Basic Action Super Heroes!

I just rolled out V1.01 of the BASH! Creator character design website.

http://www.bashcreator.net

Major new improvements include being able to provide an image link for your character:


... and print-friendly character sheets:


(BASHMAN kindly gave me permission to use some of the artwork and text from the game.)

Other little tweaks include: Bonuses from Fleet of Foot power in calculated stats; Includes extra skill slots from Skillful power, and reduced slots from Age(Young) and Unskilled disadvantages; Update Danger Sense power to 3 point cost; Update Attack Weak Point power description.

Have fun creating more cool super heroes! Post your creations here and let's see what you can come up with.

I've been trying to create a character portrait for Black Chameleon using heromachine 3, but its just not working. After I added on the eyes, the program just lags too much. All I had was a body, hands, feet, head, and eyes, and when I colored the eyes, the thing started lagging. It made it increasingly impossible to add his stripes on too. Now, it won't let me add anything more.

I don't know what to do. I guess I'll just need to learn to actually draw if I want to make images of my characters.

Try the Heromachine version 2, or even the first one. It's a lot easier.

Version 1.02 released: New stuff:

• *Priority is now calculated, including effects of Super Speed, Danger Sense and Martial Arts Mastery (Fast) powers.
  *Includes Dice Bonuses and Result Bonuses; see the Heightened, Growing and Shrinking powers.
  *Dice Bonuses and Result Bonuses included in die rolls, so you'll see things like -2x3+5 (which means 'Roll 2d6, subtract two from the result as the Dice Penalty, multiply that by three, then add five as the Result Bonus.')
  *Martial Arts Mastery powers are now broken down into specific style picks. (The old versions will still work, but you won't see the benefit of Fast style on Priority.)
  *Teleport and Teleport (Gateway) powers now go up to 10 point level (previously only up to 5).
  *Growing (Density Increase) power now goes up to 6 point level (previously only up to 5).
  *Added a '10/squares per panel' note to Jump movement (if more than 10 squares).

[/list]

I think the powers from the awesome powers books need to be added. The first thing I tried to make with the program was a re-do of Lord Zeus, but I was unable to do that since absorption isn't available as a power.

I think I'll probably have to re-write some of the basics of the site before adding in content from the Awesome Powers line - there are a few poor design choices that I made early on that I'll need to root out and fix before adding any more complexity.

Plus, I'd need to consult with BASHMAN before using any more of his content. I've got to be careful to ensure that the site supports sales of the game and its spinoffs. Too much detail from the AP line could hurt sales of those products, and I really don't want to hurt the game.

Dog boy was one of the 1st super PC I ever made some 20 plus years ago. He has been reworked in many system since and has come to be a old friend He is basic brick with a lot of speed and regeneration. He is not highly skilled but can be very annoying for the villains as he just will not go down and keeps on coming. His goal in life is to be a Good Dog.

How do you insert images?

To add an image, click the Edit button on the right-hand side, opposite the character name. That will open the text boxes where you can edit the character description and the location of the image.

Find an image online (or upload one to somewhere like imgur.com), copy the link to the image, and paste it into the second textbox.

Here's an example: http://www.bashcreator.net/#/load/3z2fi

Think I got it figured out. Here is a character from my nineties champions/bash game.

Red Scorpion
26 points (14 Stats, 12 Powers )
Thomas Swing was the son of two rich and powerful art collectors who were interested in many bizarre and expensive collections. Thomas was only interested in girls and partying. This all changed when his Father Robert Swing had just received an artifact known as the Claw of Serqet. While trying to get some spending money from his parents after having been kicked out of 5th college this time around he got into an argument with his parents. However, while he was fighting with them, some men broke into the museum, attempting to rob it. They killed Thomas's parents in front of him and left him severely injured. Fortunately police showed up before the robbers could finish their job and left without the Claw. When Thomas recovered he vowed to do something useful with his life and on that day the Scorpion's claw appeared mysteriously in him room. Taking this as a sign he trained and studied getting a degree in criminology and training with the Claw. Then he started to stalk the night as the Red Scorpion!

What does he look like?

Here's a copy-paste from my word document describing the character:

He can transform into and out of his costume at will. Its a full-body costume with a full face mask that is mostly black with thick, dark-green stripes on his arms, torso, and legs. His eyes appear bright green. His costume also has an embossed scale pattern all over. The 'scales' are mosaic and are about 1 to 1 1/2 inches in diameter.

Also, he's supposed to be a teenager. I can't remember if I gave him an exact age or not. If I did, I didn't write it down. I think he should be 17.

Red Scorpion looks good; the Hero Machine portrait is nice too.

Fixing the BBCode listing for martial arts is on my to-do list; the <ul><li> stuff needs to be removed.
