendy, as all their names need to start with "B") and I might make the hdc files available via Hall of Champions ($1-2 for all of them). As for the Star Knights, I feel like I would be misleading to not point out that the GLC is more about their niche, the heavy lifting on the inspiration is an old comic from the 90's called Darkstars, the Arthurian legends, and a touch of Space Ghost
  9. Never got into V&V. This is more an organization/NPC thing than an adventure.
  10. One faith based magic system I always liked was a VPP with a limitation that the GM controls it based on prayer, with the more precise prayer often not being answered So Praying that your friends would is healed might be extra REC or healing power, etc...
  11. Hey, letting you guys know...I finally have started working on my second supplement. A guide to Centurion Earth's equivalent to the GLC or Nova Corps, The Star Knights. it will focus on the team on Earth but provide some guidelines for non earth based groups. Character Sheets planned 1. Star Knight Jolith 2. Squire Dr. Plim 3. Squire Janet Wu 4. Squire Jason (Last name pending) 5. Star Knight Cruiser 6. Star Knight Computer 7. Safety Bubble & Computer 8. Cruiser Drones w/ packages All based on a pic from Champions 4th edition that inspired Jolith...

    I always thought he was more 11-13 age at first

    Is Robin a DNPC?

    Wasn't it just a stupid justification to do a Superboy/Robin team up (when Superboy was Superman as a kid)

    Is Robin a DNPC?

    I realize the picture is used a lot for the whole Batman is gay or a pedophile argument. However, taking it at it's face, in regards to this thread. The others are worrying about definite DNPC's (Green lantern is odd here, but...). Batman is worried about Robin.

    Is Robin a DNPC?

    Not sure I agree with that. I think it comes down to the following Does the character need to be saved (or otherwise complicate The heroes life) a lot more often than they help if so DNPC (Lois Lane, Aunt May, sometimes Robin) Does Character provide useful information or resources but for the most part stay out of things? Contact (Jim Gordon, Alfred, Oracle) Help the character "in the field" (Robin, Nightwing, etc...)

    Is Robin a DNPC?

    Just checked some old covers, there are a few where it looks like it is being used for TK, flash, or Blast, but no constructs per se
  17. Out of curiosity, did you cover weird West and Western Champions (Super heroes in the old west ala Lone Ranger and Zorro)
  18. The Following is from reading 6th edition and Champions Complete Having a hard time wrapping my mind around this limitation Conceptually I get it, but mechanically I do not see how this is EVER limiting See, the way END reserve works is that you select powers that CAN use it, this limitation says "These powers can not use it", which of course is already done by not selecting them. So Iron Man says "Restrictive Use: only tech powers"...gee whiz all my powers are tech...No real limitation. An argument COULD be made that he can use his arc reactor to power the toaster, but as he has no transform bread power, the Toaster already cannot be powered.... Seems like a "No real way to be used limitation"\ But JmOz it is for Sci Fi settings and such to represent the engine on the ship...Ok, did you spend points on it in the first place? No real point for the limitation then
  19. As said, yes it is a penalty on faster characters. This is to help balance the advantage they get for their speed (Speed is often underestimated by new players). As said you can "slow" yourself down. You can also use the advantage Reduced Endurance. Also realize that the effect does remain without the continuous endurance cost for a little bit (depending on how well you rolled)...

    At the time (Early to mid 80's) GL's defenses were a turn on aura type of deal usually (at least for the majority of the defenses). Hal has always been a bit full of himself so I could see him thinking "Ohh it's just the kid"...
  21. Exactly what I was going for, SKS stands for Star Knight Squire, group of 3 on earth (Plus a full fledged Knight)
  22. RE Shield, yup already noticed and moved over. Also added a "Gauntlet" to the sword arm and darkened the boots
  23. Character is an intergalactic hero
  24. I basically do this, but tighten/expand based on points. 3 in low powered, 4 up to High powered, 5 above that. Thinking about it, it really seems to come down to (for me) x2 the slowest. In low powered games the slowest will be 3, in standard/high the lowest will be 4....
