M&M - Foot in the Door [Full]

[Brother Shatterstone]

I would like to try an elementalist type.

You know, I wouldn't mind doing an elementalist too... Of course would be better if the characters where related and where on opposite ends of the spectrum… Like fire and water, or air and earth, though I imagine earth would be a brick… So maybe something that complemented each other, fire and air, air and water, etc.

hey don't laugh works always boring...

... though I imagine earth would be a brick…

Not necesserly. An earth elementalist could be a sculptor. You give him create object, all in stones, he can animate them. See it more as an architect.

But a combo that could hurt a lot, it is Water/Electricty. You splash everyone and then, I just jolt them with some 100000V.... water conduct electricity

Ah, phew. Was afraid for a moment that I wasn't going to get enough players.

Hmmm...well, that makes Grue Bait (a friend of mine who's planning on playing), Brother Shatterstone, Velmont, Mark Chance, Tokiwong and Kevin Perrine. A few more than I was anticipating, but I'm sure I can work it out.

Well, looks like we need character sheets and backgrounds. If you can, I suggest you make your character with Simpsons Character Builder. If you have Excel, it's a freakin' god-send. Plus, if you do use it, you can just send the finished Excel file to me rather than typing it up.

...Admitidly, then I'd just end up typing it up on the forum. At any rate, he's the link for my thread in the Rogue's Gallery. Please post your character sheets over there.

Oh. And Grue Bait already finished his character - The Iron Aegis. He's a construct, has high damage save, high melee damage, and some ranks in Regeneration.

Talking of charcter building, is there any rules change. The usual one is about skill (1:1, 2:1 or 3:1?)

Gramcrackered, honestly if you got more than you want I can head off down the road, I've been lucky this week and have picked up probably two, one for sure, other M&M games. So there be no hard feelings on my account.

So make yourself comfortable when it comes to group size.

1:1 is the base. However, if you feel your character is particularly skill-intensive (and I mean that; don't take this feat if skills aren't a huge part of your character), I'm willing to give you some wriggling room with the following feat.

HIGHLY SKILLED
You have spent more time training your skills than most.
Prerequisite: Int 13+, Skill Focus for at least two different skills.
Benefit: You gain 2 skill ranks for each Power Point you spend on skills.
Normal: Characters without the Highly Skilled feat only gain 1 skill rank for each Power Point spent.
Special: The effects of this feat are not retroactive. If you take this feat after character creation, you do not get bonus skill ranks for Power Points spent on skills before the feat was taken.

Oh, don't worry about it. It doesn't really bother me. To tell the truth, I like having a little padding in the group. Gives me some wriggle room for character deaths or, far more likely, players who simply can't keep up.

So, Bro, will you try your chance in this game? If it is the case, I am willing to devellop a concept in team, if you are interested.

 

[Tokiwong]

Mentalist idea for me

Yeah, I think I can add another game to my dance card... I was going to go straight up brick, but when I was looking for a name for another character I found a good name for a water control heroine. (Naiad)

So I you want to do your Electricity I’ll do the water… Though I’m scared to see us in the same area fighting… Do me favor pick up flight… I just don’t see it working for a water-based hero.

FULCRUM - "BOOM!!"

Here's my first run at my first "brick" character for M&M...
I gave him Lifting X3 which puts him able to lift over 1600 tons, his punch is still the norm for a PL10 though.
I just liked the idea of him being one of the (if not THE) strongest men in the world.

Hence his super name...
I'll develop the backstory soon. The base idea is that he's a big contruction worker (dumptruck driver) with a son, living in the Lincoln area (I think that's right). He knows he's not the smartest (Int/Wis 8 and "dull witted" weakness) but he loves his son and wants to help protect Freedom City.
Sorta like a cross between Bruce Willis in Unbreakable and Stalone in Rocky.
After aquiring his power and making a costume to go out to help people, he just couldn't stand it and told his son the next morning. (al la Bruce Willis)

Rather than give him leaping like many other super strong big dumb guys I gave him a touch of flight... he can run much faster but loves to fly.
He has fun in beating down baddies, yelling "BOOM!!" and "BAM!!" when he hits....
