Doktor'd! Dirge He has 160PP now, so he is PL11. Please amend the "Power Level" on his sheet as follows: Power Level: 11 (Built as PL10) 1PP to spend. Please spend 1PP to add the following AP to his Electromagnetic Control array: Altenate Power: [24 + 16 = 40PP] (Additional Descriptors: Electromagnetic Strike, Improvised Metal Weapons) Damage 9 (Extras: Linked [Trip]; Feats: Extended Reach [+5ft], Improved Critical 2 [18-20], Knockback 10 [Effective Damage 25], Mighty, Variable Descriptor [Energy and Electrical, or Magnetic Force-Propelled Metal Weapons and Bludgeoning, Piercing, and/or Slashing damage]) [24PP] Trip 15 (Extras: Knockback, Linked [Damage]; Flaws: Range [Touch]; Feats: Improved Throw) [16PP] Here are the lines to add to his attack block: Strike (Lightning) Touch DC30 Toughness (Staged) Damage (Energy)* Str/Dex*** vs +15 Prone Strike (Metal) Touch DC30 Toughness (Staged) Damage (Physical)* Str/Dex*** vs +15 Prone The spacing should line up. And please add this to the notes at the bottom of the block: ***Lower of the two.

Medusa Brainstorming #2 Once you settle on the petrification effect, then you have to decide what else she can do, which myths and games you want to pull from. The snakes growing out of her head are often depicted as venomous. That's simple enough. Most exotic attack effects will work for venom. Damage (Extras: Alternate Save [Fortitude]) [2PP/rank] Drain (Strength, Dexterity, or Constitution) [1PP/rank] Drain (All Abilities At Once; Flaws: Limited [Physical Abilities: Str, Dex, Con]) [2PP/rank] Nauseate [2PP/rank] Paralyze [2PP/rank] Stun [2PP/rank] Since the victim is probably getting bitten many times in rapid succession, the Autofire extra would fit. Secondary Effect is always a good extra for poison powers. If she grapples people (see below), and you can afford to buy her Enhanced Strength and Super-Strength separately from her attack array, then you could add the Requires Grapple flaw to the venom effect. If you use Drain, keep in mind that people will recover one point every round. The Slow Fade feat and/or the Total Fade extra can slow that down. Sometimes she has corrosive acid for blood. You could do this as a rank 1 flavor thing, like the split-the-difference petrification build in Part 1, or you could spend a ton of points to make it something that could really hurt someone. Note: Even the rank 1 version has utility. Inanimate objects don't recover from Drained Toughness or Damage until they're repaired, so you could eventually bleed on even a steel (Toughness 10) object enough to break it. Note: This is the "Corrosion" power from the books, but broken down by individual effect so you can see how it's constructed. Acid Blood [7PP] Drain Toughness 1 (Extras: Action 3 [Reaction], Affects Objects, Linked [Damage]; Flaws: Uncontrolled) [4PP] Damage 1 (Extras: Action 3 [Reaction], Linked [Drain]; Flaws: Uncontrolled) [3PP] Acid Blood [70PP] Drain Toughness 10 (Extras: Action 3 [Reaction], Affects Objects, Linked [Damage]; Flaws: Uncontrolled) [40PP] Damage 10 (Extras: Action 3 [Reaction], Linked [Drain]; Flaws: Uncontrolled) [30PP] The assumption here is that you have to suffer a Bruised or Injured condition to trigger the Reaction. It's Uncontrolled and Reaction because it just happens when you get hurt. You don't do anything to directly activate the effect. Technically you could use the Aura extra for the same price, but I hate UP's version of Aura. I think Reaction works better (and so did the 3E devs!). Objects won't recover until they're repaired. People will recover one point of Toughness every round. The Slow Fade feat and/or the Total Fade extra can slow that down. Acid effects often have the Incurable power feat, since regenerators in most games can't heal fast from acid damage. Add the 1PP "Lethal" drawback to the Damage effect for something truly nasty. Sometimes her blood is poisonous instead of acidic. In that case, take whatever attack effect you chose for the snake venom, and build it the same way as the Acid Blood: Nauseate 1/10 (Extras: Action 3 [Reaction]; Flaws: Uncontrolled) [4/40PP] You need to decide how much of a snake-person she is. Does she have tough scales? Good descriptor for Protection. Is she also resistant to poison: Good descriptors for Enhanced Constitution. She might have Immunity (Poison) as well. Is she a snake-centaur, with a big tail instead of legs? Or does she have humanoid legs that can "fuse" into a snake tail? (Maybe this involves "shedding".) Either way, good descriptor for a rank or two of Speed, Super-Movement (Slithering), Swimming with Enhanced Skills (Swim), either Super-Movement (Wall-Crawling) or Enhanced Skills (Climb), and a Snare effect in her attack array. Snare 10 (Extras: Engulf; Feats: Chokehold) [21PP] If you can crush your victim like a boa constrictor, then consider adding the Constricting extra. Since, by default, Constricting only inflicts Damage equal to half your power rank, I would buy 2 ranks of it, which I assume would upgrade that to your full power rank. Note, however, that extras are not optional, so if you give the Snare effect +Constricting, then the damage always happens to anyone you Snare, and you have to let them go to stop inflicting the damage. Alternately, you could just take Enhanced Strength, Super-Strength, and Improved Grapple or Additional Limbs, and grapple people. One rank of Super-Senses can give you the Radius extra on your default Normal Vision, if she can see through the snake eyes. A lot of reptiles can sense heat, so Super-Senses 1 (Infra-Vision) is a good pick. Increase the utility by adding the Radius and/or Tracking extras. They also tend to have really good sense of smell, so the Acute, Extended, and Tracking Super-Senses extras on the default Normal Olfactory Sense work, as well as Olfactory-type Danger Sense and/or Uncanny Dodge. Some depictions give them wings, so Flight 3 (50MPH, 500ft per Move Action; Drawbacks: Power Loss [Wings]) [5PP] could apply. Some depictions give her claws, which is just Damage (Feats: Mighty), maybe with the Improved Critical feat and/or the Lethal drawback thrown in. She's often depicted using a bow and arrows. Personally, I wouldn't recommend this, because you'd have to put that in a Device, so you'd have to pay for those effects separately from her other attack effects. I'm a big fan of arraying all the attacks together. However, you could forgo the Device discount entirely, fold the bow-and-arrow effects into her attack array, and then have the ability to disarm her (and deprive her of those Alternate Powers) be a Complication instead. If you do use a bow, consider arrows that have been previously poisoned with her blood. Most reptilian characters have some Regeneration ranks, so that's a natural fit. If you're making an actual mythological figure, then Immunity (Aging; Starvation/Thirst) could apply. The gorgons, like many supernatural creatures, are immortal in some source material. You could also make her a full-fledged mystic with an array of magic spells she can cast in addition to her "natural" abilities. If she's truly reptilian, than a Vulnerability to Cold effects and/or a Weakness to cold environments would work, as Drawbacks or as Complications.

Medusa Brainstorming #1 Gorgons and how to build them came up in the Discord the other day, and it got me thinking. First up, the big thing, the petrification. You need to choose whether this is something she consciously does, or something that just happens when someone looks at her face. If she does it consciously, then she has to take an action to do it, but she doesn't always have to do it, it's cheaper, and you can fold it into an array. If it just happens, then it's an expensive stand-alone power, and you probably won't have room on your sheet for any other powers. Then you need to choose effects and descriptors. Do you use Transform, or Paralyze? Is it actually petrification, or just, say, a paralytic effect that makes the victim look super-pale? The cost is about the same either way. You also need to decide if it's going to be a Fortitude effect or a Will effect. That depends on your descriptors, your vision. Is it something you fight off with your body/health, or your mind/willpower? I would include the Subtle power feat, because while it's obvious to the person who looked at her and got petrified what happened, other observers may not know why the person suddenly turned to stone. Here's a few different ways to build it: Note: You can bring the cost down on the active versions by applying the Distracting flaw, and/or by flawing the action down to Full. Paralyze 10 (Extras: Action 3 [Reaction], Area [Visual Perception]; Flaws: Uncontrolled; Feats: Subtle) [51PP] Paralyze 10 (Extras: Range 2 [Perception]; Flaws: Sense-Dependent [Visual]; Feats: Subtle) [31PP] Either one of those will wear off in a few rounds, a couple minutes at the most, unless you increase the duration. Transform 10 (Flesh To Stone; Extras: Action 3 [Reaction], Area [Visual Perception], Duration [Continuous, Lasting]; Flaws: Range [Touch], Uncontrolled; Feats: Subtle) [61PP] Transform 10 (Flesh To Stone; Extras: Duration [Continuous, Lasting], Range [Perception]; Flaws: Sense-Dependent [Visual]; Feats: Subtle) [41PP] Because they're Continuous (Lasting) duration effects, neither of these will wear off until you choose to turn them off. And since the Reaction Area ones are Uncontrolled, you can't choose to turn them off. They'll turn off only if the GM decides they do, for whatever reason, or if someone counters/Nullifies them. You could also split the difference, by having a very low-rank always-on effect that happens whenever someone looks at her, and then a more powerful conscious "focusing" of it that she can do as an attack. Have one of these as a stand-alone, which even low-PL minions will usually save against, and is more of a flavor thing than anything else: Paralyze 1 (Extras: Action 3 [Reaction], Area [Visual Perception]; Flaws: Uncontrolled; Feats: Subtle) [6PP] Transform 1 (Flesh To Stone; Extras: Action 3 [Reaction], Area [Visual Perception], Duration [Continuous, Lasting]; Flaws: Range [Touch], Uncontrolled; Feats: Subtle) [7PP] And then this as an AP in an attack array: Paralyze 10 (Extras: Range 2 [Perception]; Flaws: Sense-Dependent [Visual]; Feats: Subtle) [31PP] Transform 10 (Flesh To Stone; Extras: Duration [Continuous, Lasting], Range [Perception]; Flaws: Sense-Dependent [Visual]; Feats: Subtle) [41PP]

Octoman's Notice check: 34.

Depending on how "Century For A Dame" progresses, Strix might be Raven-adjacent soon, in a Huntress black sheep who only gets called in when things are good and truly pear-shaped sort of way.

Octoman "Man, I dunno why she didn't just lemme carry her. I LITERALLY got like TEN extra arms, and each ONE of 'em can lift TEN Turtle-Girls, AND her Turtlecycle." Octoman raised an eyebrow and stared silently for a few moments. Then he grinned, nodded, and pointed twin finger-guns at Thunderbird. "I LIKE IT!" If Octoman was even slightly tired from the hike, he didn't show it. He wasn't visibly sweating, or even breathing hard. His powers clearly included superhuman stamina in addition to superhuman olfactory sensation. "We're DEFINITELY goin' the right way. STRONG scent trail. Dude needs to upgrade from that dollar-store deodorant." "What's up?" He pointed at his own white eyes. "I got built-in binoculars in these things. What're YOU seein' that I'M no-OHHH, right, spooky stuff!" He shouted over his shoulder to the other teens. "HEADS UP PEEPS, IT'S ABOUT TA GET FREAKY!"

No, it isn't. Immovable does add to your KB resistance, yes. But so does Impervious Toughness. When you calculate your KB resistance, you halve non-Impervious Toughness, but you don't halve Impervious Toughness. I really, really don't think any Immunity beyond environmental heat (which comes with Life Support) is necessary for atmospheric re-entry. We have a lot of PCs who can fly up into space and back down again, and, to my knowledge, no one has ever made an issue of it for any of them.

Life Support includes environmental radiation, so you don't need to buy that separately. And I assume that the environmental heat Immunity that Life Support includes allows you to fly into and out of the atmosphere without taking damage; it would be weird if all the sample paragon builds didn't actually work. So I don't think you need the fire damage Immunity either. You need to write which skills Skill Mastery applies to next to the feat. Bluff and Diplomacy are good candidates for Skill Mastery. Gather Info and Knowledge aren't. You generally want a skill you'd actually be using while being "threatened" or in a high-stakes situation. DokA wrote a good article on that in this forum. That being said, none of those skill bonuses are high enough that you'd want to take 10, so I don't think this character benefits from Skill Mastery at all. Those Notice and Sense Motive bonuses are so low I'm wondering why you bothered investing any ranks there at all. You should write down all the powers that Density gives you. Density gives you Super-Strength, which affects your grapple bonus and your carry capacity. Density gives you Impervious to go with those free Protection ranks. You should note that in your Toughness save, and that also affects your knockback resistance. Why PL8 and not PL10? Why another teenager?

Octoman Ben texted back. Left side. Got it. Then he slid his phone back into his own thighmeat, where it was quickly absorbed. He made seemingly random hand gestures while talking, pointing alternately at himself and everyone around him. "Hey, so, nice ta meetcha, sweet pool, tasty grub, but I need to, uh...take care of something. Bee-arr-bee, or tee-tee-why-ell, depends on how it...yeah." He grabbed a pair of fresh towels on his way out of the room. Once he had ducked into the other room, he glanced around and whispered while drying himself off. "Hey Mia, you here yet?"

There's no game mechanic for that geas that Santa Muerte just imposed on herself. I might add it as a Complication on her sheet, though.

Santa Muerte Always reliable, Atzi made sure to relay the guard's story to Ximena as soon as she appeared at the bookstore. As she listened to the description, Ximena struggled to keep her composure. She preferred to maintain a facade of inflappability, even with her closest friend. Excitement and fear in equal amounts threatened to leak through the cracks in that facade. It could be...have I finally found...it sounds just like...don't get your hopes up...not the first time you thought you...still, it's uncanny... That night, on the roof of one of the warehouses overlooking the Bridgepoint docks, a glowing green spectral sickle sliced through the flesh of space-time itself and parted the skin separating the layers of the Multiverse like curtains. A woman in an ornate black dress with a crimson cloak and a skull mask walked through those curtains. She crouched down and raked the docks with her gaze from one end to the other, searching for any magical radiation which might reveal a supernatural creature, or at least the trail left by one. Once she had taken in everything she could from one vantage point, she ducked back into the Underworlds, emerging on another roof, and then another. She stuck to the shadows, which did not obscure her own sight in the slightest, doing her best to keep out of the sight of the people below her.

Santa Muerte The woman in black and red ate as the others spoke, seemingly paying more attention to her noodles than to her fellow superheroes. Appearances, however, could be deceiving. She was listening to every word. Or reading every word, in Waverider's case. She cocked her head slightly, raised an eyebrow at Justice almost imperceptibly, let her mouth slip into a wry half-smile, then glanced back at Protectron. "As I said, taboo." She turned back to Justice. "Some of my neighbors have taken to calling me 'Santa Muerte'. It is as good a name as any." She turned back down to her mostly-empty bowl and made a couple of hand gestures over it while delivering another Ancient Atlantean incantation. "<Cleanse.>" The bowl was momentarily engulfed in green fire. When the flames vanished, the bowl and fork were both completely clean and dry. Then she made another gesture with a single hand, snapped her fingers, and commanded "<Hands without flesh, attend me.>". A pair of translucent glowing green hands appeared in mid-air in front of her. She nodded down to her bowl, then toward the counter. The hands lifted the bowl into the air and deposited it in front of the register before disappearing. "If the legitimate acquisition of one of these suits truly is beyond all of your combined resources, then before you resort to petty larceny, you could simply ask someone who does own one if they would let you examine it. The wealthy are perpetual children. They love to show off their shiny new toys. The type of person with both the inclination and the capital required to make such a purchase likely also wishes to be seen as a peer of the 'superhero community'. Surely at least one of you possesses enough social cachet that they would crave your attention and approval. Barring that, the manufacturers themselves may very well roll out the red carpet for one of you, in the hopes of securing your public endorsement of their product." "Excuse me. Mictlan is a place where I can be contacted, but I am not volunteering it as a meeting place. My presence there protects the employees and residents more than it endangers them. I could not say the same for all of yours." Santa Muerte stood up from her table. Green flames erupted from her eyes. "In the protection of this world and its people, I will render unto you whatever aid you require that I am able to provide." The flames evaporated, though her irises remained unnaturally green. "The oath is given. If I break it, there will be consequences."

I'm consolidating my crap here so I stop cluttering up the forum with new threads. BRAINSTORMING Daredevil Emma Frost Medusa #1 Medusa #2 Thrude (PL11 rebuild) The White Widow (potential Strix reboot/replacement) ENDGAME BUILDS (PL15 250PP) Dirge (PL12) Mister Strix (PL10) Octoman (PL10) Persephone (PL10) Santa Muerte (PL12) Thrude (PL12)

Dirge's recovery bonus is also +8, so with even +1 from a Medicine check he auto-succeeds as well (assuming he actually does take the time to rest...).

Dirge: 0 IC posts = 0PP [None] Mister Strix: 0 IC posts = 0PP [None] Octoman: 2 IC posts = 1PP Ancient Enemies (1) Phone A Friend (1) Persephone: 0 IC posts = 0PP [None] Santa Muerte: 2 IC posts = 1PP Calling All Heroes (1) Shadow Man (1)

I thought Octoman was already using most of his arms to help hold up the cages.

What do you mean exactly by "divert some of your attention"?

Octoman's Notice check: 32.

Octoman Octoman had turned away from Thunderbird just in time to miss the boy's warning, but fortunately, he smelled the ozone in the air and caught the flash in the corner of his eye just in time to duck and let the lightning bolt pass over him and slam into Fear-Master. He laughed and held a "thumbs-up" gesture at Thunderbird. "YEAH! TEAMWORK! I LINE 'EM UP, YOU KNOCK 'EM DOWN!" His joy was short-lived, however, as The Sensational Cephalopod bobbed and weaved, narrowly avoiding each swing of the lizard-man's mighty claws. "WHOA! HELLO! Don't suppose! We can! Talk this over? I know a! Great! Anger management class! At the community center! Free coffee! I bet you take it black, right? I like mine with INK TO THE FACE!" He dropped his palms open and launched another pair of ink globules at the lizard-man's eyes.
