Re: OIF for Powered Armor why? Lord Beavis, your right, with out with out the limitation power armor can be stolen, broken and so forth.. but with out the limitation.. it simply never happens.. just like Doctor Doom. (Ironman has in fact had his suit destroyed, stolen, and not around when he need it...)

Re: Psionic-Focused Campaign/Plot Idea/Musing Secret Goverment projects always works too, both the US and former Soviet Union both studied Psionics at one time or the other during the last 40 years.

Re: as the day approaches... Yeah that was it! Not a bad little module from what I remember.

Re: Background Cliches Cliche: Magic, it exists, there are demon's/eldar gods that want to eat the earth for lunch and there is also one sorcerer/ess who is the greatest magic user on earth who's sole job is to prevent that from happening, normaly with NO help from the various magic using supers that also seem to run about. (aka Doctor Strange)

Re: as the day approaches... Ahh yes, the Island of Doctor Destoyer. First module I ever got for champions, He was what? in the middle 600 points in that version? A far cry from what he is now. If you are using the module 'as is' then you might want to update several of the villains as they are likely to be concidered way underpowered (and a few probably illegal) by the current rules. There was an old V&V module I got at the same time about an assault on a nuclear power plant, for the life of me I can't remember its name.

Re: Green Lantern Object Creation... The first Green Lantern (Alan Scott) had a worse weaknes. It was wood, anything wooden couldnt' be affected by the ring. First time he used it he took on several gangster types, scared the tar out of them with his ability to ignore thier guns.. then got taken out when one of the gangsters grabbed a chunk of driftwood and hit him with it......

Re: Green Lantern Object Creation... The length of the charge on Kyle's ring depends on how long he kept it pressed to the Lantern the last time he powered it and exactly what he is using it for. When he first got the ring (given to him by a guardian who basicly said.. Here use this..you will have to do.. then vanished) he didn't have a lantern to charge it with..and the inital charge lasted (As far as I can tell) for at last 2 months. If he does somethign 'Big' making an object that doesn't go away, stopping a sun from exploding, making a planet (he has in fact..done all these things...) then the charge runs out much much faster. Now the old rings (which were supposed to be all destroyed when the Guardians planet when boom but of coarse..have shown back up again..thanks to time traveling) still have all the old weaknesses. Idealy..they shouldn't work at all as the main power battery was absorbed and destroyed by Hal Jordan before he became the specter... coarse now they are busy making Hal back into a lantern..thats went out the window... And yes.. i am THAT big a lantern freak...

Re: Green Lantern Object Creation... Kyle the current (soon I suspect to be the ex) Green lantern can in fact create object that stick around even after his ring runs out of power (his ring for those who don't know is the 'last green lantern' ring created, out of the ruins of the central battery, it doesn't have the yellow or 24 hour limits.

Re: commonality of unusual defenses Yes, as Far as I know Find Weakness takes Range Modifiers. Interesting topic, I have to admit I have always given flash attacks (gernades) and flash goggles, althrough most of the supervillians (I Gamemaster, rarely get the chance to actualy play) rarely have any. I can't think of a time I have used Power defence or Lack Of Weakness

Re: Something to help New Players Ohh don't get me wrong, your generic characters are excellent, the Character generator in champions tends to make characters a bit to.... mish moshy for my liking (especialy bricks) Example arch-types would have been very nice!

Re: Something to help New Players The Champions genre book has a random character generator (fairly good one) but it does lack 'generic' characters for archtypes.. ... Unless you caught the champions

Re: Show me the PC Same here.. but I am always A GM in search for a game... I love florida...but its a Hero Deadland......

Re: Unstoppable Fred has an example power under tunneling called "superstrength bust through" for smashing through walls easly..so Yep. I would say its legal

Re: UNTIL vs. PRIMUS? Most likely Mr Bush (I refuse to call him president) would not cut the funding as that would simple result in Until's funding being picked up by other nations and would result in the US losing all influence over them. We might provide 40 percent of the funding...but that still leaves the other 60 percent.

Re: Aid in a VPP and Charges The only time I will allow for charges (and several other disadvantages) in a vvp is when they make a LOT of sense for them to be there and the PC can't change them at will. Such as a weapons vvp that can only be changed when your at your 'armory' which has say a gun (with charges). And even then in I make them take 'recoverable' charges if they don't want to temporarly lose the real points used by the power.

Re: Who was the LAMEST? Lamest... Ohh thats easy: Anyone remember.... SPEEDBALL?

Re: I Need Opinions on published supplements. Ack.. Hero Designer... how did I ever forget that, I use it almost every day!!!!!

Re: I Need Opinions on published supplements. Oh definitly, Fred is the only one you NEED. The rest of them are fluff pure and simple, but for the most part very well done fluff, more for the people who either don't have time or the willpower to come up with it themselfs (I qualify for both.)

Re: I Need Opinions on published supplements. Fantasy Hero and Star Hero both rock.. I didn't list them simply because this is the 'champions' thread (heh) if you get Fantasy Hero.. look out for the fantasy hero grimore too.. very good thing to have

Re: I Need Opinions on published supplements. I would suggest getting as many of the ultimate books as you can along with The until powers data base and Gadgets and gear. if you can find it...definitly grab the Ultimate martial artists, very good book

Re: Calling all figure modders and painters, Champions Challenge! Ohhhh step by step instructions (Pretty much exactly what I was looking for.) MANY THANKS!!!

Re: Calling all figure modders and painters, Champions Challenge! What type of putty do you all use for the modifications?

Re: Cheese Meisters Assemble! Create "The Spin Doctor" There was an old series of books named wild cards that had a simular character by the name of the Envoy. He could convince anyone of anything.

Re: Superhero Day! if foxbat shows up... you have to have him lose the contest cause his outfit doesn't look 'legit' enough.

Re: Okay, Who's yer favorite Icon? For Icon's... I would have to go with (as a group) The Fantasic Four, one of the original 'superhero groups' from marvel. (as far as i know only the WWII defenders predate them in marvels offical timeline)
