On the topic of Revised to 2nd ed conversions.....

Unread post by Cardiac »

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.

*************************

Voltaic

Real Name: Clint Heuser
Aliases: None Known
Group Affiliation: Fabricators Incorporated
Occupation: The Fabricator's chief enforcer and bodyguard. Head of Fabricators Elimination Teams operations.

Age: 37 Sex: Male Height: 6ft 6 in. Weight: 295 lbs.

Unusual Physical Characteristic: Stocky Build
Mega Super Abilities: All normal Mega-Abilities, plus Tremendous SDC.
Major Super Abilities: Magnetism, Super Energy Expulsion - Electricity.
Minor Super Abilities: Energy Resistance, Extraordinary PE.

Natural Abilities: Supernatural Strength. Heals at 5 times the normal rate. Fatigues at 1/10 normal rate. Recovers from physically debilitating spells, psionics, drugs, disease, etc., twice as quickly (half duration). Senses are 50% more sensitive than normal. Impervious to Electricity, stun weapons, and magnetism. First 20 points of any energy damage per melee is absorbed, after which he takes only 1/4 damage (Super Energy Expulsion + Energy Resistance). Magnetic sense (Can sense magnetic north, sense the presence of magnetic fields within 1,000 ft, and sense iron within 30ft or up to 15ft underground). Can cause his eyes and/or hands to glow, providing up to 60 watts of light. Can also cover his body with electrical "crackles" to appear more intimidating. Can also fly at speeds of up to 20 mph by using his magnetic powers.

Achilles' Heel: Allergy - Voltaic's Major super abilities will be negated (and his PS reduced to normal levels) if 90% or more of his body is covered in rubber or another synthetic non-conductive, non-porous material.

Combat Training: Hand to Hand: Assassin
Number of Attacks: 8
Combat Bonuses: +7 Initiative, +8 Strike, +9 Automatic Parry, +9 Dodge, +8 Roll with Punch/Fall/Impact, +5 Pull Punch, +29 damage, +4 Disarm.

Super Energy Expulsion - Electricity: Normal Blast - up to 18D6 (2D4x10+30) points of damage. Super Blast (2 attacks) - 1D6x10+15D6+30 (2D6x10+60) damage. Energy Aura (2 attacks): 15D6 (1D8x10+10) damage (60% chance of blindness).

Hand to Hand: Restrained Punch - 2D6+31. Full Strength Punch - 1D4x10+29. Power Punch (2A) - 2D4x10+29. Body Block/Tackle - 1D4x10+29. Crush/Squeeze - 1D4x10+29 per attack. Body Flip/Throw - 1D6x10+29. Karate Kick - 2D4x10+29, Tripping/Leg Hook - knockdown, Wheel Kick - 2D6x10+29.

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.

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+. :D 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.

*********************

Soundwave

Real Name: Zane Carter
Aliases: Zeek Carter, Stuart Dolby, and Soundwave.
Group Affiliation: None.
Occupation: Professional Criminal.

Alignment: Miscreant
Power Category: Hardware - Electronics

Age: 20 Sex: Male Height: 6ft 1 in. Weight: 175 lbs.

Combat Training: Hand to Hand: Martial Arts
Attacks: 5
Combat Bonuses: +2 Initiative, +4 Strike, +6 Automatic Parry, +6 Dodge, +6 Roll with Punch/Fall/Impact, +3 Pull Punch, +3 damage, +2 Disarm.
Saving Throws: +1 vs Psionics, +1 vs Insanity, +1 vs Possession, +1 vs Horror Factor, 35% Charm/Impress.
Other Combat Info: Called knockout/stun - 20. Holds (all). Critical Strike - 18 to 20. Entangle.
Damage: Karate Punch - 2D4+3. Power Punch (2A) - 4D4+3. Body Block/Tackle - 1D4+3. Karate Kick - 2D4+3, Tripping/Leg Hook - knockdown, Snap Kick - 1D6+3, Crecent Cick 2D4+5, Axe Kick 2D6+3. Jump Kick 6D6+3. Flying Jump Kick 4D6+3.

Education Level and Skills: Special Hardware Training + Doctorate
Special Electrical Skills: Hot Wiring (104%), Computer Hacking (96%), Electronics Construction (102%), Evaluate & Diagnose Electrical Systems (88%)
Electrical Skills: Electrical Engineer, Read Sensory Instruments, Surveilance Systems, Optic Systems, Basic Mechanics, Computer Operation, Computer Programming, Radio-Basic, Math-Advanced.
Physical Program: Swimming, Athletics, Acrobatics, Prowl
Vehicle Mechanics Program: Automotive Mechanics, Aircraft Mechanics, Mechanical Engineering.
Criminal Program: Streetwise, Pick Locks, Safecracking, WP Energy Pistol, WP Knife.

Secondary Skills: Hand to Hand Martial Arts, Running, Body Building, Land Navigation, TV & Video, Pilot Water Scooter, Pilot Motorcycle, Language (Spanish), WP Shield, WP Targeting, Pilot Waveboard (Special - counts as 2 secondary - similar to piloting a water scooter - skill can go over 98% to help negate maneuver penalties only)

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.

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).

This time I think I'll try someone that I've never used in any of my campaigns - Nightwalker. As an experiment, I kept his 2 major and added 2 minor (using the unnofficial swap rule - 2 minor for 1 major). I also made him mega to make him more "supernatural."

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*

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.

Invulnerable to fire, smoke & heat (including magic fire/smoke/heat). Can accurately sense air temperature above freezing within 1D6 degrees, as well as the temerature of fire and hot objects.

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.

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!

In this case, the "local skills" are; WP Auto Pistol, WP Automatic Rifle, Radio-Basic, Pilot Automobile, and Language-English. The entity loses these skills if it is ever banished from this dimension.

********


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.

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. :lol:

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.

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.

Weapons: All the weapons made by Fabricators Inc. are at his fingertips, as well as many weapons that aren't. While he enjoys using his fighting ability and strength, he does use "external" weapons when the situation warrants it. He is particularly fond of Laser Rifles (good sniping weapons) and Particle Beam Weaponry (loves the "punch" they have).

Vehicles and Other Equipment: Bellicose has most of the resources of Fabricator's Inc at his fingertips, including electronics, weapons and vehicles of all kinds, and even teleporters. He has often been known to employ jet packs for certain missions, especially if it's a solo one. He also has access to one or two E-Teams, as long as Lazaris or Voltaic approves it. The Fabricator also personally designed Bellicos' costume, providing physical protection and other abilities.

Multi-Optic Goggles: Basically look like swimming goggles but are actually equivalent to a Multi-Optic Helmet (but with all optics ranges halved).

Bellicose's Costume

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. SDC: 200. Recharges at a rate of 3 per minute.

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 has a Radio Detector (for tracking tracer bugs) and a Raddiation Detector.

Tracer Bugs: Housed in the left shoulder pad are 16 small tracer bugs - about the size of a quarter but twice as thick. Both flat sides are magnetic and is coated with an adhesive substance for easy placement.

Breath Mask: The left shoulder pad houses a small mouthpiece that Bellicose can use to breath underwater (or when assaulted by toxic gas). A small pressurized tank and re-breather provides 30 minutes of air.

Locator Chip: Unknown to Bellicose, Damon Lazaris had this installed so he could keep track of Bellicose's whereabouts at all times.
