Re: Utility Belts my standard was 20pts with as many slots as you care to spend. Utility belts are for that little bit of special pizzaz when a GM was frightened of a VPP.

Re: Catalyst: A Champions campaign on Hero Central Wow... I thought that was what I was paying 85 points per character for... To be quite serious though, it is upsetting to see an automatic assumption that I am a wargamer (as evidenced by the compliation of combat statistics). I am a notorious plumber, i would rather play out a dramatic scene than "tag in a little extra stun". Indeed, if there is a player out there who's instincts are to actually let the villian escape it is me. I never even looked at the combinations of characters as a "focused whole"...in fact with the END cost and extra time I never even expected to use more than one or two alters in a scene. Heck, I didn't even buy teamwork as a skill! Maybe he could be limited to one duplicate at a time? As to the foci/OHID limitations (realizing that the overall conversation is now absolutely moot). IMO the limitations applicable are to be interpreted as follows: OIHID: when the character is in hero mode he has access to all powers defined as OIHID. If for instance the power that defines his OHID is unavaiable (suppressed/drained/ environmentally disallowed) the character is effectively not in hero id any more and the powers are rendered inert. example spray the human torch with flame retardant and he not only no longer on fire but he also can't fly or do anything else flame based. Foci and duplicates: in this case the foci are creations fabricated when Johnny "summoned" his alter, but they are real creations subject to the rules governing their existence. Since Johnny's psyche maintains a stable worldview despite all the zany goings on, if the focus is broken, it will stay broken until the duplicate has a "chance" to fix it; roughly on the same order a normal focus would be recreated/fixed. Meaning is Johnny Bravo (4 speed btw is was a formating error) has his armor stripped by a goon in episode 6 and is later "sent home" with out his armor in that same episode, he would not return for the climatic battle a few hours later packing new hardware. JB19r's wasteland world just isn't littered with milspec armor laying around waiting for him according to the gospel of Johnny's disorder.

Re: Catalyst: A Champions campaign on Hero Central Realizing that a multiple personality character (thanks btw ) might be a shot in the dark at this point, here are Johnny 6's alters. Now their Disads are the same as Johnny's with minor tweak here or there. Only johnny is nearsighted for example, so I didn't bother listing them. beware with the five of them it is a long post.

Re: Catalyst: A Champions campaign on Hero Central :snip: At first thought I agreed with you but reading Fed's post made me rethink my opinion. He is so right on the Pool only limitation

Re: Catalyst: A Champions campaign on Hero Central Johnny 6 Every story has a beginning, sometimes the author sets out to write it, but most often the story starts when no one is paying attention. My story is one of the latter varieties. My language arts teacher would be thrilled to see me use the word latter in a sentence. My story is all about when no one is paying attention. For years no one ever paid any attention to me, it was almost like I didn’t exist. That was when things got really interesting. One day, just like all the rest, after I’d walked home…bus driver didn’t see me again…when I walked through the door to my folk’s apartment, I didn’t see the ratty couch or smell dad’s rank cigarette butts. Instead, I saw a world, well an ocean anyway. Strange, I know seeing an ocean in your living room; I did what any sane teenager would do, I turned around and bolted back out the door. After a few moments of “WTF?”; I calmly opened the door again fully expecting weirdness. I got the living room. When my folks came home, I wanted to tell them about my vision, but I chickened out. Being ignored was better than being subjected to the Look. The Look is their way of saying, “Are you still here?” I went to bed that night and dreamed about the world I saw that day. Upon waking I found that my dreams were tame compared to what would happen next. First it was running from the Three, a group of juniors that ran Eastside High, and ending up running through a geyser filled basalt field. Then it was spending a week on board an alien spaceship. I mean how do you pronounce X’haop’c anyway? Their food was good though, I mean once I’d figured out was food and what was an essential part of the ship. But, what really blew my mind was meeting me. You see I had started to believe that I was going somewhere in this universe. When I met J%nn1, I knew he was me from elsewhen. Elsewhen is the term I invented for the infinite number of alternate universes. J%nn1 was in deep straights. A hunter-seeker algorithm from his home sector had marked him. J%nn1 was me so I couldn’t just leave him hanging. Hitting it with a hovertruck let him escape. After the chase scene was complete, J%nn1 gave me a once over, he knew we were the same too, and informed me that I had great power. “Me?” I thought “great power?” Well, my great power was not exactly under control or reliable. It got me into way more messes than it got me out of. Still, when I was somewhere else I could matter. I could do things. People noticed me. Sometimes, as I knew too well, being noticed by the wrong sort was by far the worst option. Some of the Elsewhens were dominated by people of extreme views on personal freedom. My power it seems offers the utmost in personal freedom. Not even the laws of reality can hold me; I’m like linguini in a colander. Some of those goons still show up now and again to harass me or take me back to some training/vivisection center to cut open my brain or something. Along the way though, I met a lot of people, even a few more of me. We call each other Alters. J%nn1 came up with it; J%nn1 is the smartest Alter I know. I’d been doing this thing for a couple of years now, but at home, I was still nobody with a capital N. That was the day I saw that bus go skidding off the road. Driver had a heart attack they said. I wanted to help, but Just Johnny was a kid with a few karate moves picked up on JB19r’s world and a quicksilvery grasp on reality. I looked around at the road and realized that it was up to me. So I called up a me…or rather an Alter, Iron John to be precise, he is the strongest Alter I know. Iron John looked at me for a moment. I know that look; I use it regularly when I arrive in some strange Elsewhen. “Get that bus!” I shouted at him, and then Iron John and I sprang into action. In seconds the bus was safe and the police were informed. It was cool, once I thought about it; I was helping out on my own world. And my power…let’s just say I found that my power would do a lot more than I previously thought. That was how it started. After that first rescue with Iron John I started to bring more of my Alters across to help. Now, I've been doing this hero bit for a few years. I found a new word I could apply to myself. Not geek, that name didn't fit that image anymore. I was a hero. I liked the sound of that. Personality After years of emotional neglect, Johnny's personality fractured into several distinct alters. Perhaps it was a response designed to relieve the lonleiness. Regardless, Johnny now has a slightly distorted image of the world. Not that he is dangerous, just has a very active fantasy life. He truly believes that he has journeyed to other places and times and engaged in great adventures. All of this could land him in serious therapy, except that one Johnny knows no one would believe him about his adventures and two his powers manifested in a spectular way: he can give life to his alters. Now his alters have bodies of their own...from time to time. When needed Johnny summons forth his alters to help him out. Johnny is motivated by a perhaps juvinile desire to protect, to save, and make a difference. As such he has no desire to inflict harm, but has no compuctions about kicking butt. He is determined to become one of the universes greatest heroes. Powers Johnny 6 is a duplicator with the ability to create 5 very distinct individuals with unique powersets. These alters are free willed and possess fully developed personalities. Additionally, Johhny is a world scale teleporter with an ability to distort the space. Among his newest tricks is an effect that shunts his mass elsewhere enabling Johnny to walk through walls and other obstacles. Johnny is an accomplished blackbelt. A feat encouraged by his disorder, as he attempted to fit in with his imaginary world. He rightly calls it his hero training. Additionally, Johnny became very interested in computers at a young age and began learning everything he could about them. Normally, Johnny puts his abilites to good use, although there was an incident in the recent past that plagues him involving NoCom computers and a percieved alien threat to the US. Campaign Use Johnny is a back up PC and Jack-of-All-Trades. He is not as good at any of his peers at what they do, but between his alters he can backstop nearly any hero with his complementary powerset Appearance Johnny is a young man just entering his freshman year at City College. He is very physically fit, which is most likely a sideeffect of his power. He wears glasses, since contacts are too expensive, in and out of costume. He has a tendency to be shy when dealing with people outside of his heroic persona, and neglects to make eye contact. In his hero persona, Johnny is exuberant and even a jokester. His alters possess wildly different personalities from the cold and methodical Johnny Bravo to the flirtacious and energetic Aguagirl.

Re: Catalyst: A Champions campaign on Hero Central

Re: Catalyst: A Champions campaign on Hero Central I understand. The Time travel bit was just a bit of fluff that occupies a small part of the Anywhere EDT, and even the EDT is a MP slot that makes the backstory valid. johnny is meant to remain in his home dimension and bring other versions of himself here. The part about the other dimensions and no superpowers makes sense, although the option was stated to change this particular part. Still the character concept intrigued me and I wanted to send it out there so to speak.

After a few moments of “WTF?”; I calmly opened the door again fully expecting weirdness. I got the living room. When my folks came home, I wanted to tell them about my vision, but I chickened out. Being ignored was better than being subjected to the Look. The Look is their way of saying, “Are you still here?” I went to bed that night and dreamed about the world I saw that day. Upon waking I found that my dreams were tame compared to what would happen next. First it was running from the Three, a group of juniors that ran Eastside High, and ending up running through a geyser filled basalt field. Then it was spending a week on board an alien spaceship. I mean how do you pronounce X’haop’c anyway? Their food was good though, I mean once I’d figured out was food and what was an essential part of the ship. But, what really blew my mind was meeting me. You see I had started to believe that I was going somewhere in this universe. When I met J%nn1, I knew he was me from elsewhen. Elsewhen is the term I invented for the infinite number of alternate universes. J%nn1 was in deep straights. A hunter-seeker algorithm from his home sector had marked him. J%nn1 was me so I couldn’t just leave him hanging. Hitting it with a hovertruck let him escape. After the chase scene was complete, J%nn1 gave me a once over, he knew we were the same too, and informed me that I had great power. “Me?” I thought “great power?” Well, my great power was not exactly under control or reliable. It got me into way more messes than it got me out of. Still, when I was somewhere else I could matter. I could do things. People noticed me. Sometimes, as I knew too well, being noticed by the wrong sort was by far the worst option. Some of the Elsewhens were dominated by people of extreme views on personal freedom. My power it seems offers the utmost in personal freedom. Not even the laws of reality can hold me; I’m like linguini in a colander. Some of those goons still show up now and again to harass me or take me back to some training/vivisection center to cut open my brain or something. Along the way though, I met a lot of people, even a few more of me. We call each other Alters. J%nn1 came up with it; J%nn1 is the smartest Alter I know. I’d been doing this thing for a couple of years now, but at home, I was still nobody with a capital N. That was the day I saw that bus go skidding off the road. Driver had a heart attack they said. I wanted to help, but Just Johnny was a kid with a few karate moves picked up on JB19r’s world and a quicksilvery grasp on reality. I looked around at the road and realized that it was up to me. So I called up a me…or rather an Alter, Iron John to be precise, he is the strongest Alter I know. Iron John looked at me for a moment. I know that look; I use it regularly when I arrive in some strange Elsewhen. “Get that bus!” I shouted at him, and then Iron John and I sprang into action. In seconds the bus was safe and the police were informed. It was cool, once I thought about it; I was helping out on my own world. And my power…let’s just say I found that my power would do a lot more than I previously thought.

Re: Catalyst: A Champions campaign on Hero Central Hiya, I submitted a PC concept yesterday, but the spam filter seems to have caught it. I'll try again now. Concept: Johnny 6 is a dimension hopping college freshman with the ability not only to visit other times/places/universes but bring versions of himself from those "Elsewhens". Mechanically, he works as a duplicator with 5 duplicates. Duplicate 1 is a promethum metal based brick named Iron John Duplicate 2 is a super intelligent psychic and gadgeteer named J%nn1 Duplicate 3 is a soldier from a post apocalypic wasteland (gunslinger) named JB19r "Johnny Bravo" Duplicate 4 is an alien hybrid with the ability to transform into flame (human torch or heatblast for concept) Duplicate 5 is an alien verison with aquatic powers (speedster/minibrick) only this one is a female named Jenny/Aquagirl. I'll HD the designs momentarily. Now let me see if I can get that post to import.

Re: Catalyst: A Champions campaign on Hero Central Johnny 6 Every story has a beginning, sometimes the author sets out to write it, but most often the story starts when no one is paying attention. My story is one of the latter varieties. My language arts teacher would be thrilled to see me use the word latter in a sentence. My story is all about when no one is paying attention. For years no one ever paid any attention to me, it was almost like I didn’t exist. That was when things got really interesting. One day, just like all the rest, after school I walked home…bus driver didn’t see me again…and when I walked through the door to my folk’s apartment, I didn’t see the ratty couch or smell dad’s rank cigarette butts.

They are not true enemies, but the tension is definitely there (rivalry) All pcs are stated but I don't have HD on this pc.

Re: Silver Age Superman my build, admittedly not to make a kryptonian on 350pts I admit (more like 500), was to make Superman a OIHID -1/4 on all his "powers" with the addition of "not versus magic" on a few. Red sun radiation triggered his accidental change back to "normal". Of course the conceit is that Superman is hero all the time. other than that your build is almost exactly like mine with dual MP and EC's bulking up the build. Did you put in tunneling for tearing through bank vaults with ease?
