I have had a couple of female PC's personally. One of my GMs may even back me on her being one of my better characters. The trick I have found (if playing a gender different character) is to get a couple of ladies you know and to pick parts of their personalities that you like and parts that you do ...

I'm back from basic and looking to get the creative juices flowing. Now I'm crowd sourcing topics to work on, maybe something will take. Taking all suggestions (within reason). I know the HU, PF, NJ&SS best, but Rifts is not out of the question. Do you want a character class expanded on? Premade...

I've seen characters who've run small town gyms, electrical engineers, bartenders, private comp sci consultation, doctor at inner city clinics, among other things.

I'm looking for a female Gnome priest of light for the Dragonwright pantheon. Very clumsy, always stuck in a book, carries a scroll satchel, long hair tied back, and then whatever liberties you want to take.

This topic is mainly for people who have lived, worked, or otherwise spent considerable time overseas.

Quick glance at Powers 2 and HU2... Use the powers chart from the Immortal category, all categories of immortal derive their abilities from that chart.

If you have access to the HU GMG, try pages 22-23. It lists a quick roll-up for thugs, low level enforcers, and various ruffian types. They would fit the bill of what you are after.

Wow, it's been a while since I have posted. As for your questions...

1) No

2) Unless specifically stated, they do not get Supernatural Strength.

3) No

4) They gain supernatural strength and become MDC creatures (add HP and SDC together to get SDC)

Hard to give you such advice when we don't necessarily know your villains styles. What do you normally go with? Mages, warriors, godlike beings? What? Give us something to work with there boss.

You need a button for "both". It depends... Take the moon for instance. It has no atmo and therefore can't keep a constant temp. If you are standing in the light on the moon, you are going to be very hot thanks to solar radiation. If you are standing in the black of the moon, you are going...

Judo is the equal to MA. The cost to upgrade to a different HTH style varies by OCC. Most cost one or none to change. Ninjitsu, Zanji, and Teng-Justsu are selectable only by certain OCCs.

I've taken to painting and modifying the heroclix figures (ask my open house players). I also use the large chessex vynal mat and a set of vis-a-vis markers.

SPD/1.465= mph

I see never as truly meaning never. Even if you get a skill through a scholastic program, just pass over it. One of the reasons for the penalty is combined categories can get very nasty.

Personally, I would give it to him. Some of the guild services for a thief would make use of this skill. The thief is something of a low level assasin, if they have guild backing.
