Re: Classic Comic Book Characters Yeah I agree with ya. I started playing Champions during 2E (250 pt campaigns) and stop playing for a while. When I finally came back around and found another group 5E was out and everyone started at 350 pts instead. I didn't know what to do with the extra points. I almost invested all the points into skills/talents/perks.

Re: champions mistaken identity LoL. Is it APB (All Points Bulletin)? At work on zero hours of sleep in the last 44 hours.

Re: champions mistaken identity Not quite mistaken identity but my toon's name is Shado. He is Japanese, wears all black (like avatar originally) and shoots a bow/arrow so everyone assumes he knows martial arts. "I am NOT a ninja!!!" So I've remade his costume to reflect his gadgetter abilities with a techno body suit. We also fought a villain whose name was Shadow who got away and the police put out a APV on me. That sucked.

Re: The Holy Hand Grenade Very nice indeed sir. I like the defense on said Holy Hand Grenade. Since I'm this train of thought, stats on the Man Eating Death with Big Pointy Teeth Killer Rabbit. I would think minus Presence since he is so cute and furry. Superleap + Shrinking obviously. HKA maybe 5d6 vs. Humans only, Continuous, Penetrating. Linked to Mind Control to induce Fear Only (Run Away!, Run Away!).

I was just wondering what you guys thought the Holy Hand Grenade stats from Monty Pythons Holy Grail would be? I thought of this during one of our recent adventures. I had a teammate (Flux) that used a multi-form to transform into a immobile, bulky, 200d6 bomb that he had to resort to. He was attempting to bluff and make a trade for the rest of the team that was captured in the villain base. The light based, killing attack, teleporter didn't bite and tried to snatch the bomb to teleport to the surface before the timer ran out. He didn't know Flux had a held action and had no choice but to blow up. Luckily for him he is Nano based and was able to latch onto a nearby electronic device (randomly our power suit hero, White Knight) to survive. We spent the rest of the adventure trying to find Flux since he had no way of communicating with us. I'm guessing the two villains standing right next to the bomb will not be making another appearance in our campaign. Shado-Trick Arrow Archer/Gadgeteer

Re: Custom Figures Images Where did u get the images to print out for the buildings and other props? Nice work on the figures.

Re: Is it permissible to use real company names? I have always played in made up cities or made worlds until last year I joined a campaign that was set in local area and time. It has made such a big difference in knowing exactly where stuff is and how point A to point B. Using local businesses and people has been a trip so have fun with it.

Re: City of Heroes - Online Hero Game I really thought Pizz N Vinegar would have been fine based on the meaning of the said phrase. Straight from http://www.usingenglish.com/reference/idioms/full+of+piss+and+vinegar.html Idiom Definition for 'Full of piss and vinegar' Meaning: Someone who's full of piss and vinegar is full of youthful energy.

Re: City of Heroes - Online Hero Game Yeah, I'm always surprised when someone actually "reports" on someone about a name or costume. I had a toon named Pizz N Vinegar and I teamed up with a friend of mine named Suga N Spice. We got a lot of compliments on the duo. The name actually got nerfed! I supplied three alternative names and they let me have Blackballed. Are your serious!?! I'm sure that one will get nerfed at some point now too. If so, I'll know it was one of you....

Re: Does Not Work in Water I have a bow character that originally had the disadvantage of not in water for -1/4. The GM informed me that lots of adventures would take place near or on the Mississippi River and said if I was just on the surface of water the bow would not function. Yikes!!! Skip that one and I went with Requires Both Hands instead -1/4.

Re: Potential HC Campaign: SideKicks My first impression is 350 points is a ton of points for a sidekick campaign. I would think 150 to start off with that way you could limit the number of powers/skills. Maybe a little faster with the XP so in no time they will be 250/350 points but they know what it was like "starting out". I was in a 250 campaign and we run into a demon from another dimension that we were supposed to run from like any normal person would do. We were all smashed to pieces and comatosed for 3 months so we ended up running our newly made 150 point sidekicks. That was a lot of fun and it was almost sad to go back to our normal toons.

Re: Superhero Images I actually used City of Heroes as my hero designer pic of Shado Maxx. Bowman and futuristic gadgets. Cross between Green Arrow/Booster Gold.

Re: [Character] Shadow-Bow I think I will add some martial arts and a collapsible bo staff with hth and missile deflection. I really like your Zen Archery Martial Skills. Where did you get those skills from? The suction arrows are cool too. I thought my guy with 88 arrows was a lot but it looks like you carry 120. Kinda like Cable from the X-men but with arrows instead of guns. Its amazing how similar our characteristics and skills are based on a common hero.

I would like some feedback on my character for a new campaign I'm in. He is kind of like a dark Green Arrow with more spy skills (007) and less high society than Oliver Queen. Do you think I should add martial arts in the future with such a low strength or more trick arrows? Thanks, TeamMaxx
