Ok, I am building a PA character for a game, however I am getting conflicting ways on how to build him. I thought that you bought all the powers seperate with the OIF disadvantage (I am not talking about weapons just things like the armor, flight, str enhancement etc..). One of the other player in my group who has played for a while said I should buy all of those items in an EC. Now frm my understanding this would not be good because If I were knocked unconscious all those powers would shut down unless I also bought them as persistant, plus it seems that I would burn a lot of END if I bought them that way as well. DO any of you haven any suggestions on this? Thanks

Ok, I am trying to get a handle on the whole hero system creation mechanic. I played a long time ago when I was younger (1st edition) and have just recently started playing Hero again. I have been trying to go through and create powers based on effects that I could think of from comics. However I have stumped myself (which isn't hard trust me) on how to replicate the Absorbing Mans powers. His ability allowed him to absorb an enemies attack or defense and use it against them. Like the Huilk's strength or the Human Torch's fire attack. This is similar but not quite like Rogue's powers. I know it would be based on the absorption power but how would you turn that in to a varied special effect attack? I know there is an adder for that in the book. Would you have to use a VPP or is there another way to replicate it? I am asking here because I think all of the guys I have been playing with are tired of answering my never ending series of questions. But hey as a bonus I am almost totally converted from that 3rd whatever thing......

Does taking bets on how many phases it takes for the mentalist to get KO'ed count as a vibe?? If not then the closest thing I can think of for our team would be mercenaries, except we don't get paid.... Wait there is something wrong with that statement....

In the group we are in now there is a Rock Musician, kind of small scale but there are times he has problems getting out but he has a Pub ID so it helps.. A University professor... Until his building went boom.. A CEO... I know they have tons of time right! A Govt. Sponsored hero so he don't really work... Others I have seen or thought of though would be Morgue Assistant-Get the lowdown on some crimes plus you work weird hours anyway. Grad Student... those guys never go to class anyway. Construction Worker... You don't feel like working?? Mortician... I like dead things.... Truck Dirver... Mobile base on wheels. Freelance Designer/Artist/Writer/Photographer... Gives you a reason why you aren;t a 9 to 5 er and allows you mobility... Farmer... uhhhh... yeah! Beer Delivery Guy... Just think of the plot hooks with that one! Model... You have some strange hours but there is a lot of demand on your time... Radio DJ... hey you work 4 hours a day... Who knows there are tons of possibilities. Our group has a tendency to follow the same tendencies.... I finally kind of switche d this time and played a Brick that looks like a heroine addict 5ft 10 in weighs 130Lb.. Very deceptive.....

Has anyone messed with a Macross (robotech) Idea? I know the valkyries may be out of it but if you go to the Southenr Cross arc ( I know Harmony gold yadda yadda but it was still pretty decent) you could make the Cyclones pretty cool. Does anyone have any ideas they could share?

When building a power armor character do you also get the Only in Hero ID deduction as well as the OAF? Sorry if this is in the wrong forum.
