In particular is the Autofire on his Strength with the Accurate (+1/2) advantage attached. Normally this is a no-no and you may want redo this one with a Hand Attack instead. Also, He has another one of those pesky Autofire Damage Shield NNDs for his Teleport Nausea. See my Rogue writeup for comments on this. Lastly. he has a Skill Called Performance which is based on Presence and is priced like Artist on Colossus' entry. It measures the performers ability to hold an audiences attention and entertain them.

Re: X-men characters This is one of those hokey powers similar to "My armor simulates my dodging". Cyke was getting KOed on a regular basis with his 10PD/ED. So, I gave him additional armor with the SFX "I can't give up, the X-men need me!" kind of thing. I needed Normal Defense for him and this was the first idea for a SFX I had. YMMV.

Re: X-men characters Good call! That's the best alternative to what I did. Only difference is that the different advantages allowed would have to be pre-approved into a list like the MP has. GMs take note!

His first MP has three slots that can be enhanced by almost any of the naked advantages in the second MP. I did this because I felt that most times Gambit only throws a basic EB or occasional RKA. However, there are times he does "gawd-almighty" with his cards or whatever flotsam he gets his hands on. These explosions and other attacks never seem to do any less damage than his standard attack (in fact, the opposite seems true). So, in his case, I allowed this triple stop-sign ability of enhancing one power with a naked advantage. To keep Gambit in line with the rules, remove the first multipower and add a 12D6 EB to all the slots in the second MP (you might also add the 4D6 RKA and 8D6 EB zero END in this MP). Also, the GM should make allowances for the attack used corresponding to the type of object Gambit has. Lightweight objects (like playing cards) typically do Normal damage, while heavy or glass-like objects (lead pipes, trash-can lids, pane of glass) can do Killing Damage

Personally, I see nothing wrong with this, particularly in light of naked advantages in multipowers that enhance a characters STR. Also, like many of the X-men, Marvel Girl is mostly a character built around a set of powers. Because of this, I didn't leave much room for skills. If you want to increase her skills reduce some of her characteristics (like EGO, INT and PRE to 18 and EGO to 23) to shore up the difference.

Re: X-men characters You got me, I asked myself this as well. But, it's in the HERO FAQ section under "Questionite Skeleton". I think it comes into play if opponents have Logan in a grab and go to use a "bonebreak" ability or I could see it being applied by the GM to Logan being in a high-speed crash where the BODY damage would normally bust him up to FUBAR levels. Mostly I use it as an excuse to allow him a post segment 12 recovery when his STUN is at -20 to -29.

Re: X-men characters Here's my version of Rogue, but note that she doesn't have the same powers as Rogue. I built her along the lines of Mimic from the Marvel comic "Exiles". Once she has touched a character their powers are hers to use whenever she wants.

First is the Life Drain which is built using the house rule that Damage Shield costs a straight (+1) without adding Continuous (notice I added the +1/4 advantage to Damage Shield that allows her to use it without a Grab attack). Second is the use of Autofire to give Rogue what effectively becomes a 10D6 NND attack. This is a big no-no. Third is the "skin to skin contact" limitation, I'm sure it's value is less elsewhere (I couldn't find an official reference) but it imposes a negative modifier in combat depending on the amount of skin covered by the opponents clothing [anywhere from bikini (-0 OCV) to typical superhero costume (-2 OCV) and normal clothing with only head and hands exposed (-4 OCV)] There should also be a STOP sign on her VPP. In play, this makes her one of the most powerful X-men, bar-none. I've allowed her to mix and match the abilities she's gained from her teammates and opponents. A combination of Colossus' Strength with Wolverine's Constitution and claws makes her a formidable brick capable of 6D6 HKA. I suggest for lower levels of play to limit either the amount of characters that can be copied at one time or allow her to only replicate 1/2 the active points of the copied power. With a little work, I think many gamers could mold this charcter into a more accurate version of Rogue. This is merely my preferred version of her (were I writing the X-men, that is). This version is where I would have Rogue just after permanently draining, in this case: killing, another mutant and gained a portion of their strength, flight and toughness. For SFX of experience spent, allow Rogue to accumulate the powers of those she has reduced to zero BODY or below and buy these powers outside of her VPP. She can still express the powers of her victims with her VPP, but must fight against any contrary Psych Limitations they possessed when doing so.

A little while back I started making HERO versions of the x-men as a mental exercise. This grew into doing a few solo-rpg sessions and running a few full scale combats. I've had so much fun I thought I'd share my write-ups with you guys and maybe give a little of my inspiration energy to my fellow heroes and heroines on the messageboard. (Originally I intended these writups for new players who want to play a character "like" wolverine or cyclops. Think of these as quick-start templates) A few things to take note of, these X-men have no connection to any established continuity save one of my own making. I've included the disadvantages I used for each, but they are by no means an attempt to accurately replicate the original character. All these characters were built to my champaign's specifications for supers games: 250 point base + 100 points in disadvantages. I also allow beginning characters to have up to 5 "Quirks" (1 point flaws described in GURPS) that may be purchased past the Disadvantage limit. Also, these charcters were built with my house rules. Where these rules pop up I'll give an explanation at the end of the character listing. As always, disregard what you don't like or would never allow in your game. In almost every case, changing these powers back to the official rules will increase the point total of the character.

I've made extensive use of the rule that allows Martial damage to add to advantaged attacks without being reduced in effect. This doesn't go over well in some campaigns, so remember to adjust his claws final damage if you disallow this option. His Claws are bought with the restrainable limitation to simulate that certain holds and restraints render his claws ineffective.

Re: (newbie) The Downside of Density Increase If I were making a Density brick for a game that enforced the environmental damage I'd use the "I'm really cancelling my weight with my flight" excuse to build a limited increase with Strength, PD, ED and KB resist. I might also use the extreme rubber physics SFX that the mass I'm generating has non-Einstienian universe properties that cause it to be irregularly affected by gravity. Hit my PC, blow him up, drop him out of a plane it's like affecting a brick wall. But, he can still sit in the rowboat down on the pond in back of the Hero-HQ and fish. Wacky!

Re: VOICE of DOOM bump

Re: Vampire the masquerade Lord Liaden you have my official permission and thanks to add those links to your thread. I hope I can make the next PDF look even slicker than this one. (I'm also really looking foward to doing another version of this for Vampire: the Requiem)

Re: Vampire the masquerade Back in 4th ed it was no big deal having a Transfer "Heal up" your END reserve. Once 5th changed that, I used an Aid linked to the bite (so a vampire could feed in one phase and use the blood in the very next phase if he needed) and a limited REC that would match the fade rate on the Aid. When characters regularly move at Speed 6+, every phase counts, they can't wait for that post-turn REC to kick in.

Re: Vampire the masquerade All thanks for the plug, Lord Liaden. I have a 5th edition update available if anyone wants me to e-mail it to them. It's about a 900k pdf that the HERO site has trouble loading up for me. So I'll have to e-mail it instead, until I get a reliable host on the web that is. If you can't wait, then see if either of these links work for you: http://www.geocities.com/myndovamadda/Hero_Vamp_Masquerade_A.pdf http://www.geocities.com/myndovamadda/HERO_VAMP.zip Now that I have 5ER and Dark Champs, I'm going to revise the rules we use even further and add the Werewolf and Mage stuff we've used. I'll be starting that as soon as I end our current HERO-vampire story-arc in 2 weeks. (added links in edit)

Re: VOICE of DOOM Hey all! I've been following along on this thread and am very pleased with the VOICE updates. I'm definately taking these write-ups home and tweaking them for my games. VOICE of Doom was one of those supplements I bought on a lark some years ago and never really made use of (Zodiac Conspiracy won my attention back then). I may just see how my 350-point X-men team can do against them (another side project to keep me busy). I also wanted to share some images of the main heroes in the adventure supplement I made with HEROMACHINE v1.1 from http://www.heromachine.com/ You might find these useful for making paper miniatures or placing in the character writeups in your records. I'd like to do the villains, but heromachine's a little limited in what it can depict. Maybe if I had v2.0 (maybe one day) I'm really glad to see some love for a blast from the Champion's past. Keep it up!

Re: Vampire teh Masquerade using the HERO System (second try) I hope that if you become independantly wealthy you'll spend it on something better than a plane ticket to Oklahoma (starting your own game company and making me head developer would be a good start though When I read the cantrips use for the magic power skill in Fantasy HERO, I just had to use it. It's just too cool of a way to explain minor magic effects without buying niggling little spells for it all. Plus, getting a little more use out of the magic skill is always a good idea. I agree that gaining a Derangement is too severe, but it's what I have to do for my group. Otherwise, losing humanity just doesn't have any teeth to it, so to speak (my Tremere player: "So, your telling me that if I kill innocent people I'll lose humanity... BUT my character will stop feeling bad about it? Somebody find me a baby to eat!"). In V:tM, you only gain a derangement if you botch the conscience roll. Similarly, you could gain a derangement only if you roll a 18 on your conscience roll, I definitley should include this as an option on the next draft. As for the ghoul's "combat frenzy", this was a matter of taste on my part. In most of the fiction I've read, the ghouls were no different than other humans when it comes to fire or injury. They do seem to lose control rather frequently when it comes to fighting, so I gave them an altered version of the vampire's own enraged disadvantage.

Re: Vampire: the Masquerade using the HERO system Thanks everybody. I really appreciate all the help. Good news, I have a low-res version of it hosted at a friends site. You'll find it here: http://www.metiertigris.com/Hero_Vamp_Masquerade_A.pdf

Like Bullwinkle says, "This time for sure. Presto!" http://www.metiertigris.com/Hero_Vamp_Masquerade_A.pdf You can get a copy of my first draft document here. Let me know what you think (it's 900kb large, so dial-ups may take a while).

Re: Vampire: the Masquerade using the HERO system LOL Well, of course this would happen. I'm out of options unless someone wants to host the file for me. Guess that'll teach me to get my hopes up. Sorry everyone.

Re: Vampire: the Masquerade using the HERO system I tried to attach the PDF file to the above post but I keep getting told "Document contains no data" and it gets denied. What's going on?

Re: Vampire: the Masquerade using the HERO system Damn Geocities and their black-hearted masters! I changed the link to a zip file, this SHOULD allow you to download it. Wish me luck.

I finally got a near complete version of the document I've been working on. It's my group's rules for using the Hero System to play Vampire: the Masquerade. I now have it updated to the 5th edition and I'm kinda proud of it. Take a look and see what you think. You'll find the PDF in a zip file here. Just right click and save. I also want to thank Robert Harrison for all his help and input and W. Jason Allen for his excellent vampire template in Digital Hero #6.
