Message: <blockquote data-quote="Krizzel" data-source="post: 577954" data-attributes="member: 9062">I'm creating a character for a d20 Modern / 4CtF superhero game over on the IC forum, and I need some help.  First my original idea for the character:The Supreme IntellectA scientist who developed extreme use of memory and speed of calculations, and through some immense stress (he won't reveal the exact process) broke through into a higher plane of ability. His powers are all driven by pure thought alone (not telepathy or telekinesis). For example, he might have a 'teleportation' power that works by him being able to recognize and conceive of higher dimensions (with the same ease that we see three or less dimensions), calculate their mathematics, and 'step through' them. Teleportation is one thing I thought of for him, some kind of 'thought shield' that deflects attacks was another. Mostly I want him to have powers like being able to calculate faster than computers, and other consequences of having super-powered intelligence. I see him as a Smart/FieldScientist/Hero.And here's what I came up with after getting 4CtF and putting the pieces together:Supreme Intellect=================Smart 3 / Hero 2 / Field Scientist 1Occupation: Academic (computer use, know(phys), research)STR 8 0DEX 12 4CON 10 2INT 27 16 +1 4th levelWIS 12 4CHA 14 6Hit Dice: 3d6 + 2d4 + 1d8 + 0HP: 26 (6+4+4+3+3+6+0)BAB: +2 (1+1+0)Melee: +1Ranged: +3Def: 21 (1+1+0+1+8)AP: 40 (5+6+6+7+7+9)Rep: +4 (1+0+0+3)Wealth: 21FORT: +2 (1+0+1+0)REFL: +3 (1+0+1+1)WILL: +6 (2+0+0+1+2+1)Feats:Iron Will - 1stEducated (physical & life) - 1stSimple Weapons - Smart 1Gearhead - 3rdStudious - Smart 2Renown - 6thClass Abilities:Savant - Know (phys. sci.)Exploit WeaknessSmart DefenseSkills:Smart 102, max 7 ranksF.
