  2. Non-standard numbers of charges.

    in Champions

    Re: Non-standard numbers of charges.

     

    If a character brought to me a multipower with 2 identical slots just to get around the charges advantage, he should expect a smack. Not in my games.

     

    Or generally in mine :) But I do know how to abuse, as well as use, the rules. Makes things easier when players try to slip things by me. I've probably already thought of it. ;)

  4. Non-standard numbers of charges.

    Re: Non-standard numbers of charges.

     

    The +1/4 means you can have anywhere between 17 and 32 charges, inclusive.

     

    The +1/2 means you can have anywhere between 33 and 64 charges inclusive (yes, including 40 or 48 charges).

     

    To go all the way to 48 charges and still be +1/4... on one power it can't be done. However, if you have a multipower and have two identical slots in that multipower with 24 charges each (+1/4) my understanding is that you would effectively have the same power with 48 charges. Messy, I know, but here are your options:

     

    6d6 EB, 48 charges (+1/2), 45 active points, 45 real points

     

    or

     

    37 Multipower

    4u 6d6 EB, 24 charges (+1/4), 37 active points

    4u 6d6 EB, 24 charges (+1/4), 37 active points

    45 real points

     

    Of course, it gets much cheaper to add more charges to the second framework, but some GMs would notice this and make you buy the charges advantage on the single power.

    Heheh. I've inflicticted a martial artist called "Disco-dude" on my Ninja Hero players. I won't go into details' date=' but as an example, he has a total psych-lim of "'why walk when you can strut', only makes half moves."[/quote']

     

    And I have Electric Boogaloo, the electrical breakdancing motif martial artist :)

    Re: Worst. Hero. Ever.

     

    I'd nominate the Authority right about the time Mark Millar stated writing them, but then that would be admitting I read those issues :D

     

    What do we mean by 'worst' here anyway? Are we talking character concepts (man with a talking alien boomarang) or ideals (what motivates them and makes them heroic)?

     

    If it's the latter I'd say Tony Stark / Iron Man is a pretty good contender.

     

    Also, I should add a character that I actually like:

    The Hulk when he's the rampaging monster. Bruce Banner is the hero, the Hulk is the villain. To call the Hulk a hero is a bit much when he's on that type of jag.

    Re: Etrigan's Arts

     

    Here's another character of one of my players... Hellspawn!

     

    The original picture use by the players was that of Behemot from Champions The New Millenium. I kept the general look of the character, mixted with a nightcrawler touch and adding mystic tatoos ... and of course, the hellfire sword.

     

    Hellspawn

    This is my absolute favourite so far, and the colouring is spot on. Very nice - gave this jaded websurfer pause and created a "Wow!" moment.

     

    Welll done :D

  13. Splatproofing megascale flight

    in Champions

    Posted

    Re: Splatproofing megascale flight

     

    I've just checked, and it's all in the 5ER (p264). The short of it is this:

     

    1) Buy your megascale movement.

    2) Buy megascale at the same level with a targetting sense (normally sight, but you never know) as a naked advantage, and apply a -1/2 (Only with Megascale movement).

    3) The rules clearly state that a perception roll, with any GM determined modifiers, must be made every phase that you are in megascale movement.

    4) To avoid obstacles, you simply need to succeed with this perception roll.

    5) If you fail this perception roll, you get a second chance to avoid the obstacle by making a DEX roll at the same penalty as the initial perception roll.

     

    So to splat-proof? By perception levels with the appropriate sense and extra levels with DEX rolls only to avoid obstacles at megascale speeds (a -2 limitation if ever I saw one), and link both to megascale movement. Buy it to a relatively high level, say at least so each roll is 17-. Simple.

     

    Note: It's not 100% foolproof, because you could always roll two 18s in a row. But then you probably deserve to splat.

    Re: Splatproofing megascale flight

     

    Megascale sight doesn't work quite like Clairsentience (which is setting a point). The arc of perception is the same as normal sight (or whichever sense you bought megascale for). I reckon it's a GM rule thing that if you bother to buy megascale sight linked to your megascale movement power then it means you don't hit things.

     

    Besides your GM could always rule that when you are moving megascale that anyone wanting to hit you would have to hit your Velocity based DCV, and that the hex you are in would have the same DCV. And that any object you attempt to hit has the same DCV - even hexes. And that with your 0 OCV vs something ridiculous DCV you effectively will never hit each other. Unless you are actually trying. And then you need a 3 (if you play that a 3 is an autohit). After all - the sky is a big place.

     

    So think not of you trying to move through that Jumbo Jet, think of that Jumbo Jet trying to move through you.

     

    BTW - I'm pretty sure that this type of stuff is covered in the Ultimate Speedster. I could be wrong though.

    Re: [CHAR] Cowboy

     

    I like the character OzMike. Reminds me of a PC in my game, Blue Bulleteer who has a pair of pistols that shot spirit bullets. He's a pulp era hero who doesn't get to see much action in the modern day, though some say the Ghost Ranger is the restless spirit of the Blue Bulleteer who comes to the aid of those that require justice when none other hears their cries.

     

    I need to draw those guys I think.

     

    Cheers.

     

    Thanks for the compliment - he is a fun bad guy to run.

     

    And he is a lot like one of my favourite PCs - Snapback.

    Re: The New Circle

     

    Am I thhe only one who sees these characters as code and not in their correct format?

     

    cheers,

     

    The earlier characters in the thread will appear as code because it's a HD export format into html and somewhere along the way they changed the way html posting worked on the boards for security reasons. Ask an 'old timer' like OddHat - there's plenty of character posts that got messed around by it.

     

    csyphrett's stuff (later on in the thread) is ok though - and creative to boot.

  17. Requires a Skill Roll

    in HERO System 6th Edition Rules Questions

    Posted

    Hi Steve, long time listener, first time caller (well, not exactly but... :))

     

    In the FAQ it states (paraphrasing) that if a character has a required skill roll limitatation on a power that they do not get the benefits of the skill when they activate the power, only the benefits power.

     

    My question is this and was in part inspired by the Invisible skills questions you've been fielding recently:

     

    Is the use of the skill/skill roll as a part of the activation 'visible'?

     

    In other words, can people tell that that those DCV levels are being performed using Acrobatics, or that the Invisible Conversation Skill (Telepathy requires a Conversation roll) uses the actual Conversation skill, or that the extra PRE only for positive PRE attacks comes from the successful use of the Oratory skill?

    Very nice. :)

     

    Good art as well.

     

    Thanks. Heromachine2, while limited in poses, can actually produce some nice pics.

     

    And this character also owes a bit of inspiration to Bon Jovi ;)

    Notes: There's no picture attached, because Harelquin can appear as literally anyone. Also Harelquin will always be fulfilling a particular 'role' (e.g. Iron Age Mutant From The Future With A Really Big Gun, A Glowing Eye, Huge Shoulder Pads, And A Bad Attitude) and will appear in the field in that 'role', and the role may or may not have a name attached. Sometimes the only way to tell which one is Harlequin is to spot which person is not a regular member of Mega Force, although Mega Force also sometimes employs outsiders and Harlequin is not always present in a field combat role. Confused yet? Your players will be:D
