> Arnold J. Dolenz wanted to be a superhero ever since he was a little kid. With big ears and a goofy grin and a not very athletic build, he knew he could never really be a caped crusader with years of training. When his mutant powers did manifest, he was overjoyed. He had the power of MAGNETISM! He could shift a ton and a half of mass with ease, and hurl chunks of metal with the force of a small rocket launcher. The trouble was, when it came time to fight crime, he found himself suddenly in the middle of the park during a chase. His sole saving grace was that he was able to disarm the criminals of their guns, but they came after him with tree branches and lead pipes (which he learned were not that keenly effected by magnetic fields).

Beaten to within an inch of his life, he was rescued by Morning Knight at the last minute. Daryl saw a kindred spirit in Arnold, and had the superhuman medic Remedy restore Arnold to full health. It was then that Arnold realized that powers weren't everything. Morning Knight was a living example of that. Flaming fists gave Daryl the ability to hang with superhumanly tough opponents, but his skills and training were necessary to keep him from being labelled a murderer.

Arnold began his intensive training, and bolstered his powers with equipment, namely his namesake Mace, a heavy duty metal club, and his chainmail. Now, mentally and physically equipped to handle the worst the world could throw at him, Mace, the Magnetic Ace takes to the night to battle the forces of evil.

> Mace utilizes his iron mace and magnetic powers for multiple effects. He has grown so skilled with the combination of his mace as a blast that hits with the power of a rocket launcher, or in hand to hand combat with even more ferocious force. The newer version of Mace has a natural built-in compass, as well as the ability to detect radio frequencies, magnetic fields and ferrous metals. Mace's iron club is considered a device, but has no actual attack traits inherent in it (though the "feature" is actually simply equipment - iron mace). When used, his magnetism grants it a structural integrity able to hit with power on scale with most paragons and powerhouses. With range, he's not as brutally powerful, but he is still quite skillful, and can use his mace indirectly, able to smack opponents from behind and by surprise. He also, being a comic nerd, emulates some old Thor tricks, like spinning his iron club so fast, he produces a powerful whirlwind, or smash the ground with enough force to hurl people from their feet.

> Movement-wise, the current Mace is a "hopper" without his epynomous club. He can clear 500 feet, and this lets him chase down almost all traffic without breaking a sweat. By emulating Thor, he can engage in four mile leaps (as well as beating almost any vehicle on four wheels). As Ace, the Silver Squire, (Morning Knight's sidekick), he generally did the jump and stick to walls.

> As Mace is a personal identification character, I've taken two favorite people to give him his character's name. Mickey Dolenz and Chris Barrie's wonderfully nuanced Arnold Judas Rimmer supply this lovable goof who won't quite give up his name. From Mickey, he has the mischevious energy. From Rimmer, he gets the depth of a bit of self-loathing (okay a lot) that he's not quite good enough to be a superhero, needing to have been trained by someone better, and needing tricks to give his natural abilities the versatility he needs to survive as a superhero.

> The new take on Mace comes from focusing on the fact that Dolenz can actually do most of his stunts with any old mass of metal as long as it's smaller than his "Move Object" weight. The mace itself provides a focus for his alternate Damage effects (in game terms, it's only a +2 club), as well as allowing him to jump further and pull off the Groundstrike and the Whirlwind.

This version is SPECIFICALLY one I'd take to a new game, as he's a plain old "starting level" character.

Helpful Powersets:Insect Control

Post by Skaramine »

A discussion on Summoners elsewhere got me thinking about some characters who are particularly useful outside of merely "punch bad guy hard enough to set off car alarms in three counties."

So, I'm going to start putting up odd little powersets for the heck of it.

So, for your Insect Controlling Shrinker guy, a lot of people use a form of Summoning.

How about something a little bit cleaner?

Insect Control.

Powers
Summoned Insect Swarm
. . Deadly Focused Swarm: Damage 6 (DC 21; Extended Range 3, Increased Range: ranged, Indirect 3: any point in fixed direction or fixed point in any direction, Penetrating, Secondary Effect; Limited: Can be dispelled as per Minion rules)
. . Helpful Swarm: Burst Area Move Object 4 (800 lbs.; Burst Area 2: 60 feet radius sphere, DC 14, Extended Range 3, Indirect 3: any point in fixed direction or fixed point in any direction; Limited: Can be dispelled as per minion rules)
. . Friends in Low Places: Remote Sensing 10 (Affects: Visual Senses, Range: 4 miles; Quirk: Only where Insects Can Survive)
. . Stinging Swarm: Affliction 9 (1st degree: Vulnerable, 2nd degree: Defenseless, 3rd degree: Incapacitated, Resisted by: Fortitude, DC 19; Increased Range: ranged, Secondary Effect, Split 2: 3 targets; Custom: Can be dispelled as per Minion rules)

Offense
Deadly Focused Swarm: Damage 6, +0 (DC 21)
Helpful Swarm: Burst Area Move Object 4 (DC 14)
Stinging Swarm: Affliction 9, +0 (DC Fort 19)

Re: The New Nook Rises!

Post by Skaramine »

So, the other day, I opened up my GM's Kit and Hero Lab and the Dice roller and put together something just random for a start.

Somewhere along the way with my "Gadgeteer" I was missing 4-5 points (and didn't want to be arsed to look for them.)

And then I saw that the Displacer field looked ALMOST exactly like the way some folks have designed the "Cap-Alike" shield - with Dodge and Parry plus Protection instead of Deflect. So, I erased the Displacer Field Belt, and threw in some more points in order to make a "fighting" shield, and threw the extra points left over into turning up the speed on his Magnetic Levitation Boots.

I finally had actually rolled the "Combat booster" set I wanted to build with as well, but there were no real "ranged" attacks.

If he's a gadgeteer, why NOT build a sort of rocket-propelled shield that can bounce off ten heads and fly back to his hand?

-> Right now, I have a recolored black and silver 3 3/4 Iron Man figure with a Winter Soldier head (with the respirator also silver) carrying a Cap Shield as the base look for him. Long hair and goggles. I'm digging it. Leaves things open for some visual enhancements with some XP.

-> The same technology which boosts his strength and make his boot jets so quick formed the basis for giving him such a dangerous Shield, in both close quarters damage - A repulsory Magnetic Levitation Shield doing the hitting, not the shield itself, and to fly fast and deadly - to the point of hitting like an anti-tank weapon. Again, it's the field, not the shield generating it, which propels it so that it strikes so hard. He went with that kind of power for his shield because, while he might not be ethically willing to slice a human in half with his shield, he can certainly turn a drug dealer's $50,000 murdered out SUV into a pile of trash to send a message.

-> Of course, this guy was TOTALLY influenced by Captain America (or his gaming universe's closest Espy), but he went with black and silver for his costume motif, just to show a little more menace to the street level hoods he's initially going to butt heads with. I'm thinking maybe his shield could be black and silver... or all deadly black with a silver ring at the edge. I'mma see how I can paint it later.

So, sirs, what you think?

I also stole my own "mook sweeping" Shapable Area Damage from my Silver Sentinel. Because Mace loves pulling a Captain America as well as a Thor.

I come from another world, a world where you humans are just one of many thinking, talking species. My name and rank are Maziah Hrr'koon, Captain of the Okkarron Imperial Guard.

And I'll have to say, I made it through the ranks by earning every victory and allocade.

On our world, the humans and the Okkarrons were at war, two Empires that hated each other across racial divides. Being among the elite of my army, I was sent on missions that taught me the truth about all the sentient people of our world - we were just puppets being jerked like puppets on strings, fed lies to feed bigotry. Humans were no more evil than my kind, except that our leaders had fostered enough hatred to make atrocities against those who were different to be no crime.

Nothing good or bad lasts forever. I and some of my fellow elite as well as a group of brave humans devoted to ending our senseless wars found the true master, the one inciting all this violence as a means of mass sacrifice to the darkest of gods. Our troupe suffered greatly, but I fought my way to him, and struck him with the Hammer of Love, crushing his skull to a squishy pulp.

His dying action was to abduct us all to an endless voice where I floated for a time I could not measure. Only when another sorcerer summoned a cadre of fearsome warriors he called "orcs" was I summoned here. Apparently, that's what you humans call us.

The thugs with whoom I was dragged to Earth were beasts of the lowest sort, as was the fell necromancer whose only redeeming quality was an inept summoning spell. With a mighty heave, I smote him with the Lovehammer as brightly clad warriors stopped the others.

These warriors, called super heroes, did not look upon me with prejudice. They accepted me.

My name is Maziah Hrr'koon. My title is Lovehammer. And my job is defender of my adopted world.


- Jab's comments about less than Swimsuit Issue bodies on superheroines struck a chord with me. I have my Lovehammer, and she is here. (I'll transfer the Heromachine image tomorrow night.)

- Technically, Maziah is more troll or ogre, so the summoner's spell was TRULY sloppy, much like his face was after she slugged him good and hard.

- Maziah is my idea of Captain AmericOrc combined with Hank Pym when he was stuck at 10 feet tall as Goliath, physically impressive, highly skilled, and wielding a neat weapon. She's one part Weapon Master, one part Super Soldier, with the combined mass and height of both. As such, she can manipulate her Caps easily, all the while swinging a big magic hammer and shrugging off damage with her magical armor. She can sweep through mooks like they were a bowl of pistachios (as Abbey once said, you can't eat just one), and also give a Powerhouse some serious bruising.

- Maziah hasn't learned many modern day technical skills, but she can read e-mail, warm up a mug of coffee, and knows which door to open on the fridge to get ice or a cold beer. (She loves cold beer, much better than the warmed over, fermented crap on her world. Even if humans do get skittish around her, she'll still side with humanity because of the beer.)

- She does well either alone or with a team, and being a former elite military officer, she can prove to be the cornerstone of a good team, boosting and improving. Note the Knowledge (Tactics) score. Alone, she can hold her own very well (especially with her feints - both regular and Startle), but working with a team, she's almost as magical as her big indestructible hammer.

- Quantum from the Big Blue Book Champions. A straighforward energy manipulator with flight, and some unusual super strength due to the nature of buying up her Recovery and Stun, I suppose.

- I originally put her Fighting at 8 because OCV was for every fighting bit, close or ranged. But, she had no combat advantages, so, I dropped her fighting to add some. (Including Intimidation so she can startle thugs.) But now, she can "Haymaker" her Quantum Bolts as necessary. She's an aggressive fighter, and tough as leather. Personally, I'd have kept her fighting up there and given Quantum a close attack like Pulsar's power punch, but this was intended to be a more "true" translation, and despite that massive strength, we don't see Quantum slugging someone hard enough to send teeth flying, or if she does, it's against a mook, not giving Ogre a right-hook.

- I love Quantum. Solitaire is gorgeous, but Quantum just had ATTITUDE! She was angry, she was rough and tough, and she had a reason to be as hard on street thugs as she was likely to blast Mechanon drones into disparate cogs and springs. People call her "the Lucy Van Pelt" of the spandex set, but Lucy was just a bully. When Quantum showed up to clobber you, it was because your sorry ass EARNED A WHUPPIN'!

- And once more, 250 PP in Champions provides a nice balanced PL10.

I'm a little confused why you don't use her individual illustration rather than one of the team as a whole, but well done all the same.

I looked for one. I'm going to have to do some fan art maybe.

Back in the day when I lost the luster of a cosmic Powerboy/Luminator, I "downgraded" ol' Loomie into The Gryphon. He had light powers, but they only worked at close range (laser/flame claws) or were a blazing, dazzling effect, a la Jubillee's best light shows. He was a "street" level hero, tough enough to survive being hit by a car, but not bullet proof nor invulnerable.

Thanks to a discussion over in the Jabverse builds, I decided to write this version up in Herolab, and created him in Fabrica De Herois 2014. 

The wings were more bright light, something I carried over into Dragonstar.

If you look closely, he's a mimic with 80 points of totem powers and a few skills plugged into him.

At 3200lbs of lifting, he's still the "unstoppable rampaging horror" that a Werewolf by Night or Frankenstein's Monster could be, but faced with a truly powerful foe, he's going to have to move quick and avoid being hit while hit and running all over the place.

Neat! I still find it funny that we ALL have "Gryphons" out there. So your guy is more of a low-end scrapper-type, mixed with PL 10 Blaster/Affliction stuff?

Yup, except he seems to either not trust his distance accuracy, or he's so aggressive that he uses laser claws.
