[QUOTE="fireinthedust, post: 6001285, member: 51930"] Hawkeye + Thor? ... Maybe, yeah, that explains a lot... (shakes it off) I do personally like Thor, and Hawkeye in the Avengers cartoon is great. But it's more that they tend to be examples of the spectrum of superheroes in Marvel. If Thor is on a team, everyone else goes "but what am I supposed to do?" and that pretty much sums up Hawkeye's entire career. Yet they both have their moments when they save the day (Spidey, too), and the mechanics of the game can have them co-exist and both be "optimal" choices. I'll go over the rules for the game in a bit. The gist of it is that you have dice for different aspects of your character. With Thor he'd have "god of thunder" and "lightning bolt" and "godlike strength", and each would give him a dice to roll. If when he's doing an action he can convince the rest of us that what he's doing has something to do with each of the categories, he gets each of those dice. If he's just swinging his hammer, he rolls that die, but if he's summoning a storm to battle a robot that also shoots lightning bolts, he could use his "god of thunder" and "lightning bolt" dice. There aren't rules for every little detail, but you don't need them. I usually like mechanics, but this one works nicely without complex modifiers and such. [/QUOTE]
