You also forgot to mention that after we discovered the alchemist who had been poisoning the vampires. The Stranger talked to him, found out everything he was thinking and then turned around annnd...

 

 

"Well, I see nothing wrong here. Can we help him refine his process?"

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group...

 

GM: So your in the crowd of police using your invisible to sight, sound, touch, taste, mytic, danger and combat power, to place donuts next to unsuspecting police officers...

 

Stranger: And Coffee!

Re: Change of Fortune

 

The Stranger: Rich!... well, time to go use his crowd invisibility and freak people out by making money appear in their pockets.

 

Radon: Lost all his money? The world stopped needing nuclear power? Doubtful.

 

Paladin: Having been through SEVERAL world economy crashes (or close enough) he'll deal and plan for a long-term recovery.

Re: Create-A-Character

 

Bug Pacer.

 

Steven was going to rule the world. He knew it! With his teleport capsule he could transport anything anywhere anytime and no-one would be able to trace it back to him! Not even Dr Destroyer had this much power!

 

Steven felt like a god! And it was all thanks to his secret power source!

 

But what to do first... Well Everyone get hungry. So Steven locked onto some fast food in a McRonalds on the otherside of the planet and got ready to push the button.

 

Unbeknownst to Steven a Slater had crept its way inside his generator and was busily wandering across his 'power source'... The Bizzare energy surged and asorbed the slater. The machine, encountering a different energy signature tried to dump it, but it had no where to dump it.

 

The last thing steven saw was a blinding flash and then his world went dark.

 

What awoke a little while later was a combination of Dr Steven Jong and a Slater. It also ate some cold Maccers...

 

Powers: With a strong exoskeleton, Buggy Strength and the ability to teleport perfectely, Bug Pacer fights for justice, freedom and maybe a snack or two.

 

Personality:

Bug Pacer is confused. He's not quite sure how he fits into this world. He mainly fights evil as it occurs around him. He desires human company but also finds that around alot of people he just wants to curl up into a little ball.

 

Appearance: A Human with a black chitinous sheel, large chitin plates over his back, 4 arms and 2 legs. He also has antennae and compound eyes.

 

He'll usually be seen with a Maccers bag in one of his hands.

 

Next: King Rain

Re: Shadows into Light

 

Well...

 

So far some sparks have flown between our US Marshal and Nightwalker on the matter of perception (both role-played it well). The Stranger has displayed a power directly in front of everyone and no one is capable of telling how/what he did. Our Martial artist got a new snazzy green necklace and our... whatever the hell she's playing can apparently turn into a miniature Chinese dragon and use mental powers...

 

Oh, And I don't pass the chips around (I would if I knew they'd been passed to me)

Re: A super-powered normal

 

I once saw a 'Normal' built with a very snazzy ability... He had amazing, luck, gave good luck to his allies and lots of Bad Luck to anyone who attacked him.

 

I'm talking 80 active point luck...

 

Thats all he had...

Re: New team on the evening news

 

Radon: Really wouldn't care. If they turn out to be proper heroes, good for them. If they aren't up to it... Not his problem.

 

Paladin: Ditto.

Re: Nuclear Explosion Man

Re: Changing Into The Powersuit

 

Yeh, Perhaps she has limited Teleport technology?

 

Its easy to do, just take Dr D, as a hunted and buy it as the instant change (Does not work in limited circumstance, whenever teleport wouldn't work)

Re: Nuclear Explosion Man

 

This wasn't really directed at anyone. Just something another player/GM said to me a little while ago must of just stuck in my craw...

Re: Nuclear Explosion Man

 

I agree. but not everything HAS to be built.

Re: Nuclear Explosion Man

 

[Highlight to see rant]

 

OR

 

you could just not stat it up. Your the GM. You don't NEED to stat it up.

Unless your working inside a set amount of points (Which would be great to tell us what that is...)

What is it with this arbitary feeling that everything MUST be statted up? YOUR the GM, You have the power. The rules are optional for you. YOU have no points limit.

 

YOU can hand out damage as you like, and ya know what? Your players won't ask as long as its appropriate! I've never asked/had asked what the point total was unless it was something seemingly inappropriate!

 

Ignore the cost modifiers, just tack on what seems appropriate.

Re: Help me get into Bricks.

 

You ever try a drink and a smooth line?

 

Easiest way to get into bricks...

Re: Nuclear Explosion Man

 

well, the thing is that modern nuclear weaponry contains only a little amount of radioactive material, So they actually have a comparatively low radioactive fallout compared to the ones dropped on Japan.

 

Do you want a standard modern Nuclear weapon? (Make it a 15d6 explosion, AVLD, megascaled (1" = 1km), 1/2d6 NND Does body for the radioactive exposure)

 

Or a Backyard dirty bomb? (10d6 concussive explosion, megascaled (1" = 100m), AVLD, with a further 3d6 lingering NND Does body attached.)

 

Nuclear weapons are all about clearing the area and destroying everything but not rendering it uninhabitable.

 

Dirty Bombs are designed for maximum spread of radioactive material.

 

Aside from that, You could just say that if your characters are too close...

Re: Super Psychos

 

Clowns... Just plain clowns.

 

Have a clown with duplication.

then have a clown that needs to reapply his makeup everyday or else his face will melt off.

 

I hate clowns...

 

 

Hate.

Re: Help Make Energy Projectors Interesting

 

I love energy projectors, you get to roll lots of dice, play around with any and all of the power-frameworks and mess with many of the movement powers.

 

And they can be rather interesting. Radon was proof of that. and he was my FIRST hero character.

Re: s, A Starting group of villains.

 

Oh, yeah.

 

And the single most devastating tactic these guys have used, ever.

 

Brick grabs, maintains until him and EP can teamwork. He crushes, EP uses a pushed autofire.

 

Hilarity ensues.

 

Comments? ideas? Similar concepts?

These guys are a group I sent my heroes against a while ago.

 

These guys, working together, beat the snot out of four 380+ supers.

 

A little teamwork goes a long way.

 

Standard tactics,

 

Ninja Grabs, Brick charges as EP blasts using teamwork.

 

Mage holds enemies in place with entangles and force wall, restricting firing and moving lines. Also casts growth on Brick and Ninja and Himself sometimes.

 

Brick and EP make teamwork rolls to blast down a hard target.

 

Ninja strikes from Invis to get double stun and body. Targets other martial artists or Weapon Masters.

Re: Minor question on Armored character

 

No no no, Plate armour isn't as cumbersome as people think, but its still cumbersome.

Its less cumbersome then Chain and hard leather. But it is heavy... Damn heavy...

 

a penalty of 2 dex for power armour is reasonable. Even if its just to represent the delayed response of the suit to the wearer's commands.

Re: Minor question on Armored character

 

go with the side effect purchased as part of the armour list.

 

Side effect 6 drain VS dex. (occurs automatically whenever character uses armour) (Set effect 3 dots per dice) -1/2

 

Well, at least thats the way I'd build it. I may be wrong.
