Re: Telekinesis Super. Tanner, what I'm getting at is that you (with a little bit of experience having been in a few fights) probably have a +1 with "punch" and a higher DEX and ST compared to your g/f. In real life (obviously, we're trying to translate this into game terms) the difference between you and a Black Belt (from a reputable school) would be great (unless you're a tremendous athlete or a lot more experienced in fighting that you've suggested). All the advantages gained from buying Martial Arts maneuvers assume extensive training and experience. Probably a better way to simulate the difference between yourself and your g/f in fighting terms would be to "buy" her the Psyc. Lim. "Completely unfamiliar with physical combat" or something such. The above discussion really is a summary of long discussions that we had in one of my old gaming groups from early in my Martial Arts career (that included several black belts who were also experienced gamers). Of course, this discussion of interpretation of Martial Arts in a game is better suited to a HERO level game than a SUPERHERO level one. Troy

Re: Disturbing Character premises... When I first started playing Champions back in college, we had some real screwballs making characters - some highlights "Wombat Man" - multiform (human/wombat) that in wombat form was 3' tall, had claws (HKAs), and tunnelling - "Its Wombat Combat Time!" "Blue Beetle" (is this one a rip off from somewhere?) - a paranoid delusional telekinetic who never left his blue volkswagon beetle (the car bought more or less as armor) "Celophane Man" - transparent elastic guy with a susceptibility to fire (since celophane is cellulose and flammable) "Turbo Snail" - high speed movethrough machine "The Brick" - high strength, high speed brick (literally) that read "acme" - movethrough machine again Obviously, the last two "characters" we deliberately made under the premise of "how to abuse the rulesbook" for the sake of a laugh.
