Untill comes to you and tries to recruit you. You have powers/abilities that a covert orginization their trying to get information on is looking for. So they want you to turn bad. They perfer if you adopt a new villianos persona, but are willing to work with you if you insist on a fall from grace bit. There are some limits to your criminal activities. No, you can't rob the first national bank. Still they have several cover operations of various types you can hit. You can work with established supervillians as long as they aren't leathal types. Grab and foxbat are fine, but don't even think about Black Paladin. They have some superheroes who are willng to take a dive, but your on your own with most superheroes and the cops. But don't worry if you screw up, you'll quickly escape. So you in and if so how?

Re: Campaign Idea . . . almost. I'm with Bubba. Package delivery/transportation. It seems simple enough. You get the box/ person at point a and take them to point b. But you never know what the person hiring you is up to, whats in the bag, or what your going to find at the other end. A clean cut young woman hires them to deliver an object to an art gallery. The knock and no one answers. So they try the door and the owner's body falls on them. Now his blood is on them, and one of them accidently touched the knife. Shame the cops can't find the woman they clamed hired them.

Will is my second mate. Fire on the Seaduck." Points dramaticly.

Re: The Dysfunctional Super Team! Scaredy Cat would first recover from the shock of now being officially a Superhero. He would take a couple of days to debate seeing a psychiatrist or lawyer depending on if he agreed willingly or got drafted. Then he'd retreat to his speciality research. He wouldn't be interested in the cons criminal backgrounds. Hey if the government cleared them or their trying to be better people who is he to interfere? But likes dislikes and patterns of behaviour. then he'd use that information to try and become the go to guy. Not about powers who cares, but about personal problems. He'd want to know who among the cons were waivering, and who among the newbies the pressure was getting too. He'd also try and help smooth out personality conflicts. As to the love quadrangle, since he's to afraid to admit to the woman he loves he even likes her, he'd ignore it mostly. Though if anyone seems to leaning towards hurting their rival, a little recounting of a tale were that goes wrong with his invoke fear power behind it might be forthcoming.

So heres the deal I'm redoing an old villian in 5th edition. Cad is a martial artist sort who dresses like a Victorian and carries a cane. I've given him 17 points in martial arts, a hth and hka in the cane, darkness bombs, armor, and some enhanced senses and defences in his mask. But I still need like 50 points in powers and I'm stuck. I don't want to go with eb's, drains, or mental powers. Anything else he'd have would be oaf or oif. So what would you give him?

Re: Collective character Powers fit into the heroic talents catagory, but what your talking about isn't an offical one. It would be something like Second wind weak 8 1d6 aid +1/4 trigger has 10 or less stun -1/2 only to start values strong 16 2d6 aid +1/4 trigger has 10 or less stun -1/2 only to start values or Second wind 8 2d6 succor +1/4 trigger has 10 or less stun _1/2 only to start values So is this acceptable to everyone. And if so do we include option 1,2, or 3?

Re: Silly Question: Rita Hayworth's COM? O.k. First for the original point of the thread. I'd go with 18. True she's gourgeous, but 20 in the maximum human level, so I can't quite follow you to 23. Now for what has become. Mind control is a bit of an overstatment, but as the dozens of crimes of passion indicate good looks and sex appeal can get people to go aginst there natures. Game wise it's like this Supergourgeous needs to see the Viper plans. No it's not mind control so she doesen't walk up to him and say "I have a low cut dress show me the plans." The event more goes. She meets him in a bar and says "I have a low cut dress lets go back to your place." At his place she says. "Wow you have one of those computer thingies, I like smart men. Are you any good with it?" She notes his password as he signs on to the Viper network. "Wow your so good at this, I'm only good at (insert sexual induendo/act) They must trust you with important stuff. What's like the big important thing they gave you?" He calls up the plans for a few moments. She memories them. "Uhm o.k. I don't get it. Let's ..oh no I'm late for pilates. Bye."

Re: Describers O.k. for those of you a tad confused about what I mean. Take the word miracle now as a character name its perfectly fine, but in dc there is Mister Miracle, and in marvel there is Miracleman. Looking over the public domain characters there was even a Mister Muscles. So I was just wondering if anyone had used names like Mister Shotgun or the Green Ardvark for their charecters, if not would they consider it, or was the whole thing too silly for the modern gamer in general?

Re: TEAM ALPHA PBP game You seem to have something against herocentral. Why didn't you like running a game there?

Re: Masked Crimefighters And The Bill Of Rights This reminds me of an old Spiderman comic. Mary Jane was a juror in a case where the police responded to a robbery. Seacrhing the area the found a know criminal tied up in webbing with the stolen loot. At his trial he claimed he was merely walking along, and was distracted from the sound of approaching police sirens. The distraction was Spiderman swinging by, and suddenly throwing the loot at him and tying him up. Or in the case of Thatman perhaps he has a tendency to break into homes and buisnesses to catch criminals. All of whom would probably claim he planted evidence.

Re: Help Me Populate A Creepy Hotel Late one night at the bar the bar keep tells an old ghost story about a carriage driver who would appear to help stranded or people in a hurry. He would never charge for assisting them saying they could pay him later. Invariablly they who accepted the ride died in a week. That night or shortly after they realize their late. Rushing to the front of the hotel they are lucky enough to spot a cab leaving. Waving it down they realize they don't have their wallet, and ask the cabbie to wait. The cabbie gestures for them to get in. "It's not like I don't know where your staying. You can pay me later."

Re: Help Me Populate A Creepy Hotel The nice guy of doom Well dressed and polite, he's very friendly, but keeps mostly to himself. Whenever anyone talks about any occurance past a week, he tells them it won't matter. When asked why he says they won't be there then. He won't say where they'll be, just wherever they plan to go they won't reach. Whatever their worried will happen won't affect them. Perhaps the should take in some sight seeing, while they can.

Looking over the public domain superheroes it struck me how many use descriptive titles in their names. Espically since folks have pretty much stopped using them. The last big fan was Stan Lee: Fantastic Four, Amazing Spiderman, Invincible Iron man. So I was just thinking about them and thought I'd ask the group some questions. Apparently they break down into three catagories. Color- Black, red, blue, green, and purple being the most popular. Titles- Mr., Miss., Dr., Baron , Count, Captain, Man, and Woman toping the list Substances- Steel, Iron, and diamond among the most popular. So is this sort of thing a piece of the past or has anyone used one lately? In this pc world is there no place for the Black or Green ardvark, and if not does the Blue or Green ardvark slip by? And the thing that makes me wish I knew how to make a poll, which adds more menace to a villian Dr., Captain, Baron, or Count?

Re: Pulp Fantasy "Prof. Gandalf, we need your help. Our spies in Mordor have reported that Sauron is still alive." "What? But his head was cut off." "Apparently they were able to reattach it using the mystic properties in there Doom Labratory." "Amazing. Sauron was always an incredible man. Such a shame that intellect has been twisted to sinister purposes." "True, but we have more immediate problems. Some of the heads of the Nasgul cult have been dispatced to recover Sauron's secret weapon." "Not the T-ring?" "Presicly. It's too dangerous to let fall into enemy hands. We can no longer bother analying it, it must be destroyed." Prof. Gandalf scratched his granite hard square jaw. "With our limited understanding the only way to do that would be to penetrate enemy territory straight to Doom Labratory. I'll need top men." "Who?" "Top men" "Whoever you need Prof. you have." "I'll do it."

Re: A little, but not too much Martial Power? The trouble as I see it is the brick. who is ten pd higher than the mages, and you describe the psi as fragile, so I'm assuming less. This looks more like a job for manuvers rather than find dc. Like a nnd choke hold for the brick. Stay away from find weakness. It helps with the brick, but your already worried about the others defenses. If you have to go straight dc I'd say about 10d6. Enough to hurt the brick if he hits often enough but not so much that a couple of good rolls takes out everybody else. Depending on the others powersthe fight probably goes like this. The artist focuses on the brick, and uses various throws to keep the others away, figuring once the brick is down the others would be easy.

Re: So why was the old man killed? Another approach would be Pappas running a small one man operation, occasionally did buisness with a shady type. At worse Pappas figured he was a diamond smuggler. Then Pappas learned his buisness partner was a notorious supervillan. Not wanting that kind of trouble, Pappas stole something of importance to the villian and threatened to destory./ turn it over to the police if the villian didn;'t leave him alone. Fearing the villian would find it if Pappas hid it in the apartment, He hid it on Rex. Of course Rex being a stray that would probably involve the old microchip under the skin as opposed to in the collar trick. The theif either intending to tack over for or take on the old villian seacrhed the apartment for the item when he killed Pappas. He decided to make one last attempt, and when Rex bite him, the theif realized only one thing about the apartment was the smae since the new family moved in. Time for some dog napping.

Re: Collective character O.k. for some reason reposting the stats takes hours to show up on the site, so their going to be double posted again, but at least this time the twoposts will have differtent stats. the second will fix the fisticuffs problem which gives and extra 6 points, so we have 25 points to use.
