Forums of the Megaverse®

I think the Villains Unlimited character most needing of a conversion (and one that GREATLY boosts his power) is Chiang-Six.

In order to convert I used the Chiang-Ku dragon stats from Palladium Fanatay's Dragons and Gods book. I increased his PS by 5 points (to his racial maxium) mainly because I had to decrease is PE score by 6 (racial maximum is 22). I maxed a few things like SDC, PPE and such because he is supposed to be badass (and he is still not as tough as some other varieties of dragon out there). I also Increased his level by 3 since it's been a few years since he made his first appearance and has probably been up to a lot of nastiness in the intervening 11 years. As for the rest I basiclaly followed the D&G book and used his stats in VU as a guidline.

And now I present Chiang-Six 2nd ed:

This is pretty sweet, Cardiac. Don't know that I'd have increased his experience level, but it seems to have worked out fairly well.

You know, it would be a great thing if someone, somewhere, posted updated versions of Heroes Unlimited characters (Revised to HU2). What if we were to start a thread here on the HU boards where someone would post their own interpretations? It shouldn't fall into the category of "do not post conversions" as we wouldn't be converting other companies' intellectual property.

What say you all, Hero-heads?

Here's another update from VU - this time one of the main Badasses of the HU universe - Voltaic!

I basically made him a mega (as a guy who makes entire hero and villain teams crap their spandex should be, plus he's on the cover of the friggin book!), and upgraded his EE-Electricity to Super EE Electricity. I also gave him a few levels that I figured he may have gained in the 11 years since he was first printed.

I also gave him some nifty equipment - he DOES work for the Fabricator after all. His costume in particular arose from it's mention in his description about how the Fabricator made him a costume that helps him "channel his powers". Never knew what that meant so I made something up (inspired by other magnetism-weilding characters in comics). I was toying around with increasing his electrical damage by 50% as well, but I think that would have been too insane. He does enough with SEE-Electricity anyways.

Anyway - here'e my version.

Money: Voltaic has amassed a personal fortune of 25 million in bank accounts, 20 million in stocks and bonds in various companies worldwide, and has 2D6 x $15,000 in cash on hand at all times. His annual salary is five million dollars, plus bonuses and perks. He also has access to the resources of Fabricators Inc., which is nearly beyond measure.

Weapons: All the weapons made by Fabricators Inc. are at his fingertips, as well as many weapons that aren't. However, he prefers to use his natural powers and strength, using "external" weapons as a last resort.

Vehicles and Other Equipment: Voltaic has all the resources of Fabricator's Inc at his fingertips, including electronics, weapons and vehicles of all kinds, and even teleporters. The Fabricator also personally designed a special costume for Voltaic, which helps him channel his electrical and magnetic abilities, provides physical protection and the following other abilities;

Voltaic's Costume
Electro-Magnetic Channeling: The suit augment's Voltaic's powers, increasing their range by 50%. Note that this is in addition to his Mega-Hero bonus, thus effectively doubling their range.

Advanced Flexi-Steel Construction: An advanced ultra-thin form of flexi-steel - one that does not need hip or shoulder joints - it is as supple as thick rubber, yet as strong as steel. Unfortunately, due to the materials involved and the manufacturing process, this suit does not have the same energy resistance as the normal suits. AR 16. SDC 300. Weight - 14 lbs. No Prowl Penalty.

Force Field: Exactly the same system as on regular Fabricator Armor, except the need for a bulky power system is gone; Voltaic simply charges the unit with his own powers. SDC: 200. Recharges at a rate of 3 per minute.

Strength Enhancement: The suit is designed so that Voltaic can channel his magnetism into the structure of the armor without damaging it, effectively doubling his strength (up to PS 76). However, Voltaic must concentrate to use this, meaning that he cannot use either of his major powers while maintaining the enhanced strength. The enhanced strength provides the following combat abilities; Restrained Punch - 5D6+67. Full Strength Punch - 2D4x10+67. Power Punch (2A) - 3D6x10+67. Body Block/Tackle - 2D4x10+67. Crush/Squeeze - 2D4x10+67 per attack. Body Flip/Throw - 2D6x10+67. Karate Kick - 4D4x10+67, Tripping/Leg Hook - knockdown, Wheel Kick - 4D6x10+67.

Electronics: Has a micro-video communicator built into his suit - looks and talks into a small screen on the top of his left hand and listens to the microphone in his headgear. Also contains a micronized PDA. Both systems are shielded from his powers to avoid damage.

Now that's what I call a super villain!
:ok: Two thumbs up for that conversion dude.

And now for your viewing pleasure, I present the HU World's most powerful Dictator, ruling his own country with an iron fist - The Usurper!

Not much really changed with this guy - just upgraded his power armor with a Robotic-class-like budget (and the combination of two classes kind of make him a Mega according to the unofficial rules).

1) Retractable Vibro-Sabre - in right forearm. 1D6x10+45 damage. Made of a special metal alloy that is nearly indestructible.

2) Particle Beam Blaster - in Left Forearm. 1000 ft. 2D4x10. Unlimited Payload. Used as a backup to his own natural powers.

3) Power Focusing Circuitry - in each arm/hand. Allows the Usurper to channel his natural powers through the armor. The range of his EE-Energy Blasts are tripled and do slightly more damage (14D6+16 or 2D4x10+20)

I like the conversion...but 200lbs for a suit of power armour? At the very least you should triple if not quadruple it. Even then, it's not really "realistic," since the reactor, sheilding, and assorted gear to produce usable power from the reactor would be (bare bones, and not worrying about long term exposure - ie: minumal sheilding) about 250lbs+. However...this is a game, and "realism" is not the point. Still, I'd increase the mass of the suit! (Possibly even to the point of rivalling a small car!)

Other than that, like I said - I like it! Good conversion!

Dude, the original suit was 100 lbs - I doubled the weight. Plus, the "reactor" is probably about the size of a tv remote control and powered by a small radioactive pellet. Don't ask me how it works - it's comic book superscience.

Plus the power armor isn't exactly big and klunky like a Rifts SAMAS - it's actually light and almost form-fitting. See the illustration on page 204 of VU.

I figured I'd post another one - this time Soundwave. I changed him to Hardware Electronics mainly because it seemed a better fit than Mechanical (that, and there aren't a lot of H-Elec characters out there). I also added a few new gizmos to his arsenal.

Money: Not much - has generally been making small-time hits (generally measured in the thousands to tens-of-thousands per hit), but has been becoming increasingly bold. Also, rumoured to be developing large-scale sonic weaponry to be sold to the highest bidder.

Weapons, Vehicles and Other Equipment: See below, but may carry more "mundane" equipment if the need arises.

Small electronic tool kit.

Sonic Disrupter Pistol - Same, but can also be set to duplicate the effects of a "Sonic Disrupter Rifle" from Aliens Unlimited (using sound waves to knock targets unconscious - AU p 176). It will also self-destruct if someone other than Soundwave attempts to use it or tamper with it (due to a special chip implanted under the skin on each of his palms).

Sonic Disrupter Grenades - Same, but can also be set to duplicate the effects of a "Sonic Disrupter Pistol" from Aliens Unlimited (using sound waves to knock targets unconscious - AU p 176)

Sonic Damper Grenades - Similar to the Sonic Disrpupter Grenades, but instead of creating sound it negates it (cancelling out the sound waves by generating its own counter-waves). Those within the globe can't hear a thing and sound from outside can't be heard (and vice-versa). Also like the Disruptor Grenades, they have a self-destruct mechanism.

Sonic Noise Maker - Effectively the same as Sonic Power #2 - Emit High-Pitched Whine. Victims also suffer -30% to skill performance. Like the other grenade-like devices, it lasts 6 minutes and then explodes.

Sonic Shield Bracelet - Left Armband creates a shield of solid sonic energy - like a mideval shield, and weilded as such. Effectively indestructible - keeps renewing itself as it is powered.

Sonic Blades - basically equal to Vibro-Knives - 2D6+3 damage + PS bonus. Unless de-activated in a certain manner (or they remain activated for more than an hour), the blades self-destruct like the grenades.


Wave Rider - Sonic Surfboard
Size: 8ft long
Weight: 25 lbs
Natural AR: 14
SDC: 150

Combat Bonuses (to be added to normal bonuses while Soundwave is riding it): +2 to initiative, +2 to strike and parry, +6 to dodge, automatic dodge (only PP bonus applies), hand to hand attacks have +1 to damage per 5mph of speed (but generally doesn't go too fast to avoid hurting himself - max bonus usually +4).
Damage: Ram with Board - 1D6 damage per 10mph

Mobility:
Flying - hover to 250 mph, max altitude of 3000 ft.
Skill Bonus: Has incredible maneuverability even going at top speed; turning corners and jinking between obstalces like buildings nearly effortlessly. +30% to pilot skill for trained operators.

Equipment/Features:
Solar Powered (On overcast days, speed and altitude are halved)
Energy Cell: Stores 4 hours worth of power for the board. Can be used to provide partial power at night or in lightless conditions (half spd & alt), or can allow the board to operate at full capacity on overcast days for 4 hours.
Sonic Lift/Propulsion System
Firm-Grip Coating on top of board (so he won't slip or fall off).
Reflective coating - halves any energy damage to the board.


Costume
Weight: 20 lbs
Armor Protection: Equal to a Hard Armor Vest - AR 12, SDC 120. The armor has the same relfective coating as the wave board - energy damage is halved. In addition, the suit's underlayer is equal to a "Kinetic Suit" from AU p 177 - this is in case he is thrown or knocked from his board at high speed (kinetic impacts do half damage - including sonic blasts).
Firm-Grip Coating on boots, gloves and backside (so he won't fall or slip off the wave-board)
On-Board Computer - micronized and equal to a state-of-the art laptop. Keypad on the right forearm. Has a wireless modem allowing him to remotely hack computers. Displays on the goggles' HUD. Special software also allows it to duplicate the effects of a robotic Sound Analysis Computer.
The Headpiece has the following Features:
Sonic Dampers: Takes no damage/feels no adverse effects from loud sounds.
Sound Amplification: Equal to Minor Super Ability Heightened Sense of Hearing (+1 to Parry, +2 to Dodge, +6 on Initiative when on)
Radio Transciever - 20 miles
Optics - Equal to an Optics Band and has a HUD in the Goggles
Motion Detector and Collision Warning System
Loudspeaker (with modulating voice synthesizer and sub-sonic capabilities)
Two Small Pneumatic (compressed-air) Launchers - Used to fire the Sonic Tracer Bugs and/or Radio Wave Disruptors up to 300ft. Each launcher holds 6 STBs or RWDs.

Radio Wave Disrupter - Same, lasts 2 hours. RWD is either magnetic or has a sticky coating to ensure it stays on-target. Same size as the STB.

Sonic Tracer Bug - Same

I'll try another character that might require a dramatic change; Circuit Board. Instead of a Robotic Transferred Intelligence - according to his description he is actually a Brain Transplant Cyborg. I had to fudge a bit and mix up Bionic and Robotic Equipment in order to keep him similar to the revised version, and just passed it of as him being an "advanced" cyborg. Enjoy.

very good, just wanted to let you know, its appreciated.

keep up the good work!

Thanks - I'm kind of shying away from many of the super-powered characters mainly because I don't have Powers Unlimited YET......but I should be getting PU1 and PU2 at the same time in a few weeks, that's IF PU2 comes out on time (or at least the latest "on time") *snicker*

Would any of y'all give Animal Metamorphosis - Bat the Sonar Sense minor power in PU?

Nah - the regular animal sonar sense would work just fine - it's basically just another way of seeing, and I don't think it would be as elaborate as a whole new super-power.

Good job so far, Cardiac. You're really doing your Uncle Servo proud.

Next I will convert the criminal with a heart - Psike-Out

Money: As a high roller who likes to gamble, he loses his money alost as fast as he gets it, but always seems to have a lot on hand at any given time (mid to high tens of thousands). While he does have his "retirement fund" that he contributes to after every new hit, he wants to live his life now as well, and is not afraid to throw money around (especially when he can always get more from the "fat cats" of society).

Weapons, Vehicles and Other Equipment:

Occasionally uses handguns, but tends to rely on his powers by far.

He rents, buys or steals expensive sports cars and luxury cars, or any other vehicle as he needs it.

He also possesses the best in lock-picking tools (for when he can't convince his "new best buddy" to open the safe), surveillance/bugging equipment, and mini video cameras (with nightvision capability). He always "cases a joint" before he robs it or uses the equipment to gather information on something/someone.

In addition, he has a state-of-the-art PC in his current residence for remote hacking purposes (and several of his powers come in quite handy - see p 208 AU Galaxy Guide for rules on Superpowered Hacking).

Physical Disability: His vocal cords were removed while he was experimented upon by the Freakmaker - combined with his poor literacy, this could make communication with him difficult.

Power Note: For some odd reason (a side effect due to his unusually high PPE?), his CEF-Fire power can affect supernatural creatures as if it were a magical or psionic attack. Thus, creatures that are normally invulnerable to flame like Vampires and Werewolves are still damaged as if it were a magical fire attack. Creatures immune to both normal and magical flame are still not affected by his fire powers however.

Money: Generaly none. Tends to steal what he or others need.

Weapons, Vehicles, Other Equipment:
Rarely uses weapons of any kind, but does have a pair of silver-plated daggers he found in a dark alley (probably accidentally left by somebody). He uses these only when he faces supernatural creatures that prey on the homeless and poor.

He also occasionally uses a motorcycle he "aquired" from a local gang member who was terrorizing the people under his protection.

Note - I bumped this guy's level up to 15th due to the fact he has been doing what he does for a very long time, and 9th level didn't seem to cut it.

These have been very cool stuff so far. Can't wait to see more.

This has to be some of the coolest conversions I have ever seen! Ill have to take a stab at one of the characters one day.

I thought these were ok, but most of the characters were characters i'd never actually use. I mean. c'mon Golden Rod? ..

There are heroes and Villians for any type of game you want to run. Golden Rod is more of a "four-color" villian (but then again it all depends on how you play her). Hellhound would be more of a "modern horror" hero, what with the whole Freakmaker backstory.

Besides - I'm just getting warmed up - when PU2 eventually gets released I'll get both PU books - and then there will be much converting...oh yes.

Me thinks Golden Rod is one of the better ones. Kinda reminds me of Moonglow, Star Sapphire, the Green Lanterns, etc. Almost all of the Rod's powers is based on an energy manipulation of some superdudes item-users in the comics.

Blinding Flash
Globe of Daylight
Armor of Ithan (energy field)
Breathe Without Air (Green Lantern has done this in his "Armor of Ithan")
Energy Bolt
Invisibility (Simple) (deflection of light)
See the Invisible (energy manipulation again) or Green Lantern "flashlight" in the cartoon.
Charm (look at the pretty lights, she's glowing like an angel)
Agony (an energy conflageration around the victim)
Immobilize (energy bands)
Globe of Silence
Invulnerability-Limited (force-field imbued)
Wind Rush (a "heavy" golden energy mass attack)
Firestorm (a golden energy storm instead of a normal fire looking thingy)
Teleport (change to energy and move at the speed of light)
Anti-Magic Cloud

Well done, that's just how I envisioned her powers working!

********


How to defeat the entity:
A: Psionic or Magical Exorcism gets it out of the host body.

B: Depleting the SDC and Hit Points of the creature will send it back to its home plane of existence. As the creature takes damage - it starts getting smaller - closer to the host's natural size. The tricky part is not killing the unlucky host. Any damage beyond the monster's hit points goes directly to the host (average human adult having 30 to 40 HP and SDC combined.

C: Losing possession of its Weapon of Chaos for over 72 hours. It can sense the sword's location at all times and will do anything to retrieve it. If it cannot, the entity looses its link to this dimension and return to its home plane.

D: Incapacitating or restraining the body may convince it to leave and find a more suitable vessel.

It would be virtually impossible to convince it to leave the host willingly.

In all cases the host does not remember what transpired while he was possessed, but otherwise returns to normal.

Just mix in a SCRET update, bring their Power Armor levels up to date and you have enough for a Rifter Submission.

Which might just be your best bet since Villains Unlimited 2e seems to have dropped off the schedule...

I didn't realize it was even being considered....

Is that all of his damage category?

I had always pictured the Fabricator as a Hardware Analytical.

Well, he's a 60-year old normal human. He's not much of a warrior - more of a tinkerer. His real skills would be with guns anyway.

Besides, it's very unlikely any PC would even be able to engage in fisiticuffs with the fabricator - they would have to get throuugh a virtual army of high-tech and powered henchmen, and of course, his bodyguard Voltaic.

I actually had my players meet the Fabricator once in a game...they just thought he was a kindly rich old man kidnapped by a powerful criminal empire (a rival to Fabricators) and rescued him. I don't know if I will ever tell them the truth, or how I can get the Fabricator to repay the debt he feels he owes the PCs.



Hmmm.....I just did a straight conversion from VU. I don't think so - the fabricator would lose all of his special skills. Besisdes - I really dislike the idea of the Analytical category being the "catchall harware category" - why take any others when you can do anything with analytical? The analytical is not a master of all trades - it is a dabbler, while the Fabricator is supposed to be an expert in all 3 feilds. But that's just my opinion.

True dat.
The way I do it with Analytical's is that let's say they are souping up an gun of some sort, I have them roll under weapons engineer, but unlike the Weapons Expert, the Analytical skill in weapons engineering is stopped at 98%, where as a Hardware Weapons can go beyond that. But I do see where you are cominh from. Good conversion.

Heck I would say put all of these character conversions together and place them on a website would be really cool. Heck my site is back up and running.

Yup - I am in the process of creating a personal site as we speak. I definately will put up these conversions and all my other RPG stuff.

Well, usually when you have a comma, there is something following it.

Oopsie....changed . Picky piccky picky.

First Freak Maker, now Fabricator... my players are just gonna looooooovvvveeeeeeee you.

LOL - I should - I'll have to think about that

Actually, I'd say you were further along than that... the only parts that really needed updating IMO were the NPCs. The organizations (and creation tables) still are pretty valid.

BRING ON THE SPEED JUNKIES!





j/k

I would like to see the Sentinels

The Sentinels and the Masters would be great.

besides here, where on the web is your revised VU?

Advanced Flexi-Steel Construction: An advanced ultra-thin form of flexi-steel - one that does not need hip or shoulder joints - it is as supple as thick rubber, yet as strong as steel.
