MM3e: Unconventional Heroes Vol. 2 [OOC]

[hero4hire]

Any help converting Psiren would be helpful, once more I'm playing a system I don't know...

Post me a link to your Icons character and I will help you with a conversion.

Nevermind I found her pretty easily. Since you rolled pretty well (Invulnerability 7!) and are confined to a PL 8/120pp build I did the best I could to capture the essentials of what she can do.

The Hero Lab right up looks pretty good, if not ability score heavy (to create a literal translation of the ICON character). As is, the only sticky part is the Unarmed offense since the attack bonus breaks the the book's "50% disparity" trade off guideline. But then I'm not sure where would be a good place to place that one skill point if you brought the unarmed attack down to +12.

You could make her Fighting a point lower and Strength a point higher to satisfy the PL caps and the rule. Though just my humble opinion such rules are in place should not be 'hard & fast' for characters that aren't abusive.
Unarmed, +13 (DC 18) doesn't hurt much. But as I said thats just my opinion.

Hope I helped some. At the very least give a framework to tinker with.

True, which is why I mentioned it being a "guide line" rather then a rule and also why I said "if you brought down the bonus to 12" rather then just flat out saying "to bring it down to 12".

Of course, if it was an attack that was linked to a cumulative progressive affliction that ends with "dying" then I think there would be a problem with the 50% disparity breach. But as it stands with a mundane unarmed attack, I could deal with sticky.

Hope I helped some. At the very least give a framework to tinker with.

I think you helped a lot. It's always good to have someone as knowledgeable in M&M as you are sticking around. So if you have enough room on your plate, feel free to toss down a character idea.

 

[Relique du Madde]

I just have to say, now that Volume 1 is quickly approaching the epilogue post, I find myself thinking about changing some of my plans for Volume 2 (ie de-emphasizing several ideas, and emphasizing others). I'm mostly doing this because some tangent ideas I recently had when brainstorming actually might end up being more messed up and could turn out to become funn(i)er.


With that said...

COMING (VERY) SOON:

Unconventional Heroes Issue 2: Fallen Angels.​

 

[Relique du Madde]

A head's up, I've posted the Rogues Gallery. So place the updated/edited character sheets there.

All of the character will receive:
+1 Hero Point (permanent)
+1 Hero Point (Temporary)

I will also post the volume 2 thread as soon as possible.

 

[Relique du Madde]

Issue 2 has been posted

 

[Bold or Stupid]

Sorry for being quite, life has been hectic, happy to go with hero4hire's version, as long as those numbers keep her psychic bruiser stylings.

 

[Relique du Madde]

Hero4Hire's version does keep her psychic bruiser styling. Due to her attack bonus, I do see her using power attack a lot since it would be easy for her to lots of game that way.
