ca_lazerdwarf Posted October 16, 2014 Posted October 16, 2014 (edited) New idea for space PC, fire-breathing dragon-man  Player Name: ca_lazerdwarf Character Name: Dragonid Power Level: 10 (150/150PP) Trade-Offs: -2 Attack / +2 Damage Unspent Power Points: 0 Progress To Bronze Status: 0/30  In Brief: An alien warrior from a race of fire-breathing dragonlike creatures.  Alternate Identity: Slivar Drash Identity: Public Birthplace: Dragos Occupation: Former Praetorian of the Delaztri Empire Affiliations: Praetorians Family:Disowned Catchphrase: Fires of the Fathers!  Description: Age: 32 Gender: Male Ethnicity: Red Dragonid (Warrior caste) Height: 6' 2" Weight: 280 pounds Eyes: Black Hair: None   A large reptillian looking humanoid with scaly red hide and green horns, wears a gold-colored harnass and belt and often wears a jetpack designed to resemble small wings.  Power Descriptions: The Dragonids are naturally stronger and more resilient than humans and their scaly skin provides them with extra protection. They are a warrior race, taking pride in both their hand to hand combat skills and their fire breath.  Dragonid can breath fire as well as any of his race, either in a short blossom of fire cast out at a single target or a thin burning past multiple opponents. Unique to Slivar Drash is the ability to mentally control fire once he creates it. He can bend it to his will so well that it forms solid objects that burn without heat. He can also will fires (natural or otherwise) to extinguish.  Dragonid also carries a jetpack styled to resemble dragon wings. These provide fast transport in the atmosphere, and can even take him to space and around the solar system. In space, the jetpack can extend a life support field around him to allow him to breath and survive in the vacuum.  History: Silvar Drash was born to the warrior caste of a primitive pre-spaceflight warrior race, but his lack of wings condemned him to the worker class. Even his mutant pyrokinetic abilities did not prevent the warriors from shunning him. He labored for many years in the mines before he got fed up with his mistreatment and decided to reclaim the honor that he felt was his birthright. He found other workers who were unhappy with their plight and convinced them to rise up against their masters in revolution. Though Silvar himself had great talent as a warrior, most of his allies did not and the revolution was brutally crushed. Silvar was captured and sentenced execution. While he waited his fate, representatives of the Delzatri empire visited the planet. The planet's leaders were awed by the technologically advanced visitors and decided to impress them by inviting them to mass executions. Silvar used this opportunity to fight his way to escape his executioners, and the Delzatri found him, offered him freedom and a way off the planet. Silvar gratefully accepted.  After leaving the planet, Silvar quickly proved his worth as a warrior and was trained to join the Praetorians. He took the name Dragonid after the Delzatri word for his people. When the Praetorians finally fell, the Dragonid was captured by the Collector and kept in stasis for thousands of years until awaking recently.  Personality & Motivation: Dragonid is the product of a warrior culture, and he values and respects martial prowess. He feels he has now earned his status as a warrior and must use that status to defend those who are weaker than him. Defending the weak makes him feel strong, and reminds him of the unfair treatment he grew up with.  He enjoys the challenge of a good fight and often overestimates his own abilities.  Powers & Tactics: Dragonid prefers to hang back in battle, breathing fire at his enemies from afar, while he lets his allies engage the enemy up close. He can use his hard fire constructs to create choke points, or to provide additional cover to allies under fire. He's not afraid to get in brawling range when necessary, though, and often prefers to fight weaker opponents this way.  Complications: Not just a scary face: Dragonid is a fearsome looking creature and often creates fear and revulsion where he would like to invoke trust.   Abilities: 6 + 4 + 8 + 0 + 2 + 4 = 24PP Strength: 16 (+3) Dexterity: 14 (+2) Constitution: 18 (+4) Intelligence: 10 (+0) Wisdom: 12 (+1) Charisma: 14 (+2)   Combat: 16 + 12 = 28PP Initiative: +3 Attack: +8 Melee, +8 Ranged Grapple: +11 Defense: +10 (+6 Base, +4 Dodge Focus), +3 Flat-Footed Knockback: -5   Saving Throws: 6 + 7 + 6 = 19PP Toughness: +10/+8 (+4 Con, +4 Protection, +2 Defensive Roll) Fortitude: +10(+4 Con, +6) Reflex: +9 (+2 Dex, +7) Will: +7 (+1 Wis, +6)   Skills: 28R = 7PP Intimidate 12 (+14) Language 2 : Dragonic (Native), Galstandard, Delaztri Notice 8 (+9) Sense Motive 2 (+3) Survival 4 (+5)  Feats: 6PP Defensive Roll 1 Dodge Focus 4 Precise Shot 1  Powers: 25 + 21 + 16 + 4 = 66pp  Fire Breath ( 24pp Array Feats Alternate Power 1 ) [25pp] Base Power Damage 12 (Fire Breath; Extras: Range (ranged)) {24/24}Alternate Power Damage 10 (Sizzling Line; Extras: Area (line, 5x500 ft), Feats: Progression: Increase Area  2(areax5)) {22/24}  Pyrokinesis ( 20pp Array Feats Alternate Power 1 ) [21pp] Base Power Create Object 6 (Hard Fire; Extras: Moveable, Feats: Selective, Tether) {20/20}Alternate Power Nullify 10 ( Extinguish, Any power of type Fire Extras: Duration(Concentration)) {20/20}  Device 4 ( Rocket Pack, Technology; 20pp Container; Flaws: Hard to Lose ) [16pp] Flight 6 (500mph) [12pp]Immunity 6 (Atmosphere Bubble; Environmental Conditions (All), Suffocation(vacuum) ) [6pp]Super-Movement 1 (Space Travel 1) [2pp]   Protection 4 (Scaly Hide)  DC Block  ATTACK      RANGE     SAVE             EFFECT Unarmed     Touch     DC18 Toughness (Staged)   Damage (Physical) Fire Breath   Ranged    DC27 Toughness (Staged)   Damage (Fire) Sizzling Line  Area(line)  DC25 Toughness (Staged)   Damage (Fire) Extinguish    Ranged    DC20 Will          Nullify (Fire)    Totals: Abilities (24) + Combat (28) + Saving Throws (19) + Skills (7) + Feats (6) + Powers (66) - Drawbacks (0) = 150/150 Power Points   Edited October 20, 2014 by ca_lazerdwarf
Thevshi Posted October 18, 2014 Posted October 18, 2014 Okay, got a few comments for you Lazer. Stats and combat look good, though you could possibly afford to shave a couple points of base defense and pick up dodge focus in its place to free up a few points. Totally your call though. Saving throws seem a little light. As he seems more physical, wondering why his Will save is higher than his Fort save? Skill seem alright, though you need to identify what the two additional languages are? (I would suggest probably Delaztri and Galstandard) On your powers, the base fire breath damage looks fine, though I hope you realize that Improved Range does not change the maximum range of the power. (That is you have a base range increment of 600 feet with the Improved Range 2, but the maximum range for the power is still just 1,200 feet). Also, for the Line area damage, the line is only 500 feet long (base length is rank x10 feet, or 100 feet, x5 for Progression increase equals 500 feet). Also, at the totals down at the bottom, you mistakenly list the number of skill points you have (28) instead of the 7 pp you spent on skills.
ca_lazerdwarf Posted October 18, 2014 Author Posted October 18, 2014 Saved some points with Dodge Focus, and dropping the increased range for now to beef up his saves a little, though not sure where the benchmark for those is. Still need to flash out his background.
Thevshi Posted October 18, 2014 Posted October 18, 2014 Looks better now, though the Will save might be a bit low still, but nothing you have to change.
