Re: Vanguard Academy IC: Feels Like The First Time

Violet HP: 3 | CND: Unhurt | Room 110, Byrne House | Delta Class Stormdancer calls out to Violet. "Looks like the others are fighting a couple of the robots." She points to where Skew, Mesh, Sery Cmok, Mack and Chris are fighting one of the Excelsior robots and the other Defiant. It's at ...

Re: Vanguard Academy OOC Thread

If mobility is still a problem after this dumb ol' flying robot goes down, Violet can probably airlift people. As long as they don't weigh more than 25 tons all together, anyway!

Violet HP: 3 | CND: Unhurt, -2 to Dodge and Parry | Room 110, Byrne House | Delta Class Defiant A (Violer, Indigo & Stormdancer): Despite all of the sparks and smoke leaking from the damaged areas on it, the Defiant robot somehow manages to stay in the air and targets Stormdancer with its energ...

Re: Jab’s Builds! (Imperiex! Alexander Luthor! The Anti-Monitor!)

He looks kind of like the Immortal in Invincible. Honestly, it's a good look, at least in the suit. The big spiked collar is... interesting, but you'd need to think of a reason for it. It's not very practical-looking, you know?

Re: Vanguard Academy OOC Thread

Lockheed is going to give Violet such a complex when she meets her.

Re: White Lotus

-White Lotus took her name from some Superman characters of years past. She was trained by the Warlords of Okaara (same as Starfire). She had a "malleable Auric force field" (which is used to create solid force around her, enhancing her punches and durability) and is half-Asian, half-blac...

Re: Vanguard Academy OOC Thread

Indigo was shooting at Defiant A, wasn't she? That's moved a little ways away from where it was over the safe building, but we're hittin' it and we're zappin' it.

Re: Jab’s Builds! (Maxima! Ultraman! Amazo! The Ravers! Doomsday!)

I think one big mark against Doomsday is that . . . well, he's just kind of random. I think a mindless monster can make for a fine antagonist, but you need to give it some kind of hook. Even the monsters in Godzilla often had a unique origin or purpose. Doomsday is just some random experiment by so...

Re: Marvel and DC Heavy Hitters (Omni-Man)

Frankly, Mr. Fantastic is one of the heaviest hitters in comics, in the sense that he can push a button and make any ridiculous thing happen at any moment. He's such a heavy hitter that it's difficult to write a Fantastic Four story that doesn't revolve entirely around him.

Re: Stretching the Ranks & Measures Table

This isn't just good for low power level games - it's good for high power level games, too, if you want the power levels to be more significant. What I mean by that is that M&M is designed to make it possible for Hawkeye and Thor to be on the same team, and that generally fits the comics and vid...

Re: Deflect, Lifting Strength and Throwing Distance

This is technically a house rule, but I personally interpret the strength rank as the maximum a character can press over their heads, Marvel handbook style. A deadlift is a rank higher, and strength is treated as a rank or two lower for calculating throwing distance. It just makes everything fit tog...

Re: Jab’s Builds! (Galactic Golem! Dan Turpin! N.R.G.-X! Power Girl!)

I liked Power Girl's company in the Palmiotti/Conner series. I would have liked to see them focus on that more.

Re: Marvel and DC Heavy Hitters (Dr. Doom, Dr. Destroyer of Champions RPG))

I could certainly be wrong, but it's been my understanding that in Hero System one die of Killing damage is equivalent to three dice of Normal damage in price and effect.

Re: Jab's Power Profiles: Quickness! Super-Speed! Teleport!

Prowlers and Paragons has an interesting approach to movement powers: running, flight, leaping, and teleportation all cost the same amount per rank, but leaping starts at half your Might (Strength) rank, running starts at rank 3, and flight and teleportation start at 0 since... people don't do those...
