Lord Magus in S.D.C. Setting

Unread post by JTwig »

I was thinking of using a Lord Magus in an S.D.C. setting, which is no problem until you get to their special advancement power at level eight or nine when they become M.D.C. beings.

Now I have three options as I see it (maybe more depending on what you guy/gals come up with):

1) Ignore it and just sort of nerf the player out of this one power, which I don't want to do.

2) Give the player a S.D.C. boost while in S.D.C. worlds; something like double the character's S.D.C., which would give this particular character an S.D.C. rating of 80. Good for PFRPG, just so so for HU2 setting (both of which the character may visit).

3) Give the player a natural Armor Rating; somewhere in the neighborhood of an AR 10. Which would be impressive for a humanoid in PFRPG, and kind of moot for HU2 where the bonuses tend to be higher.

What does everyone think.

Wow! You really are a Munchkin Fairy? :lol:

I think I'll give him a boost to Hit Points, +30 HP, and an AR of 11. That brings him in line with PFRPG, and with many of the mystical creatures from PU2 Immortal category (especially when you consider his Supernatural PS, Regen. abilities, and extended lifespan).

Thanks everyone.

why not just use the Invulnerability limited spell as at base.

Except i'd go with a Nat AR of 12 ;-)
But that's just my personal take on this :D

Yes, but when going from an M.D.C. enviroment to an S.D.C. environment it does not scale that way. If it did then Brodkils would have 20,000+ S.D.C., or more than x10 the damage capabilities of a Abrams Main Battle Tank or a adult dragon.
