I think it would work just fine. I mostly put it in to give him a "wrinkle" that stands out a little - and to give myself a reason to use a bad accent.<br /><br />Benjamin - yeah I'm mainly a SIlver to Bronze kind of guy - I like a little cheesiness and you don't have to explain the cape & tights. <br /><br />I do play Champs online and I've used a few of those screenshots before. The April all-characters month had a few I believe. I like it, just not quite as much as COH. I will check out the blog though.<br /><br />ICONS is a tabletop superhero RPG. It's very light when it comes to rules so it makes it easy to pick up and play. The publisher is at<br /> <br />http://www.adamantentertainment.com/<br /><br />Mick: You're correct, but he's not really a classic brick like Thing, Hulk, Colossus etc. Plus he's a villain and I was aiming more at heroes. <br /><br />That does bring up a point though - If I was being entirely faithful to the Adamantium = unbreakable concept, A-Man should probably have Invulnerability 10. I don't really like the unhurtable character though as in-game it rapidly becomes the solution to every problem - "let the invulnerable guy do it" and the DM has to start bringing in all kinds of weird situations to offset that. Invuln 8 is a lot more playable for everyone, so that's where I ranked him. If he was going to be an enemy, or even just an annoying rival NPC, then go ahead and crank that up to 10 and run with it.Blacksteelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16289298640828309072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4999500110309022298.post-18892540042219656782011-09-10T06:48:46.611-05:002011-09-10T06:48:46.611-05:00Ultron is made of adamantium!Ultron is made of adamantium!Mickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07643591459792698515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4999500110309022298.post-56969009224038719232011-09-10T01:48:45.600-05:002011-09-10T01:48:45.600-05:00Sweet.

The pictures are from City Of Heroes, yes?<br /><br />I homaged Colossus a little bit in my own Iron Will character for Champions Online, a game you might want to check out if you like City Of Heroes. I'm doing a Let's-Play over at Champeens.com if I may be so bold as to invite you to check out my own blog. Adamantium Man would fit right in, and it's free to play.<br /><br />I admit with some embarrassment that I haven't heard of the ICONS system before. Are there print books of it, or is it an entirely-online thing?$https://www.blogger.com/profile/13699336309129281986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4999500110309022298.post-39153653377715422562011-09-09T21:54:52.255-05:002011-09-09T21:54:52.255-05:00Heh.
