Eld's builds:Mr. Nobody, Thomas Rhymer, Morph Fiend

[Yeoman]

Looks alright. Honestly I'm not that familiar with 3e yet, and anime characters tend to be more complicated builds than most, but it seems fine to me.

+1 on the complicated bit. I've been trying to get a handle on how Nico Robin should work for a while now. One Piece characters just have some of the weirdest powers of just about any supers setting.

I'd probably handle it with some Extra Limbs, elongation, sensory powers (Mostly clairsentience and extended senses) and damaging telekinesis. Maybe some ranks of flight. But that's me.

After well over two decades of Chamions, SAS, Palladium, GURPS and M&M I've found your best bet with weird powers is the boil them down to the very basic effect they produce rather than try to tackle the way they produce them. M&M is particularly good at handeling stuff like that. Especially 3rd Ed, as it purposefully stripped powers down to their bare essentials.

[dwellerofthedeep]

Yeoman - I've found your point to be very true myself. I've found a lot of weird ways to use powers over the years just in this game.

Eld - I don't have any investment in One-Piece but Portgas makes a pretty neat super.

[Gremlinkin]

I noticed that you've done conversions for all of the Crime League, except for Dr. Simian. Or am I missing it?

[Arthur Eld]

Thanks for the input, Yeo. Those are mostly along the lines I was thinking, but there are details that were giving me pause. And some of her post time skip powers have me wondering where to put her on the PL scale.

Dweller, I can't recommend One Piece enough. I used to think it was weird and too childish, but now its probably my favorite manga. And there are a lot of interesting power sets for a supers game.

As for Dr. Simian, I built him when I did the Primate Patrol. His version from Earth Ape and the prime Freedom City earth are basically the same, especially in regards to mechanics.

[Yeoman]

Thanks for the input, Yeo. Those are mostly along the lines I was thinking, but there are details that were giving me pause. And some of her post time skip powers have me wondering where to put her on the PL scale.

Haven't seen enough of Post Time Skip to tell. All I remember is she can create full on duplicates.

As for PL, depends on your feelings. For me, the most I've seen out of One Piece is PL 14 or 15. The most dangerous men on the planet are maybe a threat to that planet. Given the Going Merry crew and pretty definitively not on that level yet, probably PL 12 or 13.

Dweller, I can't recommend One Piece enough. I used to think it was weird and too childish, but now its probably my favorite manga. And there are a lot of interesting power sets for a supers game.

I think the problem with OP is that the first four or five volumes are not very good. The series doesn't really start to move until Arlong Park, and doesn't get good until they get to the Grand Line.

But once it gets to that point? Imagine if Dragon Ball had an actual meta-plot that tied the entire series together, and all the secondary characters were allowed to have their own goals, personalities and accomplishments.

[Arthur Eld]

Yeah, I went PL 15 for the Admirals. Whitebeard might had been 16, though-definitely in his prime. It's tricky for Logias because they tend to have Insubstantial and Regeneration, meaning they can compete with higher PL opponents. And then there's a guy like Law, who so far no one has been able to save against his powers.

As for the series itself, i don't think the first few volumes are bad-it's just that everything after is so much better.

[Crinos]

Yeah, I wouldn't even begin to think how to do Law's power.

[Arthur Eld]

At it's most basic, it's some kind of Transform effect. But it's the level of power he's displayed that makes me uncertain. His effect is very all or nothing, which is a
lot harder to do in 3E than it was in 2E.

At least with Bleach builds, the series will be over in a year or two (probably), hopefully answering some of my lingering questions. But who knows how long Oda can keep going?

[Yeoman]

Yeah, I went PL 15 for the Admirals. Whitebeard might had been 16, though-definitely in his prime. It's tricky for Logias because they tend to have Insubstantial and Regeneration, meaning they can compete with higher PL opponents. And then there's a guy like Law, who so far no one has been able to save against his powers.

Not sure about that. 16 to me is well into the cosmic range. I tend to put the classic Defenders in the PL 13 to 15 range.

As for the series itself, i don't think the first few volumes are bad-it's just that everything after is so much better.

That's just my opinion. But I tried getting into the series twice and couldn't get past the early volumes. So the third time I just skipped the early stuff. Even then it didn't start to really grab me until Crocodile showed up. Mostly cause he's not a typical shonen fight series villian.

[Arthur Eld]

Well, its food for thought. I might maybe go back and bump Akainu down to 14, but I can't see Whitebeard as any less than a PL 15. Really, to get the results he showed in the Whitebeard War arc, he'd have to be (at least defensively) really high in PL. The sheer amount of punishment he endured, while being dangerous enough to defeat any one of his opponents at any given time?

Its the kind of thing where you have to build for the results shown, and not necessarily descriptive fluff. Then again, maybe he just rolled really well.

•Candace 'Candy' Alexander had a rough childhood, running away from home at 13 and living with a string of unpleasant boyfriends for years. One day, however, her fortunes changed when she attended a rave thrown by her current boyfriend, who was working for the Orchard, a criminal organization specializing in designer drugs and bioweapons. Their new product was tested on the ravers, with many people dieing, and Candy falling into a coma for months. She might have died too, but her latent mutant powers were activated by the drugs-she awoke stronger, bigger, and smarter than before. After that, a big woman known as Goth began working as a bouncer as well as playing guitar in a few bands before she met Sanguine, joining Hells Belles.

•Goth is not a nice person, except where her bandmates are concerned. Cross them, and you'll have someone with the strength of a tank and the intelligence of Sherlock Holmes after you. She's a simple build, but undeniably effective.

[Yeoman]

Well, its food for that. I might maybe go back and bump Akainu down to 14, but I can't see Whitebeard as any less than a PL 15.

Well, yeah, the absolute tip top guys would probably be around 15. The admirals are 14 or 14, and guys like Whitebeard are a cut above them. So around 15 I could see. I'd see him during the war as just having some drawbacks of complications related to his illness.

•Parker Psion, birth-name Artur Zion, fled Nazi Germany in the 30s, bringing his beliefs in the next step in human evolution to the United States. When his money to perform experiments ran out, he worked with criminals, promising them he could make superhumans, or give them powers. When his claims proved false, he fled, using the last of his ill-gotten gains to experiment on himself, unlocking his own powers. From there, he seduced a woman, getting her pregnant. In vitro injections and other genetic modification produced three powerful children. From there, he eventually moved his family to an isolated compound in the Colorado Rockies. Eventually, after he had five grandchildren, there was an avalanche that killed Psion's children, leaving him to raise his grandchildren to be the next generation in human advancement.

•A minor mentalist, Psion is by no means Professor X. Still, he's a brilliant man and very, very driven. He believes himself to be misunderstood by the rest of the world, and thinks that history will eventually vindicate him.

•Juliana is the oldest of the current generation of Psions, and their field leader. A skilled manipulator, her powers only heighten her natural gift for twisting people's emotions and using them as her tools. While she is rational and cold, she believes lethal force to be a last resort, and is willing to use her powers to bring her fellow Psions in line with her way of thinking. A potent support player, she can stir up tensions within a hero group and then fight from the, keeping her family healed if she thinks its necessary. Due to her nature and how her healing works, she doesn't use it as often as others might like.

•Frankie Psion is the opposite of her cousin Julianna, lacking control over her emotions, and really only obeys her grandfather and cousin because they are more powerful. She's less about logic, intellect and the mind and more about passion and drive, believing her fiery, destructive nature to be more in line with the truth of evolution. The most powerful fighter of the Psions, she burns whatever she can, will take hostages, and will often cause massive collateral damage by starting fires she has no interest in stopping, even after the end of a fight.

•A powerful teleporter and the conscience of the team, Joshua is the escape-clause when things go south. While he doesn't buy into the 'superhumans are superior' doctrines of his family, he still goes along with them because he's not very assertive, and they are his family after all. Kind of a superhuman George-Michael Bluth.

•Gwen Psion is the shy and quiet twin, sensitive to the feelings of others. While Gwen doesn't like hurting people, she sees nothing wrong with reading their minds if she feels like it. In combat, she'll use her powers to link the Psions together and let them fight with planning and efficiency without saying a word, likely taking their foes by surprise.

•The outgoing, active, tomboy twin, Carolyn looks out for her sister, even before their powers and twin link developed. While her sister's powers provide her with a golden aura, Carolyn's is silvery, and often visible when she flies, which she loves to do. She wants to explore the world, but is bound by love and duty to her family and twin sister. She's less malicious about believing in superhuman superiority, she just sees it as a natural fact. Not as tough as Ember, she's close and has a lot more discipline, which helps keeps the others, especially Gwen, safe.

•Count Zero is definitely a support player, being PL 8 on offense and PL 9 on defense. With a good use of his techno-merge power he could potentially control a far more combat-oriented machine, though. But he's best left in the back lines doing high-speed research to gain as much information on his enemies as he can.

•Erika Brandt, AKA Shadowbox is the Headmistress' daughter, and has similar powers. A depressed, apathetic, and non-violent person, Shadowbox is really only kept around because of her every growing shadow powers. She makes an excellent sympathetic villain for the PCs, and someone they can achieve a victory against by simply winning her to their side, rather than just beating her up.

•Hellhound came out obscenely expensive in 3E. This mostly because Mind Control is twice is expensive, and because he relied heavily on Sneak Attack for damage output, which doesn't exist in 3E. So he's undercapped on offense and need to power attack vulnerable opponents. But he has a lot of useful skills and traits outside of combat, so its not really a big deal.

•Eliza Brandt is a ruthless former terrorist recruited by Taurus to head up the Shadow Academy. Her shadow powers have waned over the years from when she was known as Tenebrous. A cold, cunning woman, she cares little for her students other than pushing them to achieve success. She doesn't meet any of her caps, but comes pretty close on Defense and like HH, needs to power attack to make up for the lack of Sneak Attack.

•One of the easier builds to convert, Stompzilla is just a big nasty brick who actually has some finesse in combat as well. He's undercaps slightly on offense, but since the SA are mostly still rookie villains and because he's so tough for his PL, it doesn't matter, as he's the type to AOA and PA for +5/-5, soaking most damage and being very dangerous in melee. I dropped the cost for immunity metabolic effects because I don't see it coming up that often.

•Dwarfstar's powers are actually a neat concept, so its too bad the original 2E build was all kinds of messed up, due to how shrinking used to work. I think I managed to correct most of the major problems and now the build reflects the concept, a guy who can shrink to one (much) smaller size and gains flight, super-strength, and gravity blasts when he does.

•Lolita is another build that needed some work due to all her strike powers having Mighty and thus breaking her PL 9 caps. But she works well now, a nigh-superhuman fighter with impressive martial arts ability. Due to her extras and potential damage output, she could probably go toe-to-toe with non-powered types a PL above her, like Nightwing, with a fair chance of victory.

The Psions and Shadow Academy were much needed Teen SuperVillains for Freedom City. It was really odd
that there weren't much teen villains in the Hero High book. I probably speak for everyone on the boards who appreciates your hard work converting these great characters to 3E.
