Freedom Force!

Post by Solarblast »

So it's getting rather quiet over here so I decided to go ahead and post some conversions to BASH! Now anyone who doesn't know what Freedom Force is can check out this article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_Fo ... ideo_game).

This is a really fun RTS game that captures the feel of silver age superheroes. I decided to make up some conversions starting out with the first one to be played in the game Minuteman!

Here is the next one. El Diablo, a stereotypical latino but a lot of fun to play. His powers develop more in the game which makes him a real favorite to play.

THose look good. This was one of my favorite videogames; I especially liked the custom-modules people made for it. There was a pulp one that was especially good.

Great characters Solarblast. I really like the retro-feel to them. I laughed at El Diablo’s relationship Disadvantage described as “girlfriend of the week”. When I was growing up, I had a friend with that same disadvantage (…lucky *).

I don’t want to be critical but El Diablo’s Stats total only 10 points, not 12. This is a good thing because the Martial Arts Mastery power only allows one combat benefit at level 1 (can’t have both Fast and Defensive). Now you can bump it up to level 2, add an extra combat benefit, and have 1 whole point left over to add another power!

Actually with 2 points in Martial Arts Mastery, you know 3 styles.

Sorry if it wasn't clear. I meant that only one more combat benefit needed to be added to the Defensive and Fast styles to make it a level 2 Martial Arts Mastery. On the other hand, Solarblast, if you can’t really settle on a third combat style, you could just buy Martial Arts Mastery twice at level 1 (if done that with a couple of my builds).

So what other members of Freedom Force have you been statting up?

I plan on doing Mentor later today. I want to do Man-bot except I am trying to figure out how to do the 'whole exploding when you hit' power that he has. Man-Bot has always been my favorite.

Oh and I want to thank Surbrooks Stuff website for his Champions conversions of these characters.

Here is Mentor. He is an interesting character but very much the mentalist of the group. He has powerful mental attacks but he is rather weak in close combat. Man-bot coming up next.

Mentor is great! I really like how you've combined the quote with the picture. Note: The Cortical Supression (Daze) power should cost 4pts with a medium burst. You could put a limitation on that, such as Concentration, and put it up in the mental multi-power. That would bring your total point cost to down to 25.

Ohh man, this is too awesome! I love Freedom Force, both the game and the characters. It's the greatest superhero game of all time, and it is so cool to see these guys made in my favorite RPG system! Great work capturing those three. I think they all look just about perfect. I like seeing things like this, as it helps me to better understand the way B.A.S.H. works when I see characters I know translated into the system. I look forward to seeing more of the FF converted. I hope you'll tackle Man O' War, as he's always been my favorite!

If y'all like Freedom Force, you might enjoy my own little projects. I've been modding and creating content for the game along with the rest of the community for some time. You can see some of my work here:
http://bentongrey.wordpress.com/
I've got a DC comics mod, and I'll be releasing a Marvel mod soon, plus several other projects. I've even got a Freedom Force expansion that several of us worked on. Plus, there's tons more great stuff at the community's home:

Anyway, thanks for sharing these, they are really cool!

So here is one of my favorites MANBOT. Just always had a soft spot for tragic heroes. This is a rather rough draft so any comments would be appreciated.

Here goes.
