Here is my first conversion atempt.
Since there are no need of feats for special maneuvers (just assign a few extra stones) the Pugilist would be difficult to convert. By his, I mean he would cost way less than your starting 40 stones. Same with the speedster, he would cost only about 30 of the 40 stones you would normally get and be able to do WAY more . . . like always go first.
One thing to note also, there are no saves really. But there are defenses, like Mental Defense, Toughness, etc. So these will often all be addressed in ONE ability rather than spread out among three. Most of the defensive feats to add to AC also can be wrapped into reflexive dodge.
So all things considered, lets go with the basics.
PROTNIK (original)
Intelligence- 2 (firmly average… this is Wis and Int combined… so average them)
Strength- 7 (can lift 25 tons)
Agility- 3 ( slighty above average)
Speed- 2 (athletic human)
Durability- 4 (one above peak human due to Durability feat and 18 con)
Total Stone cost of Stats= there are 3 red stones to each white. Int and Speed cost 2 red stones each… so 1 white and 1 red. 13 total stones for the others, so stats cost ** 14 WHITE and 1 RED **
Health- 4 (equals Durability) Energy- 12 (is 3X Durability)
(for reference, this Dur/En is equal to Spiderman or Rogue. Not too shabby)
ACTIONS:
Flight- 1 (that's right, just 1… even at a sprint, flight 10 is 22.7 Mph. Flight 1 is up to 30 MPH) this costs 1 White stone
Close Combat- 4 (this is above Spidey, and equal to Thing or Green Goblin.. but Strength adds to it so it is considerable) This costs 2 White stones
Ranged combat- 2 (this is just to account for base attack value. This only applies to weapons) costs 2 RED stones
So total actions cost ** 3 WHITE and 2 RED **
MODIFIERS:
Toughness- +4 (this means +4 free stones defense versus all damage. This is actually pretty huge as Thing and Thor have +6… this is equal to Blob!) This costs 6 White stones
Enhanced Vision- +6 with penetration costs 2 white stones
Self Contained Lifeform- costs 3 white stones
Total cost of modifiers is ** 11 WHITE **
And that sums him up basically. Total cost?
29 White stones. This leaves 11 stones to spend still. Maybe to fill in more details.
3 White stones to make him never age.
More stones to increase his super vision senses (add 2 white stones per extra sense like UV or telescopic)
Plenty of room to play. Maybe drop some stones into the modifier Animal Sense (defined as alien) to give a constant bonus. The game does not define search/spot etc… these are all every man abilities.
