Essential Game Mechanic
The mechanics of the DC Universe Roleplaying Game are simple enough: the Narrator picks a difficulty number, and if you roll of the dice is equal to or higher than that number, your hero succeeds. The numbers rolled on the dice are not added directly, however. Instead, each 1 or 2 counts as a Failure, and each 3, 4, 5, or 6 counts as a Success. Furthermore, 1 die in the group rolled is always a Wild Die. For the Wild Die, a 1 counts as a Critical Failure, a 2 is a Failure, a 3, 4, or 5 counts as a Success, and a 6 is a Critical Success. A Critical Failure counts as a regular Failure, and removes one of your Successes. A Critical Success counts as a Success, and allows you to re-roll the Wild Die. If a Critical Success is rolled on this re-roll, that counts as a Success and allows a second re-roll, and so on. A Very Easy task requires only 1 success, an Easy task needs 2, and a Moderate task needs 3. Difficult tasks require 4 successes, Very Difficult tasks require 5, and Extremely Difficult tasks need 6 successes. Heroic feats require 7 successes, Very Heroic ones need 8 successes, Super-Heroic ones call for 9 successes, and Legendary tasks require no less than 10 successes. Opposed rolls are only slightly different. For example, if you try to hit someone, that person can dodge out of the way. She would roll her dodge skill and you would roll your brawling or martial arts skill. Her roll opposes yours, which means the number of successes she rolls becomes the new difficulty number. Attributes Rated on a scale of 1D to 5D, with 2D being average for a normal adult human. Reflexes: this attribute represents the character's balance, limberness, gross motor abilities, and reaction time. Characters who can climb well or walk a tightrope have high Reflexes. Additionally, Reflexes is used to determine initiative and Passive Defense Values (PDV), though training in dodge and acrobatics can increase the PDV. Roughly analgous to MSH Fighting. Coordination: this attribute is a measure of fine motor skills, manual dexterity, and hand-eye coordination. A character who is a great shot or can pick a lock easily has a high Coordination. Roughly analagous to MSH Agility. Physique: Raw physical strength and endurance are covered by this attribute. Heroes receive a +1 bonus to their Base Damage Value (BDV) for every 2D they have in Physique, rounded down. Thus, a hero with 1D in Physique receives no bonus, while a hero with 5D receives a +2 bonus. Roughly analagous to MSH Strength & Endurance. Knowledge: This attribute deals with the acquisition of knowledge, including the capacity to learn. Skills that primarily involve information-gathering and recollection (with secondary emphasis on application) are governed by this attribute. Roughly analagous to MSH Reason. Perception: This attribute measures mental quickness, attention to detail, and creativity. Skills under this attribute essentially relate to imaginative application of information and awareness of surroundings. Roughly analagous to MSH Intuition. Presence: This attribute describes emotional strength, personality, and physical attractiveness. Skills needed in interpersonal communication are governed by this attribute. Roughly analagous to MSH Psyche & Popularity. Skills Skills have a base value equal to that of the attribute they fall under (this is called the default attribute). From this base value, most skills can be increased; if no dice are spent on a specific skill and the Narrator asks for a roll on that skill, the attribute the skill falls under is rolled instead at a small penalty. Many skills also offer specializations (biology under science, bow & arrow under missile weapon, Batmobile under driving, etc.). Some comparisons: 1D is Below Average/untrained human average; 2D is Novice/below average human level; 3D is Average; 4D is Competent/above average level of expertise; 5D is Skilled/professional level of training for a human. 6D is Professional/best in a city; 7D is Exceptional/best in state; 8D is Brilliant/best on continent; 9D is Nationally Renowned/among the best in the world; 10D is World Renowned/among the top few individuals possessing this skill in the world. 11D is Master/the world's best seek advice from this individual; 12D is Sector Renowned/among the best in a star system; 13D is Galactically Renowned/among the best in several star systems; 14D is Legendary/stories of the individual's skill will be passed down for generations; 15D is Mythical/the individual will be known for all time as one of the greatest in this skill. Reflex Skills: Acrobatics, Boating, Brawling, Climbing, Dodge, Driving, Martial Arts, Melee Weapons, Piloting, Riding, and Sneak. Coordination Skills: Catch, Lockpicking, Marksmanship, Missile Weapons, Sleight-of-Hand, Thievery, and Thrown Weapons. Physique Skills: Flying, Leap, Lifting, Resistance, Running, and Swimming. Knowledge Skills: Arcane Lore, Computer Ops, Criminology, Demolitions, Forgery, Languages, Medicine, Navigation, Research, Scholar, Science, and Security. Perception Skills: Artist, Engineering, Hide, Invent, Know-how, Repair, Search, Shadowing, Streetwise, Surveillance, Survival, and Tracking. Presence Skills: Animal Handling, Bluff, Charm, Command, Disguise, Interrogation, Intimidation, Persuasion, and Willpower. Notes on Powers Immunity: this power makes a character less susceptible to diseases or toxins than most people. She adds the die code in automatic successes to her resistance skill when battling a foreign substance within her body. Additionally, since the hero's body fights off infections, she heals 1 extra Body Point per day for every 3D she has in this power, rounded down, regardless of the amount of rest she's had. Invulnerability: this makes the character immune to most damage from any source, including most mental attacks that inflict damage (except Mental Blast, which directly targets the mind). Invulnerability is not effective against other forms of mental attack, such as Empathy, Illusion, Mind Control, Possession, Telepathy, and so on. For unarmed combat, the Physique of the attacker must be equal to or greater than three times the Invulnerability die code. For armed combat, the Base Damage Value (plus the Physique/lifting bonus, if applicable) must be equal to or greater than three times the die code of the hero's Invulnerability power before the hero can be harmed by that source. EXAMPLE: Superman (Invulnerability 11D) must be struck by a weapon with a Base Damage Value plus Physique/lifting bonus (if applicable) for a minimum total of 33 or greater or by someone with a Physique of 33D or greater (such as Cyborg, Darkseid, or Doomsday) before he takes any damage. Furthermore, for an armed attack that can do damage, two times the die code of the defender's Invulnerability is subtracted from the attack's Damage Total. For an unarmed source that can do damage, the defender subtracts the die code of his Invulnerability power from the Damage Total. Supersenses: The die code is added to relevant Perception, search, surveillance, or tracking rolls. One-fifth the die code is added to marksmanship, missile weapons, or thrown weapons rolls. One-fifth the die code is added to initiative. Other Speed: the rate of walking, in feet per round. For most characters, this value is 30. PDV: Passive Defense Value; the character's natural ability to instinctively get out of the way of an attack. Unarmed BDV: the hero's unarmed Base Damage Value, dependent upon the skill fought with: for Brawling, it is 2D, and for Martial Arts (or no skill), it is 1D. For each 3D you have in Brawling, add +1D to your Unarmed BDV. (Conversely, for every 2D you have in Martial Arts, you receive an extra combat action in addition to their normal actions; these extra actions may be used for attacking again with the martial arts skill or actively defending with acrobatics or dodge). P/l Bonus: the Physique/lifting bonus represents the amount of additional damage a hero can do because of their strength. It modified the Base Damage Value of unarmed attacks, melee weapons, natural weaponry, thrown weapons, and most missile weapons. Hero Points: represents the exceptional potential that it takes to be a superhero. Hero Points are used to affect rolls. Villain Points: characters gain Villain Points for performing acts that go against the heroic code of honor and justice. Character Points: also used to affect rolls, and spent to improve and acquire skills & powers after the hero has been created. Body Points: represents the amount of physical and mental damage a character can take before falling unconscious (and possibly dying). Weapons In weapon entries, "PHYS" means you need to make a Physique or lifting roll to generate the value. This number is uses most often to determine range. Base Damage Value: the amount of harm the weapon does. Roll the die code listed and count the successes. If the die code is to be multiplied by a number, multiply the amount of successes by this number. This is used to determine the Damage Total. Melee, thrown, and most missile weapons are enhanced by the hero's Physique/lifting bonus. Range: This factor takes into account that the weapon will be less effective the farther it is from the target. The values given are the maximums, in feet, for short/medium/long ranges. The modifier after "PHYS" indicates the number of successes to take off from or add onto the total. If the total becomes zero or less because of the modifier, then the hero has dropped the object right in front of her. --------------------- Be Ex/20 to one another!
Oops, my bad!!! You are talking about the other DC game which I have and don't play (mainly due to lack of interest).
It has a good concept but too many dice rules and exception to keep track of. "It doesn't matter if I win or lose. Just as long as I pissed you off" --- Morrigian, Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo

Speed: 30 PDV: 6 Unarmed BDV: 5D/1D P/l Bonus: +3 Hero Points: 28 Villain Points: 1 Character Points: 225 Body Points: 44 Equipment: * Batarangs: Batman has two distinct styles of Batarangs -- spinning and throwing. Most general purpose Batarangs are the spinning style, but the throwing type are used for specialized purposes. The spinning types are Folding (the most common type, with a hinge in the middle that allows it to be folded in half; four can fit into one Utility Belt compartment; BDV 2D, max range Physique/lifting roll x 4 yards) and Close-Quarter Impact (weighted to do more damage at a reduced range; no penalty if used with the knockout combat option; BDV 4Dx2, max range Physique/lifting bonus x 4 yards). The throwing styles are Hard Impact Edge (hardened steel edge and balanced for more damage at a greater distance than the close-quarter impact type; BDV 6D, max range Physique/lifting roll x 6 yards), Cutting Edge (incorporates a Rockwell-C 60 hardness edge with a balanced front to give the greatest amount of damage for its range; BDV 7D, max range Physique/lifting roll x 10 yards), and Radio-Controlled Impact (carrying two small charges, one on each side, this Batarang can be steered while in flight by a radio-controlling device located in Batman's Utility Belt; the charges add +4D to the user's thrown weapons rolls, but if used, the P/l bonus is lost [only the BDV of the Batarang is used]; BDV 4D, max range 100 yards). * Batcuffs: based on police-issue Ty-Cuffs, these restraint devices are made of sapphire-impregnated nylon with a stranded metal cable center (Defense Value 8 vs. cutting/slashing, 16 against all others; 100 Body Points; successful Super-Heroic lifting roll to break free). They can be removed only by using a special diamond-edged cutting tool. * Batmobile: created shortly after the remodeling of Wayne Manor and the Batcave (following the year-long "No Man's Land" incident) by taking one of Bruce Wayne's sportscars and redesigning it completely. The body is an advanced plastic/polymer composite with amazing damage resistant properties (Armor Value 22 for the body). The windows are all bulletproof, polarized one-way glass, and the mirrors, headlights, and taillights are all bulletproof (Armor Value 22). The tires are self-sealing (two turns to seal and re-inflate, five to replace completely). The Batmobile has an internal computer that allows for limited voice-activated controls (driving 4D while being operated remotely). It also has an internal navigation system with global positioning system hookup, video and radio receivers/transceivers, scanner set to monitor police, fire, medical, and military emergency frequencies at all times, and a satellite hookup to the mainframe in the Batcave. Room for 1 passenger, 6 cubic feet of cargo capacity, Speed 162 mph, Body Points 150. * Batsuit: Batman's costume is made of Nomex fire-resistant material and lined with triple-weave Kevlar (Armor Value 20 against projectiles, 12 against heat and fire). His cape is also made of Nomex and triple-weave Kevlar, and its points are weighted for use as an offensive weapon (BDV 2D). Batman's cowl is a Kevlar-lined helmet with aramid-fiber and exotic-metal threads (Armor Value 22 against most attacks). Built into the cowl in the forehead, between the eyes, and across the throat are trauma plates for extra protection, impact dissipation, and edged weapon attenuation (Armor Value 25 against most attacks). The suit is electronically cooled and contains Starlite nightvision lenses (collects & focuses all ambient light, permitting normal vision in any area not completely devoid of light), a radio receiver/transceiver, an audio processor with voice command equipment, a field of view display projector, and an inertial navigation unit. The costume also has a taser built into hit, which delivers a 50,000-volt, low-amperage shock to anyone who comes into contact with it. This taser is good for one use before needing recharging. * De-Cel Monofilament Jumplines: devised to slow a user's descent the longer one falls. It can support up to 400 lbs. comfortably and about twice this much for short periods of time without snapping. It has a defense Value of 7 against cutting or slashing attacks and 14 against all other attacks, 40 Body Points, and assists in climbing rolls and acrobatics rolls (if used to swing on). * Launching Grappling Hook: At about 10 inches in overall length and with the ability to break down into two parts, the launching grappling hook can be stored without being too cumbersome or unwieldy. The two parts consist of a handgrip that contains the firing mechanism (a CO2 cartridge good for 10 firings, which fits into the handle) and the hook-and-cabling canister, which contains 200 feet of tightly wound jumpline (see above) and a collapsible hook. When the hook is fired, it snaps open and locks into place until a release button at its center is pushed, allowing it to be folded back up. The hook is able to support up to 400 lbs. (depending on what it is attached to) without bending; it can support twice this amount for a short period of time if needed. A successful marksmanship roll is needed to attach the grappling hook securely; the difficulty is modified by range, weather conditions, visibility, and other possible factors. A Wall-Penetrating Grapnel is also available, containing four piercing darts (each equipped with a micro-diamond drill head and a directional fin) and 200 feet of Vectran (a thermoplastic multifilament yarn spun from liquid crystal polymers [Defense Value 10 vs. cutting and slashing, 20 vs. all other attacks; 60 Body Points; supports 300-600 lbs.]). The penetrating dart can attach to light aluminum, steel, concrete, and other masonry via a two-stage launch technique utilizing small explosive charges. * Nerve Agent-Rated Gas Mask: a foldable but somewhat bulky gas mask has a pull-open facial skin protection layer and integral mouthpiece to assure a positive seal. It protects against all nerve gases, as well as nuclear, biological, and chemical toxins. * Rebreather: this miniaturized scuba device has two two-inch canisters on either side of a mouthpiece that provide oxygen for up to 2 hours. The canisters and mouthpiece are five inches long total. * Smoke Capsules: These capsules break upon impact and release a black smoke that will fill a 100-square-foot room. Those caught within this area are blinded unless their sight is aided (nightvision lenses, magic, sonar sense, etc.). In lieu of black smoke, the capsules may instead contain knockout gas (fall unconscious for 2 hours), a regurgitive gas (becomes violently ill & helpless for 10 rounds), or tear gas (become blinded & choking for 10-15 minutes); these alternate payloads also fill a 100-square-foot area. * Subsonic Bat Call: This electronic device gives off a subsonic noise that attracts all bats within a 10-mile radius. * Universal Tool: a device for any electronics work, the Universal Tool is nine inches long and weighs three pounds. Its casing is made of hardened steel and can be used as a hammer without damaging it (30 Body Points). Inside the tip are a variety of different tool points, including different sizes of flathead and Phillips screwdrivers, torx, box, and star drive wrenches, and electro pick lockpicking device, and drill bits for limited drilling. The selector sleeve rotates to connect the desired tool with the internal drive unit. The base of the Universal Tool contains a full lineman's kit, multiline analyzers, CPU and RS-232 logic-controlled break-out boxes and analyzers, an EPROM reader and writer for cell phone analysis, advanced oscilloscope and vector scope functions, taps, and jumpers. The device can record and playback any signals -- including radio, broadband cable, HDTV, and other such frequencies. The device is powered by a mini fuel cell, but also has AC and DC external power jacks. Using this device gives a +2D bonus to lockpicking rolls, +3D to computer ops rolls (for hardware only), +3D to security rolls (for attempting to bypass security), and +3D to engineering and repair rolls. * Utility Belt: Batman's latest utility belt has eight compartments of varying sizes. Within one pouch, Batman carries some items regularly (keys, money, lockpicks, first aid kit, super-miniaturized cell phone, antitoxins to a wide variety of poisons, signal flares, wireless listening devices, and a small halogen flashlight), and the rest are designed for items needed for the specific case he is working on. For example, if he intends to go up against the Joker, he will most definitely have Joker venom anti-toxin in one of the pouches. (Batman has a 5-in-6 chance to have exactly what is needed in one of his pouches). Batman's utility belt has a self-destruct feature built into it to resist tampering. If the belt buckle or compartments are not opened in the correct manner (successful Heroic lockpicking roll to guess) the belt explodes, doing 10D in damage to anyone within 5 feet and completely destroying the belt. =============================================================== JASON BLOOD (Iason Blaise) Reflexes 2D: Brawling 4D, climbing 3D, dodge 4D, driving 3D, melee weapons 4D, riding 4D, sneak 5D.

Hi Dr Archeville mate!
I have to be honest; those stats are pretty poor compared to the old DC Heroes RPG. How does each 'd' affect strength (I can't fathom the logic behind it)? eg. Batman has 5d; Dr Fate has 6d and the difference is x14; yet Aquaman with 9d is x3 Dr Fate??? How the heck is Darkseid stronger than Doomsday!? The DC Heroes stats are much better: [www.geocities.com] (Click the Archive link and then when you select a character click on the link for strength to get the full strength table) You address OMNIPOTENCE, tread carefully.
That's entirely your opinion.
You wanna know how the dice codes work? Get the books -- it's far too long for me to explain, and they shouls be avaialble via Kazaa or some such (in case you don't want to spend $$$). As for the Darkseid & Doomsday -- Darkseid's never been shown to be weaker than Doomsday, the one time they've fought, Darkseid used his Omega Beams, which Doomsday shrugged off, and then Doomsday KO'd Darkseid before the Lord of Apokolips could get off a single hit (as reflected in part in Doomsday having a higher brawling than Darkseid). If by "better" you mean fewer numbers, less skill choices, and listing every power they ever used as if they always had it (like Flah 3's Time Travel, which he's used probably less than 10 times total nad the majority of those times he used the Cosmic Treadmil or some other device to do so), and 3 years old than WEG's stats/versions, then, yes, Mayfair's DC Heroes RPG is "better." However, I will grant you that the game system for Mayfair's DC Heroes RPG (roll % dice, cross-reference a chart or two) is marginally better than WEG's DC Universe RPG (the "bucket-o'-dice" method).

Hi Dr Archeville mate
I have to be honest; those stats are pretty poor compared to the old DC Heroes RPG. That's entirely your opinion. Indeed. You don't concur I take it? How does each 'd' affect strength (I can't fathom the logic behind it)? eg. Batman has 5d; Dr Fate has 6d and the difference is x14; yet Aquaman with 9d is x3 Dr Fate??? You wanna know how the dice codes work? Yes please. it's far too long for me to explain If it takes 'far too long' to explain how strength increases then the system is inherantly over-complicated. Get the books --, and they shouls be avaialble via Kazaa or some such (in case you don't want to spend $$$). I dunno, you scared me by not being able to explain a single attribute. I mean how complicated could it be!? How the heck is Darkseid stronger than Doomsday!? As for the Darkseid & Doomsday -- Darkseid's never been shown to be weaker than Doomsday, the one time they've fought, Darkseid used his Omega Beams, which Doomsday shrugged off, and then Doomsday KO'd Darkseid before the Lord of Apokolips could get off a single hit (as reflected in part in Doomsday having a higher brawling than Darkseid). Darkseid is just about Supermans physical equal. The idea that he is superior to Doomsday is incongruous. The DC Heroes stats are much better: If by "better" you mean fewer numbers, Well its certainly simpler...I can easily explain the progression of the strength ability for instance? less skill choices, and listing every power they ever used as if they always had it (like Flah 3's Time Travel, which he's used probably less than 10 times total nad the majority of those times he used the Cosmic Treadmil or some other device to do so), and 3 years old than WEG's stats/versions, Basically I use it to convert and contrast DC characters to the MSH RPG. So the above doesn't really bother me. then, yes, Mayfair's DC Heroes RPG is "better." so you agree with me then - it is better! However, I will grant you that the game system for Mayfair's DC Heroes RPG (roll % dice, cross-reference a chart or two) is marginally better than WEG's DC Universe RPG (the "bucket-o'-dice" method). Indeed. Post Edited (02-14-04 18:15) You address OMNIPOTENCE, tread carefully.
No, I just don't feel like posting a chart with 6 columns & 76 rows (which is what's needed to look up how much someone can lift). Also, as I said earlier (in either this thread or another), I've not played the DC Universe RPG in years, so you'd be better off asking someone who has played it more recently -- or, better yet, the game designers/contributors.
No, since, as I've said, in the few times Darkseid & Supes have fought, Darkseid came out on top -- there has been one time Supes beat Darkseid in a one-on-one fight. However, Darkseid is not "superior" to Doomsday, merely stronger & hardier -- Doomsday's quicker reactions (i.e. higher Reflexes/brawling) proved enough for him to be able to pummel the Lord of Apokolips. Besides, even if Darkseid did beat Doomsday, we both know Doomsday would just come back, tougher and stronger and immune to whatever it was Darkseid used the first time, and would clean Uxas's clock.
It should, unless you want to give the characters unlimmited access to "one-shot" powers (like Flash's Time Travel, or giving Scarlet Witch C5000 Chaos Manipulation powers b/c Shinobi Shaw once hooked her up to a "Chaos Engine" ).

Hi Dr Archeville mate!
Firstly let me apologise if you perceived any antagonism towards yourself - I can assure you that was not the case, I have the utmost respect for you mate. I have also read over the stats you posted in detail and found them very interesting.
...well you could have just explained it was a big chart with no logical progression.
Okay.
...because of the Omega Effect, not any physical superiority.
I fail to see how anyone can perceive Darkseid as stronger than Doomsday? All the evidence surely suggests otherwise!?
Yes, but he only comes back stronger after he has died.
I generally corroborate the stats with visual evidence whenever possible.
I was only jesting - I am sure I had a smilie beside that comment! You address OMNIPOTENCE, tread carefully.
Has Darkseid ever punched a human-level character in the ribs? Because Doomsday punched Ice. And broke a few of her ribs.
That's how weak Doomsday's been depicted. As to how strong? Strong enough to hurt Superman, but that's not so rare. That can be done with Unearthly strength, by most Marvel writeups, and he took a long time to kill the big guy. Strong enough to take a long time punching his way out of a box made of alien metal, but we have no guide to how strong that is. Mostly, Doomsday's tough enough to survive Superman going all-out for some hours, and fast enough to keep up with him in a fight. In comics, there is little evidence for his having exceptional strength. On the other hand, in all his years of history, I suspect there's plenty for Darkseid. -Wal Surrender? What? You think this letter on my head stands for FRANCE?
I can't really think of too many fights Darkseid has been in where he's actually engaged someone in hand to hand. He just looks at them and *zap*.
He has grabbed Superman a couple times. And once, in the Cosmic Odyssey series, I think, Superman flew at Darkseid (off-panel) as soon as he saw him. The next panel showed Superman sailing through the air. But what that means for Darkseid's strength, I'm not sure. By the way, is it pronounced "Dark side" or "Dark seed?" I've heard it pronounced both ways.
No offense taken; likewise I hope you do not find my posts offensive, for such is not my intent.
Where did you get that it's illogical? Go out, get a copy of the book, and look at it, and you'll see it's more logical and 'smoother' than any in the MSH RPG.
If by "Omega Effect" you mean the Omega Force that Uxas absorbed that gave him superstrength, toughness and whatnot, yes. If by "Omega Effect" you mean his Omega Beams, then, no, b/c they have fought, fists-to-face, and everytime but once, Supes lost. Darkseid is a bona fide God, so there's little reason he shouldn't be stronger than Kal-El.
What evidence?
So your version of Marvel's Hercules is strong enough to drag Manhattan Island, and Manhattan Island on your version of Marvel Earth floats? Your version of Mimic can copy powers from over a mile away? Those were both shown to have happened. When writing up characters, you should not give them unlimited acess to 'one-shot' powers, since in the vast majority of those cases they were due to (A) bad writing by mooks who didn't bother to do research and/or thought it would serve as an interesting plot hook or visual element, or (B) was the result of unique/non-repeatable outside interference, or at the most an outside source that's used sparingly (like Flash's Cosmic Treadmill). Oh, and Roughshod -- I've always pronounced it "Dark side," since that's how it was pronounced on the old Superfriends cartoon, and on the Justice League cartoon. --------------------- Be Ex/20 to one another! |
