Is there a write up on how to make such a monster?

Thanks for your input.

How big do you want your monster, K?

i love the splashdown as a whale. The villain caught him and that's when Chris knew he was in trouble

Thanks guys. I'm just venting because I don't want to violate the board rules and just snap. This guy has plain out stated that you cannot call a critical strike at all. You can only get a critical if you roll a natural number. So basically any move like Tony Jaa's flying knee, Goldberg's spear, or...

I have got into with this guy on another forum. he keeps telling me that you can't call critical strikes even though the HU book clearly says any type of flying attack is a critical strike and gets triple damage if you roll a 20. If you can't call a strike, then why is it listed that any leap attack...

I have never had a hunter in any of the games I have run. The players that I have dealt with prefer powers to someone shooting a guy. Even Kraven the Hunter is dismissed as someone not good enough to polish Doc Ock's boots. If I were going to run this type of character, I would run him like either l...

I think it's up to you if you're the gm, but you are not supposed to stack bonuses from the flight powers. I think the general rule is pick one, or the other, but you can't use them both at the same time and the bonuses don't add together. I think the same rule applies to energy dopples/Multiple sel...

did you use growth and APS at the same time? I'd have called him Rhodes. We had guidelines. One of us picked Aquaman and became an APS Liquid hero. I had intended my character to be an emergency group transport and a battering ram. I think my calculated damage was enough to knock planes out of the ...

Uncle Servo tried to get a campaign started where we used established heroes as inspiration. It didn't get off the ground, but mine was Captain Comet, Growth/Sonic Flight/and I think APS Stone but I am not sure now

To build on Regular Guy's mechano link suggestion, something like animal control/familar link might let you hear through the ears of an animal.

The original Dr Midnite fits the power category. He was blinded, then discovered he could still see in the dark, then turned into a crimefighter.

That's how the category is supposed to work.

Daredevil fits in, but not Barbara Gordon/Oracle. Gil the arm fits in, but not Professor X.

Before we get into a weapons thing that doesn't matter, let's get back to the original question. If the guy is a super soldier like wolverine, booby traps are possible if the villains get close enough to him to be caught. The only limit would be his healing factor. A guy I had playing had Invulnerab...

As a Batman, I would pick up all the ninja type spells you can like shadow meld, shadow teleport, and invisibility. Maybe pick up escape or pick locks. Might need some kind of tracer spell if you have any money left for people who escape the first fight

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...

Infiltrators tend to go to invisibility spells, Tanks tend to go for Armor of Ithan with Invulnerability, Blasters tend to use lightning.

What do you want to specialize in?

The easiest way is always going to be to drop the ISP or PPE cost. It slows a game down when your psychic and / or mage players have to stop in the middle of a game to recoup when the villain could strike at any time.

The book says you have to be human/humanoid close to human to be affected for this character class. Superhumans are likely to have weird side effects if used. Superhumans who try to get replacement parts will never be able to use them at full power. Most test subjects are embryos, with some being ki...

It specifically says that vampires are killed and then have a demon fragment the corpse. They don't come back. They are used as puppets. It's everywhere in the text you qouted. They are demons that look human, but they are not alive. And vampires can't rebel against their master vampire. They have t...

csyphrett

I noticed you skipped over page ten where it says a vampire intelligence kills the first person it links to and turns him into a vampire and all other vampires are created the same way.

So again why are you trolling?
CES

csyphrett

No your own words just said that vampires are meat puppets for intelligences. They are not alive. They are dead but animated.

You seem to think they equate the servants in beauty and the beast. According to the rules they equate the puppets from Mr Roger's neighborhood.

You'll convince me of this if you can (1) show me a statement that says eugenics only work on the living (2) show me a statement that says the undead are not living. Any veterans reading the thread actually want to do some rereading of the source material to find such bits if they exist? They might'...

Plus any secondary vampire or wild vampire has to obey a higher vampire of their own family no matter what their alignment which goes back to the original book.

Because Tor insists on rules modifications that he knows won't work since he has read the material like all the rest of us.

Beyond the fact that the vampire is immune like I said, anything cut away is dead and will not function without the rest of the vampire body. What good is a heart that doesn't beat? And again vampires reject anything put in them. That's why they are vampires. The original question was will this work...

csyphrett

And again Vampires are invulnerable to anything that isn't a specific weakness. Eugenics being a specific medical procedure will not work on them due to this.
CES

csyphrett

Also the vampire description says they are invulnerable to anything that can't kill them. How would you work a science based eugenic on something that basically ignores everything, or heals most damage? Medical processes are ruled out by this.
CES

csyphrett

But above said supernatural beings COULD be parted out to instill Eugenics in humans, right? Good question. The dragons are the only one I know they made an example for their dragon juicers. I going have to say no on the vampires and the nightbane, maybe on the weres even if I haven't heard of anyo...

csyphrett

Since Biowizardry doesn't affect the named OCCs, then eugenics doesn't either. The named classes are immune to all of that stuff. A vampire can't even get a magic tattoo.
CES

csyphrett

The answer is no, Tor. There's no weaseling around it. The answer will always be no.
CES

csyphrett

All True Dragons, Master Vampires, True born Werewolves, and Nightbane are Impervious to Chimera-like Eugenic modifications, (because you see actual physical changes) BUT all of them are NOT Impervious to Human-like Eugenic modifications (because you can not see the internal changes made inside the...

I believe healing powers work like strength powers. You only get one. healing factor, immortality, whichever. If you want it to operate better, you need another power that speeds things up like time control.

The skills you listed can be opposed by the same skills. Pick another set for your example.

Negapsychics kill supernatural forces with their presence. That's why they get high bonuses in their area.

The skill is for setting a trap in the environment. That's all it's for. If you want to get technical, the skill doesn't even say you can make a trap. It just says you know what they are.

And like I said, a trap only does the amount of damage set by the material. Not all traps will be able to kill all people, or any people. So you wrote up a list of every possible trap? That's awesome. Could you share that? Because the material doesn't provide that. I'd be interested in that list fa...

Typically the rule is to roll the original character. Additional items powers go on that when picked up, but you don't get the additional skills for thier occ. You just get what the tiem grants.
