I've been playing Maya(Siren) so I usually get a few elemental shots at range on them early in a fight then save the Phase Lock for if they get too close.

At the start of a fight he'll happily pull out the biggest guns he has and blast away at opponents. As he takes damage, he'll get increasingly stronger until he flies into a rage and charges into melee to pound his opponents into pulp. The Goliath is something of a glass cannon though. He has little defense against Will attacks and a Composure attack is certain to send him into a rage. When raging, he'll randomly attack anyone nearby, be it friend or foe. Note: The Judge may decide that when the Goliath is Raging his Super Strength automatically jumps to its max (8d).nondisclosed_email@example.com (Dustland)Sat, 13 Oct 2012 15:23:43 +0000 Re: Borderlands 2 Character Buildshttps://bzenithcomicspresents.runboard.com/p727,from=rss#post727https://bzenithcomicspresents.runboard.com/p727,from=rss#post727Quick!

They hunt in packs, using their natural intelligence to ambush prey, using pack tactics and shear power to overwhelm their opponents. They live in caves clawed out of the ice and hunt in troops of a dozen or more, though these troops are mixes of adult, juvenile (treat as Henchmen), and more rarely, "elite" 'mongs of some varity. One possible use of Bullymongs in a conventioanal Supers! campaign would be having a dimensional rift opening, through which one or more troops of Bullymongs stumble through. To make matters worse, a team of alien trophy hunters come a little later through the same rift (could use th Vault hunters above), laying waste to everything in their way (most of the major structures in the hero's home town!) as they have a merry time hunting the fast moving pack and bullying the locals. The heroes have to figure out if they should help the violent hunters or deal with the Bullymongs AND the poorly mannered hunters at the same time.nondisclosed_email@example.com (Dustland)Thu, 27 Sep 2012 23:51:24 +0000 Re: Borderlands 2 Character Buildshttps://bzenithcomicspresents.runboard.com/p689,from=rss#post689https://bzenithcomicspresents.runboard.com/p689,from=rss#post689That is Great News!

Besides, unless you'd want to consider a wildly more complicated system, specifically the loot/weapon aspect, I don't see Supers! handling the crunch of the game that most people would expect. It could be something to kick around at some point though, I'd be game to explore it. As to the kid, he's taking his sweet time joining us, gonna be a long night! Thanks for asking.

Salvador, Gunzerking Vault Hunter Resistances Composure 2d Fortitude 4d Reaction 1d Will 2d Aptitudes Fighting 2d Presence 4d (Taunting) Streetwise 2d Powers Armor 4d [Energy Shield] ([c]Device) Special Weaponry 6d [Gunzerking] ([c]Requires two or more guns; Area of Effect 1d) Regeneration 2d ([c]Only while Gunzerking) Salvador is built to do damage to lots of people but he has one trick up his sleave, a Composure attack using his Taunting ability! When in battle, Salvador regenerates damage at a good rate, but he loses the ability when not slaughtering his enemies therefore any damage he still has when the fight ends sticks, and damage taken outside of combat (ie traps, weather, accidents) doesn't regenerate either. Regarding his powers and aptitudes, Gunzerking could very well have been the shooting aptitude but I didn't feel that it reflected the damage potential of the character. Taunting could be the Mind Blast power rather than the Presence aptitude if you want to limit his ability to only taunting, but come on, he's a lovable guy, right? So presence it is! nondisclosed_email@example.com (Dustland)Mon, 24 Sep 2012 15:08:39 +0000 Re: Borderlands 2 Character Buildshttps://bzenithcomicspresents.runboard.com/p682,from=rss#post682https://bzenithcomicspresents.runboard.com/p682,from=rss#post682 Maya, Siren Vault Hunter Resistances Composure 2d Fortitude 1d Reaction 3d Will 3d Aptitude Occultism 4d (Sirens) Presence 3d Shooting 3d Powers Armor 4d [Energy Shield] ([c]Device) Paralysis 5d [Phaselock] Pretty straightforward build; Maya is the face of the Vault Hunters and combines a solid conventional attack in her Shooting skill as well two non-standard attacks in her Phaselock power and her Presence aptitude. nondisclosed_email@example.com (Dustland)Mon, 24 Sep 2012 14:43:12 +0000 Re: Borderlands 2 Character Buildshttps://bzenithcomicspresents.runboard.com/p681,from=rss#post681https://bzenithcomicspresents.runboard.com/p681,from=rss#post681I'd love to one day, once the new Supers! book is out so everything's in line with any revisions that may happen. I got in a few hours of playing Axton (Lvl 12) before I returned the game (rented it). Once we get out of the hospital with our baby boy (which is where I am right now, sans baby), I'll probably buy it and abuse it during the two weeks I have off work nondisclosed_email@example.com (Dustland)Mon, 24 Sep 2012 13:27:39 +0000 Re: Borderlands 2 Character Buildshttps://bzenithcomicspresents.runboard.com/p677,from=rss#post677https://bzenithcomicspresents.runboard.com/p677,from=rss#post677Wow dude.

So next up... Zero, Vault Hunter Assassin!: Resistances Composure 2D Fortitude 1D Reaction 4D Will 2D Aptitudes Athleticism 2D Fighting 2D Intrusion 2D Shooting 3D Powers Armor 4D [Energy Shield] ([c]Device) Illusion 5D* [Deception Power] ([c]Device, [c]Only single illusion of himself) Super Weaponry 6D [Glowing Blue Sword of Awesomeness] ([c]Device, [c]Touch Attack Only) *Zero's Deception Power I would allow Zero to attack with his Illusion power since it is his way of setting up sneak attacks. While the damage is caused by some other instrument of hurting, it's the fact that opponents are focused on the illusion that allows him to get the attack in. In a Supers! game Zero could be a hi-tech hitman who uses his Deception Power to lure targets into traps, or at least isolates them so he can take them on one-on-one. If someone wanted focus on Zero's sniping ability, they could substitute Invisibility for Illusion and change the Sword to a Sniper Rifle, though it would be at 5D not 6D.nondisclosed_email@example.com (Dustland)Sun, 23 Sep 2012 21:28:22 +0000 Borderlands 2 Character Buildshttps://bzenithcomicspresents.runboard.com/p675,from=rss#post675https://bzenithcomicspresents.runboard.com/p675,from=rss#post675So, waiting for something much more exciting to happen, but until then, I thought I'd come up with BL2 characters, approximating their Supers! stats at level 5. Axton, Commando Vault Hunter: Resistances Composure 2D Fortitude 3D Reaction 2D Will 2D Aptitudes: Shooting 4D (Assault Rifles, Split Attack 1D) Technology 3D Vehicles 2D Powers: Armor 4D [Energy Shield] ([c]Device) Summon 7D [Sabre Turret] ([c]Device, [c]Immobile, [c]Only summons Sabre Turret*) Super Senses 2D [Head's Up Display] ([c]Device; Radar and Direction Sense 2D) * Sabre Turret: C 1D, F 2D, R 2D, W 1D Shooting 4D (Burst Fire, Split Attack 1D) Notes: Axton isn't a hard hitter early on, but what he lacks in punch and accuracy, he makes up for in volume of fire! Once his Sabre Turret is deployed, Axton will allow it to soften up a target before he tries to finish it off with his own barrage of rifle fire. In a Supers! game, Axton could very easily be a hi-tech merc out searching for fortune and fame. nondisclosed_email@example.com (Dustland)Sun, 23 Sep 2012 21:07:48 +0000
