Tail Swipe- Melee weapon attack, +8 to hit, 40ft. Hit 32 (3d8+ 2d6) Bludgeoning damage.

This is just stats, a story could be based around this creature, but it asks for stats alone.

Huh. A /stat/me thread I actually need.

Anyone have any idea what the stats would be in Hero System (champions complete preferred) for this guy against an army of fantasy orcs and a bunch of heroic/super heroic characters?

Here's a better OP picture.
Powers include:
>Macrokinesis (water): able to sink sizeable islands and large tracts of land.
>Has an "afterimage" made of solid water which he uses in effect with his bursts of super speed to send blasts of water at ranged foes.
>Is literally the fastest thing alive when swimming
>Super strength
>Super durability and regeneration in layers. The layers have higher and higher durability and regeneration the closer you get to the core until it breaks physics on the molecular level (I.E. No gaps between molecules).
>High intelligence and battle prowess. Will remember you.
>If you don't have super durability you WILL die when it hits you.
>No weak spots

Fuck. Forgot image.

You forgot that it's got a measure of super speed to be able to move so fucking fast for something that's like 40 feet tall.

>>48888310
I've always hated calling things like that super speed

Super speed implies that the thing is unnaturally fast like something is speeding it up (like flash tapping in to the speed force). Leviathan is just so strong and basically swimming everywhere so it's simply moves that fast

>>48888226
Sounds like some kind of Naruto OC.

>>48888576
One of the characters from the universe has the ability to give himself powers subconsciously to match threats.

The Endbringers are literally his OC because he just wanted to be a big damn hero and his subconcious created kaiju for him to be challenged by and eventually save the world from.

In-universe he is basically Godzilla, every time he (or she?) appears everyone gets together to fight it off because otherwise it will destroy major landmarks and in the worst case sink whole seaside countries.
So yeah, overpowered as fuck.

Another topic:
Stat pic related.

>>48887826
http://worm.wikia.com/wiki/Leviathan

like the other Endbringers, he has absolutely insane durability. His body is onion-like, built in layers that get exponentially denser and tougher as you move inward. Each layer is twice as tough as the layer directly before it - which makes it is as tough as every layer that came before it combined - and Leviathan has two hundred of them. All told, he's about as tough as a galaxy.

Bruh don't get fooled by the fanart, for some reason people get this wrong all the time but the endbringers aren't actually that giant.
Leviathan was about 10 meters tall, Behemoth around 15 and Simurgh 5 meters, they are by no means giant.

>>48890053
>15 meters tall
>not giant
Pick one.

I mean, the fan art shows them to be like 20 stories tall, but 10-15 meters is multiple stories tall.

>>48890053
http://worm.wikia.com/
>Behemoth is over forty-five feet tall
>45 feet equals exactly 13.716 meters
This is seriously fucking me up right now. As an european with no experience with the imperial system I always just assumed that 45 feet just means "fucking huge".

I saw someone do a write up on all the undersiders that was really good. I don't think they started all the endbringers though.

If probably do mega scale transform for the flooding. If I were going to use him in game I'd write him up, but stating a character at what is essentially cosmic level takes some work.

Unless the player characters are at that level too, if just stat since if his effects. Even the super heroes in the setting basically just try and slow him down till scion shows up.

An army of orcs would be a minor distraction at best.

>>48890053
10 meters is still larger than any living land animal on the planet.

>>48890421
That's exactly what they're planning. Orcs, demons, and zombies as cannon fodder while fairies, celestials, and basically every single other mythical creature faction teams up on creating decisive strikes to try and fuck it up enough that it leaves. Throw the players in there as the X-Men style class 4-5 mutants and you have a picture.

Your setting is too wierd for me to care.

>>48888226

Don't forget that the entire body is just a non-living shell, and damaging it doesn't hinder him in the slightest.

The 'real' leviathan is a core deep inside the body and requires a form of attack that can punch through space/time/dimensional boundaries to actually injure.

>>48889579

I ran a game set in Russia about a conspiracy of hardcore commie capes trying to restore the Soviet Union.

It got pretty bananas towards the end.

>>48890897
>requires a form of attack that can punch through space/time/dimensional boundaries to actually injure.
are you referring to attacking the shard, or using the calculations from the one chapter that a fan extrapolated out.
Because the author clearly just came up with number and didn't bother with working out the scale. Apply the same rules for Sci-Fi authors giving numbers with no sense of scale.

>>48890871
I honestly stopped caring about the setting making sense when I realized everyone in my group just wants zany shit in our game. So I made a modern day game, set in Salt Lake City, with every fantasy race the players thought of (but only humans for PCs), and often interacting with the alternate planes of magic via a comically acted Superpowered "Beverly hills" fairy. Yet, everything magical is hidden in a barely hidden "magical underworld" commonly accessed through back alleys, flea markets, and shady bars. Heck, half the NPCs are stolen out of novels and the other half are made up on the spot with the players putting in their two cents.

Seriously, i have never played a less serious game in my life and I'm loving every minute of GMing with these guys.

>>48889579
Been running a worm-like dark champions game.

Since seeing hero system write ups, I've been seriously tempted to have some of the undersiders make an appearance.

>>48889579
you could probably get away with starting Superhero Tabletop: Worm Edition threads, as long as it had something to do with finding systems / statting characters / making a system

>>48890732
But to be fair, that's just attempts at humanizing death on legs.

>>48891002
I wish I had a group like that. I'm stuck with two autistic men who religiously track carrying capacity for the whole party and were shocked/enraged when the GM gave a magic item not already in a published book.

Street level micromanagement could also be fun as fuck.

I wonder if the Siberian could solo, mabye even kill, an Endbringer

>>48891587
Drive off? Definitely. Kill? She wouldn't.

>>48891501
It would be great to have street level micromanagement for villains. You could have a map of the city that the players are constantly updating as territory shifts.

>>48891587
She doesn't have the damage output to stop an endbringer. She could tank the damage but not really stop them.

Probably wouldn't be able to reach Simurgh and Leviathan could probably dodge her too (which could possibly still be a nice distraction). but I see no reason why she couldn't drive of Behemoth, except of course that S9 could never arrive to any endbringer attack on time because the local PRT would try to stop them from getting access to the local movers.

>>48891669
I was going to bring up how she could bring down buildings just by drawing her hands across the walls but then I realized that her tackling an endbringer would just cause it to fall over with minimal damage.

>>48891669
The Siberian's ability is ultimately a Breaker projection. Said projection bypasses everything. It would tear chunks out of an Endbringer,just like Fléchette did, only with whole trucks or something humongous like that.

>>48891587
If she got close she could, but she lacks a movement power so once the endbringer realizes she's a threat after cutting off a rapidly-regenerating body part they'll just avoid her. Remember that she has hurt invulnerable characters and has, and I quote, "Casually deflected hyper-dense projectiles with gravitational fields so intense cars were dragged behind it".

>>48892658
Last we see of her, she's with Panacea and still a SAN check.

Because Panacea is both broken and an asshole while she clings to rules that make her an asshole to avoid being one.

All damage is non-lethal. As soon as It takes 1 or more HP of lethal damage it immediately flees.

Oh shit I read that wrong, you are right.

So how strong exactly is the Endbringer physically? How much can it benchpress?
Can someone further explain the layers of defense on the guy?

He's a jobber.

>>48898818
Endbringers have unknown amounts of strength because they sandbag.

Each layer is denser than the previous, down to a core where it is "like the compressed mass of an entire galaxy" to quote the author.

The entire body is nothing but bait. Blood, limbs, etc. are useless. The only thing that actually matters is the core, which does portal-hax to let the endbringer do what it does.

>>48899048
Cool. So is it ever revealed where they came from? All I got from what I've read so far (a few pages after Scion went on a multi-dimension genocide and weaver woke up) is that they were never human and the simurg came to earth and isn't doing anything for some reason. Are they animals that got a share of the same massive "shard"?

Strongly implied to have been summoned by Eidolon subconsciously. His power gives him what he needs, and he needed worthy opponents.

Lol
Cockroach 28.5

I could hear a squeak from beside me. I expected it to be Imp, saw it was Shadow Stalker, instead. She clutched her crossbow in both hands.

Fins. Leviathan had fins.

They were like blades, points sweeping backwards. A fin rooted in the side of his arm, from wrist to elbow, the point scything back. Had it not been limp enough to trail on the ground, it might have reached his shoulder. More at the sides of his neck and along the length of his spine, forming an almost serrated pattern where multiple fins overlapped. Perhaps some at his legs. The fins ran down the length of his tail, and ended in a cluster at the end, like the tuft of fur at the end of a lion’s tail, exaggerated many times over in size.

>>48891669
>She doesn't have the damage output to stop an endbringer. She could tank the damage but not really stop them.

If she could walk up to their core (as in, find where it is and the endbringer let it happen) she could do it.

>>48903548
Pretty sure if anyone was actually close to killing an Endbringer, they'd go all out ala Weaver 9. Manton still needs to breathe.

You are confusing who's controlling who. Best case scenario, she is just bored and therefore follows along to pass the time.

Scion is different, for obvious reasons.

For comparison, the DC splat for Mutants and Masterminds places Darkseid, Superman, and Captain Marvel in the 20 stat-point tier.

It most likely can't. Iron Man would most likely lose a 1v1 battle against Leviathan (unless he switches to the newer marks or the marks designed to take on stuff like Thor or the Hulk) but Thor would drive it off by himself.

I wonder if Superman could fight Scion.

How many capes usually manage to teleport on-site in time for an Endbringer attack?
Seems like a pain in the ass for the GM to keep track of them and describe what they are doing during the fight. Plus having to come up with a name plus power for all the supporting capes, although I can imagine there probably already is a list somewhere online with ready made capes for that.

>>48904847
Before Leviathan (when they started to have prediction systems), probably less than 200.

>>48904862
>>48904847
I'd say <80 before Prediction systems, <200 after.

>>48904862
>>48904895

The prediction system probably didn't actually raise the number of combatants. It just made it possible for them to be there early, so they could set up rather than just join the fight as they arrived.

Before the prediction system the local capes probably had to carry the fight on their own (thus the importance of villains stepping up to fight) and reinforcements joined as they arrived, probably the whole way through the fight.

Leviathan shouldn't be statted until the players and their allies have a high chance of managing to kill it.
Instead, present the encounter as a series of skill rolls based on what the PCs are doing in the fight, rewarding good decision making and rolls with saved lives and not dying. Dying should be a very real possibility whatever role a PC has: frontliners are obvious, ranged attackers are often targeted, search and rescue have to deal with flooded and ruined environments and tsunamis, medics and tacticians are only safe as long as the others can keep it in check, which is very hard. Leviathan is fucking fast.

>>48905055

After Scion dies, new capes keep appearing. Who is delivering those shards?

>>48909253
The shards can reproduce if I remember correctly. There's also still shards hanging around that hadn't attached to a host yet.

>>48909311
yep. Shards grow through their connection to a host and divide once they get strong enough, which is the explanation for how super's kids always have powers.

>>48909741
and also that one kid that Skitter took in with the bird powers

>>48909776
yeah, they jump to nearby people if there's no other convenient way.
They're literally an extradimensional virus, so it makes sense

>>48909812
yup,
means that even though the initial plan of the Worms failed, in a long time, the shards may recombine into a new series of worms to start the great cycle all over again...

>>48909863
it's not even a question
the pair that crashed into earth was just one of countless 'clones' of the original/final two 'victors' of the species that birthed the worms. The cycle continues in the rest of the universe, even if it's been beaten on earth.
not to mention
since Taylor's shard was in the process of turning her into a worm-like entity after it was jalbroken back into it's full 'core wormmind shard' power, it's entirely possible for someone who received one of those shards to transform some day
and, on the vague 'up'side
There does seem to be a rogue element to the worms; whether it was a hidden survivor from the originating conflict or a clone turned rogue, the worm that got Eden killed is the reason earth ever had a fighting chance

>>48909932
Eden got distracted by the shiny and got herself killed.

regardless of other things...can I hope that someone will pick up and continue with Capes over Rain City?

it was a pretty good quest.

>>48909932
> the worm that got Eden killed
Did so by accident.
Worms share shards by ramming each other. When Eden gave the Third the shards, she kept the ones she really wanted. After that she started running simulations of the optimal future with those shards, realized one particular shard had a problem and was trying to fix it when she pancaked herself. Then she found the problematic shard in Contessa's control, fixed it, but did so too late to prevent Contessa from seeing how to kill Eden and Scion.

A bigoted paranoid intransigent PRT Director and war criminal was giving a press conference on Alexandria, known Simurgh bomb.

"Before the speech begins, you must get on your knees and worship Alexandria and accept that she is the most heroic parahuman the world has ever known, even greater than Scion!"

At this moment, a brave, loyal, pro-secessionist Undersider who had served 1500 patrols of the Docks and understood the necessity of escalation and fully supported all ethical decisions made by Skitter stood up and held up a map of Brockton Bay.

"Whose territory are we standing in?"

The arrogant Director smirked quite soldierly and smugly replied "The United States of America, you stupid terrorist!"

"Wrong. It's been 4 weeks since Skitter claimed the city for herself. If it were truly the territory of the United States, and Alexandria is as you say, the greatest hero ... then she should have defeated the Undersiders by now!"

>>48889579
>>48911772
The PRT Director was visibly shaken, and dropped his service pistol and copy of the PRT Charter. He stormed out of the room crying those PRT crocodile tears. The same tears bureaucrats cry for the "peace" (where villains live in such luxury that most avoid the Birdcage) when they jealously try to claw justly earned monopoly on the legitimate use of physical force from the deserving parahumans. There is no doubt that at this point our Director, James Tagg, wished he had overcome his post-traumatic stress disorder and become more than an obstructionist commisar. He wished so much that he had a Cauldron vial to swallow out of embarrassment, but he himself hated parahumans!

The audiences applauded and all defected from the Protectorate that day and accepted Skitter as their feudal lord. A giant Hercules beetle named "Atlas" flew across the city and perched atop the Protectorate oil rig and urinated on it. The unwritten rules were read several times, and Scion himself showed up and granted powers to the whole citystate.

The PRT Director lost his mind and was fired the next day. He encountered the Slaughterhouse 9 and was trapped in a Grey Boy loop for all eternity.

Copacetic.

>>48912641
depending on the version superman has done various impossible feats that go beyond "punch harder", somewhat notably dragging a wormhole inside-out to stop a few gods from getting away.
Still is nothing against Path to Victory, but at least it'd make Sion have to blow the energy to use it.

>>48916502
Not much basis for it. The Administration shard is used by the entities to manage the other shards. Khepri's mind was deteriorating to be more bestial and instinct focused, with a penchant for conflict, but Contessa was still able to communicate with the "real" her, albeit with difficulty, implying that the shard was becoming more Taylor-like just as she was becoming more shard-like, effectively swapping minds. There IS a fairly popular fanfic (YMMV) where that does happen, sometimes people confuse the two.

>>48916591
>super man moves fast?
>>48916463
>Just use Grue's darkness


I think the point is that the Entities have MANY ways of dealing with such as he.

>>48912839

Okay so basically Scion's biggest problem is the absurd scale of DC superspeed, far beyond anything in Worm.

Now don't get me wrong, Superman's strength is also beyond the city scale non-Scion Worm powers worked on at the best of times, but it's the speed that's practically unsurmountable.

Scion would straight up not be able to react to a superman going all out because of the crazy ass speed, but then again, most of Scion isn't in this universe, he's an anglerfish lure. Basically, he loses a fuckton of mass, PtVs, then realises he has to just leave for another dimension.

Can he kill superman? Well, if one of his bullshit powers lets him mimick Kryptonite radiation or red sunlight, sure. He'd need to leave, start emitting the required radiation, then pop back in.

>>48916597

K. Link to fic? Might at least skim it out of curiosity even if I turn out not to enjoy it as a story.

>>48916618
Yeah, Worm capes are usually still restricted by lightspeed if they don't teleport.

>>48916655
Copacetic on SpaceBattles. It starts out with her being powerless and learning to live normally after GM, but quickly devolves into pure stupid after she gains "back" her power.

So how the fuck did Greg figure out Taylors identity? He had basically no interactions with Skitter beyond seeing her on the news. It almost seems like he just randomly decide that they are the same person to fuel his daydream of being a cape sidekick (because Taylor would totally want to hang out with him because he was always so nice to her) and through dumb luck got it right.

>>48916655
El-Ahrairah on SpaceBattles also rides the mind-shard-swappy fannon train right to sillytown
But it's more of a chore to read.

>>48916960
Wan't he a kinda-sorta creepy stalker? He was probably one of the only people paying enough attention to Taylor to notice that her disappearance from school coincided with Skitter's appearance.

>>48916960
Similar build, hair, maybe posture and mannerisms, but that's less likely.

But yeah, mostly because of daydreams and being a creepy stalker.

>>48916707
Copacetic was good. Emphasis on "was".

A lot of the rules are still a work in progress so you have to house rule a lot of the still missing parts.
But the power creation part, which is the most interesting part of the system, is essentially done. I recommend making a character in Weaver Dice and then statting them and actually playing the game in another like >>48918851

The character creation process is really interesting and actually pretty fucking original.

Basically, you don't create your character, or your power and the circumstances surrounding that new "gift".

Agreed. Pretty sure she's a plain looking ginger.

Dragon is best. Sexy robot waifu.

>>48922219

In what sense was it hers anyway? We never see her shake down businesses for protection money, or run drugs, or any criminal activity really. Just bullying villains who try to move in like some sort of vigilante.

She never has to do scumbaggy shit despite deciding to embrace villainy, 'cause shes already a millionaire from Coil.

kinda lame desu.

>>48922369
Dragon isn't sexy, nor is she a robot anymore IIRC.

Still best girl, looks are overrated.

>>48922440
It's hers because no one else is allowed to operate there.

She doesn't do regular criminal activity because she has people for that.

>>48922440
Possession is nine tenths of the law and all that. And the reason for never being villainous, and I'm not defending this here, is that she was basically a mini-Coil in Coil's pyramid scheme. It was her job to oversee the grunts, not to do grunt work herself.

The warlord phase of the Undersiders was easily one of the most interesting sections, I really wish the story would have gone more into detail about each member working on and running their territory.
For example early on it was mentioned that they have to start drug operations not to miss out on profit and to keep a tighter grip on the overall crime scene but it was never further elaborated.

Makes me want to run a game completely focused on taking over a city and establishing territories, maybe even with stuff like >>48891501 >>48891669

>>48922793
>>48922823
I've googled her powers but I'm not quite sure I understand.
Say she teleports mid-swing, and since she exists in all points between her targets, it'd extend to her blade right?

>>48922996
Everything between her and her destination gets cut into a million tiny ribbons.

Basically, she gets to swing her sword 1000 times at anything within swords reach of the direct path traveled, from different angles. She does not experience this, it does not tire her or dull her sword as 1000 normal swings would, and it happens instantly.
Her sword is very sharp.

>>48922996

the blade doesn't get any longer. She doesn't occupy all that space in the sense of being stretched out, she occupies it in the sense of that area being tiled with copies of her, all of whom get a brief instant to do something (like swing a sword once) before vanishing.

The power is similar to oni-lees in a way.

>>48923018
>>48923052
So basically "*teleports behind you* psh...nothin personal kid" as a superpower? That's actually kind of rad.

Almost could be one of the potential disadvantages you can get in Weavers Dice;
"The character has been publicly humiliated, this could be anything from suffering a critical loss during a key moment of their cape career to having made some unsavory comments during the height of their youth which they nowadays regret. No difference in the how, the character became a laughing stock of the cape community and to this day has a hard time living that embarrassment down."

I think I now know the backstory for my next character

>>48925952
is that a disadvantage in the base system for weaver-dice?

if it isn't then someone who knows where the game is actually getting development might go and post that suggestion...I don't know where it's getting worked on...just that it is.

Patrician copy pasta

>>48925952
Skitter did kinda suffer from this, both as a civvie and as a cape. What disadvantages do you get from that?

>>48926389
most notably?

not being given the benefit of the doubt, regardless of past actions. people regularly having back-stab contingencies ready for your "inevitable betrayal" some of which trigger regardless of weather or not you actually DID back-stab them. talk-shows, and toy-lines making you the parodied butt-monkey villain...

Skitter only escaped that school because enough people had benefited enough from her actions to counter this in a general sort of way

>>48926487
>>48926389
and of course "bounty hunter" capes, and guys with surplus PRT equipment out to cash in a chunk of change at your expense.

>>48926389
As a civilian definitely, I remember the girl who she saved during the Merchant party immediately recognizing her as "the locker girl", though it wasn't really a humiliation as Skitter.
Although that itself also sounds like it could be part of the disadvantage above, maybe extend it from being a social pariah to having past actions drastically define how a character is perceived regardless of how the character wants to be seen.
Mess up one time => people think that character is a useless fuck up etc.

If it would be just about the humiliation I imagine the disadvantage making it hard for a cape to get work or a team, nobody wants to be associated with the cape because it would mean a heavy hit to their reputation which only few are willing to take.

>>48926615
I'd argue that Taylor being the "Locker Girl" would have meant very little had her career as a villain continued instead of joining the Wards. I mean we saw what she was willing to do to Valefor, and she's over Emma.

>>48925952
It will be done. Gonna suggest it soon. Might not get put in, but I'll put it out there.

>>48925985
Nope, don't think so at least. I will give Weaverdice that it lends itself well to less rule-heavy play, if you're into that. Tinkers are still a bitch to work with, as the rules want you to make a table of possible tech.

>>48928056
>as the rules want you to make a table of possible tech.
ewwww....that said, tech-trees and tech-tables sound like fun to me...

>>48928627
It's basically a set of tools to use at your leisure. Want to make tables? Here's some ideas. Want to make a Worm character? Here's the general guidelines for what triggers cause certain powers. The beautiful part of it being incomplete is that the pieces aren't too connected so you can pick and choose. Of course, if you want a consistent experience and system, use anything else.

Character Creation is great though, only way to make a Worm character for me.

>>48928758
yeah, how does weaver-D handle power assigning?

>>48928834
You get the group together and each write an event that you feel would be a trigger. After that you assign them randomly to the players and the real fun starts. The person getting their power is basically required to be silent while everyone else comes up with a power to fit the trigger, this way the power is out of their control. This continues until you all have your powers. Then you roll on the luck table to get perks and flaws that effect the character.

Here's a link explaining it more in-depth.

>>48928951
>no power given to the player except making the backstory
there was a guy fighting people over that in the last /srg/, I wonder if he knows about this...

>>48929075
It's more thematic in my opinion, if you want to choose your power then Weaverdice probably isn't your best bet. Mutants and Masterminds is better in thar respect. The Draft mode in WD helps a bit if you want just a bit of choice in the process.

>>48918767

>Okay so basically Scion's biggest problem is the absurd scale of DC superspeed, far beyond anything in Worm.
Far beyond the Capes in Worm, who hold heavily weakened versions of the entities powers. If Scion could just about be bothered he could rip some lightspeed+ shards out of their dimensions and back into himself and speedblitz Superman.

>>48932527
Pretty sure he can't get back any shards, Taylor has his shard management tool.

>>48932565
Taylor's was what he used to put the restrictions in place, I'm sure Glaistig's was the one he was going to use to collect all the shards at the end of the cycle. But all he has to do is go to the dimension he stored it in and reabsorb it into his mass.

Everyone was really lucky Scion was super depressed over the death of his waifu and the end of the cycle and then wanted to kill them slow.

>>48932595
Glaistig's shard is Eden's, given away unintentionally. Presumably he depended on his partner for reclaiming the shards.

If regaining shards was as easy as going to their dimension and absorbing them, why would they need a tool for it?

The issue with Tagg is that he was hardline military. And viewed parahumans who were not working with the PRT and the Protectorate as the enemy. He would not and could not back down.
Look at how he treats dinah, someone who has agreed to help the PRT, when he's trying to force her cooperation with regards to Skitter. Granted he doesn't outright threaten her, but he does state that she does not have a choice in answering his questions. This being a underage rogue who was previously held captive by a maniac.

>>48934914
I'm not saying that it's not an understandable stance to take.
It's just not really a good method of convincing people to work with you. Forcing people to work for you is however a good way of building up resentment, it also damages morale amongst those they are forced to work with. And when these individuals are sometimes capable of truly horrific amounts of damage, making them resent you seems like a poor plan.

Yeah, there's a lot of cool and weird powers.

For instance, a guy with left-brain/right-brain issues gained the ability to transform into a multi-armed Breaker state. One side had telekinesis and could create force fields, the other could create eruptions of metal. The problem was that he could only stay in this state for a handful of rounds equal to his mental stats.

Then there was my personal favorite, Dune, who could create abrasive treadmills. He planned to use a sandboard to ride on them, but a girl he was fighting triggered with the ability to use her ever-growing skin as a prehensile, hideous tentacle with super-strength.

After he tried to get away from her, she crushed him to death with tonnes of rock. The thing was, he was actually MORE POWERFUL than her, because his abilities completely shut down Shaker powers. This kid could've beat Grue, if only he'd fought back.

You also had Abattoir (i.e. most powerful cape of all time). This guy had fragmentation grenade powers, teleportation, a breaker state that let him evade attacks and caused wounds to his enemies to hurt a lot more, and was basically James Bond meets Golgo 13. He was killed when he made some shitty tactical decisions while fighting a woman in power armor.

Conversely, two Tinkers (A Napoleon-esque guy who built robot soldiers and a horribly mutated Case 53 focused on chemical weapons) managed to fight off SIX parahumans in one frantic, desperate battle.

Shit's insane. There's a lot of stuff like that in the logs, like a blood-controlling woman named Lilith who died fighting an entire PRT squad. She did pretty well until they busted out the incendiary grenades and flamethrowers, despite being maimed by a car-bomb.

>>48892530
Fletchette can break it, though.

I've thought more about all the other people Gray Boy trapped. Do you think anyone ever got around to mercy killing them?

>>48935408
Flechette can penetrate a bubble, but cannot permanently kill those inside. They get resurrected.
She did kill Gray Boy, but only because she hit his brain so he couldn't reset.

>>48909253
My assumption was that they were Scion's personal shards that flew all over the place when he died. They home in on people, but without any guiding intelligence aiming them, they don't work right.

I guess we'll find out if Wildbow ever writes a sequel.

>>48932527
It's never confirmed anywhere, but I think they used Legend's shard for travel, and that was sub-light.

>>48935875
Probably true, their "teleportation" effects are just destroying the thing and recreating it somewhere else they have power over, and so would only work on Earth.

>>48935610
When Twig finishes, he said.

>>48935875

Legend + Vista, fairly sure. Plus probably a few dozen/hundred/billion extra powers to supplement/enhance them.

>>48913408
Might be. I'm not into most cape stuff, and I liked it.

You could also start with another one of Wildbow's stories. Pact is more like World of Darkness in setting, and Twig (in progress) is biopunk.

>>48937290
Pact is the worst of the three, by Wildow's own admission.

I thought once they gave the shard, the entity lost it until collected back somehow, and the entity can't collect the shard back from a live host.

Scion, for example, didn't just control everything and everyone into submission with Skitter's power. How could he use Legend and Vista's abilities if both were alive?

Also, was it ever explained why were the Sleeper and the Three Abominations so dangerous? Not even when shit got realer than real did Khepri consider using the Sleeper to fight Scion.

>>48937858
>I thought once they gave the shard, the entity lost it until collected back somehow, and the entity can't collect the shard back from a live host.
I think this too, but the host being alive is irrelevant, retrieving the shard just kills them.
>How could he use Legend and Vista's abilities if both were alive?
He couldn't, anons was merely speculating on how the entities traveled the galaxies.
>was it ever explained why were the Sleeper and the Three Abominations so dangerous?
No.

>>48937858
Sleepers power was getting held back by Wildbow because he wanted to use him for the Worm sequel.
On reddit some guy once made up a cape team and asked how high their survival chances would be if they were up against him, the result: everyone dies except one girl with breaker powers that lets her create crystal constructs at a distance though her survival chance would also just be 1/30.
This is the only thing we know about his power.

>>48937858
>I thought once they gave the shard, the entity lost it until collected back somehow, and the entity can't collect the shard back from a live host.

Pretty significant evidence that Scion on his own can't reclaim shards at all. Given some stuff that GU said (and GU's power in general), it seems that reclaiming shards only happens at the end of a cycle. Possibly if Eden were still around it could be done, or possibly if the right conditions were met (enough shards matured/budded enough times, maybe), but as it stands in the story it seems it's just not possible.

Hell, given some dialogue from the fight on the beach, it seems that until a power is used on him, Scion doesn't even remember that each individual shard even exists. After all, everything they tried worked on him at least the once, and it was only after he was 'reminded' about a power that he became immune to it.

>>48937955
I always liked the idea that the Sleeper's power was just the power to be left alone just with a bunch of flavour to it.

>>48937955
>a cape team
Kinda amibguous, considering those could go from Leet and Uber to the Triumvirate.

>>48938103
He made the cape team up, as in the powers of each member.

>>48938103
https://www.reddit.com/r/Parahumans/comments/32mr7r/know_what_ill_just_get_the_next_exit/

The 3 highest comments are about building the team and the 4th is Wildbow himself stating their survival chances.

>>48932375
I liked them. I enjoyed that the "super science" behind them was just physically mining the corpse of a dead god-thing, and making people drink the juices.

>>48938083
Works for me.

Wait.

In setting logic, how did Fenja and Menja manage to get exactly the same power? Surely they should have variants.

>>48939287
Same trigger event at the same time, in close proximity to each other?

>>48939287
Maybe they're clones!

>>48939404
>>48939287
Identical twins and identical, simultaneous triggers. See the S9000 for what happens when people with identical DNA all trigger.

>>48939481
>the S9000
So a clone of you will have the same powers you do? That's really how shards work? And mixing ADNs will get you mixed powers?

Same with Echidna clones.

I now wonder what would've happened if Echidna absorbed Scion.

>>48939571
dna is one of the things shards "key" thenselves to. see S9k.

>>48939571
DNA and memories. The S9000 had imperfect (read: shit) memory copies, so their powers were slightly different.

Not sure she could of. If she did, she'd get something like Scion, but without the "well" to back it up.

Low level Punisher-esque gritty superheros are a staple of the genre.

If I understand it right everyone takes turns with the GM, does this mean that waiting times between those turns are quite long?

If you're talking about Sy just having Taylor's power in Twig, then yeah. He'd be a nightmare to deal with for everyone. Well, more of one, anyway.

But I don't think he'd have done all that well in Worm itself. Too many other powers out there.

Search for Weaver Dice: Lausanne. The sessions are run by Wildbow using Weaver Dice.

>>48941640
It was sort of explained oddly, the GM does solo sessions most of the time, and occasionally the characters intersect. If that happens, when the players are all online the GM runs for all of them in turns. Most wait I've seen for an action is about 5 minutes, so it's pretty fast-paced.

I don't care if the girl he was so nice to didn't want him as a boyfriend or that he was being virtually tortured in China, attacking a vital member of the defense against an endbringer that is currently running amok just for some petty revenge (for something that was 100% his fault) is retarded and he deserves no sympathy from anyone.

>>48944875
What was that about Saint?

>>48944875

C'mon man, he was a Simurgh bomb. Give him at least a bit of slack for that, if nothing else. Also he was half-brainwashed at the time.

I mean, he was still a jerk, that's inarguable. A complete asshole. But he's not 100% responsible for his actions, I think, given his circumstances.

the more options Sy has the more bullshit he becomes, and Administrator's bug power is basically territory control.

can you imagine his stupid bug in a box metaphor backed up by bugs everywhere? lamb signals out the wazoo, practically unambushable, Administrator multitasking plus Wyvern...

>>48945191

He was only there because he had to be. Dragon was ordered to go, and couldn't refuse, and he wasn't about to sit out while she couldn't. Mostly at the time he tried to apologize to Taylor, and said that if they brought her in he'd put in a good word.

I mean, don't get me wrong, it was a dick move. But it was *Tagg's* dick move. Defiant was just along for the ride. Not totally blameless or anything, but then again who in Worm ever is?

Do you ever feel like after the scale of shit like this just becomes so high that it stops actually meaning anything?

Do people routinely throw around attacks that can destroy galaxies? Or is this functionally the same as 'This character is invincible'.

>>48945370
>'This character is invincible'.

Pretty much this. The real quote about Endbringer toughness wasn't even from the story (although there were hints), but from the author in the context of a versus battle against the Justice League. It was something along the lines of unless you have some exotic ability to damage the core, you have to be able to dig through a spiral galaxy's worth of matter to actually hurt an Endbringer.

What exactly that means, we don't know. He didn't elaborate, and everything else is pretty much just speculation.

Leviathan
Legendary Creature - Endbringer

Leviathan has Haste, First Strike, and Islandwalk as long as Opponent controls an Island.

Whenever Leviathan attacks or blocks and at the end of each turn, place a flood counter on target land. That land becomes an Island and loses all other types.

Tap Leviathan: Destroy target Island.

Endbringer: If this creature would be destroyed by damage, you may choose to prevent that damage and place it anywhere in your library instead.

so Skitter and Grue. what other known capes would make excellent Gothic Horror Fantasy encounters?

I may take and meld or mod them for a brewed setting I've worked on.

Behemoth
Legendary Creature - Endbringer
Trample, Menace

If combat damage would be dealt to Behemoth, prevent that damage and deal an equal amount to target creature or player.

If Behemoth would be destroyed, instead deal three damage to target creature or player.

Whenever an opponent's land is tapped for mana, deal one damage to target player.

>>48945370
No, it's meant to be pretty much invincible. The entities never wanted the endbringers to be destroyed, and the only time that ever happened was when Scion decided he'd fuck up Behemoth.

>>48945994
Shadow Stalker, Breed, Sveta/Garotte. Maybe a clockwork tinker or Case 53 monster?

>>48946188
shadow stalker I can see

I forget what exactly Breed did

Garrote is one I'd forgotten about, and as a one off she may be what I need as a fine addition.

>tinkers
perhaps someone who does to their victims as Mannequin does?

the less "magical" the powers the better, Jack Slash is almost too much after a fashion.

Insectoid parasites. If given enough time, those would grow to human size and have acid spit.

>>48946335
ah, yes I can do that it will be a good addition.

there is a corruption of people aspect in the setting I'm doing (to rip off of bloodborne)

>>48945370
What it means in practice is that to seriously harm an Endbringer, you need some bullshit power that ignores the defence. There's at least one in the setting, a girl who imbues metal objects with the power to cut through anything.

>>48937858
Glaistig Uaine had the power to collect shards. I'm not sure if she got her own shard from Scion or Eden, but it's probably the one they would have used to collect things in a normal cycle.

Nah fuck that sleeper theory, it doesn't even make sense. Why would khepri think that it's not worth it to use him, not to mention in the book it outright says he "subsumed" a dimension or some such.

>>48949061
Khepri thought it wasn't worth trying to use him because his Stranger 12 power made her think that he was too dangerous to fuck with, obviously, and the line about him "subsuming" a world was dialogue, not narration; the speaker was similarly under the effect of his power.

>>48949078
Taylor in kephri mode has an innate sense of people's powers and no cape was able to resist her or not many, even the powerful ones.

>>48949120
That's why his Stranger rating is 12. It breaks the bullshit scale.

>>48949078
Same dude but kephri didn't think he was too dangerous to fuck with either, it was that he wasn't worth it so his power must be real destructive or just too gnarly.
