[QUOTE="John Q. Mayhem, post: 4570374, member: 13525"] It's been a while since I read Watchmen, but isn't Nite Owl just a regular (albeit intelligent) guy with gadgets? I don't see most of the costumed heroes using the Necessary Evil rules; everyone but Ozymandias and Dr. Manhattan would just be a regular (but experienced and tough) wild card. Ozymandias would have AB (superpowers) from NE, mostly using his points for stat and skill boosts. Manhattan...I think that he'd have to be more nebulous. I agree that SW, even with NE, wouldn't be able to model him well, but I don't think he needs to be built. He's more a plot device, anyways. DEFINITELY an NPC. EDIT: Unless NE was what you were referring to by special character building rules...Yeah, base SW would not work well for Ozymandias unless he was strictly an NPC; he's just better than everyone else. I think the bullet-catching was just him blowing all his bennies to soak that gunshot and the GM describing it in an appropriately superhuman manner :) [/QUOTE]
