Stacking, yeah its cool to combine.

For one thing game balance is a joke (Splugorth anyone) and yes it took nearly a decade to come up with Demigod+Mutant+Megahero+Warrior of Valhalla. You kinda end up with an awesome charater. Its nice and I dont know fun to be able to create an Asgardian that actually in game is SuperTough;)
Gming high powered campaigns is fun. How many times has a few lucky rolls decimated a party. All I am saying is We (as Gms) control the world. I can at least share the power. How hard is it to add in more fodder to combat? Or having dragons and other powerful creatures as menaces? Or a SAMAS squad of twenty soldiers suddenly speed towards them guns blazing.
My advice is share. If the Mechanoids nearly killed Posedian and The Coalition defeated Tolkeen that alone should tell you nothing is unbeatable.

At 5000 experience for 2nd level and pretty much everything a minor menace. In my heroez game everybody else is upto level 3. I figured the greater hazards of rifts would be more difficult. Traveling with a Godling stuck on the west coast in Washington he wormed his way in to a position of power with the mortals. I ran around smashing stuff, and now Desmond is level 2. Sure Powersurge can fistfight a Dragon with no magic or psionic powers to even the fight strength and toughness now seem a little outmatched, that and it will be maybe 50 to 75 experience points for the battle.

...???

Explaining while megaheroes are fun to play you really dont get much experience points smashing stuff.

I use PowerSurge as my gmpc for two groups now. The first is all level-3 they other group is now all level-2. As gm I dont give my gmpc experience when I gm. And being a beast in combat when I do play the character everything is considered a minor menace for a grand 25 xp for defeating stuff.

I have gotten over being a munchkin, finding it more satisfying to play 'real roleplayer' chars.

I like the old school ( Pantheon) Demigod good range of abilities and attributes I did go wild with the HU2 book then since I dont use magic or psionics decided to add on warrior of valhalla.

I think it makes sense in that some gods/ supernatural creatures are thousands of years old but very low level. Maybe giving experience points based fairly on the threat level opponent they face is why.

Don't even need the RCB2 to make a mega-hero DG...just the HU2 MB & PU2. The DG immortal type is a mega Hero and it can have lots of Psi powers. Without playing loosey goosey with the different settings' books.

It works well uses the Megahero Experience table. Since the character is still level-1 my ranged combat is a joke ( hardest hitting is 1D6×10+2; my longest ranged attack 495 feet) so closing the gap is a large part of the strategy.

You do know roleplaying and power of characters are unrelated, right?


Nothing says your invunerable godling cosmoknight can't handle problems through negotiation and diplomacy instead of smashing the opposition.

Exactly. The character uses Disguise and Impersonation skills to ACT the part of Hero being unprincipled he could careless about the affairs of mortals. He does like the free drinks, parades and the cheering crowds though.
