Woodclaw's 2E - Hercules, Iolaus, Xena, Gabrielle

[Woodclaw]

After witnessing the result of my request to JoshuaDunlow, this is my attempt to sir Bowen, fallen kinght and now dragonslayer.


A knight is sworn to valor.
His heart knows only virtue.
His blade defends the helpless.
His might upholds the weak.
His word speaks only truth.
His wrath undoes the wicked.

Sir Bowen

this build represents Bowen at the beginning of the movie

against normal opponents Bowen is just PL 6.5, he only reach PL8 against dragons or when both is dedication and his lionheart feat are in use

Hunter is my attempt to create a counterpart to the favored opponent feat

New feat: Hunter (combat, ranked)

Choose one kind of opponent when you acquire this feat (according to the guidelines of Favored opponent), you get a +1 bonus per rank of this feat to the Toughness and Reflex saves against that oponent attacks. At GM discretion the Reflex bonus can be shifted on another save according to the nature of the opponent (e.g. a Will bonus against psionics, a Fortitude bonus against poisonous creatures etc.). All these bonuses are PL capped.

Mounted is one of the many weapon features I'm working on

New weapon feature: Mounted

A mounted weapon can only be used properly when you are horseback, if you attempt to use it when you are on foot you suffer a -4 penality to attack and must halve the total damage (including any possible Strength bonus). On the other hand when you use the weapon chargin from horseback you can use the mount strength bonus or your own, whichever is higher, to determine damage. The mount strength can exceed PL caps.

Complications: Guilt (made Einon immortal), Reputation (Monster), Responsibility (last of his kind)


my interpretation of Draco, a major headache to stat out. The big trouble was making him high enough in PL to beatable by a dragonslayer without making hima prey for any "upgunned" smallfolk. I think tha being PL9 in a realistic world made you dangerous enough

it's strange to see such a high rank of acrobatics, and Acrobatic bluff too, on something that big, but go back and rewatch the movie Draco was the extremly agile on the ground and even more airborne (a friend of mine defined him "the Muhammad Ali of dragons")

thans to Yar for pointing out about Draco's camouflage ability, since he has to stay put for it to work I decided to save some point and make it an AP of his movement powers, On the other hand, I made it continuous since he was able to keep it up while sleeping.

the comical sidekick of Dragonheart, Gilbert isn't much in combat unless he can get his hand on a bow, after that he can drill a hole in almost any normal opponent

Deadshot is another feat in the vein of my old Dual-wielding feat, it gave Improved aim and Precise shot, limited to a specific weapon

Say did'nt draco have some kind of concealment power i recall him making himself look like a rock at one point.

Well he certainly did at one point, I simply forget to add it to his abilities, sorry.

Back to my villains line, evn if in this case the term is reductive at best.

Yagyu Retsudo

Power Level: 7 (141pp)

Abilities: STR: 14 (+2), DEX: 16 (+3), CON: 14 (+2), INT: 18 (+4), WIS: 16 (+3), CHA: 16 (+3)

Feats: Assessment, Benefit 3 (Status: Head of the Yagyu clan), Benefit 4 (Wealth), Connected, Dedication, Light sleeper, Master plan, Minions 10 (50 Yagyu clan bushi or shinobi), Quick draw 1, Truth sense, Uncanny dodge 1 (Mental)

Challenges: Discrete inquiry, Durable lie 1, Lip reading, Read situation 1

Yagyū Shinkage-ryū (fighting style): Defensive attack, Defensive throw, Defensive roll 3, Dodge focus 4, Eight fences*, Improved block 2, Improved critical 1 (Tachi), Improved disarm 1, Improved trick, Moon and water*, Move-by action, Set-up, Sneak attack 1, Takedown attack 1, Weapon bind

* signature moves see notes

Equipment: (more or less anything he can need)

Weapons (Array)
- Tachi (+3 slashing damage; crit 19; Adaptable, Masterwork, Mighty)
- Wakizashi (+2 slashing damage; crit 19; Mighty)
- Jo staff with metal core (+2 blundgeon damage; crit 20; Mighty, Split attack 1, Throw 1)

Combat: Attack +8 (+6 ranged); Damage +2 (Unarmed); Defense +9 (+3 Flat-footed); Initiative +3

Saves: Toughness +5 (+2 Flat-footed), Fortitude +7, Reflex +5, Will +8

Drawbacks: Disability (One eye [Common, Moderate (-2 to ranged attack and perception checks involving depth perception); -3pp])

Abilities 34 + Skills 22 (88 ranks) + Feats 50 + Powers 0 + Combat 26 + Saves 12 - Drawbacks 3 = 141

Complications: Honor (will do anything to serve the Tokugawa clan), Enemy (Ogami Itto), Reputation (untrustworty)


Retsudo was built be be Itto's equal in every respect, albeit with some slight modification. Being older Retsudo is a little weaker and a slower, but he compensate by being better at feinting and blocking

Retsudo is already PL capped when using a Tachi, the Sneak atack is intended to be used barehanded or with other weapons (like a staff)

like Itto's, Retsudo signature moves are handled through the rules of Warriors & Warlocks

Eight fences: is an inherent array feat, based on Retsudo's DEX score, that adds Autofire 1 to melee weapon attacks (up to 6 ranks)

Moon and water: adds Distract (Intimidate) and Extended reach 1 to Melee weapons attacks, but only when Retsudo is able to project the shadow of his blade on the opponent face.

as head of the Yagyu clan, Retsudo has access to potentially limitless resources, tons of minions and the personal trust of the shogun himself. Usually he kept a small force of 50-60 PL5 bushi and shinobi at his immediate disposal, but he can get more within a few days if necessary

I like your Dragon heart builds, and they do look right. You thought of a few things i didn't , like the latin.
As far as the dragon build goes.. My only "Iff" is the Blast at 9.. Thats pretty powerful if your using W&W. I'd drop it down 1 rank or 2. But i do like your use of Feats, to tailor a specific attack mode. Im not sure about the Impervious.. but we'd have to wait to see it in play.

I choose to set the fire breath at 9 because I wanted Draco to hit his caps both at range and in melee, but I can see your point, maybe I'll rework it a little. About the impervious, I added it because killing a dragon is not easy business, and a Impervious 6 will made Draco invulnerable agaist the mayority of opponents, requiring either a very specific training or a very big warrior with a very big weapon to damage him.

Last week, on the 13th, Patrick McGoohan pulled his last escape, dying at the age of 80. So I decided to make my own little commemoration by building one of his most memorable characters. Which was unfortunatly his personal prison as well (no pun intended) for many years.


Number 6: Where am I?
Number 2: In the Village.
Number 6: What do you want?
Number 2: We want information
Number 6: Whose side are you on?
Number 2: That would be telling. We want information... information... information.
Number 6: You won't get it.
Number 2: By hook or by crook, we will.
Number 6: Who are you?
Number 2: The new Number 2.
Number 6: Who is Number 1?
Number 2: You are...

Complications: Enemy (Number 2), Obsession (freedom), Responsibility (knows tons of secrets), Temper


I left Number 6 combat options very vague and undefined on purpose, he rarely, if ever, fight on screen so I have little clue about his real level of abilities. His combat stats are only PL6

the PL7 is included just to let him use the full Will bonus from Dedication or Eidetic Memory

some of his feats are obviously part of his past as a spy, but are of little use in the Village

under normal circumstances it's not possible to take 10 on concentration checks, nor applying Skill mastery to it, so I remove it from the list. Even if, given the lack of superpowers in N°6 setting the only use of it is to resist torture, fatigue and pain, something he can do extremly well. To compensate oi added the Second chance feat

Complications: Enemy (Captain America and many others)


the Skull was build under two consideration, first he is one of the few master villains that lack any kind of redeeming feature, for decades he received only hate from the world, and he leardned how to feast upon it; second he should be able to met Cap on his own turf and making him broke a mojor sweat, so I decided to put the Skull in a clone of Cap's body, as per Mark Grunewald idea

the Skull's Leadership feat works in slightly different way than usual, he doesn't lend courage to his minions, they simply fear him more than the enemy

the Skull's minions works like Doom's and Kingpin's, it's a pool that can be used to simulate a small elite force or a army of nearly worthless thugs, the actual Skeletron Crew was another story (I consider them all individual NPCs)

the Undying hate power represent the skull almost supernatural ability to survive against all the odds, usually through a mind trasfer, a suspended animation mechanism or else. I'm not too happy with how it works, maybe I'll revise it in the future

about the Dust of Death, I decided to leave the whole "morphing into a red skull" effect as a simple descriptor of the effect

I included the swordcane since the Skull, like many other nazi villains, was sometimes portrayed as an expert with fencing weapons

UPDATE: Revisioned the Super-soldier serum to bring him in line with my Cap build. Revisioned the mechanics of the Dust of death and added the drawback, since this version of the skull burned his nose away

Continuing the line-up of Marvel villains, and now it's jobber time.

Complications: Obsession (killing Daredevil), Phobia (being paralyzed), Psycho


the funny thing about Bullseye was that in his first appearence he was just one of the many jobbers that plague Daredevil's life, it tooks eye and Frank Miller to make him in the psycho killer he his today

while this Bullseye might look a little underpowered, keep in mind that is created to go one-on-one against my Daredevil and Kingpin and a future version of Elektra, so the PL caps are a little lower than usual

on a sidenote, to better simulate his fighting style, he routinely uses the Feint with Sleight of hand option from the Mastermind Manual

given the almost superhuman level of skill I decided to try something new, the Hand-eye coordination array is in essence a form of Inherent array handled throught the base rules rather than the W&W rules, I'll probably make something similar for my future Hawkeye/Green Arrow builds

the Power Throw feat is based around the mechanics of the Sniper feat, it allows Bullseye to add one rank of Improved range and one rank of Progression (Range) to the his throwing weapons attacks
