Re: Making a PC for a true newbie...help
For your character it is a straight forward blaster, not too crazy, although there are alot of powers to choose from. Might want to get rid of a few and add some more skills to represent the thief/rogue background. As stated earlier is this person a mutant or a skilled human? If a skilled human with TK reduce the dex and con and maybe give a few overall combat levels.
I am planning on running a game in the future, i hope, for a group of players new to champions (well maybe if I can convieve them its a cool game). All the gamers are experienced but only 1 has played champions before but only 1 short campaign. My idea was to ask each player for a concept and list of powers listed by priority. I was going to make the characters for each of them and then sit them down and go over the character.
As a house rule for our group we allow the player to make minor changes after the first few games as they get to know the character. This is useful if we play a game system that is new or for some reason what you had in mind isnt what you ended up with.
