Arkham

I'll choose any of the JSA's with the Spectre vs All of the Avengers ever. The Spectre beats them all. :-)

Actually, that would be Sarah Winchester, the Wife of said Winchester Arms millionaire. And the spirits are of everyone killed by her husband's rifles, not just the natives. Mrs. Arkham and I took the flashlight tour for our anniversary on Oct 31... We live in the same city as the Winchest Mystery House, so we try to make a point of getting back there fairly regularly... http://www.aboutfamouspeople.com/article1231.html

My favorite 'future' weapon is from Transmetropolitan... The 'Bowel Disruptor'. It does just what it sounds like it does.... Eww....

None of my characters have, but two of the PC's in one game I've run have had truely obscene skill rolls for some things. Note that this was an 800 point game, so they had points to throw around a bit. One was Golem, a robot secret weapon of the Israeli government with of course an eidetic memory and always on internet connection. So he purchased a very broad skill, KS: Internet at 50- The other was a cosmic traveler silver-surfer type where instead of trying to decide all the star systems he's been to and getting AK for them, he just purchased AK: Milky Way at 40- so he'd have a good ( almost certain ) chance of knowing any general info about any system he might encounter.

Sounds like Marvel's Cloak and Dagger... But evil... IOW, cool...

Only nit I found to pick was that Superman doesn't get the limitation on his N-ray vision for not being able to see through lead. N-ray requires a fairly common substance to block it. But otherwise, it all looks really cool!

I am working on Sword and Sorcery campaign... There are no races but humans. There are no PC spellcasters, for all magic is either derived from demons, or causes the user to go completely mad. I'm liberally applying the Hyperborian feel...

My current campaign is pretty darn cosmic, with the PCs weighing in at around 800 character points after all is said and done, and their most powerful foes are around 1,200 But aside from 1 other NPC hero, they are the most powerful heros on the plant, and in the top 10 in this section of the galaxy. ( Although a few of their Hunted's are more powerful, most of them are either organizations, or extra-dimensional )

A couple other options, depending upon musical tendancies.... A version of Agent X's idea, and an idea for his real name... He could be 'Sid Viscous' *listens to the groans from the crowd* Or if he is less punk and more rock-and-roll, how about just 'Greaser'

And here I thought it was going to look something like this:

I can see it now... The other players would say, "We need a Corona Light! Err, We need a Light, Corona!"

Yup in the one where Luthor assembles the "Injustice Society" crew, he scans a level of the Watchtower for a bomb with his X-ray vision.

From Friday's Champ's game, OOC. A: Retrocognition isn't 100%. V: You're right, it's 20/20.

Or, you could just give Mechanon a base with a Triggered Resurrection with extra time only triggers upon the arrival of his Duplicate head. The actual character writeup can stay the same, just with a ( several ) base(s).

Damnit! You made me snarf hot coffee...

Highway patrol: Mentalist. Pardon me, sir, will you step out of your vehicle? That being said, I sense a great wrongness in the force...

As someone else said, it depends upon how you are meaning 'Stop time'. To take a target out of time, I would use a version of Entangle covering all senses, including the sense of time and BOECV. If you want to step out of time yourself, then my favorite way to do that is to just timetravel to the beginning of the moment until a total of a minute has passed. Time stop: Extradimensional movement 20 Any other time +20 Time travel only -1/2, Only travel to a moment ago -1, Continuous +1, 1 Continuing Charge -1 ( 1 minute ), OAF ( pocketwatch ) -1, Triggered +1/2 ( Push the button ) ( 100 Active, 22 Real ) PLUS Desolid linked -1/2, 1 Continuing charge -1 ( 40 active, 16 real ) Total cost 38 real points. But just like the EDM it is based on, it is definately a {STOP} power. ( But then, so is nearly any time manipulation power ) But this is the only way you get the effect of stepping out of time so you can see bullets in mid-air, falling objects stopped, airplanes stopped dead in flight, etc.

This is for a PC in my campaign. The PC is Über, an unwitting participant in a german bioengineering project to create the Übermensch. He looks like Dolph Lundgren, except bigger, brilliant, tougher, etc. And his DNPC is a kitten named Flaumig. ( german for Fluffy ) It's only been 2 sessions so far, and the cat has already been more of a disadvantage than most other DNPCs so far.

Bob the Builder would _SO_ kick his rear! Here is a few more... Beast vs. Blue ( of Blues Clues fame ) Brainiac vs. Dexter. Teen Titans vs. Power Puff girls. ( $20.00 on the girls ) Beast vs. Beast ( As in Maggie and the Ferocious Beast ) Yellowjacket vs. Winnie the Pooh Iron Man vs. The Iron Giant Plastic Man vs. Sponge Bob Squarepants. ( This would be fairly even actually... ) Black Manta vs. PB&J Otter. Ultron vs. Rollie Pollie Ollie.

Ahh, but how about the point cost of a normal person's stuff? How many points would it be for every flashlight, lightbulb, television and phone in an average house? How about an average commuter car, there is at least another few points. And a bookshelf! It is, after all, just a computer without programs, and with the 'extra time' limitation... And if we're selling back stats, you _know_ reproductive organs are worth some points as a very limited Summon with Extra Time and IAF ( ask a guy raised with a sister ( Unless you don't wear pants, then it is OAF ) )... I need more coffee, this is too silly.

Here's an Idea I was hoping to play, but being always the GM and never the Player, won't get a chance... A Boy and his Dog. Boy is an orphan street kid, trying to make it on his own in a very messed up world. He has strange dreams which tell of a horrible crimes that either will happen, or has happened. Though they are dreamlike and unclear he feels compelled to help those involved. This has made him very empathic, so he can sense the feelings of those around him. His attunement to others also lets him heal their wounds with just a touch. Dog was an experimental subject which went out of control and escaped from the biotech facility. He had been shot several times, drugged, starving, exhausted, and dehydrated. He was lying in a creek in the City, slowly dying. That is where Boy found him. Boys touch healed dog, and calmed and comforted him. Now Boy and Dog are constant companions. When Boy is in danger, Dog grows to 24 meters tall, bristles with fury and rends asunder those trying to hurt his Master. When Dog is enraged, his howl tears at the souls of his foes, and drives them into thralls of terror. Only the safety of Boy, or Boy's command can get Dog to back down when he is enraged.

Wow Wow, all these strangely convoluted power constructions, and no one has commented upon my Continuous EDT-Time version. So, here's another shot. Time stop: Extradimensional travel 20 Any other time +20 Time travel only -1/2 Only to the beginning of user's phase -1 Continuous +1 1 Charge -2 OAF Fragile ( pocketwatch ) -1 ( 80 active, 15 real ) PLUS Desolid linked -1/2 1 Continuing charge -1? ( 40 active, 16 real ) Total cost 31 real points. Maybe add 10 Str, linked, Affects real world if you want to actually change things around while the rest of the world is stuck in your one little second. How you would set it up as a 'defensive' action that you can abort to, I don't know. I'm still fairly new to Hero. Maybe add 'triggered' to go off when you push the button on the watch.

Re: Re: Re: Re: My take on Timestop It's all good. Now given that it is intended for the PC to essentially 'step out of time' for a while, does it work thematically, and rules-wise for the issue at hand? And all for less than 60 real points?

Re: Re: My take on Timestop Why would you need usable as attack? The only one technically traveling though time is the user... The desolid is mostly there so that if they stand still for a turn, they don't timetravel into themselves and get hurt... And as a GM, I wouldn't allow 0 end, otherwise the PC could wander around indefinately with the whole Multiverse stuck in time, until they decide to release it. But 1/2 end, I could see. That's an expensive power.

My take on Timestop This is a bit quirky, and IDHMBIFOM, so I will probably be off on the points and modifiers... Extradimensional travel 20 Other times +20 Time travel only -1/2 Only to the beginning of this phase -1 Constant +1 ( 80 active, 32 real ) PLUS Desolid linked -1/2 ( 40 active, 27 real ) Total cost 59 real points. Special effect being that everything the character isn't interacting with stays still instead of zipping back and forth for 1second of movement.
