@Mimic: Sounds solid enough for me. But what do you expect to with those claws in shadow form? As the power says you are incopreral so I would asume that you can't touch anyone while in it.

I was using the errated information stating that ghost touch was included in the cost of the altered form, but looking back at the character the claws seem a bit to direct.

Instead of the claws, I'm thinking about shadow tendrils or something like that.

Went to every comic and reg bookstore in this area, and none had the M and M core book. All said they could order it, but it would take about a week to get here. With that in mind, I will go ahead and fold my hand on this game and maybe try again down the road once the book gets more available.

I will be lurking though to see how this all unfolds...:)

More available? The game is probably is less available than it use to be just cause it’s been out for awhile...

Order from amazon or wal-mart.com. ;)

in this game lurking might pay of cause just like in the comics the X-Men will get more member with time.
 

Radiant, I'm not trying to be a pain, no really I'm not, but I would like to know if you like my concept or not. I'm off on the weekends like normal folk now so my best chance to work on this stuff is on the weekend.

All that said, I need to know if I need to work on another concept or not... :)
 

more game information:
rules: I will use only the core book and the errata of M&M (see Bro Shatterstones link above)
I will also use the optional rules of creative editing (it was called that wasn't it?)and Skill Points (meaning you gain 2 Skill points for each power point spent)
Normaly the rule of "Massive Damage" will not be used but it applies in fights with major villains or critical end-battles. You will allways know then a scene like that starts 'cause the thread will be marked with "Final Combat". So you allways know then it gets hot. Ususaly that is the page you recognize from the cover of the issue ;)

About Characters: So far I can say I really like the following characters:
Brother Shatterstone's, Mistress Mind, Telekinetic and Telepath
Dark Phoenix's , Phoenix the living fire, human torch style character

Since I will not take many characters with the same style of powers you might reconsider creating characters with these powers. Unless you are sure your concept is a real blast and I will prefer it over them of course. But to be honest their post count (which for me just means they probably won't vanish from the game suddenly) and quality of posts (yes I read them) make these too characters almost sure candidates for the game.

@Zhure: Got your mail but didn't get to read it yet.

I nearly broke my ankle last week, that is pain. Try your best shot you won't be able to bother me.
I think I answered your question at the same time you wrote it ;)

Frank Morrisson was born into a middle-class family in San Fransisco and lived a peaceful life there... Until the age of 12, when his mutant powers developed. Suddenly, young Frank found himself able to communicate mentally with machines, particularly computers. He also gained the logical mind of a computer, complete with photographic memory and enhanced intelligence. Being quite intelligent even before, Frank finally graduated from college with high grades all over, and went on to study programming at Wisconsin. He could certainly have graduated earlier, but he held back to hide his superhuman intelligence. Other than for his knack with computers, Frank's powers weren't really obvious, so he could live a peaceful life despite the anti-mutant sentiments. Frank was quite bored with the less than challenging studies at UoW though, so he readily accepted when Professor X showed up, told him about the X-men, and asked for his help. Finally, a worthy challenge for Frank "Data" Morrisson, super-powered programmer.

What should be the PL for Alicia? :)
