I must first say that COBOLT is character that I will hopefully be playing in an up-coming game that we are trying to get off of the ground. The character is built using bits and pieces of different characters that either I have built or I have seen and I liked the idea. I borrowed the idea of the Combat Chassis with Force-Field support from the Ultramarine design from Emerald City. Most of the other ideas came from my own builds.

I found the pictures that I am using for COBOLT on Deviant Art. The artist is harveytolibao. They were black and white art and I added the blue coloration.

EDIT: I removed SECOND CHANCE: Toughness Saves and added +1 (total of 7) to Parry. This was done after SAILBOAT pointed out to me that the sweeping coverage of "Toughness Saves" is not a valid option under the rules. Thanks for pointing it out to me....

[Sailboat]

Second Chance: TOUGH Saves

Others will correct me if I'm wrong, but I really don't think "Second Chance" works that way. The rules indicate (see below) that you must choose a fairly specific hazard, not "all Toughness saves." Certainly if one point gave you a second chance on Toughness saves, every single character would be crazy not to take it. I think you need to define it more narrowly, such as "Second Chance: Toughness saves vs bullets." And if you want more than one Second Chance, pay for each.

From the the D20heroSRD

Choose a particular hazard, such as falling, being tripped, triggering traps, mind control (or another fairly specific power effect, such as Damage with the fire descriptor) or a particular skill with consequences for failure. If you fail a check against that hazard, you can make another immediately and use the better of the two results. You only get one second chance for any given check, and the GM decides if a particular hazard or skill is an appropriate focus for this advantage. You can take this advantage multiple times, each for a different hazard.

Apologies for barging in with the criticism, but I just got done with a lengthy conversation about Second Chance with my GM.

Second Chance: TOUGH Saves

Apologies for barging in with the criticism, but I just got done with a lengthy conversation about Second Chance with my GM.

Not a problem.... I'm glad that I was able to be shown the error and I was able to correct it. No harm..No foul.

It is strange that after all these years... you are the first to catch the error.

[Thorpacolypse]

My youngest LOVES Slenderman. He makes me watch memes of it all the time. Kudos on making it actually cool this time.

My oldest wanted to dress as the Slenderman for Halloween... He opted for Frodo Baggins instead.

______________________________________________________________________________
First let me say that I have built this character with a HEAVY dose of help from J-Mart products. I was lost in a quandry as to where to go... how to build my character and after posing the question to the ATT members, I followed some advise and looked at the other builds. I really liked the builds I found at J-Mart and so I "borrowed" Thorpacolypse's build ideas and used them with a little tweaking.

This is the latest incarnation of the character that I will be playing in our up-coming campaign. I specifically built the character with room to expand... I really hope to be able to play him long enough to build him up.

I have built several of the "Alt. Powers", based on items that were created in the Green Lantern: Rise of the Manhunters videogame.

Shapeable Force Blast: (Manifests as a missle launcher system that fires a barrage of missles out and blasts an area selected by the GL)

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
I also built up a build for some cool 'toys' ...
Rocket-Assist Punch
* Speed 2: Limited boost in a straight line.
* Punch (Strike 10)_Penetrating
Sledge Hammer
* Shockwave_Affliction (Dazed / Defenseless / Incapacitated)
* Strike 8
Spiked Balls on chains
* Strike 10
* 30 ft Radius
* Multiattack

These are not part of the main write-up and I have them stat'ed out under the "Library" tab in Hero Lab.

As always.. any suggestions would be willingly accepted.

The Pumpkin King is an ancient spirit that has been on Earth since the beginning of time. Over the ages, The Pumpkin King has gone by a variety of different names. The most common name used is Samhain.
In this epic mystical story, we introduce a young boy who for some unknown reason believed in the 'old ways'. Each Halloween, during the Festival of Samhain, he would create a small alter and prey for the spirit of Halloween to grant him a wish.

As the years passed, he was repeatedly ridiculed for his annual pilgrimage. His childhood girlfriend would eventually refuse to speak with him. As his teenage years came and went.. he slowly stopped following his ritual.

After high school, he went away to college to study history. One Halloween, he attended a party where some of his friends were playing with a Ouija board. As they were calling out different names of spirits that they wanted to contact.... they got their wish. There was a sudden blast of hot wind that seemingly blew from the middle of the Ouija board. The wind blew out candles and threw open doors. Standing in the middle of the wind storm a figure.. the young boy became the host of a powerful demon and everybody else at the party died.

Now the Pumpkin King is free to carve a bloody swarth across the countryside. As part of his union, the Pumpkin King is also periodically taking revenge on the people that taunted him about his beliefs.

Gone is the young man who sat in the pumpkin patch and now the Pumpkin King remains. From time to time, the young man, Linus van Pelt surfaces... but his personality is slowing being absorbed by the Pumpkin King.

________________________________________________________

Like many of my builds, this one was inspired by a picture. I found this picture on-line (Sorry I don't know the origins) and it inspired me.
This is Linus van Pelt from Peanuts fame.... you know... This guy...

Anybody familiar with Peanuts will remember the Great Pumpkin... This is a what-if, in which Linus has grown up and the Great Pumpkin has finally answered his call.

The second picture is of "The Harvester". It is a 'huge' construct that is a minion of the Pumpkin King. He can call upon it to destroy large areas of land and instill mass amounts of fear.

[Spectrum]

Okay! I've got shivers.

Now, what happened to the blanket?

[catsi563]

The blanket in a horror story of that type would be lost and buried in Linuses things.

the blanket represents security and safety for a child, it also represents that innocence when we as children clung to a teddy bear or a binky because it was familiar, and it made us feel safe and wanted.

In the story the blanket would be the key to finally destroying the Pumpkin king as it would allow Linus to finally free himself from the kings clutches and remind him of those days of innocence.

[ladydragonfly]

This is truly epic. Love it!

[Emerald Flame]

This is truly epic. Love it!

Thanks.. Glad you like it.

[Thorpacolypse]

This is truly epic. Love it!

I concur. I think someone who faces him should also be able to summon his sister Lucy or Charlie Brown's sister Sally, who can weaken the King, setting him up for the usage of the Blanket.

Now you're making me want to stat Linus as a superhero. He was wicked bad with that blanket back in the day. I could see him becoming a street level hero ala Ragman but more like Blanket Man.

[Earth-Two_Kenn]

The ghost of a heroic Ace from the first World War possessing the neighbour's dog should be in their somewhere.

[Emerald Flame]

The ghost of a heroic Ace from the first World War possessing the neighbour's dog should be in their somewhere.

That might be interesting... But I was envisioning a large demonic beast that is followed by a swarm of little yellow sky-piranha.

After some comments made after my posting of Linus... I thought of a funny twist on his blanket. Enjoy....


Not all is as it seems....

The Blanket is a force of nature that is from unknown origins. The blanket has been around for many many years.
The Blanket has no ability to move by itself and relies on others... It moves by influencing those around it to carry it around. Throughout history, it has influenced children... grooming them to eventually carry out it's bidding.
The Blanket finds the person that it wants and then inserts itself into their life. Once the child has accepted the Blanket.. it grooms the child by giving them a sense of comfort and slowly whispers in their ear... The Blanket slowly manipulates them until they are ready.

True evil is covered in goodness.....

OK... Now tell me how many of you had a blankie??
