angrydurf Posted August 21, 2011 Posted August 21, 2011 I know I know you'd think I'm antagonistic enough on my own! This is a collection of some common classic comic book style antagonists. Some are Villains and henchmen some minions. Some could be either! Background isn't supplied as these are more plug and play sets of stats to insert into a thread without having to go through the effort of scratch building a custom villain for a one shot fight. Take a basic outline here slap on appropriate descriptors and they can fit any number of storylines. (These are designed as NPCs their point totals may be higher or lower than the bottom of their PL range. PLs in this case are mostly in regards to what caps they hit rather than point totals.) Villains and Henchmen: These are designed not to be henchmen and to be used either singularly or in small groups. PL-13 Mad Scientist PL-12 Femme Fatale/Swashbuckler PL -10 Mad Science Monster PL-8 Novice Mystic Minions!: These are designed to work in groups as minions. For certain cases they could be run as villains or henchmen of course as well. PL-10 Robots PL-8 Robots Demons PL-4 Robots Demons
angrydurf Posted August 21, 2011 Author Posted August 21, 2011 Sneaky, Dexterous, lovely and absolutely deadly. This is a foe that works for any number of situations. Most classically this sort of Femme Fatale is a henchwoman to a plot by SHADOW or a similar organization, possibly ripe to be turned to the cause of good for a handsome enough hero, or perhaps she just wants to make you think that? Certainly could be presented on her own as well as a deadly assassin, or in a pinch could be used for your classic cat burglar. Just as easy to make this a swashbuckling and charming man with a silver tongue and a quick blade. Likewise one could take them down to a darker path as a shadowy assassin figure but losing out on the wit and charm of all that bluff etc would be a waste. At PL 13 one of these is a good challenge for a group of PL tens and of course one on one many a hero of PL 13-14 would be challenged solo. Excellent opportunity for a "two men enter" scenario if you have a wide split of PLs let the big guy or gal take on this deadly viper while the rest take on other challenges or stop the launch countdown on the mcguffin. Need to vary it up have the magic blade be a cyber implant laser weapon, or a hellfire related demonic mark, Could just as easily call the weapon a whip or pair of daggers, don't like fencing have them use some Kendo stylings, Just switch up her Feats to fit the weapon of choice This is a master of a single weapon/style and oriented on agility and wit over brawn and intimidation. It's all in what you describe.

angrydurf Posted August 21, 2011 Author Posted August 21, 2011 Basically this is your big bruiser mad scientist creation. A good threat for a group of PL 7-8s or maybe a mad scientist has several to challenge some PL 10+. Variations would be to have the lightning generation be acid projection, flame throwers or frickin lasers! Could just as easily be a robot instead of a cyber undead mix it up some!

angrydurf Posted August 21, 2011 Author Posted August 21, 2011 Are they clockwork automata? Alien killbots? Doc Otakus latest malign plot? They could be any of the above. These are a basic but versatile set of powerful robot minions. Even a few of these would be a challenge for PL 7-10s and in numbers with tactics they could be a real challenge for even higher PLs Aid and Combine attack are your friend when an army of robots has to face down big heroes. They have a morph effect allowing them to pass as human to cursory examination wither through a disguise, Holographic projection, or synthskin (bonus if you need more of them Bystanders can suddenly become reinforcements!). Vary up the weapon descriptors to taste they could shoot lightning as clockworks, or maybe they are kicking it old school with slugthrowers for more Dakka. As an added bonus they can self destruct to make sure those meddling heroes can't trace their origin. Unlike the Mad Science Creation above these guys are not really independently intelligent. They are well programmed with extensive combat protocols but have no actual minds behind them this is what makes them so well suited as minions rather than henchmen. Added bonus they are "Acceptable targets"! A small group of these could tax a PL10 or two and in numbers they are good fodder for PL 12-13.

angrydurf Posted August 21, 2011 Author Posted August 21, 2011 Very Basic PL 8 fighting Robots. Fit descriptors to fit their creator, Lasers, Gravtic Weapons, Lightning, fire? anything goes!

angrydurf Posted August 21, 2011 Author Posted August 21, 2011 Flying Demons for all your infernal needs. Could shake things up a bit and make their Hellfire be shadow related or vary it up a bit more and make them like gargoyles that breath a stream of acid.

angrydurf Posted August 21, 2011 Author Posted August 21, 2011 Like the demons above these could be summoned infernals or wandering imps.

angrydurf Posted August 21, 2011 Author Posted August 21, 2011 And they called him MAD! AHAHAHAHHA. Basic super genius gone 'wrong'. Beyond a staggering intellect his powers are primarily rooted in three devices a Worn defensive field generator providing armor and defense (and a few immunities), a Hand held weapon with assorted damaging effects, and a worn set og goggles or headgear that give a bundle of super senses. He's PL 13 and hits his caps on a few of his attacks but many are under capped. This is intentional to make him a varied challenge. His device could produce any number of effects from electric to particle beams to pure force. His defenses are set to be a forcefield style set up but could just as easily be sealed armor. His big Weakness is magic. Being a non believer he hasn't really accounted for it in his plans you see and thus it effects him more strongly than most things. That weakness could be swapped out to almost any descriptor from magnetism to heat. On his own he's not much of a threat really. But he's intended to have minions (See the assorted robots) and even on his own can stand toe to toe with a PL 13 for awhile so long as they don't exploit his vulnerability. If the Heroes can exploit his vulnerability he's weaker by a good bit and is a good challenge for PL 8-10. On the flip side with his inventor feat you can slap a few upgrades on his gear or give him a big powerful device tailored against the team coming after him. This is a character that is best used as the heroes finally track him to his lair rather than out in the open.

angrydurf Posted August 21, 2011 Author Posted August 21, 2011 This is a fun one. Your basic novice Mystic that has stumbled upon a little bit of 'Dark Power'. He has a small suite of spells (which may look familiar) and can summon demons (Use the minions above for example). With ritualist and artificer he can be buffed up a bit by giving him a couple good rituals or Magic devices. But at the core he's just not that powerful. More than likely he's the apprentice of the real villain. Against a group of eve PL 7's he doesn't stand much of a chance but you could have three of these as a cabal of some sort to challenge such groups. Also works as low level cult leader/member. Could also be an ally for the heroes that has gotten in over his head and now need thier help (Summoned a demon he couldn't control for instance?)
