I think, though I'm still really new to this system, that I would be in to try and help make some fan-created events and PDFs. It's such a gorgeous system, and it captures the feel of comic adventures and superheroics. A Secret Invasion, Age of Apocalypse, House of M, and even a Secret Wars event could be awesome. So why not make them ourselves?

Well I like the look of him. If you are concerned that he's a little too powerful (which honestly, given his joke status, it's hard to say) knock a die off. Or maybe even make him a mob of d4s. I don't know if you are supposed to be able to do that, but it might work because seriously, they're just bees.

Hey, I was fiddling around with designing characters, and I was wondering if anyone had any ideas that might help me. I'm designing a character around "Zoom," the Flash villain, who effectively has super speed by virtue of *existing outside of, and ahead of, normal time. Part of that is the ability to perceive events of the future, but there aren't any powers that do that, or any characters with "precognition" that I can use as a base in any of the books, from what I can tell. Other than Spider-Man's spider sense, that is. The important thing about this character is that they aren't actually any faster than a normal (athletic) person, so I don't want to just copy from Speed or whatever. The fact that Cable, Scarlet Witch, and Quicksilver aren't included in these books is really starting to bug me. *Comic books!

I think most of it is covered by superhuman reflexes, and "Spider-Senses" for non-specific "something bad is going to happen in in two seconds if I don't move fast" kind of stuff. I guess I'm mostly looking for non-combat applications of that sort of brief foresight power. Maybe something like sorcery, where the character can create "foreknowledge" assets, or something? Obviously specifics and major details about the probable future would have to be Watcher controlled, but this could be a way for the character to give helpful boosts to the rest of the party with their power. Edit: The Dr. Manhattan thing seems pretty powerful. I might try to scale it back, and see how it works. I also like the idea of an auto-win (re)action SFX for using the power to actively change the future. I think if I tack a price tag onto it, it could be a nice "Nova Blast" kind of thing for the character to use, when "Future Senses" just isn't enough.

Okay, so taking your suggestions into consideration, I've developed these two preliminary power sets representing the "super speed" and the "precognition" aspects of the character. I'm trying to achieve a double edged sword kind of balance between using the powers to their full potential, and keeping the character mentally and emotionally stable, hence the rather harsh limits. (It's very disorienting to exist outside of time, you know!) Let me know what you think. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Faster than Time Itself Superhuman Speed(sort of!) d10, Superhuman Reflexes(kind of!) d10, Invisibility(effectively!) d10 SFX: Punch Everything! Target multiple opponents. Add a d6 and keep an additional effect die for each additional target of this attack. SFX: 11 Seconds Worth. Against a single target, step up or double a Superhuman Speed die. Remove the highest rolling die and use three dice for your total. SFX: You're Too Slow! Use two or more Faster than Time Itself powers in a single dice pool at -1 step for each additional power. Limit: Gotta Go fast! If Invisibility is used in a dice pool that does not also include Superhuman Speed, step up Mental or Emotional stress. Limit: Strung Out in all Directions. While stressed out, asleep, or unconscious, shutdown Faster than Time Itself. Recover Faster than Time Itself when you recover that stress or wake up. If you take Mental or Emotional trauma, shutdown Faster than Time Itself until you recover that trauma. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Out of and Across Time Temporal Resistance d10, Future Senses d6, Future Control d6. SFX: Spoilers. Spend 1 PP to add Future Senses (or step up by +1 if already in your pool) and reroll all dice on an action or reaction. SFX: Fight the Future. When suffering from Mental or Emotional stress, spend 1 PP to automatically succeed on a reaction roll. Shut down Out of and Across Time, until all stress is recovered. SFX: I Know What Happens Next. When you succeed at a reaction roll against an opponent, spend 1 PP to create a "Future Knowledge" asset equal to the size of the opponent's effect die. This asset counts as an Out of and Across Time die for you, even when used in an ally's dice pool. Limit: Blurring Out. If an action or reaction including and Out of and Across Time power trait fails, step up Mental or Emotional stress. Limit: Impossible Girl. Add Temporal Resistance die to the opposing roll when others try to recover your stress.

I too was thinking of a thread revival thing. I think we need a big, awesome, group project or something. So here's what I'm thinking: The game books have a bunch of villain datafiles, mostly haphazardly tossed in, and featuring some big names, and a lot of extremely esoteric ones, while omitting some MAJOR players in the villain world (Magneto, for instance.) Why don't we throw together a goon-built "fiend folio" of sorts? We can group villains by associations (Sinister Syndicate, Masters of Evil, etc) and use that as a starting point to stat up some ready to use super-jerks, and super-jerk teams, collect them all in one easy to navigate PDF, and have a nice resource for folks to use? I feel like that would be easy enough to do, and probably a lot of fun.

jivjov posted:I'd be game for that. Are we keeping everything 616-compliant though? Most of my marvel familiarity is from the Cinematic Universe films and the Ultimates line. I don't know too much about Ultimates myself, other than to say there are certainly significant differences between the two. I would think going for the most basic (as in, general) presentation for any given character would be ideal, but having alternate versions based off the film or Ultimates universe stuff (or making those their own PDF collections?) would work. I guess the idea would be; if the character has essentially the same powers and abilities in 616 and Ultimates, then stat them out as simply as possible. Watchers can always modify them to suit their needs. If they are significantly different, ability wise, then we could either present an alternate datafile, or a way to modify the datafile to match that Universe's version of the character. Maybe in a side box? I think the biggest differences for most characters would be history/personality things, and those would be largely flavor and Distinction changes, right? Solomonic posted:I'm always up to help out, although you probably want to check the wiki before coming up with anything. I think that this could be a good resource to get ideas from, definitely. A lot of these entries seem to be placeholders, and more than a few are... questionable, I think. But we can use the power of feedback to iron out the things that don't seem right, and hopefully fill some of these big ol' gaps. Astus posted:Well, I created a custom Mysterio datafile for my PbP game, with the help of Solomonic and some spanish Mysterio datafile he found. I think I may have gone overboard with it, however. Well, what do you think was overboard about it? Having fought the guy, I can say he felt about right to me (hard to pin down, kept pulling tricks out of thin air to slow our progress, etc,) but maybe I have too high an opinion of the guy. We can certainly work on it, if people are willing (and I'm happy to see that they are!) And, since Astus started us off with Mysterio, how about we start by pulling together a few more of the Sinister Six, as a jump off point. I'll make a short "Most Wanted" list, and anyone who has ideas can try their hand at making a datafile. We can fine tune and discuss the submissions, and then compile them into a little PDF or something. And of course, submissions not from the list are still welcome. It's more a start point than anything.  S.H.I.E.L.D. Most Wanted List #1: The Sinister SixSix of Spider-Man's classic villains, banded together by Doc Ock to take the Web-Slinger down for good. Though the Six eventually grew into a full-on Syndicate, and the membership has changed over the years as villains came and went, the original line-up have been some of Spidey's most persistent adversaries. APB On: Doctor Octopus Awaiting Trial Kraven the Hunter Captured by INS, arranging deportation Mysterio In custody, undergoing questioning. Sandman Surrounded, with no hope of escape.

Solomonic posted:Doctor Octopus (Otto Octavius) My two cents, he should probably be a Team d8 (lead the Six and the MoE), Solo d6, Buddy d4, and I feel like he needs Enhanced Reflexes d10 (those arms are preternaturally aware) maybe Enhanced Speed (pretty fast on those things,) and an Energy Blast of some sort (he does build lasers and crap into them.) It seems like this might make his one powerset pretty bloated, but he's a fairly topheavy character, I think. Opinions? GimpInBlack posted:Looks pretty good, but you're right on missing important things: You forgot to give him Affiliation dice, and his power set doesn't have a Limit. I'd maybe give him some kind of EMP weakness or something that steps up emotional stress when he argues with his arms. I like it! Hits all the high notes, and since the Pride is a separate powerset, it can be removed if desired, or possibly even used as a separate encounter. He's got the strength and skill to tangle with the likes of Cap or Spidey, and enough special flare to feel like Kraven to me. ibntumart posted:Here's my contribution (and here's the inspiration): I've loved this dude ever since my angsty mid-teens when I considered changing my name to (a slightly differently spelled version of) this, and googled it just out of curiosity.

Against multiple targets, for each additional target add a d6 and keep an additional effect die. SFX: Smother. Add d6 to your dice pool for an attack action and step back the highest die in your pool by –1. Step up physical stress inflicted or complications created by +1. SFX: Reforming. Spend d6 from the doom pool to recover physical stress and step back your physical trauma by -1. Limit: Dust Busted. Step up physical stress from water and vacuum-based effects and step up or add a d6 to the doom pool. Specialties: Crime Expert, Menace Expert.

I should probably mention that when I compile these into a PDF (which I'm not entirely certain how to do nicely, just yet) I'm going to be retroactively reducing the affiliation die by a step, just to keep them in line with the Watcher datafiles from the book. Consistency, and all.

Astus posted:Well, if he can get an illusion-based complication on his opponents, then he ends up as a sort of "mini" Large-Scale Threat, thanks to his Fake Out SFX. I might also have a biased opinion on his strength because I had a d12 in the doom pool at the time, and I never used it in any of his actions that were used to create illusion complication, because his Convincing Illusions SFX would allow him to one-shot a player. That is a fair point. My thoughts on making it less harsh: Reduce the 3d8 Duplicates to 3d6 (or even d4?) and/or reduce Illusions to d8. And probably nix the Convincing Illusions SFX. Certainly he should have plenty of hobbling power, and a tendency to stick around longer than expected, but Mysterio is a nuisance, not a powerhouse. He should trip up the heroes, certainly, but you are right, he shouldn't be able to one-shot them. What do you think? Also, here's everyone's favorite flying green grampa: Vulture! pre:Vulture (Adrian Toomes) Affiliations: Solo [D6], Buddy [D8], Team [D10] Distinctions: Expert Engineer Oft Underestimated Grim Grandfather Magnetic Flight Harness: Enhanced Reflexes d8, Flight d8, Enhanced Strength d8, Razor Feathers d6.

Shutdown Magnetic Flight Harness and step up or add d6 to the doom pool. Spend d6 from the doom pool to recover. Specialties: Acrobatic Expert, Tech Expert, Science Expert, Crime Expert. It wouldn't be too difficult to change this to the James Natale version. He'd just need some sort of corrosive vomit power, and distinction/affiliation changes.

Add d6 and step up the effect die when using Boomerangs to inflict physical stress against a single target. Limit: Gear. Shutdown Outback Arsenal and add a d6 to the doom pool. Spend d6 from the doom pool to recover. Specialties: Combat Expert, Crime Expert, I'd like to ask the thread for it's opinions, thoughts, and critiques of any and all of these villain datafiles. Do they seem fair and accurate? Would you change anything? If I don't get responses (other than my own thoughts) I'll assume they are satisfactory to those concerned. And if anyone feels like playtesting a few of these guys, that'd be swell. Sometimes things look fine on paper, but don't really work in practice. Let us know how they work out if you do give them a try! Let's get some discussion of the pros and cons going, super-friends! I'd also like to ask the creators for permission to collect them into a PDF, as originally proposed, so we can make a "Menace Manual" at some point. I don't want to assume that just because you ran with my project idea that you consented to actually being involved with it. Edit: Made the recommended changes to Rhino, and nixed Boomerang's non-weapons powerset. He doesn't need it. Danger-Pumpkin fucked around with this message at 00:05 on Jun 13, 2013 |

S.H.I.E.L.D. Most Wanted List #2: The Brotherhood of (Evil) Mutants Terrorists? Freedom Fighters? Mutant Supremacists? Or heroes to the downtrodden and marginalized? Magneto's Brotherhood, with or without his leadership, have stood against human and mutant alike, engaging in both philosophical and physical disputes the X-Men and Avengers on numerous occasions. So long as mankind hates and fears mutants, the Brotherhood will be there to strike back, and to fight for Homo Superior's proper place as the dominant species on Earth.

First, I love the Versatile Weaponry SFX, and will probably have to borrow that idea for future use (it's so simple that it's genius!) Second, have you considered splitting the powers into two, or possibly even three power sets? In addition to making him deadlier by virtue of increased pool potential, and versatility, it would definitely help to de-clutter his datafile. It's a lot to take in as a solid block of awesome powers! Edit: I'm also not sure why he has Crime Master, but maybe it's something I just don't know about the character?

Glad you like it. I spent way too long trying to think of good references to name everything after. Just out of curiosity, who would you re-skin him as? Or was that just in general?

Basically, if you randomly generate a character, and end up with the "Uncommon Powers" theme, you're better off re-rolling. Unless you want to try and explain a guy who's powers are getting really big, turning invisible, and commanding plant life.

Oh sure, it's great the first time. But "Invisible-Giant-Plant Man" gets really old after the fifth time you've rolled him. Same with "The Intangible-Animal-Stretcher."

I'm not a DC fanatic, so I can't really say, though I am very excited to see some of these guys. Are you collecting these to share with the community, or are they more for personal use?
