Not if the Minions take out the threat first ;) And if you've got Horde, you can summon your 5 minions round after round. Which, to me, seems only as bad as summoning 5 Minions each with General Area Attacks, or Autofire Attacks. Easy enough to add another House Rule to Duplicate/Summon...

Not quite. First thought was to do Enhanced Skills 4 (Intimidate +16 [+15 due to PL limits), Enhanced Feats 2 (Fascinate [Intimidate], Set-Up or Set-Up, Startle), scare them into submission/startle them to give his teammates a better chance... but I realized that could very easily backfire...

Seems to me Targeted Area Attacks are no worse than having Duplicate or Summon Minion and having your dupes/summoned minions make lots of attack rolls. You're making more attack rolls (or making one attack roll and comparing it to the Defense of each target in the Area), and the targets won't...

In the Mastermind's Manual, it introduced several "Skill Challenges." Challenges reflect a capable character’s ability to perform some tasks with superior panache and efficiency. They allow heroes to achieve greater results by making already difficult checks harder. To take a Challenge, you...

Archeville uses his communicator to send a message out to all his teammates, "Barrett, get Zenji out of there! Jester, fall back and give cover their escape! If you can pull hostages out as you come, do so. Jones, status report?" He then set to work on 'MacGyver'-ing something he hopes will...

I'd think a Dazzle can Crit, since I think anything that requires an attack roll has a chance to hit on a Natural 20, not just Damage save things like Blast or Strike. But, that's just me, and it's ultimately up to ye GM.

Archeville winces as he hears the doors burst in by Zenji's power. "Well, as my history professor once said, Interessierendes nichts geschieht, bis jemand dummes etwas tut -- 'nothing interesting ever happens until someone does something unwise'." The super-scientist turned to his two...

I was sure Master Plan lasted 3 rounds total, so it'd be +3, +2, +1? Don't have book with me at the moment, sadly. Archeville nods at Lt. Perry's words, "that's what we were told. Can you tell us what sort of powers this Super has? Our intel says he screamed a lot, implying some manner of...

Before disembarking, and in response to Zenji's reply, Archeville says "'Lift stuff,' eh? Then I want your priority to be to get any hostages out of there, and if needed, put up barriers between the robber and anyone he targets so no one gets injured. Once the hostages are clear, then engage...

Master Plan Roll (1d20+10) Roll 19, +10 = 29!!! :D With a result of 25+, Archeville and his allies gain a bonus on all skill checks and attack rolls once the encounter starts, assuming they follow the plan Archeville laid out. The bonus is +3 for the first round, +2 for the second, and +1...

There is already a caster of sorts (The Amazing Mr. Jones -- more a mentalist than a true spellcaster, it seems, cloaking it all in Stage Magic trickery), and a wielder of mystic items (Zenshi, the Antiquarian). I don't think there is a bona fide spell-slinger anywhere on the roster, though.

As the player of one of the Mad Super-Scientists on the Resolutes, I like it, too! 'Course, you should be careful & specific in what you ask for. "You asked to be able to soar like a hawk, and that's the ability I gave you! The beak and feathers are a... minor side-effect of the treatment." ;)

Okay, he'l just spend time working on his Master Plan (let me know when you want me to make his roll for that), and hope he can find something at the bank itself he can use to kit-bash something.

"Good, then hopefully there won't be much property damage to clean up," Archeville mused. Archeville then turned to the Amazing Mister Jones. "This is mein idea. Herr Jones, you say you can do surveillance, and that's what I want you to do. If you can do so while in the relative safety of...

Archeville shook Jack's hand, "Guten tag again, Herr Barrett. Biokinesis, hrm? That is fascinating... und extremely useful. Are your abilities limited to a range of touch, or can you affect others at a distance?" It was clear the wheels were already turning in his head, as if he were...

Archeville waits for the Major to brief them on who/what they'll be dealing with, and begins to formulate the broadest of plans in his mind. I wonder if there'll be equipment in the Vigilante I can use... we'll need surveillance before moving in, see exactly what we're up against... a...

"Fascinating..." Dr. Archeville remarks as he enters the elevator.

Dr. Archeville flew in via his gravimetric belt, his labcoat flapping in the breeze. He stopped suddenly and regarded the young officer as he moved to one of the chairs. "Errr... guten tag, fraulein. I am Herr Doktor Viktor Archeville. Forgive mein impertinence, but... are you not a bit...

Dr. Archeville regards Zenshi with a smirk, "Indeed, ze famed British author Sir Arthur C. Clarke did indeed say 'Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from Magic.' But it's in knowing how they work that is the difference. Of the few mages I've encountered in mein...

Yeah, there's no way Archeville can make that Sense Motive check ;) "Ah, stage magic," Archevile says between bites, "I had considered for a time to be a sort of "Professional De-Bunker" of such things, to try and work out just how those tricks are done and reveal them to the public... but...
