Re: Generator Rex and cast Hm, was there a mechanic attached to this effect or was it a plot device?

Re: Equipment stripping Here's an interesting fringe case. OIF: Objects of opportunity.

Re: Eyes up here, soldier! If those struck you they'd knock you out. O.O And it would be totally worth it. :-D

Re: Equipment stripping Me personally? I would only become upset if it kept happening constantly and I could nothing to prevent or mitigate the situation. Sometimes bad things happen to your character. It's part of the fun (for me). It might annoy me if a player was denied access to the ability despite having justification for it but it regularly used on the PCs. OIF can be a difficult limitation to bring into play in some types of play so the occasional device to make it worth the points it earned doesn't seem that bad to me.

Re: Equipment stripping Transform is one of the workhorse powers in Hero System (Along with EDM and now Change Enviornment). If an effect doesn't fit or work anywhere else it tends to get filed under one of those.

Re: Do you do full character sheets for NPC heroic suoers? Sorry about the typo in the header.

I used to do full character sheets for pretty much every superhuman NPC. I've fallen out of the habit recently and tend to just "wing it" when it comes to NPC heroes. Usually they are their to prove a point (often to be "worfed"), for color or for pure role play so attributes aren't really required.

Re: Generator Rex and cast Yeesh, complicated. Maybe Van Kliesse's EVOs have a Complication of some kind or Rex's ability is the heal back condition for his Transform? But then why would it wear off...

Re: Equipment stripping Sometimes I think you could do a whole book just on Transform.

Re: Generator Rex and cast Good point. It seems to be at least partially time related. I recall Rex only had a limited time to heal Noah before his transformation became permanent?

Re: Generator Rex and cast I'm really stumped. All the methods presented have their merits. Rex "feels" like a Multipower in a few ways but if he's constantly pulling unusual tricks with his builds then a VPP or multiform might be more appropriate.

Re: Does anyone allow Followers, Bases, etc to get Disadvantages/Complications for po That's true. I try to police Disad/Comps a little more strictly for Followers, etc. Does it hinder the character or make them notable less useful for their general purpose, etc. I admit I have allowed some just because they make the Perk more "interesting" and useful for plot devices from time to time.

Re: Does anyone allow Followers, Bases, etc to get Disadvantages/Complications for po Nice to know I'm not alone.

Re: Enforcer84's Occasional HERO Content Depository Very cool character!

Re: Gorilla Grond - from typo's are mighty heroes made (6E) This also has R rated potential.

Re: Generator Rex and cast Maybe some of the alternate uses for his machines would be considered power stunts (blowing targets away with the fans) and special effects (ramming people could be a flying Move Through/Move By for instance)?

Re: How to handle the Clash of the Titans Yeah or a Physical Limitation: Achilles Heel: The Gorgon's gaze. You could get some of its Body as "Not vs Transformation" too.

Re: ADVANCED PLAYER'S GUIDE II -- What Do *You* Want To See? And maybe Computers too.

Re: Generator Rex and cast lol If you'd be willing to post anything I'd appreciate it.

Has anyone attempted to write up Hero System sheets for Generator Rex and his supporting cast (Six, Bobo, Van Kleise etc) in either 5th and 6th Edition?

Re: Gorilla Grond - from typo's are mighty heroes made (6E) The Dork Knight The Amazing Spiner Man

Re: Does anyone allow Followers, Bases, etc to get Disadvantages/Complications for po My experience has been positive overall. Sometimes a tricky player will try to sneak something through but that comes up with just about everything.

I do and it works pretty well but I was wondering if anyone else did?

Re: Equipment stripping Depends on the style of belt. But that's goes with what I was sayhing. Its such a situational ability that writing it up as a power would probably be more trouble than its worth. There are some excellent ideas in this thread for a similar ability that would be more reliable and wider in scope but for what I'm looking it seems like some hand waving would work best. Well yes some rings are Foci. If for example, my magic ring can never be removed against my will, is indestructible and I can summon it instantly and unfailingly onto my finger then its a special effect not a Foci*. There are many characters that have objects that look like Foci but really aren't and since fiction doesn't work by Hero System rules many more that don't fall neatly into any game mechenic so you have to make a judgement call if you write them up in game terms. I'm not sure where GL rings fit in since I don't know the details about them. *even though some or all of these facts might be circumvented as part of a plot device

Re: Equipment stripping Here is my original post with the relevant parts bolded for emphasis Rings are a fringe case. Some slide off with the smallest effort, some don't. I'm not sure if GL can be easily removed or not (they might not even be Foci in Hero System terms).
