Re: Tricks for a Triplicator? The odd thing is, the guy doesn't triplicate until the original gets knocked out first (24 STUN). Duplicate #1 pops out fully while the original Recovers. If he gets knocked out again, out pops Duplicate #2. And unfortunately, the GM has permanent custody of the character sheets so I can't post the stats.

Re: "Not in the face, I'm a pretty man!" OK, in order to test this, I just need you to lower your DCV to 0...how's your insurance, by the way?

Re: Sonics - tired power, need new ideas Sonics as Mind Control, ala a siren's song. And Angar the Screamer from Marvel Comics was able to induCe visual hallucinations with his screams, so images/mental illusions. Summon animals (ultrasonic frequency). Aid (song of inspiration, cat's purring [i always feel better when a cat is purring on me anyways]) Dispel/Suppress radio or communications.

Re: Dredging Obscurity for Villain Ideas Holy [MEEP], I remember that guy...he popped up as the baddie in an issue of Marvel Team-Up I once had (Spidey and Quasar).

Re: WSWYCK: Karaoke Night Iceberg: Being a Golden Age character, karaoke would probably be over his head initially. He'd probably be true to his patriotic roots and just sing the Canadian National Anthem. Osprey: Well, she has a slight problem. In her Hero ID, she can't talk, let alone sing. She can only really...squawk. And let's just say Sonic Scream + microphone = BAD IDEA! Prospero: "I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)" by the Proclaimers. He won't tell you why though. Cascade/Ningyo: Just how well-stocked is the karaoke bar? She's very shy, but if the songbooks actually carried any Japanese numbers, she'd be more at ease (and hoping no one notices if she flubs the words). She'd probably do "Ultra Relax", the theme to Kodoma no Omocha (which I actually have a karaoke version of saved on my computer) The Midnight Angel: Looking for redemption, he'd do "Amazing Grace". Of course, if his human host Thomas Blackchurch is out instead and has any say, Thom would be doing stuff like "Closer" by NiN, Orgy's cover of "Blue Monday" or "Papercut" by Linkin Park. Ingenue: "History Repeating" by Shirley Bassey or "The Rose" by Bette Milder. Hell, the world doesn't even have to be threatened to get her on any sort of stage!

Re: Ninjas in a Champions game

Re: "Not in the face, I'm a pretty man!" Standard punch to the face, really. Black eye, broken nose, bloody lip, swollen cheek...that sort of thing. Not looking for a (permanent) transform, just something that will take time to heal the aesthetics back up. As the saying goes "That's gonna leave a mark..."

Re: Dredging Obscurity for Villain Ideas To be fair, he at least had a semi-redemptive death if memory serves me correctly.

So, I'm trying to design a COM drain that takes a while to recover from. Basically, it's for a potential villain who HATES "pretty people" and the drain will basically be linked to a punch to the face (and still does damage with the punch on top of the drain). What would be a plausible way to design it, especially if hit locations aren't used?

Re: Need Perjoratives! I'd get me my superlawyer down on the case stat for a character defamation suit!

Right, let me preface this by stating that due to the fact that we're "new to the group", the GM will be designing the actual character (complete with stats, powers, skills & talents) as opposed to my husband being the one making it. We're figuring the GM wants to know us as players first before we get to make our own characters (even though we've both played Champions before)... The Beloved Hubby is cool with this as he's an easy-going sort of fellow. He'll be playing a martial artist sort (Dirty Infighting) who can triplicate himself. While he's come up with a couple of combat ideas (two of his selves attempt a double grapple while the third goes for a low blow as an example), what he's looking for are other possible tricks to use (ideally against Bricks, but he's open to suggestions) in combat. I know things are a bit hamstrung without having an actual character sheet to look at. Hopefully, that will change by this weekend.

Re: Help with a Mystic hero Character-wise, why would a Shaman type need to know these skills? 3 Bribery 14- 3 Bugging 13- 3 Bureaucratics 14- I might suggest taking some magic/appropriate mythology knowledge skills What's the background for this guy? It might help us figure out what needs to be added/changed/taken out...

Re: Seductive combatant powers? Flash attack complete with stripping and flexing?

Re: Campaign Concept: Political Cape-rs What sort of diplomatic immunity (if any) would such a team have if they're "assigned" to work in foreign lands? And what sort of benefits/contingencies are made for THEIR loved ones and families should anything happen?

Re: How to handle: the super-information broker? I'd expect KS:(various), Criminology, Computer Sciences, Forensics, and/or their own various contacts to be up the wazoo for starters for such NPCs. And such NPCs probably do a good job of protecting their anoniminty as much as possible. Their help shouldn't come cheap and easy if you don't want the PCs to use them as a crutch. Not to mention, the info they pass may not be correct (even sources have a bad day) all the time. And if the PCs overuse them, they could resent such constant intrusions and endangerment.

Re: Weird request Of course, depending on when you want your Fonzie around, you could give him a a bit of a bad Reputation to represent his infamous Shark Jumping incident...

Re: COPS, CREWS, AND CABALS -- What Do *You* Want To See? I'd add a law firm of some sort too. I always wanted to see some red-tape action with some sue-happy lawyers working against mutant/metahuman prejudice in the comics...

Re: What Are You Listening To Right Now? "Blood Makes Noise" -- Suzanne Vega

Re: Suggestions for a player's Song character? Either a Flash or Darkness attack (ie, you get so caught up in the song you don't "see" what's around you)? Endurance Aid (Song as Inspiration/Morale Booster)?

Re: Rules to ignore, or replace I'm going to be encouraging my GM to use the old 4th Ed. rules of Instant Change rather than this weird Transform they've got now.

Re: CHAR: Emerald I still need to finish up the first Valkyrie Profile game. I keep getting distracted by all the Pokemon voice actors in it.

Re: "Slow Poke" There's also the old fashioned approach of using Entangles (tar, glue, quagmires, molasses etc.).

Re: Your Local Generation VIPER Every school has one...Mr./Ms. Popular. The Ferris Bueller type. The one student who EVERYONE likes, no matter what social group they're a part off. The one who can convince the jocks to stop picking on the geeks and be listened to. The one who the socially clueless can commiserate to and feel like someone actually cares and listens. Not a "pure" mentalist, this student rather has high levels of Presence that can be used on various social skills (like conversation, information gathering, high society, seduction and persuasion) in order to ferret out secrets. Of course, he/she also has high levels of Mental Defense just in case. And the catch? This student ISN'T in the Viper school. He/she's at your heroes' school instead as a mole and recruiter.

Re: Looking For Equivalent CU Group For A Hunted There's always Raven as well (are they in 5th Edition? I just finished reading 4th Ed. "Eye for an Eye").

Re: (Character) The American Samurai Echoing everyone else, skills-wise you're lacking. So you can survive. What else? You've got no Acrobatics or Breakfall, two skills that practically every martial artist/H-t-H combatant should have. What about Tracking? Or Shadowing? Find Weakness even? It's just not a very well-rounded character. And as a member of the Brotherhood of Evil GMs, I'd nuke you with a mentalist. All that twink armor will be for naught since you have a very average ECV. And why are UNTIL and PRIMUS only watching you? You've admitted to having a "violent track record". I'd want your vigilante butt arrested, not watched! No rival looking to best you in the way of the sword? No villain looking to avenge himself upon you for beating him?
