OK that’s intriguing but I have a few questions. First what do you mean when you say spectral? Secondly what do you mean by interact? Does it mean you can’t talk to people ? You can’t touch people or things? Can things touch you? You can’t carry things?

The thing about the characters in all the versions is they do to some extent bend the rules, but they are also modeling what is in the comics. There’s no chargen document as to how the Hulk was built and he was given body armor and resistances. At the end of the day the body armor requirement...

Although to be fair, in the chain of protections from Resistance to Body Armor to Force Firld, BA is a good general protection; great against physical and worse against more exotic types. But you never have to activate or maintain it. It just is. So a slight agility hit is a small price. And it...

Ok while we wait tglassy’s characters, a reminder we are T-3days until game start! And here a few nit picks: Duece Traveler- Id love to see a bit of background of your character. Also you don’t have to pay double for Body Transformation. So that gives you 40 points to play with. When you spend...

Sure!

Ok I misread an earlier post. If we do just the MCU with all the Fox stuff rumor, we could substitute Inhuman for Mutant on the Popularity chart. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I would say generally speaking mutants probably aren’t popular in the MCU. Public knowledge means it’s well known not just family members. So you could be mutant but are hiding it. In the end Popularity isn’t really a major game breaker, so use it to fit your character. Also I really love the...

As for activity, that’s up to you. I’d just follow the Popularity checklist and see what you want. I love the idea of using the Cinematic Universe plus our own touches, so you can be brand new, established with a secret identity or not.

First if anyone is struggling with Popularity we can talk through it. So while you are thinking of an origin, alter ego ( if any), friends or contacts, we can pull something from the Icons rpg. Attached is a table for Universe building. Everyone can roll on the table four times and develop...

Yeah this is generally the tricky part. I don’t want to get caught up in the minutiae of canon Marvel or punish those who aren’t current up to date readers of comics. So, I generally want to take the method of the Cinematic Universe. What matters is that your characters are the stars of your...

Also, also everyone can go ahead and calculate their popularity as per the rules. IIRC Popularity begins at 50 and is adjusted by characteristics of your background, which should help flesh out a bit of your backstory. Apart from a few minors adjustments, the PCs look pretty good. Again it’s...

Yeah shapeshifting is the same as two powers in the basic book. Body Transformation doesn’t have and asterisk. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Welcome aboard Deuce Traveler! The concept looks interesting. But why did body transformation cost double? Anyway, when I get off-road I’ll look at study closer. I’m still shooting to start on Jan 1, so feel free to flesh any alter egos, friends or colleagues and/or your relationships with each...

I’m the same way. I usually go for punchers.

Yeah you are right about that. But again it reflects the fact that the default chargen is random. So one could exploit this. I’ve seen other point buy systems that go to great lengths put in safeties to stop min maxing but really I don’t think it matters too much. The funny thing is FASERIP...

Yeah origins and alter egos should be free IMHO. Buying it just seems ridiculous to since like I said they’re just good for setting secondary story plots and earning karma. In regards to body armor, I think the intention was that some people who use by Armor are usually just the big clubbers...

Newcomers I think. We’ll do Popularity by the book a bit later. Also as Moon Sapphire did, you can choose friends, contacts or an alter ego for free. I feel those are more narrative elements and tools to get karma or enhance story. 1-4 contacts/allies should be enough. Sent from my iPhone...

We’re in the Marvel Universe, you’ll run into other heroes and villains ( more the villains I’m sure). As for power level you guys are on the high end Avenger/Inhuman level. Or in a more modern context, like the Ultimates. But it seems like you guys have a lot of ranks in powers. Your...
