Enforcer84 Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 So I'm working on a villain, he's a three headed werewolf type. What abilities should I give to represent his multicranial nature? So far: 360 senses for all but touch. (essentially: All with a -0 limitation since it was cheaper than buying everything but touch group) Mental Defense Extra Limbs with limited manipulation +2 Speed, one per head. Striking Appearance +3...Horrifying - so this is the intimidation version Now he's hit 400 pts and I'd have to massage some abilities to make changes but I could if I found something awesome enough.

assault Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 Is there a problem with his Martial Arts? Shouldn't he have at least one more maneuver, to bring them up to the 10 point minimum? 3 Trip +2 -1 9d6 Strike, Target Falls 3 Hold -1 -1 Grab Two Limbs, 50 STR for holding on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister E Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 LS: Diminished Sleep: 3 pts One head is always fully rested & doesn't have to sleep at all Roll randomly for which head is currently on shift Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comic Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 Healing (Stun only) if at least one head remains conscious he can help rouse the other two? Skill levels (from the assistance to two heads) for skills where multiple minds help -- Int- or Pre-based rolls? I might suggest Reputation would be appropriate for any triple-headed wolfman.

IIRC you can buy any number of maneuvers, but to qualify for a Style you need 10pts.

If I'm wrong or that's changed I can fix in the next edit Btb, no. But this is the HERO system, so there's no real Btb. But here's what it says: Champions Complete, p32: "MARTIAL ARTS (Combat) ... Characters must purchase a minimum of 10 Active Points’ worth of Martial Maneuvers (even if it’s just two 5-CP maneuvers). See Martial Maneuvers (page 154) for more information." From 6e1, p82: "The accompanying sidebar summarizes Martial Maneuvers’ cost. Characters must buy a minimum of 10 Active Points’ worth of Martial Maneuvers (even if it’s just two 5-point maneuvers). Extra Damage Classes, Weapon Elements, and the like do not count toward this total; he must spend at least 10 points on actual maneuvers." FWIW, you've got a neat character here, and lots of good suggestions coming in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

death tribble Posted February 20, 2015 Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 If he really is a werewolf surely some damage negation/reduction to all but silver ? And if he is related to THAT Cerebus or the Greek Pantheon some contacts/reputation or subject to orders divine influence ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enforcer84 Posted February 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 No, he's a poor schlub who got caught by mad scientists and given three heads and wolf based powers. He's mildly tough but his powers mostly focus on finding/securing. He's a security guard really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Limited only for finding things, but he's already Stealthy, so the whole thing wouldn't be out of place. Given that he's actually created by science, and not related to the real Cerberus, is his KS: Greek Mythology really necessary? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Liaden Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 It occurs to me that Duplication might be a logical Power for him to discover (i.e. as he gains Experience). Dividing into three single-headed beasts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
