I'm considering a character for a PBEM game that's a little on the dark and gritty side. No, not Punisher and his lethal friends but maybe more mature themes...
If you want to look a little more backward for offense ideas then there are several good examples from the pulps. Especially Doc Savage given his "crime ...
Shades of Clockwork Orange! You know I would not have thought of Doc Savage But I see some opportunities when you reminded me of his behavior adjustment...
... I don't know about CSI, but I would be very worried about this... {You may have more information to work with than I do, of course} "Dark and gritty" means...
Well you could just beat them senseless and don't forget, Doc didn't bother with legalities where his crime college was concerned, it was in point of fact ...
Abraham Frank wrote: "Well you could just beat them senseless" I think Richard was looking ofr a Scientist/Detective, not a simple Brawler! To be sure, a lot...
One thing you could do is make him like Dex from Sky captain and the world of tomorrow and Columbo. Also you should work the Doc Savage neuro surgery angle as...
... Dex was a pulp era inventor, he made an airplane/submarine a long with other neat stuff. He wasn't the best fighter but really smart and it sounds like you...
Dex, at least from the novelization of Sky Captain, would be just about the entire character concept, right there... And, he'd be another lab rat sort, who...
You wrote: ">Didn't see Sky Captain. Can you tell me how he might be used >in my frame work?" I don't think he would, though I love the character... "Dex was a...
I didn't read the book so I won't argue that point in the least. As to the neuro surgery, being viewed as a public service, here recently to guys busted into...
I will be starting a Champions campaign soon and am looking for a few players to get it started. It's a fairly traditional setting in most ways, set about 50...
First, a beginning character isn't going to have the influence with the Authorities that Doc Savage did... And, more than the authorities, Richard would have...
Probably not the only word you've misspelled... Unless your intro really means that we're all 'table' individuals, rather than 'stable' ones! :-> Don't worry...
Richard, how about doing a 'Vibron' clone... Device that grants him a Speed-related Elemental Control? Give him +2 Speed, Basic Invisibility, +10" Running,...
{Re: Vibron clone} First, because it allows you to do a number of useful things, on the cheap (you wanted desolidification, which would be doable)... Second,...
And if so, what did/do you think of it? I've never used it and am checking out the site now but would be interested in feedback from anyone whose tried it...

There was an opening in a CHAMPS PBEM game that wanted 500 pt characters and I started to wrack my brain for ideas. I was a little excited since most of the...
I'm not 100% happy with this draft. I'd like to hear from you pros. I had higher defenses and skill levels in my head but it didn't work out. Base Points:...
Gidday Richard I like the character except for one thing; no hardened defenses 2x. This can really hose you! Other than that he seems pretty well made to me....
Lewis, I couldn't find my 5th Ed. I think I left it at a friend's house. So I whipped out my trusty and rusty 4th Ed. for the finishing touches. If you wanted...
... Yeah... and none of those were examples of good character design, either! {Sorry it took me so long to reply, by the way...) ... Not likely! Oh, sure,...
... Skill levels can be added with XP, but defenses help you get to the point where you recieve the XP in one piece! <SNIP> ... I take it you haven't made it...
... defenses 2x. This can really hose you! As with the Lack of Weakness, I wouldn't worry about any kind of Hardened Defenses... An 18d6 EB is going to do a...
