I'd expect a Justice League Foundation that get donations from many places. The Fact that Wayne (Batman), Queen (Green Arrow), Kord(Blue Beetle), Holt(Mr. Terrific) all donate is not odd. Aquaman is not anywheere as rich as CBR says but would still be wealthy just as a ruler of a good sized city and he can do deep ocean salvage easily. So he could find a billion or so to chip in.
The team that announced the discovery of the Port Nicholson, a World War II–era British merchant ship found 50 miles off the coast of Maine, says it bore 71 tons of platinum ingots worth about $3 billion. Recent enough to not be a archeological cause the way the Spanish treasure ships are and it's bullion so not historic value. As a ruler he has a edge in the lawsuits about who owns a sunken ship. |

One question I have about the "Gizmo as Weapons" section from Supers is what would be a fair method for determining maximum effect from non-strength based gizmo-weapons? The example of building "gizmo weapons" in the section (arrows for a super-archer) use the damage from the arrows (based in part on the strength of the archer) to set the allowable point value for the gizmo effects. The text even draws attention to how upping the archer's damage would allow higher point values for the gizmo effect. But what if your weapon's damage isn't based on your strength? How would you go about setting similarly fair guidelines for the Obscure effect of smoke pellets or the Affliction of gas capsules or the corrosion damage of a mini laser torche, all stuff that Batman might carry in his utility belt and use as needed?
I have a Batman write up where I do full stats for the "major" weapons and tools, but I would be curious what people think would be allowable if someone wanted to go mostly gizmo for the utility belt weapons (since the tools are relatively easy to "gizmo-fy"). |

I'd suggest you make this a separate thread for a wider audience. This thread was to discuss a much different topic.
My comments to your stuff would be: Quote:

If you have a utility belt with 2 slots that can each hold an item with a 10 point ability, each ability that you use has to cost 10 points or less. |

No worries. Figured the question was at least tangentially on target given the discussion of variant rules that could apply to superheroic builds. Thanks for the advice anyway.

How are wounding modifiers (eg x4 for skull hit, x2 for impaling, x1.5 for cutting, x0.5 for p-) handled / affected by log damage?
I really love this idea. I've been messing around with some Supers characters that I'd statted up, converting them to this approach, and it seems like it will work really well in play. Thanks a lot, naloth. Last edited by bobbyraw; 05-24-2020 at 03:47 PM. |

I toyed with the idea of converting the reset of the injury multipliers to just bonuses, but just left them as multipliers along with armor divisors. As just small bonus they are rather underwhelming and you would have to adjust the point cost as well. Quote:

Decided to try to create a conversion table. Not sure if anyone made one here already since I didn't go through the whole thread.
Used to port values for armor, innate attacks, Weapons, etc. Only values 16+ are used for porting, otherwise use the previous value. 6-14 are only used to figure out Basic Lift. For Innate attack or Weapons 1d6 = 4. F.ex. 4d6 = 16, etc. For Strength subtract 5 from both sides of the table when figuring out the value (old & new) Formatting is weird because I couldn't figure out how to paste tables on here and had to deal with whitespace character which the forums interpreted... strangely. :(
