Re: League of Extraordinary Gentlemen for 2008 It also occurs to me that John Constantine would make an awesome member. I wouldn't want him in the lineup if Giles was on it too, though. If Giles is gone, Spike might make a good add on too.

Re: Bolt, the super dog Social Limitation: Pet

Who would be in the 2008 lineup of the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen? It is my opinion that the League's members would have to be British and possess skills usable in an espionage setting mixed with Urban Fantasy. Also, restricting the characters to Brits restricts the choices since otherwise the options are infinite. My choices so far: James Bond Betsy Braddock Rupert Giles Duncan Macleod Tara Chace

Re: Order of the Stick The reason Belkar fights two-handed is so he can kill Chuck Norris and Jack Bauer in one action.

Re: Order of the Stick I didn't know that spell needed a passcode. I thought you just cast it and *poof* problem solved.

Re: Order of the Stick

Re: Order of the Stick As I recall, you can't sneak attack a Rogue equal or better than you in level. And holy cow! That's Haley's Dad in the flashback- I'm sure of it.

Re: NCIS Main Cast Your stats seem low to me. He's an older fella, but he's pretty fit for his age. My take on it is this: Leroy Jethro Gibbs Val Char Cost Roll Notes 13 STR 3 12- Lift 150.0kg; 2-1/2d6 14 DEX 12 11- OCV: 5/DCV: 5 11 CON 2 11- 12 BODY 4 11- 13 INT 0 12- PER Roll 12-/15- 18 EGO 16 13- ECV: 6 25 PRE 15 14- PRE Attack: 5d6 14 COM 2 12- 4 PD 1 Total: 2 PD (0 rPD) 4 ED 2 Total: 2 ED (0 rED) 3 SPD 6 Phases: 4, 8, 12 5 REC 0 22 END 0 25 STUN 0 The Age Disad lets him buy his PRE up to 25 without doubling.

Re: Needed: A witty quote I gave Shadowsoul a shot of rep for you to keep him going until you can get to him, but's nowhere near the dose you can give out.

Re: Started a new campaign My guideline is as follows: 1XP per session (so a three session adventure is 3XP) 1 XP for accomplishing the overall objective 1 XP for noteworthy roleplaying 1 XP for misc bonuses I award XP at the end of the adventure, not each session. If I set it up so that a character gets the training I want him to have in game, I "award" the points and it doesn't come out of their XP (ie, if I send him on a parachuting course or make him spend a week getting a language fam). At this rate, a game that runs every two weeks, with three sessions per adventure will see 34-50 XP over the course of a year.

Re: Help with power for Hellfire One of the PCS in my Champions game is coincidentally named Hellfire- she has a fire demon trapped inside her. She was originally a mutant who was invulnerable to flame. She discovered this at a young age and became a doctor specialising in metahuman genetics so she could find out what made her powers tick. Then she was abducted by a cult who knocked her out and tried to summon a fire demon that manifested itself by using the host as combustible material during its stay on this plane. Only she couldn't burn... The demon was trapped inside her, but she was perpetually on fire, until the PC team developed a suit that let her switch her fire powers off. Overall, a very cool character. Feel free to borrow ideas from this backstory.

Re: Which is better for a beginner: Champions or Dark Champions? Define beginner? New to gaming? New to HERO System? If you're a new gamer, Champions is more forgiving. Dark Champions can be an unforgiving genre given the lethality that often surrounds it. On the other hand, a game that doesn't have powers is easier to work with. Building the powers and getting a sense of game balance is an art to itself. In a Heroic game (as opposed to a superheroic one), it's easier to define a characters capability.

Re: A Geeky Green Lantern? How about a Green Lantern fanboy who becomes a Green Lantern? I suppose supers are like celebrities, so they would have groupies. It would be amusing to see one get those very same powers and how they react to it. Well, it would be amusing for one issue...

Re: supper skills "Just like Mom Used to Make..." Minor Transform: Ingredients into Hot Meal. 3d6. Extra Time (20 min) -2, gestures (requires both hands), OIF (stove) -1/2 8 pts.

Re: Poor Taste? Thread Necromancy is strangely appropriate for this one...

Re: NAZI Villians Dark Champions: Predators has the Victory Brigade, who are neo-Nazis. They are headed by Dr Spregen, who has used genetic technology to prolong his life span (he appears to be in his 50s when he should be in his 90s).

Re: 1970s-era Police Campaign If you're looking for 70s Cop TV, you gotta include the Hawaii 5-0! It ran from 68 to 80, so all the 70's decade is covered (though the look in this intor is more on the 60s side).

Re: 1970s-era Police Camaro It looks like an 83 or 84 Camaro to me. In the 70s, the headlights were round. Around 82 or so, they changed the look to have the embedded rectangular look. Remember the MASK team's flying Camaro? 'Twas an '84 as I recall. As for the CHiPs look... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BSzEmPEnYxo

Re: Halloween Themed Session...ideas? Jail of the Living Dead... The heroes are visiting Stronghold (to interogate a villain perhaps) when one of the prisoners, infected by a zombie mutagen, takes a chunk out of one of the prison guards. Hilarity ensues as the metahuman prisoners start chomping one another and transform into zombies that keep their powers.

Re: Is there place online that I can find pictures for NPC's? Susano has an awesome archive on his webpage. Make sure you rep him when you've gone through it. http://surbrook.devermore.net/superpics/possiblesuper.html

Re: New Character Idea... Build the arm as the primary character with mind control that only works on the host then build the current host as a follower.

Re: Transform: Class of mind Adding an additional class of Mind is effectively adding a Physical Limitation to the character. Is it enough of one to justify the requirement that it be a Major Transform? I guess that is the GM's call...
