Hi, Everyone! I've been revising/converting my 4th and 5th Edition stuff to 6th Edition as an on-again/off-again project and have trying to come up with a simplified format for characters. I modified a previous template to make it resemble what's published from Hero Designer but can fit on one page. Below is an example of a Power Girl write-up for your feedback in terms of presentation. While quite a bit resource intensive when I commit to printing, I think the final product looks sharp and more importantly, easy to follow for players showing up to my game table to play Champions since it lays out everything in a clean format. Thanks for your help (in advance)! 🙂

Hello, We had a darkness that also affected sight, mental senses and sonar tossed on our hero group and the GM also suppressed our Team Mindlink that was previously established prior to entering the darkness. Since darkness just suppresses the senses I would have thought I could not initiate a mindscan or mindlink while in the darkness, but that a mindlink previously established would still be in effect since mental AOE blast powers centered on me still worked. Or maybe iit does suppress the mindlink while we are in teh darkness sincce it acts like a sense? Any thoughts from the Champions community on whether the GM went overboard or would that be considered a standard affect for darkness to mental senses? Our GM is very experienced and runs a great game.

Updated Solitaire versions View File Here are my updated incarnations of Solitaire (Elaine King) from 4th Edition Champions and Solitaire (Shannon Havelock) from Champions: The New Millennium for 6th Edition. They are what I considered "experienced" versions of the character, as the original stats were "rookie" versions, with an updated design for each. Solitaire (Elaine King) - 425 points Solitaire (Shannon Havelock) - 475 points Submitter fdw3773 Submitted 08/15/2020 Category Characters Rules Version HERO System 6th Edition

This is my interpretation/updated version of the character Flare introduced in the League of Champions comic book series decades ago and featured in the cover art of various early Champions RPG books. Special thanks to Hero forum members pblemguy for referring me to the post where fan contributors worked on the character write-ups of these "old-school" characters and Cassandra, since her write-up of Flare served as my starting point. 🙂 She is at 425 points, which is the equivalent of what I would refer to as an, "Experienced" version in terms of the HeroClix frame of reference (i.e. Rookie, Experienced, Veteran).

Villain Trio - Shadowblade, Mistress Arcane, and Duraig View File One of the story arcs I developed was to feature the descendants of Black Paladin, Black Magus, and Malais the Dragon. The result was the creation of Shadowblade, Mistress Arcane, and Duraig the Dragon. Enjoy! 🙂 Submitter fdw3773 Submitted 05/17/2020 Category Characters Rules Version HERO System 6th Edition

Hello everyone, Right now I'm working on a convention game that will feature a group of starting superheroes (400 points in 6e, 75 complication). All are based in Metro City, a campaign city created by the late DJ Webb. The twist is that all need to be characters drawn by Storn Cook. Please post character information of any character you created that Storn Cook drew.

I know that the Second Great Stronghold Breakout date was 2009, but has it officially been listed as to what month and day it happened? I do have Champions Universe for Hero 6th Edition but it only give a year. I am using it for an organization book I am creating for Hero Games so I do not want to just make it up.

Dozhestvennost (God) View File This is a hitman for the Russian mafia for a Champions game. He is a normal (not a mutant) but his weapon is using Questionite Rounds (double Armor Piercing). Add that to the fact that he can shoot at his target from over a mile away and you have a hitman that is even dangerous to superpowered targets.

If a character has both Damage Negation and Absorption, does the Damage Negation apply before or after the Absorption? For Example: If a character has 3 levels of Damage Negation and Absorption which of the following is true for an attack that does 10 BODY: 1st) The Damage Negation Comes first so the max amount that can be absorbed is 7 (10 - 3 = 7). 2nd) The Damage Negation Comes after the Absorption so the max amount that can be absorbed is 10.

I am creating a power that can be used to drain a mutant of all their mutant powers but I have found that it would be impossible to so as a drain. I had thought of doing it as a transform: Anti-Mutation Field: Severe Transform 3d6 (Mutant into Non-Mutant, Transform back by Getting Out of the Field), Constant (+1/2), Partial Transform (+1/2), Uncontrolled (+1/2), Area Of Effect (16m Radius; +3/4) (146 Active Points); OAF (-1), 3 Continuing Charges lasting 1 Minute each (-1/2) How does this look to you? I am using it for my villian group book for the IHA.

Hi All, I started playing 6th ed Champions with my gaming group a few months ago. I find they min/max the characters and spend 90+pts in offense and defense. We are all experienced players having gamed for 30+ years, but this is the first time with Champions since the early 1990s... I have been using the old 2nd and 3rd edition books, for adventures, and it has been going pretty well, but as a general rule what is a 400pt 6th ed character equal to in 3rd edition? Roughly... If a character selects invisibility (sight and hearing, no fringe, always on), can they be heard while speaking? The player insists he can be heard while speaking, but can't be seen with sonar or infravision. I argued always on is a disadvantage, so no he can not be heard and any discriminatory sight or hearing, other than standard would make the hero visible. Disciminatory senses typically cost 15pts, and it should offset his 20pt power. Am I wrong? Ugh. The same person argued mental paralysis as written CC pg65, states he doesn't need a common way of getting out of mental paralysis, because the book states mental atttacks will do it. I responded: there is no +3/4 advantage: P66 Takes no damage from attack has 3 values +1/4, +1/2, +1. Now go and read the description. at one +1/2 it's transparent to all attacks, BUT +1 can not be attacked,... ... or affected by an outside character. I believe the last sentence is incorrect, ...takes no damage at the +1 (should be +1/2) must specify AT LEAST ONE REASONABLY COMMON AND OBVIOUS WAY TO REMOVE THE ENTANGLE OTHER THAN THE VICTIM BREAKING OUT NORMALLY. He wanted sleep as a common way to break out, but I responded:Yes. Everyone can fall asleep, but not in combat. Entangle is the basis for mental paralysis, and with entangle anyone can help the entangled character with their hands. Everyone has hands, even non-super heroes. Mental blast is NOT common. The book has an error: there is no +3/4 takes no damage from attacks, so I will allow the sleep. Against my better judgement. If you have a not discrimatory sense, and know a invisible character is around, what is the OCV/DCV modifiers? How about hitting blind, with no senses giving a clue as to the whereabouts? The party has min/maxed, so abilities they don't use in an attack is generally low or normal, making it fairly easy to exploit. I've made recommendations to try to be better rounded, but they became upset saying I was trying to micro-manage too much. Is there any advice you can give me about guidelines for character builds? What does everyone think?​
