what to do with 1000 pt

[Ulgulanoth]

well i'm about to play a 1000 point character in a futuristic (lt10), heroes/heroic game, also the gm has allowed no disadvantage limit (so as many disadvantages as is playable... erm probably not good to abuse that)... so can anyone help me out making a good (ok it doesn't have to be a "good") hero?

[Extrarius]

If the game will have a lot of combat, I'd probably start with unkillable 2-3 (and/or supernatural durability) and extreme regeneration. Add some elastic skin and mimicry and call yourself a terminator.

If you get to -100 disads without being a nutter then good luck.

BTW you can go for a 'low' key 1000 pt dude. Instead of going all combat mad, it could be a psi with a bit of PK thrown in. That will eat into your points with no problems.

[roguebfl]

If you want a hero, there are Heroic disadvantages to Consider, Such as Code of Honor and Duty.

One Question, why style of Adventure are you going to play. then there is what role do you want to fulfill.

Just be aware you can play Supers with 1000pt. Combind with the High tech there is a lot of options.

[tanniynim]

If I had that kind of point budget, I'd go for a serious Possession build.

[Agramer]

Or you could make "Normal" guy for 600-700 points (maybe some implants Bio/hardware) and Multi-Multi millioner with his Private nasty Space ship(or fleet),some Allie Group and bankroll all adventures in your fight for:
-Galaxy domination
-Destruction of evil
-Hunting down Pirates(they killed your parents and youre sick of them)

Ofc brains to "organise/lead" rest of party(semiDemigods).
With 600-700 points you can make really whatever you like and he/she wont be really that much weaker from 1000 points ones than 150 point char is from 450-550 one.

If you go with "brains"(IQ skills) you can easily make mage/psionic on that base,just specialise him/her in limited field where hell be as strong as others in 2-3 fields...Money will do rest ;))

Who doesnt want to have his personal Imperial Star Destroyer or two ,heck or dozen with all goodies on them roflol.


Edit:

1000 points char can be made to look almost "normal/believable" OR can be Demigoods as Superman/Hulk....

[RedMattis]

For 1000 points you could start looking at stuff like:

Astral Entities (with Psionics), Psionic Supermen ("Ghosts" from Starcraft?)

Aliens versus Predator-style/power aliens

Cyborgs, Super Soldiers

Minor Gods, Powerful Spirits, Angels.

Various empowered humans, such as arch mages, Psionicists, etc.


You need to set some sort of theme before you start designing though, it's hard for us to help out before it has been made clear what exactly you are looking for. ;)

I've generated a character with 175 and she's totally not a nutter. A massive hedonist, yes, and she's got 65 points of Enemies (a warbot stalker, a company her business competes with, local free bioroid activists, and a company she's joined a terrorist group to fight against), but she's not nuts.

1000 points and you need to take unlimited disadvantages as well?

Anyway- high stats across the board; then, so that you still have a role-play game, do not make him the most powerful character in existence.

Patron with equipment always available, allies, favours, contacts, wealth, many skills, some humanising quirks.

I suggest GURPS: Lensman as a source; they are excellent examples of exalted humans, psychic juggernauts going up to 3000 points, if I recall correctly.
Take a look, it makes the head reel.

A super-powered Superman from Supertown on Superplanet (who has just been made chair of Superness at Super University) might fit the bill.

As long as he's not the most Super creature in existence, of course.
