Re: Light and Sound levels

Re: CHAMPIONS 6E -- What Do *You* Want To See? Oh, if you haven't checked the Comic Book Tropes page (at TV Tropes), you should.

I've never liked the way Hero handles light creation. Images (only to create light) strikes me as an awful kludge - you aren't creating an image of anything, just letting people see what's already there. So, I created rules to facilitate this. They sort of expanded to codify ambient conditions for light/darkness and sound. Change Environment CE can now be used to change light levels. It costs 3 points for +/- one light level. CE may not reduce the light level below zero. Images Light Images now rely on ambient conditions to be perceived. They do not create light, and may require a PER roll to detect in adverse conditions. Sound Images default to a Sound Level of 6, but may be changed at will. Advantage: Easily Perceived (+1/4) – An Easily Perceived Image can be detected regardless of the ambient conditions (visible in a dark room or audible in a noisy crowd). Limitation: Obvious (-1/2) – an Obvious Image is automatically recognized as an image without a Perception roll. Effects on Perception Dark conditions give a -1 Sight PER modifier for every light level below 4. If the light level 0 or less, no sight perception rolls may be made (pitch blackness). Extremely bright conditions give a -1 penalty for every light level above 6. Some types of Sight Flash Defense may reduce this penalty at the GM's discretion. Sample Light Levels Cave Interior: 0 Moonless Night: 1 Moonlit Night: 2 Dim Interior Lighting: 3 Normal Interior Lighting: 4 Cloudy Day: 4 Full Sun: 6 Noon in the Sahara: 7 Listening for a quiet sound (less than the ambient sound level) incurs a -1 penalty for every sound level the sound is below ambient. Conversely, there is a +1 bonus for every level the sound is above ambient.

Just the thing for your Russian gangsters to roll in.

Re: Containment - FRED I think the request to be ignored is being ignored.

Re: Empathic Seizure Mind Control would work, if I interpret your description correctly. You'd probably want the, "Set Effect" Limitation ("Do nothing/Contemplate your own emotional state").

Re: Summon Willing Targets EDM to a dimension where that character is with you?

Re: Animate Flame Maybe in 7e.

Re: Super Zeroes Tough Guy: He has somewhat denser muscles and more resilient bones than most people, although not to extreme levels (10 PD, non-resistant). He works as a stunt man and amateur boxer. The Observer: No powers, but a large collection of surveillance gadgets. He's a PI and security consultant.

Re: DC check Checks in D20 can relate either to Characteristics or Skills. Characteristic checks are d20+characteristic bonus, and Skill checks are d20+skill bonus+characteristic bonus. Generally speaking, a DC of 5 would be very easy (requiring only a decent die roll), and a DC of 25 would be very hard (requiring both a good die roll and a bonus).

Re: Star HERO with... not magic, really, but... "Touched" also works, especially if there are personality quirks associated with it. There could also be different permutations ("space-touched", "void-touched", etc).

Re: Zeppelins There's always this nifty concept.

Re: Barrier Issue Given that repairing this Barrier is almost certainly defensive, I'd allow the player to Abort to it also. Of course, that still takes a Phase.

Re: Ghoul from RINGWORLD I notice you haven't written up the reaction to Tree-of-Life as a possible Complication. Were you planning to ignore it or just handwave it if it came up?

Re: Post "gotchas" here "...(in essence, HA is just a Limited form of STR)." (6E1 231) It's the same wording that was in 5E.
