Personally, I dislike the idea that the different Strength powers offer additional damage. I think the different tiers as levels of raw power and lifting and carrying strength. I actually think the differences between the different tiers is minute when it comes to damage. I mean, if you have an Ext...

Ranger

an old GM of mine used to up the die for kicks. As for head buts and bite attacks, it was usually 1/2 the PS Strength bonus in damage.

Its your world, you can put a small clan there if you want. Either as a lost tribe or a secret educators of the local populace.

as an immortal...forever

Ranger

Player is wrong on 2 counts. Unless the description specifically states it can be used by others, No, it can not. Count 2: GM is always right unless they are Wrong, in which case, see first part.

especially if they can turn invisible, hunt only those that are armed, and must be in warm weather.

I see no reason why they can't learn spells like a regular wizard/mystic study. They should also be able to sense magic like a the Mystic Studier. As Immortals have lots of skills they can just take the skill that lets them recognize Enchantments, and the other one that lets them recognize monsters...

Ranger

Allow the Immortal Wizard to have all of the ley line powers combined with the HU Wizard powers.

Or don't. All depends on what you want to do in your game and what your GM allows.

Ranger

Talk with your GM to see what they will allow. Some groups may have energy weapons (Federal LEOs, Military, State and City LEOs (at least energy stun weapons) but your average person may not have them as of yet (or if they do, they are prohibitively expensive and rare).

Ranger

I think they get the shaft because GMs limit the availability of PPE in the area and never seem point out where Ley Lines/Nexus are where the Mage/Psionic can instantly recharge. As for my Mages/Wizards, I have them research the spells Energy Sphere and Talisman as soon as possible and normally work...

I have played them all, but recently have played the Techno Wizard.

Hardware Unlimited this year...Atorian Empire next year.

Rifter 25 is also a good source for skill programs.

1. The bonuses listed above were based on the PC that I designed the suit for. He/She did not have W.P. Shield. I can edit the original post to reflect JUST the bonuses from the suit/weapon systems. 2. The shield: I would say about 50-75 SDC. This is based on the SDC of the "Air Densifier Pist...

To start, make sure you're aware that Alter Physical Structure: Metal regenerates damage to the altered form at a rate of 4D6 S.D.C. per 10 minutes - that's from the official Heroes Unlimited Second Edition errata. This errata is available online and is listed in pages 16-17 of the Heroes Unlimited...

Ranger

I have had players go both ways. Some don't like anything but magic powers or melee weapons and since the mage is one of the few classes that gets a magic weapon, they pick one. On the other hand, I have also seen players build their guys like hardware characters and use magic as a supplement to th...

I am thinking of playing a Techno Wizard in Hero's Unlimited. Going to use the money for the Analytical Genius as a limit to the amount of gear he starts with.

Thoughts/Ideas for equipment?

Ranger

Coalition Technical Officer should be the star.

Ranger

I allow my players to come up with "Stunts" that they can perform wiht their powers. I usually make them make several control/skill rolls before they get used to doing it with out having to think about it. (for the first 5 times they perform the "stunt" they have negatives to the...

you could also look at Rifts Source Book 1...Or Rifts Vampire book 1 with the Reid's Rangers.

Ranger

In my games, I tend not to try and explain the explosion of why powers have surfaced...unless one of the character's tries to research it. Then sometimes it is because of freak accident (comet, solar winds, etc) or a evil genius who changed the world's eco system in some way to make humanity evolve ...

The Angels are providing me covering fire from the sky.

Saving the Joker was more to prevent Nightwing from becoming a murderer than anything else. For Batman, while he is taking the law into his own hands, he is not judge, jury or an executioner (well... at least not the last one). That is the line he doesn't cross... one that he has to fight every day...

Ranger

I like playing Viglianties or Anti-Heroes. the SUperman types just annoy me.

Ranger

He is the driven hero who accepts nothing in his life other than his pursuit of his mission.

Ranger

Because of Video Game Systems and the complete lack of imagination of the current youth when it comes to role playing.

Ranger

When I need a stock throw away character (Basically a one shot), I use one that I already have, especially since I have created at least one of each type of super hero. If the game calls for a character with a back ground and such, I may update the stock sheet, or create a whole new one. But sometim...

It gives immunity to all normal earth (terrestrial) diseases but geneticaly modified ones specifically for that hero/villian may not be immune to it.

I would go with a wired agent from N&SS For Martial Arts I like: Leopard Style Kung Fu or Sankukai Karate; Cause my Super Spy wants the Art of Stealth (prowl on steroids) For Cybernetics I like: Facial Silicon Layer, On Board Body Computer, Cyber Eye, Built in Phone. Technology Marches On so I ...

How does one get a PP above 30 WITHOUT being augmented in some way?

Ranger

When I get home, I will post a right up I did on it.

Ranger

N&SS Operative Agent makes a good hero base for this character.

Ranger

I always allowed them to change the color, sex, hair color/length, etc but could not duplicate a specific person *unless they had the disguise and impersonate skill.

Ranger

Hi started char gen for our first campaign of HU. Started of making it ok but when we got to skills and powers there were a few questions. The major power that he rolled was Sonic Power and ability 2 is Emit High-Pitched Whine this states that it has a range of 180 feet + 5 feet per level. It then ...

Ranger

Have had no trouble hurting/stopping invulnerable characters. Most of the characters still have to breath/eat and are vulnerable to gases and air born toxins.

Have buried many an invulnerable character in quick drying cement.

Ranger

Anyone use the OCCs from N&SS as the education level for your super hero?

Ranger

Yes all the time. I actually update a spread sheet with all of the skills as I get more books.

Ranger

I always like having dead relatives, they can not be used against my character. No time travel or resurrection in your games? There have been and every time it is used, I roll my eyes and my character begins to search for a way to return things to how they should be. Much to the GM's anguish. As fo...

Ranger

Really? Point blank shots are instant kills And look how many GM treat doing that as hunting season on PC, one-shot killing them to punish them for it. The only point blank instant kills are when the PC/NPC dives on a grenade. Point BLank Shots do damage (1.5 I believe) direct to HPs but are not in...

Ranger

Have disregarded the instant death from the get go. For those times characters have rolled "Instant Death" was rolled, the character failed to teleport and I had them roll damage (4d6 to HP and SDC).

But I disagree with the instant death part of the ability.

Ranger

What the GM says is what I would go with. Especially since it may change from player to player.

Ranger

Still curious about additional magic. I'm going to assume they're not like a mystic and can learn new spells even if they don't get any spells per level, but I'd like anyone else's opinion on it. Daniel Stoker I use the rule that they get at least one spell level per every year of age. Over and abo...

While you may have played him for a year, I have to point out that I said before, that I would not allow that character.

Choose one: Mega Hero Mutant OR Demi-God Not both. ONE MEGA HERO POWER and NO Pantheon power until you become an actual god. An Achilles heal that is a real problem, not a minor handicap (Like crippling exposure to sugar) when dealing with lesser mortals. I am actually surprised that you did not wor...
