>and worrying about being "too cliche"

I think it's less that they're too cliche and more that they've become almost comical at this point. I can't help but think of them as wacky comic relief enemies.

Class wise, probably a Knight, Paladin, or the Aristocrat npc class.

You could also be dispossessed having your lands taken away from you by evil forces. Another idea could be playing a Sorcerer who is kicked from his home after his innate powers area revealed.

I've found that the best way to do this is to play a noble that actually cares about the common man.

He understands that his livelihood and well being comes from the positive relationship between his noble house and the people "beneath" him. Despite his noble upbringing, he's not afraid to take off his white gloves and work alongside those less fortunate. Other noble houses think that he's a sucker, but they don't realize that years of getting fucked over by other nobles has given him an uncanny knowledge of when people are abusing the systems set in place and how to counter it.

Anyone can achieve power with enough effort, but it takes a true master to maintain that power even when being handicapped by morality.

What type of character are you shooting for? A noble can be lots of things.

He could be a spelunker looking to build or strengthen his family fortune and holdings.

They could be a warrior who seeks to make his name known above his family name.

She could even be a warlock who has made a deal with a power to bring down her rivals.

I don't know about a dedicated system, per say, but Wizards made a few Planeshift documents for DnD to use as background info for a 5e campaign.

There are a couple of fan-made adventure modules for DnD that I know of, but that's all that I can think of off the top of my head.

I had a bunch of rules written up years ago for what was basically a Magic tabletop wargame, using decks and cards as the miniatures. It was barely functional, but thinking about it, how about we try and make a system that uses cards as the basis for the rules?

So far I'm thinking a system using opposing dice pools for power and toughness, with maybe toughness also being the creature's total wounds?

First, stat out the buff you want. Add Disadvantages as needed. M&M is an effect-based system. You need to start from the end - the result of the power - and work your way back.

>>54221600
Are you talking about the Berserker armor in, well, Berserk?

I would definitely say one great way to simulate the "endurance" aspect of it is through A Reaction Healing effect that has the Temporary flaw so after a while your character would give in to the wounds. The other powers, ranging from Protection to Enhanced Strength, would probably have a Side Effect: Always 2/rank flaw ranging from the character having to resist against an Affliction equal to the effect or basically a Complication that you do not benefit from Hero Points with.

There's also the Holding Back advantage from Hero High that would also work, but there's a lot going on with that Advantage so it might not be your taste.

>>54222407
Oh, forgot to mention that the Healing would also be Limited to Self.

Can travel backwards or forwards in time, though its user cannot. It cannot travel more than 3 meters from its user's location but can be sent to that same location at any point along a timeline. May take non-living things with it as it travels, adding or removing them from that time. The user cannot see through its eyes, but it is partially autonomous and can be given simple instructions when sent across time.

>HOW DO YOU GET THIS IN A ROLEPLAYING GAME?
Which thing, unexpected practically-founded knowledge of the ancients, or retards? Because the second one is simple.

Just recruit players.

I had an evil character who did this. He defined people into two categories:
>stationary
>moving

Those who moved were people, those who were stationary were dead. This most often was not physical movement, but movement forward in a sense of one's life. Those who were stationary were went to be consumed as fuel by those were moved. He was societally cannibalistic, but sought to help all movers continue moving forward. It also did not matter what direction they moved in.

One of his biggest character arcs revolved around a holy man becoming a saint and my character pushing him towards sainthood because he was 'moving faster than the others' and 'caused others to move in his wake'.

4th for Konor Will Not Fall

>>54436398
I think it's mostly irrelevant

In a lot of settings and systems the difficulty included in killing undead is more about disrupting the evil magic juice that powers them, their own body is much less useful. It could be that a fat guy and a nonfat guy have the same amount of evil undead magic juice in them, just more concentrated in the nonfat guy, and they're both more or less just as durable and dangerous.

>>54436398

Depends on the purpose. Assuming you're being moved by muscles an undead doesn't feel pain and can just overcompensate for weight until the muscles are too damaged to move. If you need a wrecking ball putting a heavy zombie on the field at full tilt is a good idea since no matter how good your armor is you'll still get knocked to the ground. Of course once there you'd ideally have other undead to finish the target off or otherwise occupy it but a few wrecking balls never hurt anybody.

Depends on a lot of things.

For example, if I were an evil necromancer and raising tumblr-levels of diversity in body builds, I'd make use of the fat people by stuffing shit into them like explosives.
