Convert my M&M Characters

[bigsteveuk]

Hi,

I am sorely tempted to get this game as I love the look and sound of it.

At the moment I am running an M&M campaign set in the Regency Period. So I am wondering what the characters will look like in this game system.

As there are some brilliant builds here, I was wondering is anyone would be willing to port my players over so I can see what they come out like?

Here are the first 2:-

Tavistock

[BASHMAN]

Tavistock
Brawn: 3 Agility: 2 Mind: 1
Powers
Disarm Expert
Keen Senses 2 (Scent, Hearing)
Danger Sense (Situational: Must be able to Hear)
Martial Arts Mastery
(Fast Style: ×3 priority/Grappling Style:/Tricky Style:)
Movement Multi-Power
Clinging
Swinging (8 squares/Branchiate)

Advantages
Never Surrender, Frightening Presence
Disadvantages
Outsider, Public ID,
Skills
Athletics/Acrobatics, Stealth/Moving Silently, Outdoor/Flora & Fauna

Notes: I didn't convert Leaping 1 or Toughness because having a Brawn of 3 makes him able to jump 45 feet anyway, and Brawn includes toughness too. Also note that if he is tracking by smell, his Outdoor roll would be x4. I didn't know what "startle" does- so I gave him frightening presence.

[AslanC]

Wow just looking at the amount of information BASH can convey with some much less text really reinforces my love of this game

[bigsteveuk]

Superb I really like that, spot on. One thing though because of his high STR he can do a thunderclap which can stun people.

If you get a chance I would look forward to see how the more complicate builds come out.

Last one....

Alverton
An excellent museum curator specialising in the Roman Empire. He came into possession of an amulet which had been handed down through time to various warriors. It enhanced his physical and fighting skills and also made him an excellent leader and tactician. It also allowed him to summon advice from previous owners of the amulet. As its previous owner was a Roman general it only enhanced his obsession with the period. He now protects the innocent and wages war against the masons dressed in his legionnaire’s garb.

By the way this isn’t some scam to get you to do my player conversions. I like M&M but sometimes the crunch slows down play and my players are more interested in story than rules. Also I find creating villains can be very time consuming. My concern about moving to a different system is the characters will lose their flavour and as it’s one of the most popular games I have ran in a while I don’t want to rock the boat.

[BASHMAN]

I'll get around to doing some more when I can. Btw- I really love your "heroes by gaslamp" vibe you've got going here!

[bigsteveuk]

Cool I look forward to them.

You see my fear is if I transport them to a new system they will lose their flavour.

But I would like to see how they play in Bash if possible.

The campaign it's self has thus far gone really well and my players have really got into character and enjoyed it.
I am not really into modern heroes my next one will be Victorian Based.

[bigsteveuk]

Hi Bashman or any other helpful soul.

I understand your busy but did you ever get a chance to have any thoughts on these?

Regards,

Steve

[AslanC]

No worries big guy, I am just off to school right now but will take a look at them tonight

Cheers

[AslanC]

Dude my apologies I forgot about this completely.

Unfortunately I am not that good with M&M so I will have to let others like Linharin and BASHMAN jump on this one.

Again my apologies for spacing this... in my own head space right now.

[Lindharin]

I'll help out, but have to run right now. I'll keep the window open to remind me though...

[BASHMAN]

Hey man, I'm sorry I forgot about this. I'll try to give it some more attention later today (wife's graduation though w/ In-Laws in town, may not get to it till the wee hours here in California).
