K guys. This isn't a rules analysis/errata thread, so let's focus on trademarks.

Bob Tiger was the Spokestiger for Exxon in the early eighties.

 

ETA: Might that be a "Trademark" character?

@Hyperman.

 

Thanks for the clarifications.

 

Taking them into consideration I must say, that as a GM, I lean toward the flexible on things like Sensor Arrays. Frankly I don't see any real difference between them and the given example of a telescope or glasses.

 

cheers for the thoughts.

Re: What are YOUR character trademark(s)?

 

While I like primarily playing melee/HtH types, I can be pretty mercurial; no character archetype is "out of bounds" for me, which tends to help when trying to get a group together. I tend to decide on a character last, after the rest of the group has done so, in order to fill possible "holes" in the group make-up.

 

The one thing all my characters seem to have is an abundance of "craftiness", if not necessarily a high intelligence. It might be combat tactics, or a cold read type skill, or long term scheming - something that is usually reflected by a skill, rather than a sense or other power.

I realized recently that most of my characters have some degree of, for lack of a better term, attention-whoring. They don't shy away from the media spotlight (and in Vixen's case, being in the spotlight is her sole motivation for superheroing).

A rich, detailed history that makes it clear how a character came to be the person he or she is.

 

A logical, coherent explanation for what a character's abilities are and how they work.

 

Built-in plot hooks, whether people they're involved with or have conflicts with, or mysteries from their pasts to be solved.

Well, if we're talking non-mechanical things, I tend to go for these things too. I encourage my players to do the same when I GM.
