Character Creation Costs from the X-Men Guide

[bootmobile]

((The formating of this came out pretty messy, if you go down to the third post there are links to two places you can find the original file which is much more tidy.))

Here are the numbers I came up with for the creation costs of the characters in the Guide to the X-Men. I did not include any challenges into the totals (besides mutant and dead broke)as it seemed to me it would take as long to try to guess at these as it did just to do the totals.

BTW we have a new champion! Check out Onslaught’s total! (And I think Apocalypse should probably be worth more, charging 110w for his transform self was low-balling it significantly really. Plus the only gear I charged him for was the armour.)

The worst is Anarchist at 14w 2r, only 2w 1r above a lowly Brood.

~Made the Transform worth 10w for unlimited forms +100w the rest of it.
~Made Manipulate Matter a +3 cost (+2 for extraordinary power, +1 for create/manipulate)

Nice breakdown of what the character are worth without Challenges for most of the characters.Just one thing to note is that Nathan/Cable should only get 10 stones for his T-O Virus Challenge like it says on page 53 of the Guide to the X-Men.I mean if he does get a white stone of Health infected he gets 10 additional Character Generation Stones(Unique property to his case and noted at the end of the T-O Virus entry).

I know the above is a mess but I don't have the heart to go through and format the whole thing. If someone else wants to do it they should feel free to quote it and do the formating.

The original .doc file is posted on two Yahoo MURPG boards:

But he has 2 white stones infected, not 1. If it works now that he gets 10 points per stone infected then I assume it ha always worked that way for him. After all, he is hardly a starting character any longer. If you disagree with that interpretation, just add 10w to his total cost.

You said most of the characters, are there any you think could be mproved?

[psistrike]

Oops I guess I misinterpreted what you meant by him getting a 20w Challenge from his T-O Virus.I thought you meant that the T-O Virus itself was worth 20w as a Challenge and not that he gets an additional 20w because of his 2 Health already infected.It's easy to get things mixed up like that when it's after 12:00am in the morning and you're tired.
Oh and what I meant by most of the characters is that for some of them you listed Challenges but for most you didn't.I didn't mean that you did a bad job or anything.

[bootmobile]

Yeah, I only did the challenge that were listed right there in the stats. Didn't feel like trying to guess.
