ok want another nightbane book....I think
hey all still sitting on the fence about Nightbane as a whole
but I really like through the looking glass, especialy the fleshsculptor, just the type of thing I was looking for
well I can get book 4 tonight, or I can hold out and get either book 1 or 2 tomorrow night. what I'm looking for is more "superhero type" OCC's that aren't completely genre specific (like say wormwood)
any help input before I head out in a few hours?

Superhero types....
Not many in the Nightlands book... besides the (sword bearer O.C.C) which would be awesome with some kind of twisted Wormwood weapons. The actual Nightbane from the main book/ Wampyrs / maybe Guardians. I can't think of anything from between the shadows that would fit Wormwood, Unless the 'Kenetic PCC is in that book.
Book 4 seems right up your alley. The Anathos are definately superhero types, and the Templar Knight OCC should fit right in.

Uhm, i think he was using Wormwood as an example of something with "genre specific" heroes (right?).
Anyway, i only have BtS and TtGD, but i can't recommend BtS highly enough. I know Cherico won't shut up about how "awsome" the Astral Lords are in superhero games. There's also great updates of the BTS Psychics that are perfect superheroes (Kinetic, Psimechanic, Arcane Detective etc.) There's plenty of stuff in it i've used in my HU game, mostly as villains though. Of course the heroic Living Nightmare rocks like a small child versus a mage.
If you don't have the main book it's the one to get.

maybe I need some more info here
In this case, BtS is Between the Shadows sourcebook for Nightbane rather than the more familiar (to most Palladium fans) Beyond the Supernatural setting.

first of all astral lords do rock in a heros campain
secondly with the new rules a mage can defeat the kid with the
rocks provided he wins initive
Svartalf- if Cherico were a character created in a point game system, he'd have all his scores in geeky skills and his youtube and weird net stuff schticks all paid through a a Terminal Bad Luck (with more nasty GM intervention) disadvantage, and probably an Uncouth (can not have social skills) disad as well...

Also, IMHO, you can tailor a Morphus into a 'superhero' type. Some Morphii are easy to redesign, like Doll Like Appearance & Physical Perfection can be combined into Classic SuperHero Appearance (Ubermensch: four-color costume w/ cape, muscular build, squared-jaw for male Morphi, or Amazonian Archetype for female Morphi).
Just thinking out loud right now. Don't have the books on had at the moment.

lol yeah I geuss I did think BtS was "Beyond the Supernatural" and not "between the Shadows...or is that Beyond?"
as far as superhero types I mean the types that can do what ordinary ment and women can't those that can harm others, protect themselves, or"get the hellout of dosge" without "mortal" crutches like shotguns, swords, cars ect;
hmm shorter explanation, if abattle between Pc's and thier enemies result in property damage...chances are it's a OCC/RCC I'm interested in

ahra wrote:My main question is what is your definition of "superhero type" occ's.
My opinion has always been that any occ can be a superhero type if played correctly. Personally, I think the heroism comes from the playing and the heart and guts of the character, not the skills.
Or I may just be up too late on too much caffeine.
Presumably he's talking about characters that can kick ass and take names, and that have both the style and the funky powers to hold their own in a fairly high-powered campaign. I mean sure, with a bit of work you can take some perfectly ordinary mortal occult researcher and make him a central figure in a heroic Nightbane game, but that takes an awful lot of care and hard work (especially from the GM, since mortals are annoyingly fragile PCs when they're rubbing shoulders with supers).
well kicking ass and taking names is a good way to put it
but "about as subtle as a mack tuck full of anvils....going down a cliff"
abilities should be big and bold that would make a mere mortal drop thier jaws
psychic senstives? tarot card diviners? psychic mediums? kind of "obscue as far as what they are and what they can do
