Villains . . . go here: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=65 :D

Most of the citizens of Freedom City are oblivious to its existence, and most experienced heroes have only heard rumors of it. But every villain worth his salt knows about "The Arena." Years ago, the major villains in Freedom City came to an unofficial, informal truce of sorts. They decided that they needed a place where they could meet and parley that was neutral territory, a place that the heroes couldn't find and that no villain would try to claim as his own. They also needed a place where proper villains could settle their disputes the old fashioned way . . . without having to be afraid of interference by heroes or other villains. No one remembers exactly who it was who first discovered "The Arena," but for decades the derelict and abandoned oil rig just a mile or so off the coast of Freedom City has served its purpose well. Behold . . . The Arena! [link removed due to being dead] *** Okay, this isn't really a campaign as much as it is a "story starter." Villains need a place too, and this can be it. -Villains can meet there to fight each other. -Villains can go there to hold their secret meetings. -An uber-villain could try to take it over and make it his base of operations, causing all the other villains to try to boot him out. -The heroes could find it, and a big battle could ensue. You name it, and it could happen. For now though, let's get those villains dueling. We need two of the same PL to get started. But don't feel limited by that. Other villains who want to duke it out on The Arena, don't have to wait for me. Post away! Start your own stories!

That answers my questions. I'll leave it to beard from here. Great character!

VM, Beard and I were working on your character at the same time. Since he's the character guru (and beat me to the punch), I PMed him what I was going to post and he asked me to post it here. Here are some additional questions that need answering: I love the concept, and I do, however, have a few questions: 1. When you say . . . . . . does that mean that the object he absorbs has to in some way match the descriptor to which he is switching? So he would have to absorb something fire related in order to have the fire descriptor? 2. What qualifies as an "object of Opportunity?" Does it have to be sufficiently technological to create the device/descriptor he's trying to emulate? E.g. he couldn't absorb a CD payer an make a laser gun, even though CD players have lasers in them, but he could absorb a high-tech laser communication device and turn it into a laser gun. 3. With only 1 rank of Variable Descriptor, "you can apply any of a closely related group of descriptors." What group did you have in mind? 4. Same question with Pneumatic Driver, Gravitic Impeller, Reconstruction, and Jump Jets. What qualifies as a "object of opportunity"' for such powers? 5. Your 2nd array doesn't add up. It's 1 point over. Enhanced Str 10 with a -1 flaw is 5 pts. Super Strength 6 with a -1 flaw and two power feats is 8 pts. Density 6 with a -1 flaw is 12 pts. 5 + 8 + 12 = 25. 6. Your total toughness save violates PL Con +1, Armor Up +4, Armored Chassis +8 = +13

Cost: Ability 35 + Combat 30 + Saves 0 + Skills 12 (48 Ranks) + Feats 9 (I'm counting the two ranks of Incurable and the two ranks of Alt Power with your powers) + Powers 48 - Drawbacks 6 = 128 PPs. -Drawbacks: glowing eyes = noticeable (1 pt), Full Power on Hellfire = 1 pt., Phobia (Churches) Uncommon/Moderate 2 pts., Nemesis (Demon Hunters) Uncommon/Moderate 2 pts. -You still have 22 Pts. to spend. May I suggest upping your saves and/or upping your defense. -Your BAB is too high. You have 9 ranks with +2 for Attack Specialization. That makes 11. You need to reduce it by 1 or else decrease your damage bonus cap to +9. -Since your powers damages are already at PL, you will not be able to use Sneak Attack with any of them because the damage bonus would violate PL.

You are still violating PL with your toughness. You have 10 ranks of Force Field (+10) and a Con of 20 (+5). 10 + 5 = 15. Once you get that sorted out, recheck and retotal your PPs, and I'll audit it again.

I think that's a great idea. Why don't you PM hero4hire and see what he thinks? I'm just here to provide a basic structure and some pretty pictures. The rest is up to you; I'm open to anything.

FYI, I'm going to wait until tomorrow night to start the action. All of the characters are approved now, but I know some people aren't on much on the weekends (I'm usually the exact opposite). While we wait, feel free to keep posting around if you wish. I may make an NPC post tonight, but rest assured . . . the beatin' will start tomorrow night. :D
