[QUOTE="ValhallaGH, post: 5446584, member: 41187"] Basics should include the edition being used. 1st, 2nd, or 3rd? It makes a pretty big difference. Blacksmith: Craft or Expertise/Technology skills, possibly with Profession if he makes a lot of money at it. Marksman: Improved Aim, Precise shot, plus attack specializations (guns). Figure he's on a base ranged attack of +4 (decent), but at an +8 with a gun (great), and a +18 (amazing) if he takes a round to Aim. Everything except the specializations will work for his lightning, too. Straight forward and generally fun. Why Regen (if you don't mind my asking)? For Chain Lightning, I'd just use an area-effect alternate of the Lightning blast, and describe it as chaining from one victim to another. Note: In M&M every build is powerful. The only way to not power game is to build someone with zero combat ability, which doesn't fit the genre and is intentionally counter to the campaign. So forget that elitist nonsense at the door.
