Re: Another: StarWars in my Sandbox
SWEET! I like very much. Thank you for sharing, Rick. Keep 'em coming

Re: Clone Wars Jedi.
I was reading over Star Wars d20 and I noticed that it plays nicely at the old school lower powered Jedi from the original trilogy.But if you watch Clone Wars cartoon on CN you notice that the Jedi are WAY more powerful there.
After tinkering around I have gathered that HERO and maybe MnM are the only systems that could handle this strength level in a consistant way.
(Still relearning GURPS 4e so I shall not comment on it.)
Ever play a Sci-Fi setting with people this powerful?
Yeah, a friend and I alternated GMing a STAR WARS game with Jedi using the package I posted here . It was a blast, but it did tend toward the "Samurai Jack" feel rather than the films. We used the "Force blade fencing" maritial art and the force-blade writeup from Star Hero. The characters were built on 350, so it was a more skill-heavy version of Supers (with equipment and vehicles for free/money of course).
Go to Lord Liaden's post about other games being converted to HERO and scroll down a bit to find all the Star Wars entries. It's a lot of help and you'll find it here . Have fun!

Re: Character for review: Grifter
Having played a version of Gambit on 350 points, I'd say Grifter could hold his own in a group quite nicely. Alone he's gonna have a tough time. For me, I'd drop 8 of his PRE points into his Running (10" total), and use another 2 points from the PRE to buy DEX roll levels thus:
DEX roll +2, Only with Dive for Cover (-1)
Real Cost = 2 points
guys built like Grifter need to be able to get away from AE and Explosions if they can (my Gambit got KO'd a lot B4 I used the DFC Dex levels)

Re: Flipped Die Rolls
I did the same thing about five years ago for the same reasons. I wanted the math to be more intuitive and easy to pick up for new players (amazing how confused they become when you ask them to roll high for damage but low for everything else). I borrowed my method from Bill King's game "Wasteworld", the idea was to convert existing skill roll values into a simple add or subtract bonus to a 3D6 roll.
I decided to take existing skill values and subtract 11, this gives me a range of skill numbers from -3 to +5 (8- to 16- respectively). Your target number in every roll is 10, your 3D6 roll plus bonus must exceed this number. Therefore:
3D6 + Skill bonus > 10
If you use this method, be warned that I skewed the numbers to my own sense of play. To accurately represent the percentages given by HERO skills, subtract 10 (not 11) from the skill level when converting.
We run combat exactly as you described. I find it alot easier to run since combat doesn't come up as often as you might think in our games. Flipping the die roll system has worked great for me, and it requires very little in the way of changing the system. I hope you have the same experience, good luck bringing your friends to the fold.

Re: My Champions page
Very Nice.
Once the navigational links are working it'll be real easy to get around in there. I freaking love the campaign and I sure wish I could play. Alas, I'll try to steer my GM in your sites direction hoping he'll adopt some of your ideas (I wanna fight me some Nazis, gorrammit!) -
Re: X-men characters
Here's my surprise: Travel size minis you can take anywhere with you. I print my character images as 1"x1/2" portraits I fold and tape into a "chit". I print out undersized hex maps that can easily fit on a coffee table and have me some good clean superhero fun.
http://www.geocities.com/myndovamadda/Travel_size.zip
The file is 5.5 Megs so dial-up users be warned, it will take a while. I've gotten a lot of enjoyment out of this set of chits and I hope you can too. Let me know what you think about this as an "RPG to go" option.

Re: X-men characters
Was writing up Dazzler's ability to store transduced sound ever a consideration for you?I have to admit, not really. I failed to look up any other write-ups of Dazzler when I was doing her character. I took her powers directly from the Ultimate X-men and my MSH character entry. I merely took her ability to convert sound to light as a SFX and a good excuse for a 1/4 limitation.
I like this version, because it eliminates the need to track whether she has enough juice -- END aside -- for any particular power, but I remember liking that aspect of her powers for some reason.Also, I've been really enjoying your write-ups of the X-Men. It's nice to see versions that people could potentially play out of the gate. I try to do that when I write up characters as well.
Thanks DrFaust, I appreciate it. It's been alot of fun and I miss the days of the 250 project. I guess this is my attempt at a kind of 350 project for the X-men. I'll have more surprises in a couple of days.

House Rules:
Kitty's Desolidification should also have the ARW advantage on it, but since this pushed the cost just too high I've decided to allow Kitty to phase others while still desolid herself. It's either that or a Cheese-burger deluxe power like NND Transform on a Autofire Damage shield. Since Kitty is a very non-combat oriented character (for the most part) I felt this route was more appropriate.
Electrical Disruption is a super-double-cheese way of getting 10D6 of NND for cheap, a real no-no. I used Energy Blast instead of Dispel vs. Electronics since it should be capable of damaging robotic characters and the like (read: Sentinels).
Resolidification is another cheese power that Kitty will use VERY rarely since it simulates her ability to either phase solid objects into opponents or to actually reach into a person and phase precious body parts out/off of them (a power that's alluded to in the comics but I've never seen her do it).
Kitty's Flight has the No Turn Mode advantage sice it's supposed to simulate her running speed.

Re: X-men characters
Again, the idea isn't to make accurate portrayls of the characters. It's merely to make passable versions of the X-men at 350-355 points. Certainly they can all use another 200-300 (usually more) points to be accurate to the comics as they stand now. I was trying to give myself and beginning players templates to play or use as examples for their own characters.
EDIT: For excellent writeups of the X-men that's much more accurate, I suggest going to the Wild Hunt . Some of the chracters are in 4th ed, but they are constantly being updated to 5th. It's my favorite version of the X-men for Champions.

Re: Gimme a cool challenge...
Uncle Sam wouldn't be too hard, considering that no design is necessary for the fugure...he's already well developed. However, I'd have to get to it eventually and spend the time on it.This help for now? It's the WWII 'Uncle Sam' from my campaign world.
Editing: I'll be pulling this pic soon because of the attachment size limit, so grab it if ya want it. This one was posted on another thread before...only attached it here because of Agent 333's request for an Uncle Sam image.
Sweet! I hadn't thought of the military uniform, very WWII chic. If you have one in his traditional red,white, and blue duds that's be great as well (I love that image of Uncle Sam rolling up his sleeves ready to get some work done. Like kicking some Ratzi tail all the way back to Berlin! HOOO-WA!)

Re: X-men characters
Cool! Thanks! -
Re: Gimme a cool challenge...
I know this is a real pedestrian request, but since I use a lot of paper minis it would be a great help. Any chance you have, or could make, Uncle Sam from the old Quality Comics days (DC owns Uncle Sam now, I beleive). I'd love to use him in my Champions game sometime.

House Rules:
Since I was making x-men that were comparable to their stats as beginning heroes, I wanted Magneto to be at an equally beginning level (for a super-villain that is). This version can pull down some really mean abilities with his VPP (such as enhancing his EB to 28D6), but he's still pretty vulnerable. To make a scarier version of this guy increase his DEX, CON, PRE and EGO to 30; Increase his END to 100+ and double the active points of his elemental control powers.
His hidden laboritory is worth 50pts instead of 25pts because I allow all equipment and bases to be bought for 10 points per one points spent.
P.S. Can anyone tell me if that link to the paper miniatures is working, I can't seem to make it work on my end

Re: Hand to Hand Attack Over Priced?
I came to the same conclusion about HA and what really distinguishes, as far I can tell, is whether it can be allowed in a Framework or not. HA can fit anywhere, but a characterisitc has certain limitations about where it can be placed (This is my understanding, If I'm wrong please correct me).
Myself, I put HA in Frameworks and I buy limited Strength outside framworks like this: STR +10; No Figured (-1/2), Damage Only (-1/4). I sure to be wrong, but the "Non-persistent" (-1/4) limitation may be applicable here as well, lowering the cost by a full HALF. IMO that would be just too cheap.

Re: X-men characters
Gotta disagree with the deletion of Nightcrawler's religious backgrounds & beliefs ... always seemed a core element to the character. Don't get me wrong' date=' he's a swashbuckler as well ... but I always found his Pious nature to be an interesting element to the character.[/quote']But, they havn't been deleted. They're right there on his sheet:
"Fearlessly Heroic" and "Code vs. Killing"
In this case, the reason for these disadvantages isn't because of the generic "Oh, well, you see... he's a Hero". Kurt is this way because of his faith and beleif in God and the greater good. K.S. Religion wouldn't replace that.

Incase any of you use paper minis, here's a link to the minis I made for my game at home. The file is 1.1 meg in size. My minis are a little big so I included an appropriately sized hex map section to print out. Print these on card-stock paper for sturdier minis.

These Sentinels are somewhat fragile, considering the average damage the X-men put down. This was intentional since the idea is to simulate the "can dish it out, but can't take it" aptitude they've displayed in animation and early comics. The Mark I Sentinels are meant to be used in groups. For a Quick fight, throw in one Sentinel per X-man present. For a close battle increase this to 2 per. 3 Sentinels per X-man means you better pray the Phoenix shows up soon 'cause you're gonna be toast (at least with 350 point X-men).

Re: X-men characters
Wouldn't Kurt's skin be a bonus to Stealth? Correct me if I'm wrong (I don't have my rule book handy)' date=' but isn't Concealment concealing items on oneself or area? Also, shouldn't Kurt have a KS: Religion? This has always been a core idea behind the character ...[/quote']Well, I didin't buy the Stealth portion of the "Chameleon Skin" that I took his skin power from (found in USPD) because his Stealth is high as it is. Also, Concealment is also for hiding oneslef as well as objects. Many other systems use a Stelth skill for both the Sight and Sound senses one is hiding from. HERO uses a seperate skill for each (check the Bestiary for an explanation of using Concealment with the Self Only limitation).
As far as the Religious skill, I didn't see the need to purchase what I consider an everyman skill (K.S. own religeon), but I'll say again that this is not THAT Kurt Wagner. This is a character with the same name and similar stats and disadvantages.

House Rules:
MP slot #8 Ice Walls is a simulation of how I envisioned Iceman's ice generation power working in comics and animation. I have allowed Iceman to Sweep the creation of these walls to simulate his ability to swath an area with free standing ice walls. These walls can even be used to create temporary bridges and to hold doorways closed. It's considered these walls normally melt rather quickly (reduce PD and ED by half every 5 minutes).

Storm's MP can be used to enhance the RKA in her EC. Once again, YMMV.
Storm has the Leadership skill [PRE based 3 pts, +1/ 2pts] which allows her gain the atttention of, and lead subordinates on the field of battle. A successful roll allows Storm to reduce PRE attacks against her teammates by -1D6 (-2D6 for a critical roll).

Once the navigational links are working it'll be real easy to get around in there. I freaking love the campaign and I sure wish I could play. Alas, I'll try to steer my GM in your sites direction hoping he'll adopt some of your ideas (I wanna fight me some Nazis, gorrammit!)

Is seduction all wrong?

Re: Is seduction all wrong?
Considering how PRE is used (without skills) it seems to be a measure of Impressiveness and Self-Confidence. In my book, being impressive is not the same as being charming or alluring. You'd have to practice using your impressiveness to make others think you are charming and suave. I think the Seduction skill is a great way to reflect that, for three points you can now get people who notice you to think you are the cat's meow (and the ladies or gentlemen to see you as a prospective sexual conquest).
