>>>How long would a Salamander without his armour last when fully submerged in lava?
Salamanders a resistant to radiation. Not fireproof.
>>>Is Sly Marbo a perpetual?
No.

Kit and tiny nails.

>Salamanders a resistant to radiation. Not fireproof.

Well, and fire. They are naturally resistant to fire.

However, throwing one of them in lava is like taking a bulletproof vest and firing a 225mm howitzer at it.

Sahuagin comes to mind, and could be especially terrifying if you beef up the killer shark aspect. Nomadic and vicious predators.

I think mindflayers could work too. Re-fluff them as extremely sharp and malevolent cuttlefish people and have their psionic powers instead be hypnotism from their skin flashing colour and light.

>>51452063
yeah for sure. Currently flicking through the monster manual online but sahuagin look cool. Definetely making them less murloc, more crocodile.
Love the cuttlefish mindflayers

I'm a fan of Kenku southseas pirate armadas

It doesn't get much more economic than looting tombs and robbing dragons.
Much more exciting than selling apples, too.

You fucking serious, m8?

Just ask her to marry you, dude. You don't need to incorporate this shit into it.

>>51449474
But I like her more when she's in character.

>>51449440
You could always send your superior officer a letter asking for a requisition of theor hand in marriage, but I think that violates fratenization laws.

>>51448155
Earthdawn
Dark Sun (once you read the deepest lore and discover that the setting is post-post-apocalypse.)

Scarred Lands?

>>51448155

Greyhawk, Blackmoor, Mystara. It was a common theme in early D&D.

Try not to have combats that are just straight slogfests, and don't be afraid to have some jobber enemies to insure that your players feel powerful as superheroes (if that's what you're running). even if you're not gonna do that, be careful how much toughness you give an enemy.

Be sure to have a secondary goal in mind (saving civilians, shutting down a volatile machine/bomb that will cause more harm than good if its destroyed the old fashion way). Play to a character's strengths, then their weaknesses, but give them opportunities to shine.

Also, big one for this system: Descriptors are important. They determine the nature of a power outside of its base effect.

Some powers might not work the best for a certain campaign concept.

>>51447988
The game is more fun when people go for a coherent character theme than a grab bag of the best powers and abilities available. Try to have your players describe their characters' abilities and how they all work before touching the mechanics.

Oversee the character creation process, and be fully aware of what each of the characters are capable of doing. This is more important than anything, because M&M lets players start off with abilities that can flat out invalidate problems you come up with. Find out what your party can do, and then build around that.

Building on the previous point, watch out for the Variable power or Alternate Effects that lets characters invest their PP on the fly; most GMs flat out ban it, but it's alright if it's used in moderation, like an elemental hero who gets a different movement-themed power based on what element he is.

Watch out for the Modifiers section that can add extra effects to existing powers, or anything that might let players cheese their way around the power level cap. I've seen characters use the Subtle modifier to convince their GM to let them always have surprise attacks in order to maximized their chance of hitting, or the Indirect modifier (mixed with a few other abilities) to attack any problem from anywhere in the world.

Finally, and generally just building on all of this, don't let your players bully you into saying 'yes'. Mutants and Masterminds isn't designed to be a perfectly balanced game, it's designed to be high-flying adventures that lets people make their superhero right out of the gate, which means your job of making sure everyone is balanced against each other is more important than ever.

>>51448268
Good call with the secondary goals. One player character has a really strong power (water control 20) with a built in weakness (water must be contiguous, electrocution). We'll see how often I need to abuse him and vice versa.

>>51447770
Many of the "poisons" in my games are just secretions extracted from toxic creatures. So basically anything from localized numbing to the ability to completely paralyze a dragon. You just need to find the right creature. Potions are much the same, just various mixes of plants, minerals and fungi.

>>51447770
All potions are different for instance.
>Tears of angels + ashes of saints = immune to unholy. permanently.
>Blessed potion = numbness.

Since symbols do not cancel when crafting, how would you resolve the Gambler's Double or Nothing trait?

>>51444417

I think symbols do still cancel when Crafting - this is how it's not completely broken you have to have the right talents and be really good to pile on all that Adv.

I've heard that as a houserule before though. It's just gonna be quirky as fuck.

Remind me what Double or Nothing does?
