JD's 3E: Marvel Psylocke

[Thorpacolypse]

Good stuff, JD. My only question is about Thor's strength. I know you're going lower powered by would expect The God of Thunder to be able to lift a little more than 50 Tons. But I definitely like him as a balanced PL12.

I agree I'm checking my notes, his strength is 13 for the sake of lifting purposes 9 strength +2 Power lifting for asgardian, and +2 power lifting for his magical gear. But I may have to revisit ol goldilocks, and work on that. I have Hulks stats, pretty much done , but still working out my own personal kinks with the powers.

Edit: Thor's been updated for my next build to come, HULK. Then after that.. I plan to do Juggernaut.

Power Points
Abilities 62 + Powers 98 + Advantages 7 + Skills 21 (63 ranks) + Defenses 20 = 208


Builders Notes:
This is my version of the Hulk, for my Marvel Retcon. Which is more along the lines of the green hulk, he has some measure of control, and can exert some intelligence from his alter ego. Now Hulk I put on a level slightly above Thor, I really hate to say it.. But the hulk could probably flatten him out with a few good hits. Without raging, Thor has Hulk beat, but a raging hulk has the god of thunder beat, unless thor uses extra effort.

Now Hulk being able to hit someone, that is the trick! Being an unstoppable machine of damage, means he's not going to be all that accurate. But he is no slouch either.

I have always imagined that HULK, doesn't have alot of the usual Brick Immunities. But relies on his ungodly stamina instead, he can mimic all those things because he can just hold his breath for a real long time, or is just so resilient, it don't bother him like anyone else, but isn't right out immune.

I am not sure I modeled the Hulks rage correctly, any opinions or insight are welcome!

[JoshuaDunlow]

After seeing a lot of other's people's builds.. perhaps I should stick to originals. My builds seem to fall short.

[catsi563]

Nah theyre fine. You do good quality work and the builds are a solid representation of the characters. Easily understandable and playable by anyone who would use them GM or player.

I don't think that's true. Just looking back for a few pages I really liked Frodo and Thanos. I also thought that Doctor Strange's Sorcerer Supreme power and Beast's Bank Shot attack were both really cool touches.

Part of the fun is seeing how everybody does stuff differently.

Sad thing is that even with 16 Stamina the Hulk can only holds his breath for 42 rounds, just over four minutes before he starts running out of air. Two and a half minutes later will come a Fortitude save that he can't ever make. There are real people who can hold there breathes for three times that long. Similar situations with food and radiation sickness.

Having problems doing a PL 12 Magneto and Juggy

If you're trying to fit them in at 15 pts per rank, it won't be easy, although Mags should still be potent.

And please, we're all hard on our own builds. I always post something, then look at BARON's or Taliesin's or someone else's and think, "damn, I can't believe I missed that" or "why didn't I think of that?" Your conversions rock.

I don't want that Hulk to hit me... ouch.

I'm only aiming for 15 pts or as close to it for the hero types, the villains however i'm not too worried.. But in my current magneto build, he's capped at 200 tons for a perception ranged move object, cause I'm aiming to put him at PL 12 (so now Im considering a ranged move object). Juggy, I'm going for about PL 12 as well.

Yeah, I really like Prodigy's builds. I saw he had worked out a sound absorbing mechanic for his Dazzler, and I didn't even consider that.. I made it more of a complication.. That and I'm relying heavily on the Revised basic rules set of the Marvel super heroes RPG.. but with my own touches to it. Which means most of the characters will have a more 80's frame work to them (not current, since I dont read comics.. )

What makes these builds more challenging, especially are the Defensive caps. Unlike 2E which could have more ranks to them.

[JoshuaDunlow]

I don't want that Hulk to hit me... ouch.

Thanks.. I'm still gauging and getting use to penetrating. And I'm going by the book for now.. which is why I'm giving a lot of these character extreme ranks in them. Not sure if I handled his rage right..

There are many ways to handle a raging Hulk-type.

My roommate created a Hulk variant in his Titans Rising campaign. In this game, whenever the Hulk-type spent a Hero Point to removed a Stunned Condition, he gained a rank of Super-Strength and a rank of Improved Critical for his unarmed attacks. This way, his PL did not change, but his battle effectiveness did.

Here is my version of the Juggernaut. I put him in a class of the top 3 strongest characters in marvel. Thor, and the Hulk, being the other two. Now Juggy is stronger than a non-raging hulk, but can be just as strong with the raging hulk if he spends some Extra effort to do so.

Builders Notes:
Magneto presented a very big problem, and as much as I wanted to give him perception ranged abilities, I went with normal ranged powers to get the levels of abilities I wanted out of this build. I've also begin to realize that maybe I am limited my hero builds by making them playable PC's, but for now It stays.
