[QUOTE="buzzard, post: 401329, member: 3003"] I am considering joining a GURPS Supers campaign. I have been told that the characters will be made with a 500 point buy. Ok I have a couple fo questions. First: How powerful is 500 points? A good response would be either in terms of comic books, or MEGS points. I have some feel for Champions characters, so you could describe it in those terms if more convenient. Second: If I wanted to model a character that I'm fond of from Heroes Unlimited (yes, I played that game - Oh the Shame!), how possible is it? The character has Invulnerability (likely to be scaled down in Gurps since HU had ridiculous invulnerability rules) Extraordinary Physical Prowess (dex) Extraordinary Physical Strength Extraordinary Speed (rather like super speed light max run of 280 MPH and one extra attack per round) He has to change forms to activate his powers (which I imagine can give a disadvantage bonus) Is something effective along these lines obtainable in a 500 point buy? Thanks for any help. I need consider whether I wish to shell out for the books. buzzard [/QUOTE]
