I really haven't. I would like to, but the others that I play with wish to keep it simple by using the default. As I've made the point in my other posts regarding the strength ratings for different characters, I am an extreme stickler for variance amongst characters to match very closely the differences in the books so everything is not so generic feeling. I would love if the others tha

Basically what it comes down to is this...we can fire opinions back and forth from now till the end of time, pulling out every possible reference tool available to validate our particular stance on the subject and nobody here will ever change their mind or admit that they might be wrong.... I know in this matter that I won't, since it is something that I feel very strongly about. So really t

Yes, that would seem appropriate as presented in the books. According to her bio and write up in the Marvel Universe handbooks she has rigorous training in the fighting styles of numerous worlds, so I would place her slighly above Captain America who has the fighting knowledge of strictly Terran based martial disciplines (which I think is acheived with the stat presented here and her higher agili

I don't get the Strength of Amazing. Why would you drop it to being able to lift only 50 tons when that is essentially the core stat that Thor is known for in the established comics lore? Even without the belt, that he has seldom used in comics, his strength is rated as Class 100 (routinely able to lift over 100 tons).
It also goes without saying that I disagree with yet another boost to

I dont know why exactly but of all the published modules I had enjoyed the first "Day of the Octopus" the most. There is nothing wrong with later modules but the first has always been the most enjoyable to me. Probably nostaligia.
After that I would probably put "The Cosmos Cubed" trilogy and then the Alpha Flight "Catspaw" module.

But I am not referencing overly extreme examples of strength, I am simply refering to very common occurences and displays within the various titles and saying that it hurts the characters to reduce them ALL to the same generic level of strength when certain characters indeed warrant a higher score than others. How many times have we seen characters such as Thor, Hercules or the Hulk supporting a

I will agree that latety it seems that every Marvel character has had a power boost and not just strength related, (although some I feel are justified, such as Quicksilver, since many of the feats that he has demonstarted even in the 60's would require far more speed than what even the first or second handbook series described...sustained speed of 175 MPH...please), and yes many were signifi

I would agree that Thor (Hercules as well, and a host of other "cosmic" characters) should have a lower fighting score, although I would probably place it at Incredible. Although Thor is a warrior with thousands of years of fighting experience to draw upon, his fighting technique falls within a small range of fighting styles and formats. He is definitely not a master of multiple fighti
