Character du jour: Jarod

[Beleriphon]

Nice model of the Book Dracula, none of this death in sunlight, or by stakes. Just one thing, i forget how they do it but it took three steps to kill Dracula, so you might want to give his regeneration a power loss versus this method.

Technically that isn't necessary since every Resurrection, barring True Resurrection, needs a single method for it to be defeated. Thus Dracula's three step killing is already included.

[Thorpacolypse]

Dang, B, that was quick! I am going to use that Frankenstein build in my upcoming game, actually as a hero, I do believe. Being a big, lumbering beast of a man myself, I've always had a soft spot in my heart for this monster and King Kong. We misunderstood behemoths have to stick together.

And as much as I hate time travel arcs, I may have to work Holmes and Watson in as well since I think you really did them justice. I love the flexibilty of the MnM system. You look at this board and see accurate representations of everything from House, to Goku, to Gods, Transformers, 55 versions of Batman; just everything you can think of.

Try to do this stuff in D&D 3.5...

You da man!

Your right, i forgot this, in that case great build, i also liked the Sherlock Holmes build, my game has a player that plays Sherlock Holmes.

Indeed. As for quick, I'm workig the late shift at work so I have nothing to do for a few hours after I'm done. Since I'm totally wired I find this helps me to relax.

Its more fun when you realize that the Creature has an intelligence that is as high, if not higher, than the one V. Frankenstein.

[Wordmaker]

Great work, as usual.

You da man!

You can, its not even that hard if you know the system well enough. Holmes is particularly easy since you can represent him as a level 5 expert with the appropriate skills and a decent intelligence score.

I will admit that building Superman in D&D is impossible without making Kryptonians a race. But any normal human character can be achieved with a fairly high degree of precision if you really work at it.

As always thank you for the comments.

Let me know how Holmes turns out in game. He's supposed to a trained fencer and a skilled boxer, so I'd like to see how that turns out.

[Libra]

Since you've statted the creature Dracula-

<Hawk,Spit!>

-I would like to see good Old Van Helsing statted up to oppose him! Can't have centuries old monsters running around unopposed.

Besides, I rather like Van Helsing. (Abram Van Helsing, although I will confess a sneaking Popcorn Movie enjoyment of Gabriel Van Helsing.)

[Wordmaker]

Yeah, a Van Helsing build would be really cool.

[Libra]

Especially if he looks like Peter Cushing or Anthony Hopkins.

(My two favoured incarnations of the character. I'm also an advocate of Christopher Lee as Dracula. Oldman did a fairly good Job, but in my mind Christopher Lee is the Son of the Devil.)

You and me both Libra. Its a terrible movie, but for a bit of silly fun Van Helsing certainly worked.

SUMMARY
Abilities 22 + Skills 15 (60 ranks) + Feats 22 + Powers 0 + Combat 4 + Saves 12 – Drawbacks 0 = 75

One Abram van Helsing in his vampire hunting glory. He only hits his caps when hunting vampires, and he isn't terribly like to hit them. So he'll be relying largely on his gadgets (as in the bag o' stuff that he carries around) to try and trap, trick, and ultimately destroy Dracula. Funny when you consider that van Helsing isn't even the one that kills the Dracula.
Quick update and picture. I also corrected the spelling of his name

[BARON]

I remember once kenson said that if there is an obscure way to prevent ressurection, that those ranks cost double. every use of resurrection requires an out though. There has to be an asterisk next to it. Just a note for your dracula build.

Easily fixed, as I recall it involved cutting of Dracula's head, stuffing his mouth with garlic, and then driving a silver spike through his heart.

if this is van Helsing from the original book then he i think he was a very acomplished doctor so you might want to give him proffesion (Doctor).

I suppose I shall have to then.
