    Enforcer, don't listen to anyone, you make the characters you want. If the character calls for 5,000 points, then that is the character that gets written up.

     

    TB

    Applause, applause!!!:celebrate

     

    And be sure to post the 5000 point character ASAP.

    Would Zeus from the Gods Package Deal thread be in that point range? I hope so.:thumbup:

     

    Blow our minds! Again...and again...and again...and again...and again...:D:D

    Well' date=' when you get to the true "cosmic" level super types, they not only have a lot of raw power, they're also able to do a lot of different things. Given that, and the power level of several published CU characters in that weight class, I don't think the point totals are inappropriate or unreasonable. I recently finished an "upgrade" to Valak the World-Ravager, from [i']Champions Universe: News Of The World[/i], that came to 1320 points, to allow for that variety of capabilities.

    I am not complaining.;) Just observing, that everything is so much more point-expensive than anything I design. Poor me!:confused:

    As much as I love your write-ups, I am always amazed by the costs.

    I know Terrax was a herald of Galactus and that he is a powerful being, but 1358 points? That is ...wow. :eek:

    My own write-ups of Marvel characters were a lot cheaper. Let's see if I can remember: Ithink Beta Ray Thor was around 850 and even Black Bolt just above 1000. Somehow it's gotta be some kind of power level problem.:)

    The Emil Blonsky Secret ID.. I'm a bit fuzzy on?

     

    He permanently weighs half a ton, and looks like a gigantic gill man; does he use make-up and dark glasses to fool his co-workers? ;)

     

    You're so right. How could I overlook that.

     

    But the glasses worked for Superman. Maybe Emil Blonsky is smart enough to try it on his own ID.

    Re: The Abomination (Marvel)

     

    One of my favorite marvel villains and quite a match for every powerhouse in the universe, but often written very badly in the comic books. So much potential...

     

    Great write-up: rep as soon as I can:thumbup:

  10. There's always one

    Re: There's always one

     

    I'll give some more details as I didn't before.

     

    This is a relatively low power campaign setting with 275 total character points. The character could be taken out with a good hit as his defenses are not very high. The problem comes with the character having no ranged attacks and is not really going to be played as a defensive character from what I've seen from his sheet. He has a pretty hefty HtH attack damage in regards to the campaign settings where most attacks are 8d6 with 10d6 being a powerful attack. His base HtH attack is 12d6 and with most characters averaging 2-3 DCV lower than this character's base OCV it's almost an automatic hit every time with average rolls. My concern comes where I try and make opponents to specifically have a chance against this one character, making it unfair to the other PCs.

     

     

     

    I'll post the character when I get a chance.

     

    Props to Derek for great GMing and fantastic handling of the situation.

     

    I would probably take the situation from another angle. The character sure does have some disadvantages. I'd approach him from that side. Attack his vulnerabilities, make sure his susceptibilities come into play, have the villains hijack his DNPCs and then blackmail him.

    If he cannot join a fight, cause the villains threaten to kill his fiance (or the like), his comrades will be quite surprised (not knowing any of it, of course). That should bring balance back into the game.

     

    Let the other players save him or his DNPC and they will not feel so outclassed anymore.:celebrate

    I swear' date=' she started out at 350 pts...its just ...I can't...:([/quote']

     

    I really, really wish you could. 700 points? That's ...awe inspiring, to say the least. Why couldn't you stay with the thug limitation and squeeze her into say 400 points?

     

    Hmm...yes, I see. It's just the way you are!:)

     

    BTW I like her nonetheless

    Wow, yoz're not only doing great jobs at creating powerhouses and megavillains. You do those old-fashioned thugs just as well. This is a kind of character, that I would create quite a few of along with my mastermind.

     

    Good work and ... well, thanks, I think;)

    Re: The Fatherless Five

     

    Each character concept is quite intriguing. But as Killer Shrike pointed out, it is almost impossible too imagine, why five such individuals would join forces.:king:

     

    OddHat, you've got a lot of things to explain. Although with your capabilities I'm sure you will stand the test.:nonp:

    Looks good overall' date=' I would probably give most of her godly stats and powers a -1/4 restrainable other than grabs lim (The Gods required constant renewal of there abilities from eating of the Golden Apples IIRC)[/quote']

     

    They did. But you never know, if they do in Enforcer's world.;)

     

    BTW it gives a whole new meaning to the old saying: An apple a day...

  21. Who are the top 5 most powerful characters in your Campaign.

    Re: Who are the top 5 most powerful characters in your Campaign.

     

    My campaign is four color standard comic book with some empasis on supernatural/mythological plots. We have seen the return of many legendary characters, gods, demons and the like. But still most of them have not appeared in the game sessions. Here are my Top 5 (as known by the players)

     

    1. Tyrannon : The bad-ass dimensional conqueror with 888 manifestations.

     

    2. Dr Destroyer : The megalomaniac, most evil person on Earth.

     

    3. The Revered Elder : Earth's arch-mage. His powers are diminishing due to his age. But still very powerful.

     

    4. Dagon : God of the Philistines. Commands a whole bunch of supernatural henchmen. His fortress lies in another dimension. Bend on world conquering. Diabolic Entity!

     

    5. Baal : God of the Sumerians. Commands lots of supernatural beings. He resides on Earth. Arch-enemy of Dagon. Has defeated more than one team of superheroes. Still undecided what to do on modern Earth. Evil!

     

    Note: Due to houserules, villains need not have bases, vehicles, favors or followers in their write-ups. That would limit GMing, because everything had to be fleshed out in advance. Still Dagon and Baal range above 1000 points. Most powerful hero on Earth at this moment is 750 point Captain Alpha.

    Re: Name Help: Daemonic Hero

     

    How about some German suggestions?

     

    Der Besessene (The Possessed) : doesn't really fit the description

     

    Abgrund (Abyss) : sounds diabolical enough

     

    Zwei Seelen (Two Souls) : considered the demon counts as a soul

    1419 points, that's a hefty girl! But I like her. :)

     

    I'm not sure about the name though. How did you come up with that? Is that from Norse Legends? TH is very uncharacteristic spelling in Scandinavian. How do you pronounce her name?:confused:
