  1. Re: CHAMPIONS VILLAINS Sneak Peek #1: The Triptych Cover! That cover looks fantastic. I'm really getting excited to get a new Champions game underway. Also, not really related to the cover, but since people seem to be answering questions... Are the Villians books going to touch on the "organizational" villians (ARGENT/DEMON/VIPER) at all?
  2. I hadn't taken Ayden to be a chump, I just never thought the magic system itself was quite so cool. I like the idea now that I read it better.
  3. I hadn't taken the time to read that magic system until now. It's a lot cooler than I had given it credit for. Very interesting actually.
  4. With 3 points of STR, it does become a 2 point talent, but never a 3 point talent, even with 0 END applied. 3 points of STR = 3 pts. 0 END (+1/2) means 3 x 1.5 = 4.5 (4 Active Points) As long as the disads fall in the -3/4 to -1 1/2 range, the real cost becomes 2. The -1 1/2 you have works. Since this is being bought as a talent, it never gets the doubling associated with exceeding NCM. That would be like doubling the base cost of the DEX associated with lightning reflexes if someone exceeded 20 DEX.
  5. A 3 point talent?!? Why? How would you possibly construct this to equal 3 points? And why would you want to? For 2 points, I could just buy the two points of STR. Even if I had cleared NCM, I would rather spend 4 points on the STR than the 3 point talent. It really is only worth 1 point. Why make it cost more for a 1 point ability that isn't really that good to begin with?
  6. I would add 0 END to the 2 points of STR. No reason to be spending an extra point of END each time the character picks up the weapon.
  7. I hadn't considered the doubling cap. That is a worthwhile thought. Between that and the point KS made about disarm, I'm betting they are fine.
  8. If i use adjustment powers vs. things with unusual characteristic costs, what happens? For instance, a vehicle's BODY costs 1 point, instead of 2 points for a normal character. If I have a Repair power, bought as BODY healing for vehicles, does it does it restore BODY at a rate of 1 BODY per one point of effect, or 1 BODY per two points of effect?
  9. Just use the Costs END Only To Activate (+1/4) usually used for things like DI and Growth.
  10. Well, I just got my copy today, and hadn't seen the book in person up until now. Sweet mother of crap! This thing really is huge. It's going to take a long time to digest it all, but I'm sure it will be fun. I've been looking forward to this, and I'm sure I will not be disappointed.
  11. Lockout is already a -1/2 limitation, and just says you can't use anything else in the MP. Maybe x2 Active Points for -1/4, but I can't see anything beyond that because the lockout would be more limiting at -1/2 than any other iteration of your limitation, while doing basically the same thing.
  12. That's basically what I would do. Make the primary character the Powersuit, as an Automaton, and buy the driver as a 100% different Duplicate or a follower. If you go the Duplication route, you can either use Cannot Recombine, or define recombining as getting in the suit.
  13. Just to the people who seem to have problems with an EC on a battlesuit, and suggest that they haven't used it in any official 5th Ed Champions stuff yet, check out page 118 of Champions Universe. Stalwart doesn't have an EC, but it is listed as what to give his armor to make him more powerful. That suggests to me that the designers don't have an intrinsic problem with the idea.
  14. What type of character are you looking for exactly? What year does the game take place in? What genre is it? I have a few ideas, but I'm not sure what you are looking for. The only concrete thing I'm thinking is that he wouldn't be a mutant, just because the idea of a racist mutant villian seems silly after years of X-Men comics talking about mutant persecution. Some sort of tech based guy might be cool though, or a mystic. I could see a gadgeteer building robots that look like robed klansmen, or even a powersuit that looks like a klansman. Alternately, a mystic with a multiform to turn into the 'Grand Dragon.' (Or is it the High Dragon? I know one of the high up KKK ranks is some sort of dragon...)
  15. That's exactly what I would do.
  16. Yeah, I understand that. Like I said, he was originally meant to be more of a gadgeteer, but it didn't seem to work out that way. I sort of based his personality off of two people I know, and both of them are named Al, so it sort of made sense. If he sees play, I sort of see him becoming a supplier of super-tech for the heroes of the city, or helping make better equipment for Millenium City's MARS units or the like. It's still not exactly a gadgeteer role, but it does fit the name.
  17. Here's a character who was originally intended as a gadgeteer, but I guess I really wanted a power suit guy. At any rate, I think he makes a pretty good science/tech guy for a team. I think he's neat, but I would love some comments.

A streamlined back pack holds the Grav Jets and the air supply for the rebreather.The entire armor is bright blue, with gold highlights in the joints and other moving parts. Personality: Allen has always told outrageous stories whenever he has the attention of a others. Now that he considers himself a superhero, this is only likely to get worse. He likes to see how his armor performs against other technology based characters, and has been satisfied so far. He considers Wayland Talos a coward for not field testing his device himself, and has begun badmouthing him in public at any chance he gets. Allen knows technology, and excepts the powers of mutants as being based in science, but he fears and distrusts magic, though he is not likely to admit it.Allen would like to join a team of superheroes, if only because it gives him someone to brag to, as well as giving him a group to take on bigger and more powerful threats with. Quote:"Once again, my superior weapons have triumphed over the pathetic technology used by the villains of Millenium City." Background: Allen Biggs has been known his whole life as a mechanical and technical genius. After completing a degree in engineering, he took a job working in Drake-Victoria Inc's research facility in Millenium City. He was immediately assigned to an experimental energy weapon project. He absorbed information on the project very quickly, though it was canceled before any significant progress was made. He was reasigned to one of the contractor's numerous force field projects, which he found much less interesting.His lucky break came when he found several parts of a battered and broken robot. He quickly tossed them into the bed of his pickup and took off, figuring he could examine them at home, later. He was stunned by the amazing variety of energy effects that the weapons system of this robot could produce. He started dismantling them and learning exactly how they worked. He started using the his skills to build a suit of powered armor, figuring that with his mind, he could make a power suit far superior to the armor used by Ankylosaur, Armadillo, or Defender. He started using almost all his money to build his suit, moving into a small appartment in North Detroit to save on rent. What was at first a hobby soon became an obsession, causing his performance at work to suffer greatly. He recently lost his position at DVI due to poor attendence and poor quality of work, thanks to his distractions. The last few weeks have been spent living on credit cards, but Allen isn't worried. He finally completed his armor, and has started taking on the villians of Millenium City as Allen Wrench. Powers/Tactics: Allen doesn't realize it, but much of his ease in learning and understanding technology comes from his latent cyberkinesis. He has no idea that he is a mutant, but instead believes himself to just be very smart. Eventually, it is likely that his latent cyberkinesis will manifest as some sort of power, but that may take a while. For now, all that happens is he subconsiously sets off virtually every detection device he comes in contact with. Every time he walks through a metal detector, shop-lifting detectors in stores, or anything similar, they go off.In combat, Allen targets powered armor characters or other tech based villains first, hopefully using his Analyze: Technology skill to learn useful information about them. His energy gauntlets allow him to attack in a large variety of ways, and his "The Right Tool For The Job" VPP allows him greater flexibility if he know what to expect before a mission. Campaign Use: Allen is hunted by the IHA, but not because of his status as a mutant. After seeing the powers exhibited by this costume on the news, they are sure that he must have stolen technology from their Minuteman Robots. They would like to stop that technology from spreading, but would probably be all the more willing to attack him if they learned that the hero running around with their technology is also a mutant. Character created with Hero Designer (version 1.47)
  18. I would argue that the charges on multipower slots are quite limiting. Look at it this way; The cost per slot on a multipower is very low. Limiting slots on a multipower results in almost no point savings, usually at most one or two points per slot. Say he were to run up against someone with little resistant defense, he's going to wish he had more shots with his RKA's than four regular ones and four explosions. If he hadn't taken that disadvantage, and saved three or four points total, he would have as many RKA's as he needed. Same thing goes for the NND attack and the Flash.
  19. Farad is the unit of capacitance. Besides, in that campaign Farad was excellent because of his ability to turn just about any NPC into a corpse... Even if they did try to surrender.
  20. I really have little interest in taking Gravitic out of the action for any longer than necessary. I really love that character, and am really enjoying playing him. I'm not sure what to use these other characters for, but I figure it can't hurt to keep making them. I just figure that its never a bad thing to have a stock of ready made characters around, either as NPC's, possible future PC's, whatever. This concept seemed like a lot of fun, so statting it out made the most sense. Plus, I seem to have nothing but time lately.
  21. Some of that crossed my mind, but I didn't think about it too much. Naturally, it's all open for speculation, left to happen whenever it comes up. It's good never to find bodies in a superhero world.
  22. The issue of being uncomfortable without the twin is just meant to reflect being apart in social situations; ie. a mission necessetates that only one of them go. Being a few hundred feet apart in combat wouldn't be an issue. As far as the DCV levels go, I need to be really careful with the twins, because if you look at the Duplication power, they feedback STUN damage. Since they are essentially working from a common pool of STUN, I want them to get hit as little as possible. Barring a few weird attack types, such as a Drain vs STUN, they will always have the same STUN, so they will usually be staggered or unconsious at the same time. Incapacitated would usually mean one took enough BODY damage to be unconcious, an Entagle they could not get free from, etc. As far as the bit about using the powers without thinking about the other, I just mean a few reaction type things. Usually, I feel they would coordinate well, but would occasionally put the other in danger accidently, usually because I think it might be funny.
  23. No, ultra is right. With an ultra slot, you don't have to use all the points allotted to the slot, you just can't use any of the points alloted to it elsewhere. It still allows the character to only use some of the thirty points into one of the powers. This way, it makes sure the character can only ever be using one slot at a time, because each slot is an ultra taking up the entire pool. I didn't think it would make sense to let the character use 20 points of Shrinking and 10 of Growth, or some other combo.
  24. I got the email, and replied to it tonight, about forty five minutes ago. I believe I put in a link to this thread. Also, for everyone else, here's the HD file.
  25. This is Yo-Yo, a character, or pair of them, that I designed and was hoping for some comments. I wanted to play with the idea of a pair that had a reciprocal growth/shrinking effect.

Outside of combat, the twins are relatively average looking Italian men in their early twenties, with dark hair and a muscular build. Personality: Oddly, with their linked thoughts, the twins refer to themselves in the plural, even when acting alone or speaking about only one body. This habit is very difficult for either of them to break.The twins are good people, which is part of their motivation for fighting crime in Millenium City. However, their wish to join a superhero team in in part motivated by their fear that the Mafia could catch up with them at any time. They figure that having a team of superheroes at their backs might make the mob think twice about attacking them. Quote: Background: Rick and Vic Gemelli, identical twins, were born in New York City in 1980. Their mother perished in a car accident shortly after their birth, which left them with their father. Their father was involved with the mob, but the boys knew little about it. They grew up very close, as their father was often busy or away, so the twins spent virtually all their time together. In 1995, their father decided they should move away from the city. He had cheated his mob employers, and decided to get away from the city, though he did not tell the boys this.For a few months, life seemed good. They had moved to a small town in mountains, and the boys were finally able to spend time with their father. This life style did not last long, however, as the mob soon caught up with them. One afternoon with the three of them fished in a lake near their new home, a bomb detonated inside their boat. Ric washed up on shore, badly burned and injured, but alive. His father and brother were not so lucky. Ric passed out in the woods near the lake, terrified that he would never see his brother again. This trauma seems to have unlocked his bizarre set of body manipulation powers. When Ric awoke, he was not alone. Lying next to him was a perfect copy of himself, who he believed was his brother. In reality, it was not his brother but a manifestation of his powers, his superhuman body trying to recreate his lost brother. Ric discovered that he and his clone shared an astonishing amount with eachother, including a mental connection, though they also fealt each other's pain. Virtually everyone, including the police, believed the boys to be Ric and Vic, which is exactly how they acted. The police privately told the boys that their father was probably killed in a mob hit, but they had no proof. The boys spent the next few years in foster homes, keeping their powers secret. They learned that they could alter their size, but only in reciprocal. When they reached adulthood, they started a two man crusade to disrupt Mafia business in New York city as Yo-Yo. However, their reservations about killing have left them with a lot of unhappy mobsters. Realizing that their revenge plan was not particularly well thought out, Yo-Yo fled New York, heading to Millenium City. Yo-Yo has been working into the superhero scene in Millenium City, hoping to become part of a superhero team. Powers/Tactics: The size powers of the twins only work in reciprocal. As one became larger and heavier, the other becomes smaller and lighter. Either of them can control the powers, which results in a yo-yo effect if they do not agree on which size they will be. In tense situations, the twins often use their powers with little or no reguard to what might happen to the other twin. For instance, one twin might abort to use his "Really Small" power, hoping to avoid incoming attacks, without considering the effects the growth might have on his twin.
