[QUOTE="DJCupboard, post: 3510673, member: 21995"] Back in college I played an Abberant character who could change his form into that of a superhero. The mousy little convenience store attendant could control when he turned and had full access to the memories of his superhero form, but the hero (named Hero) had no idea he was an alternate identity and so had no access to the information pertinant to his current mission. His normal form would leave him post-it notes on whatever surface he was facing that would get him up to speed. He just kind of assumed existance was pretty much just one adventure after another with no conective life in between. It was a lot of fun. For a more He-man-y champion I would play it that only the body was different, that the two forms shared the same mind (and were essentially the same person), though the hero form might be stupider or smarter than his base form. The fun could come from trying to hide the secret from your compatriots and enemies (especially your enemies). I'd be more interested in Rich's class if the base class was a tad weeker and the avatar form was a smidge more powerful. Maybe something as simple as wizard BAB for the base and all good saves and full plate proficiency for the avatar (maybe with some armor that pops in with the form). A hybrid of his class and the archivist from heroes of horror might be interesting, too. DJC [/QUOTE]
