[QUOTE="RangerWickett, post: 285104, member: 63"] For Silver Surfer you don't need our book. You need Deities and Demigods. Really, even Thor and Supes are kinda pushing the boundary. We didn't have the Epic Level Handbook while writing this (and couldn't have used it if we had), so we just had to kinda guess at whether a 50th level Fighter is balanced against a 50th level Hero. To cover everything the surfer can do, though . . . yeah, let's not start that. But as for combat experience, a 50th level Supes would still have a +25 base attack bonus from level alone. He's heroic, and he's high-level, so the force of RPG narrative makes him good at fighting. But not as good as, say, Thor, who might be a 20th/20th/10th Fighter/Hero/Barbarian. For Iron Man, I see a few ways you could handle his extra suits being remote controllable. It depends on whether he can also fight while the other suit does it too, or if he has to devote most of his attention to the remote control. If both can fight, you could just stat up the extra suit as an all-Hero Cohort. If only one can fight, . . . we don't really have a power to let you fight at a distance like that. As long as the character doesn't do it too often, it shouldn't really be a problem, and you could just let him control the suit from a distance without having to acquire a separate power. I mean, if the suit is destroyed, he's not able to keep helping the party, so he's as good as dead. If you're not the type of GM who likes to kill his PCs too often, then it shouldn't affect balance. Although, the other PCs might call him a coward. But if you just want him to have different suits, then yeah, all he really needs is to use his Hero Points to acquire gadgets, which he can switch around as he wishes, as long as he has a few hours to tinker.
