Snaking the HIVE

[Relique du Madde]

I was actually thinking 4th edition would be a great system to use for superhero type games, I would suggest including a card if your using them reminding players that they don't only have to use their prescribed powers.

It would be... but it would suffer because you can't customize your powers or make some insane power chains like you could if you used Mutants and Masterminds.

Now maybe if you could speed up combat it would be perfect, decrease villain hit points increase damage maybe.

Just toss out randomized damage and use M&M's damage saves. Problem is that Strength for Toughness would make Strength too important of a an attribute since many characters would have Strength Based toughness.

Thats how it worked in that old marvel card based RPG seemed to work fairly well cause with massive strength theres only so much cool stuff you can do compared to the control powers magic superspeed etc

Regeneration as always was the mutts nuts though Not quite as good as reality control or magic though

By the way, I'm fond of Savage Worlds and Necessary Evil to play superheroes! Hmmm... I think I could even stat up Peter from Heroes, at least in a limited way.

Cheers, LT.

Hmmm... actually.. Now that I think about it it would work since I forgot that everything is limited by power level.

I've seen several different writups for Peter (in M&M). Fortunately they were flawed since they don't take in consideration of how broken Peter is and actually limited is power snatching (which is a good thing). I'nm not sure if anyone has come close to making an idealized version of Peter which allowed him to do everything anyone could do (using a dynamic variable power structure based on the Nemisis power).
