If d20 can handle Hercules and Mercury...

[JPL]

...then it can handle Superman and Spider-Man.

Opinions?

There are plans for d20 super heroes games. So, yes, I think it's ll have no problem with handlling these characters. The biggest problem I see is increaseing greatly the amount people can lift, super heroes seem to be able to lift a lot more then your typical fantasy character. The rest is filling in a system a super powers. It could easily be a feat/skill system of some type. Both of the characters mentioned above would be high level, and that would help to define their power.

 

[Superman]

...then it can handle Superman and Spider-Man.

Opinions?

I've had my stats posted on the board before.
Not a very easy thing to fit me into a 'normal game'.
Here they are again.

SA - Eye-Beams (Ex): Superman can fire a Beam of heat from his eyes; 7,000 feet long; every 1d4 rounds; damage 24d10, Reflex half DC 171,872.
SA - Frightful Presence (Ex): Superman can unsettle foes with his mere presence. This ability takes effect automatically (radius 500 ft) whenever Superman attacks, charges, or flies overhead. A potentially affected creature (one with less than 327,713 HD) that succeeds at a Will save (DC 163922) remains immune to Superman's frightful presence for one day. On a failure, creatures with 4 or fewer HD become panicked for 4d6 rounds and those with more than 5 HD become shaken for 4d6 rounds. Superman ignores the frightful presence of any other creature.
SQ - Blindsight (Ex): Superman can ascertain creatures by nonvisual means (mostly hearing and scent, but also by noticing vibrations and other environmental clues); this Superman's range is 500 feet.
SQ - Super Keen Senses (Ex): Superman can see fifty times as well humans in low-light conditions and twenty five times as well in normal light. He also has darkvision with a range of 25,000 feet.
SQ - Water Action (Ex): Superman can freely use his Eye-Beams and other abilities while submerged.
SA - X-Ray Vision (Ex): Superman can use X-ray Vision as the ring of X-ray Vision.

Yeah, but can you get a guy home from third with that head bunt?

That is the important question.

 

[Upper_Krust]

Well Supermans strength is wrong!

Based on a previous D.C. RPG Sourcebook he can bench just over 1 million tons, so his strength works out at about 125 by d20 standards.

 

[Tsyr]

What about the skills "Disguise(Mild-Mannered Reporter)" and "Profession(Reporter)"? YOU'RE A FAKE!

 

[Lizard]

Superman's Strength...

D20 strength maps very well to Champions strength (doubing lifting capacity every 5 points). DC heroes gave the 'classic' superman a Strength of 50, which is 250 in Champions and D20 terms.

I'd put Dex at 40-something and Con at 80 something. I'd also up the DR to about 500, but make it /+1 -- remember, Superman is vulnerable to magic! A magic sword will cut him easily.

He's been powered-up recently back to his rightful Pre-Crisis levels. He recently pushed Pluto (converted to a new War-World) out of orbit under his own power against the force of a temporal rift back to the energy of the Big Bang.

125, really I thought it would be higher. Then again, I might feel the need to adjust certain gods. hmm.

Actually it has been stated in the past that Superman is able to 'Lift a Planet' and although he has pushed Pluto it was never stated exactly which Planet he could lift...
