Building Logan (a.k.a. Wolverine)

[B9anders]

The main reason to go with Innate Attack is that Claws can be injured.

[Hannes665]

Here is an old unfinished build of Logan that I did few months back.

Note that this is a build for a Marvel game I was/am running, skills not finished. Note that I build his claws with powers, adding ST modifier and armor divisor, building 2 sets, 1 for thrusting attack and other for swinging.

I'd say Unbreakable Skeleton is enough to cover that.

This gives taste and smell rolls of 23, do they need to be that high? You haven't boosted his hearing at all.

If you get crippled, and roll 17-18 your limb will be out of action for 1-6 months. And your eyes have no special protection at all, if they get targeted it's very easy for them to hit the dismemberment threshold and be automatically permanently crippled.

You have HT 20, do you need this as well?

Anything that Neutralize and Static would stop working, or that weird-science devices would block or even steal. E.G. Wolverine's Unkillable stems from his regeneration, anything that would shut down his regeneration should probably shut down his Unkillable.

If you can spare the points Extended lifespan fits.

Doesn't stop temporary and lasting (1-6 months) crippling injuries, it only stops permanent crippling.

[B9anders]

If the regeneration doesn't do it, he'll need something to protect him from crippling injury too. When has he ever had a sprain ankle or similar?

He'll only fail crippling rolls on a 17-18, with IT:UB limbs that's a lasting crippling injury, I'd say it's reasonable for a Perk to either allow regeneration to reduce lasting crippling duration based on regeneration speed:

Find the normal recovery time in days and divide by 3 if Slow; read “days” as “hours,” “minutes,” or “seconds” if Regular, Fast, or Very Fast; or use the
Very Fast time divided by 10 if Extreme.

Or for a Perk to allow "No Nuisance rolls" for crippling recovery rolls if your effective HT is 16, meaning all crippling is temporary (What you would get if you rolled 16 or less).

The real problem is this doesn't protect the eyes, ears or nose. Do you really want to end up losing them permanently? Likewise the neck and veins and arteries can suffer permanent injury.

Generally if you build a character with lots of points in regeneration you expect to get injured a lot and if you get injured a lot your risk of being crippled goes up a lot. Generally I would recommend taking Regrowth and Unkillable 2 for wolverine builds along with Berserk to keep you active when wounded.

That's 3e Laser Rifle damage. 2D, ROF 8 and all hits add together to pierce armor and wound.

We need to check that everyone's on the same edition.

Two words: Fastball Special. Partner with a super-strongman to throw you into melee.

I thought Unkillable 2 included Injury Tolerance :Unbreakable Bones.
Also if Regen doesn't say that it heals injuries, it should.
