I'm using the DNPC Stark International to reflect the rivalry with folks like Stane. I think when Tony gets the heart transplant... I dunno if I'll replace the points with something else. In a game-sense, that heart operation feels a lot like someone buying off a disadvantage, after all.

Yep. Mark I - The Original Armor Mark II - The Golden Avenger Mark III - Pointy-Head Armor Mark IV - Proto-Classic Armor (Rivet-head) Mark V - Classic Armor I'm using the Advanced Iron naming convention, so I think we'll get the Stealth and Space armors as Marks before the Silver Centurion armor makes its appearance.

Agreed about 'Reduced Penetration'. It's a hold over from the first model Repulsors, and will be removed for this version. I was trying to reflect that IM usually uses both hands for the blasts, but I'm figuring that by the point of the Classic Armor, he's just good enough with them that the RP limitation doesn't apply anymore.

Gah, that was fast! I think the CU provides a nice base-line, though thinking about it, I probably should step back and perhaps move Iron Man and his Classic Armor up from Standard Hero to Powerful Hero levels. And, around the time of Silver Centurion, up to Very Powerful levels. Something to ponder over the weekend. Thanks!

Nope, Mark IV is rivet-head, which admittedly isn't much different from Point-Head, but does have some improvements. As for Mandarin not being separate... he could be, but he doesn't make enough appearances to justify it, I don't think. Of course, at this point, the 20 pts he'd represent as a Hunted is secondary. As for the power level, I'm trying to fit him into the Champions Universe model, and I think he's still working around 'Standard Hero' power levels in the early days of the Iron Man comic (which is what this tries to reflect). Around the time of the Silver Centurion Armor we'll see a -significant- bump in all the power levels, probably into the 15DC for the blasts and his STR gets to 55 with a boost into the 60-65 range. But Iron Man's strength is more his adaptabilty and skill at finding a technical solution to the problem, rather than blasting it to bits. So raw power is less important than the other stuff, I think.

Classic Iron Man Okay, this is my first pass at the Classic Armor. The VPP takes care of some of the one off things Iron Man does (mirror images, sonic disruptions... that stuff).

*laugh* Yeah, I snagged it from your other post of it. It's relevant, though I also have the old binder-ready Marvel SuperHeroes stuff, plus the Marvel SAGA Avengers book and the Handbook and Deluxe Handbook entries to look at. I just need to dig up a copy of the Iron Manual, and they need to put out a 2nd volume of the Essential Iron Man...

Okay, apologies for the site not getting an update recently. The day job has gotten "interesting", the part-time job doing freelance RPG writing has picked up, I've suddenly acquired a social life on Saturday nights, and I've been in a tizzy since I found out that Robin Laws (who I know!!!) is writing IRON MAN for the moment. I've got a draft of the Mark V armor that needs tweaking (Rivet-head), and then I'll be doing the Classic armor up... which is going to be the most complicated conversion. I'll likely post a draft of that here, for comments and help working out some of the bugs. And if you haven't picked it up, IRON MAN #65 was actually pretty good. Manages to work in just about everything you'd want from Iron Man short of a battle with an armor-clad Communist.

My latest attempt at a Brick was my entry in the Name the Hero contest. Might -- a 6' 11" basketball player who, invoking an ancient Lemurian ritual, would shrink down to a 5" tall, STR 65 flying brick. I always liked the image of a 5" tall guy swinging around a car like a club.

So do you think you could buy skill levels only usable with Crammed skill? That might work pretty decent to reflect a 'downloaded' skill set.
