Living Supers - General Discussion Thread

If I created a first-edition character, would someone help me convert it to 2nd edition? "Help" as in "do it for me"?

Well, I might give you a hand on it when I'll find some times...

Ok, what about the trade-off rule. Do we limit it or leave it so it can be used as much as having a 0 somewhere?

Anything above a 2-3 trade off is getting to be too much, and I'd be very critical of it. I'd say that +3/-3 should be the maximum.

I was thinking a good trade-off rule would be half power level, so the trade-off would eveolve with the PL.

Anyone else have an opinion on that question?

I like it Velmont.

Thanks, I would suggest to post it in the Character thread as a second post, or just edit the first post, so the template would be easily avalaible.

I suggest the second, so it would stand alone in a post and people could only click quote to show the template as it is.

I think its way too long, length wise at any rate, you can condense it a bit by beingwilling to put things on the same line, making it easier to use. Take a cue from Living Enworld in that regard, the sheet from that is insid code backets, and in general is much much shorter, just put in the relevant information there.

Then look towards the SBlock function instead of the Code Function.

Why? The sheet will be just as long whether it is hidden or not. The code function allows us to use tabs, and other things so we can format the information in a much more compact version.

This isn’t D&D. There is no easy way to format anything of value on the right hand side of the page cause there is no set value on what a character will need length wise.

Besides I personally find the “Coded character” sheets to be highly annoying but you like them so maybe you could make one that works...

Many of the things relevant to DnD are relevant here, Saving Throws, Init, Attack Bonus, Defense, Flat Foot Defense, Ability scores, etc. the only real difference between the 2 sheets would be the addition of powers really, possibly drawbacks, and those are easy to slip in there.

I'm working on two sheets at the moment to see what I like better.

I’m interested to see them but to be honest I see little length and spacing that can be saved with using “code” so I really think your going to be hard pressed to justify the needless scrolling when an Sblock saves the space you wish too. (IMHO of course)

There's really only one problem I have with code blocks - that they seem to work improperly with the 50 posts per page setting. Must be too much for Firefox.
