Builders Notes:
I decided to see if i could whip up the Freedom League, as their Fantasy Medieval Versions. The Beaumonts are a minor noble family, that is rather prominant in the city of Freedom. So to be an adventurer he has to take up a secret identity, and juggle his social life and noble responsibilities with his desire to help others. Not much changed from his original build, though after entering him into Hero Lab i ended up with some different costs. I couldn't exactly replace him, so in this version his defense and attack are a little lower. But his bow power is more effective, with more colorful descriptors given to his alternate bow powers. He gains a few feats to simulate his nobility, which i will give a link to its simplified use in M&M. It sorta works as a Equipment + Minion Feat worked together.

Builder's Notes:
Captain Thunder, in a Medieval Freedom City! The difference here is that the good captain is part of Freedom's Sky Ship Armada. During one particular battle with the Lord Stratos, his ship exploded causing him to embued with the magical energies of Thunder and Lightning (as was his armor) making him extremely powerful. He is of course the leader of the Freedom League, but must juggle his responsibility to the city as well as his family and his job duties. Which means he is not always available for the others. But he is such a beacon for the forces of good.

Just curious - Is BAB and DAB attack and defense bonus? If so, did any characters in the game have scores in that area SH X and above?

YES, BAB is Base Attack Bonus, and DAB is Base Defense Bonus
Hmm that's a good question, i'll have to check. Might have to change that column then, if there is not many in that range. But remember this is just raw fighting before you add any Talents into the mix, and you have to take all this in a give and take kind of thing, many of the higher ranks wont translate rather well into MnM. But here's a few examples i could find.

Beyonder of Course, had Beyond Rank in all his stats.
Cthon is one of the rare few, he has SH X Fighting.
Death has Class 5000 everything
Ego the Planet, Class 1000 Fighting
Lord Chaos, SH Z Fighting and Agility.
Master Order, SH Z Fighting and Agility.
Neptune, SH X Fighting
Surtur, SH X Fighting

This is a rather short list, even the most of the marvel gods including Celetials and Eternals, didn't have and F or A scores above Unearthly. But as you can see only a few rare "Cosmic" scaled individuals had these stats.

So i ammended my chart, and increased the range of the lower Ranks when it comes to Base Combat and Defense bonuses.

[The Ilethryl Knight]

Cool. Thanks.

That's a game I think I'd like for myself. Going to have to look for it one of these days.

This game is no defunct, since it was original put out by TSR. And i was going to give you the website to a place, that had all this stuff for a free pdf download. But it's not there anymore.

But have no fear, i can set up a few free download links if you want some of these books. (since i own all the books in pdf format)

Great Fantasy Freedom League builds!
I always like to see familiar characters in different settings, JD, and your Bowman and Captain Thunder are great. Any chance of seeing the rest of the League?

[The Ilethryl Knight]

Hey, thanks for those links. Looks like I'll be busy all night reading through it all.

Builders Notes:
Alright here's my version of Daedalus in a Fantasy Setting, Daedalus changes slightly in several aspects. All his technical know how now encorporates magical aspects. And he is ritualist spell caster himself, many of the items he makes are with his Knowledge: Arcane and Craft Skills instead. With the changes involved he only ends up costing 1 more points over the original build.

Builders Notes:
The chaotic enegies of the Terminus Invasion, brought life to this living construct of earth. Dr. Metropolis is perhaps one of my favorite characters of the Freedom City Setting. The Only major change i made to him, was changing his origin slightly and putting his ESP & Teleportation within his Urban Control Array; to give it more of a Magical feeling to the character. And his natural strength is just a little bit better too. Over all, he's about 21 points cheaper than his modern day counterpart!

Cool conversions, man! Heh, frankly I was expecting Daedalus to come off as a steampunkish medieval hero. The arcane aspect was quite a surprise, well done!

Personally i'm not a big fan of the "Steam Punk" genre, so i like to make things a bit more fantastic. But thanks Alexander.
