There have been several games of both genres that have tried, but were immediately rejected by both reviewers and most of the public.

Reasoning: "They changed too much of what we were used to."

Then again, I feel the same way about FPS games, and mainly because I go off of what I see, since I haven't played a FPS game since the original Medal Of Honor. All of them have you go in and shoot everything you see for the most part. I know there are exceptions, but they are kind of few and far in between.

To be honest, I'm surprised that we haven't had the second one of the year already. We had all summer.......

Might as well include them too.

I once fought a Super Strength/Regeneration Elite Boss who completely and utterly destroyed me. And laughed after he was done.

I've always felt that people who say this game is too easy should give custom enemies in AE a try. They'd probably stop saying that after a few minutes.

I'm not dissing your taste of music, don't get me wrong. Perhaps it's because everyone on YouTube uses this song for everything.....but I have really come to dislike it.

This can never be said enough.

The International Club Of Heroes has a spanish character inspired by Batman.....actually, every member of this SG was. They all hail from different countries, IIRC.

It wasn't thrown out. Things between Batman and Luthor heat back up in the Bruce Wayne: Murderer and Bruce Wayne: Fugitive story arcs.

I gotta bring out the inner D&D nerd in me for this.

Since a level 20 berzerker is a prestige class (found in Deities and Demigods), it's a pretty high chance that he can cause more than magnitude 10 quakes, since you can only exceed the 10th level of a prestige class when your total class number exceeds 20.

And since a prestige class becomes epic at level 11, the main class and/or prestige classes of characters might be much higher if you ever encounter a level 20 berzerker.

Let's just say the character is level 60: Barbarian (20 levels), Berzerker (20 levels), Tempest (20 levels)

I'd total up the stats if it weren't so time consuming, and my daughter didn't grab my pencil whenever I try to generate a character.


Magnitude 10 quakes for such a character? Quite possible......perhaps even easy.

Now that I think about it, I've heard about the sheer awesome combination that is Barbarian/Fighter/Frenzied Berzerker. There was one that was reduced to negative hit points, but due to the correct selection of skills, feats, and abilities gained from the three classes, the character was able to continue fighting long after she (I think it was a she), should have dropped dead.

LOL

I JUST watched that episode last night.

I like your style. Both of my brutes have done the same thing.

Though they only go after people involved in certain trades. No attacking people who can't defend themselves, no dealing of weapons or drugs (they usually destroy most caches, but will sell weapons if the payoff is high enough)......other than that, they will usually take a job that pays well enough.

I've never been impressed with super-powered villains myself. I don't care what powers you have......I want to see what you do with that power.

And when Joker does kill powered people, it's usually those who don't have any defense against his weapons. Superman is invulnerable, so Joker shouldn't be able to kill him.

Iron Cross just had superhuman strength and endurance. Joker shot him in the head.

It goes for Batman as well when in VS forums. I'll give the edge to an opponent who is invulnerable or has super speed.....but for people without these, super-powers does not equal "instant win". A powerless Storm was able to best Cyclops and Callisto in combat, and they both had their powers. If you have no special defenses, expect a punch from Batman to hurt. A lot.

EDIT: Do fans of comics do this when watching or reading fantasy material? I've seen mortals take on gods, dragons, abominations, and entire armies with nothing but mundane weapons sometimes. Magic wasn't always an option either. If a fantasy character can do this, why can't a Badass Normal comic book character?

Oh lord, so many horrid memories of getting completely destroyed by Jinpachi.

Azazel in Tekken 6 reeks of SNK boss syndrome as well, but at least I can beat him.....

Hmm. I don't have the 3.0 version, but I have heard many horror stories....

Complete Psionic helps too.

I can understand why he did this. In the materials that I own, such as the Spell Compendium, the Epic Level Handbook, and the Complete Series, using equipment, spells, and feats in those books can downright break a game. Even more so with the Epic Level Handbook.

To respond to the limited amount of spells per day compared to superheroes: Back in 2nd edition, I didn't mind that, but maybe playing Final Fantasy games for so many years made me grow tired of it. There is a variant rule in Unearthed Arcana that lets you do away with that, and use an MP system instead.

Some super heroes get fatigued after extensive use of their powers, but I can see them having MP (or SP) in very high amounts. If D&D characters use this variant rule, higher and epic level characters shouldn't have much trouble keeping up with super heroes.

With the proper selection of feats, classes, and skills, I can see fighters and barbarians being able to keep up with Captain America when it comes to stamina, at least.

You know, I once undertook creating a 3.5 edition of Batman. Going off of everything I've seen him do in movies, comics, and the DCAU, I assigned him these classes:

Classes: Fighter, Monk, Ranger, Rogue, Ninja, Scout

Prestige Classes: Shadowdancer, Bloodhound, Dungeon Delver, Exemplar, Spymaster, Streetfighter, Thief-Acrobat, Vigilante, Exotic Weapon Master, Justicar, Master Thrower, Reaping Mauler.

Skills and Feats: There were a lot.

I didn't even finish. This list is incomplete, and didn't include epic classes and classes from manuals that I didn't have at the time. Someday, I do hope to finish.

Okay, now let's add magic weapons into the mix. Since some super heroes wield them, then it would only be fair to let the D&D characters get theirs.

I guess Epic magic items and artifacts are to be included as well......but this would be overkill.

Not an official chart, but I found a 3.5 chart for super heroes. a Strength of 30 would put someone at the Excellent range: able to deadlift 1,600 lbs. (Captain America range, I suppose)
