Oh sweet Jesus Christ, you just made your character sound as irritating as you ever possibly could have, short of making her a princess with pointed ears, purple eyes, and a talking horse. I'm sorry; I really hope I'm reading you wrong, here.

I'm missing the reference. I was not planning on having her be annoying at all.

Sorry, I should have been clearer in my calculations. The total's 1(stats)+9(Base attack)+0(base defense) = 10, so even with no base defense, you seem to be 2 points over. It's possible that you're not, and have got the points back somewhere else but missed updating the sheet.

Synch.

tyrlaan has the correct number of points. I think you messed up on your stat calculation as shown.
Stats (+3-2-2) = -1
BAB 3 x 3PP = 9
BDB 0 x 2PP = 0
Total: 8 PP

Ack, you're right. I'm terribly sorry, tyrlaan - for some reason, I was adding -4 and +3 to be +1. I appear to be unable to perform simple mathematics, which doesn't bode well! :confused:

Synch.

PS- Gideon, quick question. Dice rolls - are you making them? The usual alternative to that is online dice rollers, but I tend to prefer the GM making them. (My computer sometimes has issues with online dice rollers - god knows why.)

Are you familiar with the term Mary Sue?

Also, my wife keeps laughing at Karma's stated height and weight. I can't judge this stuff, myself, but apparently your character would be pretty badly emaciated with those numbers. Like, stick-insect-lookin, can't-menstruate-anymore territory.

There are a couple guide lines to posting that I would like to follow. I guess here and now are as good a place as any. I will edit my original post to contain them as well for easy reference later.

1. In the title bar I would like you to always list this specific information.

Charachter Name, Current # Hero Points/Total # Hero Points, Damage, Current Armor Level

This should help me book keep as well as make it clear who the charachters are. It will, hopefully, curtail confusion before we all know what poster name goes with what charachter. There is an example in the title of this post.

2. At the end of the body of your post please list any feats, skills, or attacks (w/ DMG or saves DCs) that you are using.


3. A section listing all powers that are Mimiced or that you currently are using the Gadgets power for.

As far as dice rolling goes, I will be rolling the dice. Is there any other posting/game play things that need to be sorted out that you folks can think of?

You know, it's an interesting point. It seems that the superhero genre's a tricky one where Mary Sues are concerned. If you think about it, we are creating people who are simply better than everyone else; they're stronger, or faster, or smarter, or whatever. I'm really not sure what a Mary Sue in superhero-dom would be. I mean, I guess someone who could outwrestle Superman, deride Batman's 'amateurish' detective methods, correct Mr Fantastic's calculations and keep Galactus in a dog kennel as a pet would definitely fall into that category, but besides that...what is a superhero Mary Sue? Isn't what would be a Mary Sue in another category more par for the course in the world of superheroics? Heck, I'm playing a guy who's got multiple degrees and is one of the smartest people on the planet excluding Super-Int. Is that 'Stu-like'...or just super?

Synch. (Now contemplating creating a superhero called 'Captain Average!') :)

I meant to ask you what you wanted to do with your charachter's family. The super hero team will be housed on the base and there is room for your family. However, there aren't really any other families or children. The military will want you on base in case of trouble but will be somewhat flexable.

I'm actually basing it off a character in the Wraith Squadron novels, Garik Loran, the Face. I know exactly what a Mary Sue is, the Author's pet character that they write into the situations that they wish they were in, to live vicariously through. I think that Synch is right about the Genre, that Super-heros are naturally going to have a lot of the same qualities automatically, just because they are Super.

The weight was a typo, I had two versions of the charcter that I was trying to decide between a shorter fiesty one that had a slight napolean complex, and the one I ended up with. I grabbed the weight from the wrong one. The other was built more like me 5'2" 92lbs, the version I went with, the taller one, should weigh 116.
