-Added control electronic device and surge/short out device power numbers.

New Update! {10-13-2013}

New Update! {12-30-2013}
-Included the details of Lighting Power Control & Surge Electronic devices.  Don't know why I did not include it before.

Is everyone else having issues opening the character sheets? I had a story idea and need not only Rampart but other player character sheets for reference and cant open any of them. I'm sure Dom has them saved somewhere (please be right - lol) but was just curious if I was just me. Thanks

Hmmm...that's strange. I'll repost them either tonight, or Sun morning.

OOC: For those who follow such things. The actions and abilities represented in the Journal at this time assume Rampart has improved his Strength and Endurance one point each in the year since the Protectors were last seen 

The only sheets I can open are Rampart and T-bolt.

Hmmm...I'll try reloading them later.

Oh..yeah.. increased carry capacity equals potential increased base HtH damage.. eek!  Meh.. you can never inflict too much damage.. but perhaps for his lvl3 training he works on learning to pull his punch with a bit more skill or accuracy?

After all 3d10+2 is not ...world-shattering..

I have seen a character who can inflict 1d10{Base HtH}+1d12{Flame Power - Burst Into flames "Plasma Aura"}+1d20{Natural weaponry carrier attack - Power Blast "Plasma StarSword"}+6{Natural Weaponry}+3 Damage Mod!

[1d10+1d12+1d20+9] That's a lot of potential damage!

Hmm.. I can see your point...

Thunderbolt maxed out and "out for blood" could do...1d8{Base HtH}+2d8{Lightning 'Electrical' Control "Carrier Attack" - Electrify Body}+1d6{Sword-Katana}+1 Damage Mod!

Total: 3d8+1d6+1... not something to overlook...

But yes... let us keep praying someday we will play again!

I get a font error with the document and all I see are the words Diesel and Identity on the first page and Powers/Abilities 1. on the second page.

I also see an error about unsupported Type 2 Font which seems like it might relate to other kinds of problems, but the first question is: did the fonts get embedded in the document? (I'm using Windows 7).

well here comes background on new character


Real Name: Takoda Longshadow
Occupation: Adventurer
Identity: Secret
Legal status: US Citizen with no criminal record, still a minor
Place of Birth:  Phoenix, Arizona
Date of Birth: April 13, 1999
Marital Status: single
Known relatives: Maiya (mother)
History:  Maiya was a single mother trying to raise her son in Empire City. On what little she could earn added to what she got from welfare. Unfortunately she was tricked by GENOME into getting some of thier "pre-natal care drugs". The money was good. Tadoka was born pre-mature and a bit small. But in his  pre teen years became an avid skate boarder and played a lot of different sports with kids in the neighborhood. The only side effect from the GENOM that was ever recorded with him was the fact that his brown eyes that he was born with turned bright blue at age 12. Since that seemed to be the only change,GENOM stopped watching. Recently Tadoka was on his way home when he encountered what the police later called a "Booster Party gone bad" He was escorted home. The next morning he awoke to find himself not quite himself. He had grown overnight! His mother enraged at finding a stranger in her home cahsed him out. Now he spends some days in shelters or just hiding on the street as he learns to control his new powers. He has also had to run from what he calls "men in black" who seem to know a lot about him and his mother.  Maybe the Protectors can help?
It is indeed likely that GENOM was indeed watching the children of these mothers for a time but when it seemed all were just healthy children and that the worse effects were only limited to the mothers... GENOM stopped paying attention... maybe.
Height:   4' 6"         Weight: 100 lbs.
Eyes: Blue               Hair: Black
Strength level:  Longshadow possesses the ability to grow in height. While larger he seems to be a bit more resistant to injury. So far the tallest he has reached is 18' in height.  He also has what he calls x-ray hearing. His sense of hearing is very acute.

Careful Roger your showing your(our) ages

I didn't list any skills since he is a teen with limited "useful real world skills"  if any he should have skate board riding and tricks as a skill

I haven't played a youngster in a loong time so figured I'd give it a run. Let's hope TB doesn't corrupt our young frightened hero in training

Well Hawk here is the bare bones sheet I have so far I left a lot open for a few reasons. 1) I haven't put together a V&V character in a loooong time, and 2) I figured by leaving it open ended The GM could modify as he felt without to much crying on my end

Avatar, your character looks pretty cool to me.

sure Rog just use my Avatar pic

And the PDF!

John, Ya know I hadn't thought of that!  Well if nothing else that gives me lots of room for development. So  Dom , Majestic hey  fellas how do yo want to run this mechanically? I'm fine with whatever I did not see any special rules under house rules for the growth power

Yeah, Ranger's right.  There's a huge problem with V&V Size Change: Larger characters, when done straight per the RAW.  The only way they can ever hit anything is to get really lucky (i.e., they have a 5% chance of hitting, which sucks, especially for a PC) or you balance it out by giving them a Heightened Agility, but that can end up swinging things the other way (and make them TOO strong).  I'd work with the GM (Dom), and maybe figure out a way to give him a Heightened Expertise or something.  Either that or you have to go around picking up huge objects, which aren't always readily available (and imagine how you would feel if your brand new RAM truck got picked up and used as a brawling weapons!)

my rule book is the old paperback 1982 edition. I can't find anything either ,but that's irrelevant. As a science guy who likes some real science in my superhero world I understand that targeting at larger sizes is just 1 of the issues once we suspend some laws of physics. No matter, However Dom decides I'll work with it. If that means I'm just a shield for a while that's fine. I am currently re-reading The Physics of Superheroes by James Kakalios he is a proff at the University of Minnesota and the chapters on size change both smaller and larger are pretty cool. Anyway whatever you decide is fine by me I'll work with it. It's a power I don't think I've ever seen any one role play so Challenge Accepted !

Now I feel like a dufus. There it is in the book duh. Well maybe I can train just to offset or what will have to see what Dom suggests. I may just be a shield for  a while (Not like I haven't done that in a game before right Spyder )

you know i  didn't do points I just rolled stats but looking again at character generation section here I see I should have done that route. If Dom is cool with it I'll just put points in dex and train toward HTH while grown whatever  he deems best

Oh, and one other really annoying thing about getting an Agility of 1 (or 3, or whatever).  It means your character will only get to move once every turn.

So he'll have to wait a long, long time in combat for his turn to come around, all to get the opportunity to miss again. 

I have a suggestion...

Since your Mutant Power is only doing one thing.. that is making you look adult aged when using any level of size increase... yeah~ technically that IS a power but kinda lame for a full blown power.  Why don't you do this.. your mutant power not only makes you look like an adult.. but it also allows you to offset your increased weight from size with carry capacity at your will.

So.. if you were to grow to your full maximum size {31'5"}... you could have a Carry Capacity of 75,460 lbs, with a weight of 34,300 lbs. for a Agility penalty of -16 and a damage of 5d10 OR you could expend 34,000lbs of carry capacity to offset your weight penalties for Agility your still weight 34,300 lbs but you'd have no Agility penalty and your carry capacity would be only 41,160lbs with a damage of 4d10.  You could adjust how much weight from carry capacity agility penalties you want based on how heavy you are for a reduced amount of carry capacity and a lesser amount of basic Hand to hand damage.  But if you needed to be really strong or fight something your size you could forgo offsetting your weight with carry capacity and inflict more damage and truly be a mighty titan indeed!

I think this would be an elegant way to not cripple the character and yet limit his power on a case by case basis.

Also if you put his remaining stat points into Agility {...which since you rolled random your base agility is 16 so based on your non-size increased weight your agility should be modified to an 18} your agility will be a 24! Even at your max weight of 34,300lbs your would STILL be a 6 {22 Agility unmodified by weight -16}!

And remember a 22 Agility at you maximum weight is a +4 Accuracy to any attack you make.  That's pretty awesome if you ask me!

Avatar, I'll work up a PDF version of you character sheet this weekend, and post it here. As I've done in the past, I may make slight mods to specific powers. Once it's done, I'll shoot it to you for a once over before actually posting it to the the boards. Ranger and T-Bolt, the same goes for both you guys.

Yes sir.

Sounds good Dom

That's actually a pretty cool looking suit.
