[QUOTE="J-H, post: 8929653, member: 7020951"] One of my players has been comparing his character to the Avengers for a while and calls it a superhero campaign. He has boots that let him do a hero-style landing from altitude and take no damage (they do AOE damage in a small AOE instead). He has an adamantium plated skeleton, and an implanted troll heart, and implanted poison glands in his wrists, and I think he went for one other mod from the Fleshcrafter, but don't recall what. They traveled most of the way around the map to locate adamantium and a source of troll hearts. He won a bow in an archery contest (2nd prize) that doubled his range, then took Sharpshooter. And he's a Kensei monk, so he runs really fast and can run up and down walls and across water, and has great saves. He's Hawkeye/Captain America/Wolverine with a bit of the Flash. He keeps asking for some sort of throwable returning battle disc for some reason :p He took his character, gave it a few Fiendish boosts, and used it as a BBEG boss for his campaign of 14th-ish level characters. Fast, long ranged damage, hard to pin down, purple worm poison, etc. He says the only reason it wasn't close to a TPK was the diviner saying "No, you didn't pass that save against Hold Monster." The Samurai can catch incoming ray attacks on his sword, and then discharge them into the next enemy hit. If he ever goes down to 0, he gets to take a full turn, action surge, and attack 8 more times. The Paladin has teleported onto dragon-back and then started smiting the dragon while riding it. The Warlock has a book that lets him name a spell...any spell...and then cast it the next turn, with a recharge rate of 1 day per spell level. He likes to use True Polymorph to turn into an adult dragon for fights now. Eventually he'll figure out that he can use the book for Shapechange so that he's a Warlock adult dragon. Embrace the Awesome. Have fun with it... and don't worry about how they will defeat tough fights. [/QUOTE]
