    Claire should have another Limitation on her Regeneration. "Only when everything is in the right place". She didn't heal the broken rib after her fall until after she pushed it into place. After she woke up during the autopsy, her chest didn't heal until she pushed it back down. I'd say a -1/2 Lim.

    Yeah' date=' but it wasn't listed as a "Watched"; her father's was. A full point Hunted should be for an enemy trying to do you harm. Even her father is doing her harm, while at the same time trying to protect her. All the "Save the cheerleader" folks are just trying to [i']find[/i] her, not uncover her secrets, and they get full points?

     

    Agreed. It should be at Watched Lvl. I would say that they are trying to uncover her secrets, as far as they are all trying to find out what the heck is going on. You do have a point, though.

    For example' date=' based on the scene where Peter flies away from Horn-Rimmed Glasses and Mr. Erase-Your-Mind he has a lot of Flight and a Combat Acceleration Adder (right?)[/quote']

     

    Right!

     

    That was a great scene. Actually, thinking of the end of that flight and a few other things...Hiro needs at least 2-3 dice of Luck. He's always in the right place at the right time (Maybe bought in his Time power MP or EC). He saw the bomb go off and the date...was the only one to see Nathan land...happens upon the comic book that shows his future...

    And you can't get Hunted points for people who are hunting you to help save you' date=' that's just silly[/quote']

     

    When you have a Watched it doesn't have to be because of nefarious reasons. I see no reason why you can't get points for people monitoring you without your knowledge, no matter what their motive is. You don't dispute that her Father's Hunted is valid. He wants to save her,too. He just uses more insideous methods.

  11. A Blast From The Past - old 4th ed pregens

    Re: A Blast From The Past - old 4th ed pregens

     

    I'd keep this character ready for either player (experienced or not). I have run many Champions games at several Cons. Inevitablely, there is someone who shows up who loves champions and has played it longer than I have (Over 13 years).

     

    Depending whether you have veterans or novices at your table, I'd decide the power changes myself. Just have a lot of cool changes ready. They will probably change often through what they don't like or want at the time.

     

    The character is cool. I see myself using it in my next Con game.

    Re: Claremont is ee cummings

     

    Thank you' date=' Grimble! I'm glad I'm not the only one -- I was beginning to mistrust my memories! I didn't want to have to dig up my old X-Men from that era. 22 pages of that and my head would go all asplodey![/quote']

     

    I do have a love/hate relationship with Claremont. He did have some great storylines during his stay with the X-men, but, yes he was really "dramatic" with his dialog and very "Soap Operaesque" in his plots.

    With no control over the change of powers, I see Facet as a sort of "Dial H for Hero" type character. Very nice. I was always a big fan of that comic in all it's incarnations. You have done a very good job on all your characters, but Facet is my favorite, so far.

     

    Thanks for sharing. I plan on using a few of your write ups in my game. :thumbup:

    Jack "Crash" Parker: Would say "That's a great idea!". Decline and leave. He would then use his vast wealth to produce his own wholesome and action-packed saturday morning cartoon. Hire the right people to get it on the air and keep full script aproval rights.

     

    While he's at it he might as well start a line of tee shirts and lunch boxes. Don't forget the breakfast cereal!

  24. QuestionL Would you consider this unfair or rail roading?

    Re: QuestionL Would you consider this unfair or rail roading?

     

    Bad situation? Yes. Railroading? No. I agree that this is a tried and true comic book trope. It will be interesting to see how your PCs solve the problem. If they are anything like my players, they will come up with something you didn't even think of (for better or worse).

     

    As long as there is a chance of stopping the buffed villian after the ritual, it should play out all right.
