Metropolis After Dark ("hiatus")

[Crazyivan777]

Still looking for a way to shave the 8 points without nerfing the character. I'm still open to advice / suggestions.

As far as your character goes, the skills are all over the place. Not to mention, if you don't have any points in a skill, you really don't need to list em. With skills, you need to look at your character's back story and then see how the skills would fit in.

For example, if you have Investigate, most people usually pair it up with diplomacy, bluff or intimdate, yet you have no skill points towards those. Then: Life Sciences, Arcane Lore, Streetwise. How do these play into your characters story? What sort of profession is your character involved in? If you have investigate, why is your Sense motive so low? Rearranging your skills would help you drop some points.

Alright: Here's my take on your character (I did it with hero lab)

Sorry for my own delay, been having some really serious computer issues. I think I'll just run with this build, and I thank you for the help with it!

We could discuss how our team got together while we wait.

We could discuss how our team got together while we wait.

We could bug Superman's living space and take candid pics of him, then sell em to Myx for cosmic favors.

[poodle]

Are we an established team with our own headquarters? If not then maybe we actually met up dealing with a crime/disaster/cosmic event. We discovered that we have useful skills that seem to work together, safety in numbers and all that.

I wouldn't think Helena would have met any of the other characters. She's primarily a detective, not exactly a superhero. She would probably know of them though and they of her.

[Crazyivan777]

I could see Fool crossing paths with Helena, though; they could easily be looking for the same person at some point.

If anyone wants a big dumb pet that requires no feeding or walking and only limited access to cable TV then here I am.

That might work, Zantana as well, especially if they were after some doo-dad or another or if another Hero or whatnot needed Helena vetted as a good sorcerer. I can see Batman doing that.

He can hang with Metro. Get a sort of Luke Cage and Iron Fist duo going until they meet up with the rest of the PCs.

Pokes the GM:

Is this game a go, or are ye teasin our sorry selves? Weah be the IC thread?

[poodle]

Thanks Sakuro, I imagine Brick needing someone smarter than him to say things like "psst Brick, there is no referee,", "No brick, they are making out not fighting."

[Femme Fatale]

Maybe Kid will show up soon? Hope everything is OK.

[MrMellow]

Well, if this ain't en progresse I want another shot at it, now when I don't have work taking up exactly every waking hour that I am not cooking or making tea or drinking myself into an early grave...

[Crikey Kid]

You can throw your hat in, MrMellow. We'll be starting soon (either today or tomorrow depending on my free time), but you can come in if you get a character done.

[Crikey Kid]

I'm going to put this on the shelf for a bit. Maybe until the end of summer. when everything gets back to normal. I have so little time right now. I may do two days a week on the computer if I'm lucky. I'm sorry to hold you guys back. If I've upset you and you leave, I understand and I apologize in advance.
