*mumbles something about danged kids having it easy* (My Spring Break would've been last week, if University faculty/staff got the same one the students get.)

Archeville's eyes widened as he saw the bolt of shadow slam into Dryad, and quickly rose up to his feet and re-activated his force field. As Dryad's mood was shifting to blind rage, she could just make out his face contorting from a look of soft compassion to one more stony determination. "Keira, Star" he called out, though still focusing on Dryad, "zhings are not as zhey seem. This voman is a victim of mind control. She is not in control of her actions, und should be restrained mit a minimum of harm." He then levitated up and began flying towards one of the DJ stations, "If you two can hold her, I should be able to find a vay to temporarily break zhe control und give her back her mind... zhough, even zhen, she may still prove difficult."

I'm waiting to see how badly Dryad's been hurt by Kizzy's blast before making my next post.

I'm waiting to see how badly Dryad's been hurt by Kizzy's blast before making my next post.

My worst is a tie between the time my appendix burst while in the 6th grade (had been inflamed for several months, local doc said the excruciating stomach pain was "just nerves")... ... and my first day back at school after my appendectomy, when I tripped and, in an attempt to catch myself to make sure I didn't fall on my incision*, wound up breaking my right wrist. (Fortunately I'm a lefty.) (The guy in the hospital room down the hall from mine had it far worse, he'd been partially run over by a steamroller and over a third of his bones had been crushed.) * Incision, not stitches: due to a combination of my excessive girth making it difficult to sew me up, and the need to drain out the toxins that had leaked out of my infected burst appendix, I was left open and they packed the wound with gauze which had to be changed daily. Luckily, my mom's a nurse, so she was more than capable of doing this at home.

I love that band! I once (half-)tried making a character based on their song "Super Powers." :harley:

Welcome! Can we know a bit more about the character? Like, why his creator made him? How he's able to Boost himself? (Descriptors are important.) That'd give us a direction we can direct our suggestions towards. Also, the English major in me urges me to point out that it's "uneventful," not "un inventfal" :twisted: First thing to jump out at me is his Boost All Traits 30 (Flaw: Personal; PFs: Slow Fade 10). That's "points fade at the rate of 1 per year". I can't imagine anyone allowing that (the high ranks, the All Traits aspect, or the Slow Fade 10 thing). Also, you cannot Boost Permanent effects, so he cannot boost his Immunity, Protection or Regeneration. (Though these could be changed to Sustained for a net cost change of 0, but even then I personally would want you to pre-define what Immunities he'd gain when he boosts it; he couldn't gain whatever Immunities he wanted with each Boosting.) That aside, you're breaking the Attack/Damage and Defense/Toughness caps. At PL 10, your Attack Bonus + Attack Damage must be equal to or lesser than (PL x 2), or 20 in your case. With his full boost up, his Attack Bonus is +10, but his Damage is +11, for a total of +21. Same goes for Defense Bonus + Toughness Save, they must also be equal to or less than (PL x 2). At full Boost, his Defense is +10 but his Toughness would be +26 (11 from Con, 16 from Protection), for a total of +36. Also, I don't believe you can have more Impervious than you have Toughness. I.e., you cannot have "Toughness 10 (Impervious 15)". Some of those skills he won't be able to use, as some are Trained only, meaning you must have at least 1 rank in it (or the Jack-of-All-Trades feat) to even attempt using it. Lastly, House Rules in effect for this specific site include not allowing Slow Fade on Boost "without a significant character concept justification," and that Duplication is limited to creating minions with a PL of no more than (Your PL / 2), or PL 5 for your case. Fun Note: With Elongation 31, he could stretch up to 25,000,000,000 feet (4,734,848 miles)! Stretching this full length, however, would take 16,129,032 move actions, or 8,064,516 full rounds, or 560 days.

After being reminded of The Transporter the other night (while in a convo with a friend re: bad movies), I got an idea for a PL 6-ish villain. The Driver. Normal Mook Crook who [somehow - demonic pact? bionics?] gained the ability to be a superhumanly good driver, and hires himself out as a getaway driver to other crooks. Stats largely identical to the standard Criminal from the back of the Core M&M book, but also add Enhanced Dex (only while in an automobile), Enhanced Skill (Drive), Enhanced Skill (Knowledge/Technology; only pertaining to automobiles), and Quickness (limited to automobile maintenance), and ranks in the Equipment feat for a sweet ride. Maybe some other car-centric powers, too. Had another idea for a low-level character, whose main powers is Create Object # (Continuous; Innate, Precise, Subtle; Limited to only re-creating objects that had been inside a closed container). He pulls out a discarded pizza box from a dumpster, opens it up, it's got the original pizza inside it, fresh as the moment it was first put in. Same goes for an empty computer box. Problem is, he's doing this by unconsciously pulling the objects out of the past, wreaking havoc with the timestream. Also toying with an idea for a "Zoom Baby" (from the M&M Annual -- child of a woman who took Zoom while pregnant, mutating the baby to have a permanently amped-up metabolism, making them age faster; they're unable to cope rationally with others b/c everyone else is too slow, and their constant hunger makes some turn to cannibalism). And an idea for a vibration-based character (gained his powers from an accident involving an experimental hyper-tech jackhammer).

You're welcome Yup, I at both both EN*World and the Atomic Think Tank, and the HERO System boards (though ATT far more than the other two). And, yes, shame Living Supers seems to be dying Oh, you may want to re-check the link for your attack roll, it doesn't seem to be going anywhere. (I think it'll be fixed if you delete the "d20+10=22" from the very end of the URL.)
