ok, guys I think I'm going crazy, it seem that I was able to squeeze the Big Red Cheese in a playable cost/PL ratio (ok he is 1pp over, give me a break). To be honest the DCAU version of Cap helped a lot, since it looked manifestly less skilled and more naïve than his comic book counterpart the skills are only those from his Billy persona, the Wisdom of Solomon provides him the possibility to recall others on a momentary base since the DCAU version of Cap never dispalyed any leadership attitude I decided not to give him any Inspire of Leadership feat I tried to make Cap as different from Supperman as possible, in this case Cap is slightly weaker and less tough, but hsi attack and defense are higher the Power of Zeus PF is based on Taliesin's version of the character, with some twisting by myselfNew Power Feat: Power of Zeus
You can summon a lighting bolt from the skies that automaticly search your position hitting everything in his path. The lighting operates as a Line Area Damage with a rank equal to your Strength bonus originating from any point above you. If the target closer to you beat his reflex save of 5 points or higher, or if you can't move the lighting will also score an hit on you. You can't summon the lighting if you're unable to speak.
while in the DCAU there was never a mention of Mary, Freddie or Adam (unsurprisingly given the amount of trouble that using Billy costed to the production team) I decided to keep the reduction in power caused by the presence of other users. When this happens all the users suffers a immediate -1 penality to checks, Attack and Defense paired with a immediate Drain 2 effect on all their powers - except for the containers, the included powers are affected instead - the mechanics of this are base once again on Taliesin's ideaby Aboleth11 » Tue Oct 26, 2010 9:43 am

Grundy was fairly simple to put together, I simply pictured an undead version of the Hulk and balanced him to be able to gave Superman a hard fight. Grundy is the strongest and toughest DCAU character I've done so far, but he obviously pay it in terms of precision making Grundy a full undead is a bit of a problem since in "Injustice For All" the Joker was able to knock him out with a gas gun, personally I prefer to credit it to having the Joker developing some sort of special gas (or simply power stunting) due both to the physical similarities and the Defenders nods, the DCAU Grundy was much closer to the Hulk than to his comic book counterparts, I decided to leave the Uncontrolled resurrection effect both as a reference to his final appearence in "Wake the Dead" and for those who want to put together a lower level Grundy (in the style of "The Long Halloween")by HarperRedMage » Wed Nov 03, 2010 8:51 am

for Etrigan I decided a slightly different approach than usual, rather than making him a normal powerhouse I tried to keep him as balanced as possible, creating something similar to my Beast build a sort of high precision heavy hitter the PL was based on the idea that Etrigan should be able to bring down Morgaine one-on-one in theory Etrigan should be able to project hellfire as bolts, lines or explosions but, given his preference for hand to hand combat, I prefered to relegate those effects to power stunts

the comic book version of Etrigan and Blood is quite an unbalanced match in my opinion, given that Etrigan is as intelligent as Blood and overall a lot more powerful, this makes Jason useless except as PR. The DCAU version was a lot more lenient to Jason, making him a lot more valuable member of the equation Jason was really great to build, being a magician that doesn't have combat as the main focus, Blood can pull out some great tricks (even if he is still far behind the powerhouses like Fate or Zee) for the combat stats I matched Jason with his former brother-in-arms sir Justinby Woodclaw » Fri Nov 05, 2010 9:05 am
oh man, the Android surely was tough client, figuring out his powers was quite easy (thanks Variable structure), but everything else is guesswork, as far as we know before meeting Luthor he could have been mute I'm not sure the Android can duplicate anything behind powers, given the fact that he didn't duplicate Batman's skills and arsenal. My guess is that prof. Ivo programmed some sort of priority list for his creature, giving powers a higher priority in combat situations, so the Android decided not to "free memory" by deleting powers to get anything from Batman the above stats and PL are obviously for the Android in its Blank Form a later version will include a mix of powers and bonuses from Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Flash and Hawkgirl a later version of the Android - after the events of The Return - is pointless to stat since he became something in the area of a PLX. Actually a friend of mine noticed a funny detail, given that the residents of Fate's tower were a reference to the Defenders, with Fate for Strange, Aquaman for Namor, Grundy for Hulk and Hawkgirl for Valkirie and/or Nigthhawk, the later Android could be the placeholder for Silver Surferby Woodclaw » Wed Nov 10, 2010 11:02 am

surely not your usual wizard, Harry was pretty difficult to put together since many of the basic concepts about the Dresdenverse's magic don't translate well in M&M usually I saw Harry built at PL10, given the nature of the character (and the amount of punishment he usually suffer) I prefered to downgrade him a couple of PLs, making him more of a street level magician. To do so I left out pretty much all his upgrades (shadow of Lashiel, Hellfire, Soulfire etc.) this can be considered a baseline version of Harry open for upgrades I only gave Harry a single rank of Luck, considered the amount of complications he packs he should be able to collect more HP on the run for a while I was tempted to stat Bob as part of Harry's home, but given the portable nature of the skull I decided against it

continuing my Dresden Files builds, Murphy is a bit of a disappointment to me. While I love the character and all the stuff, having a PL6 cop isn't something I like - especially since I was trying to downgrade the Dresden Files characters to street level - but Murph is just that good (admittedly some of her stunts might be considered exagiration due to Harry's lack of proper combat training) not much aside from that, Muprh is lean, mean and can use any normal human short of a special forces soldier and many supernaturals to mop the floor since Murph is a pistol markswoman I think it's safe to assume that she had modified her service gun to better fit her need (making it masterwork in the process)by Thorpacolypse » Thu Nov 11, 2010 8:27 pm

I really see Harry and the main characters at the levels you're building them at, I just put them higher to have them fit in my combined setting. I think Harry is about PL9 by the 5-6-7th books, but starting Harry in Storm Front is pretty much where you have him.

It's a great fantasy setting. I really need to pick up the Dresden RPG.
