Weakness - Powerless without suit (No powers and physical stats drop to 3) I used the suggest word ranks as a guide in most instances (although the Speed scale in FASERIP does not match up to the same in ICONS).Ĭonnections - Pepper Potts, Happy Hogan & Jarvis I converted him largely from Marvel FASERIP's Advanced Set Judges Book, so he's pretty old.

My conversion of Iron Man on another board for someone interested. Mine may vary, when I've thought about it more. If suddenly Superman started using his Phantom Zone Projector daily while on patrol, time to reconfigure the character if he uses it once, at the climax of an adventure, to defeat the otherwise undefeatable evil Mxyzptlk, it's just a Quality entering play. Again, that should be fairly straightforward. The same might go for purchases requiring Qualities like "World's Richest Person" or even "Billionaire" - I'd let a player with no relevant Qualities whose story specified wealth spend Determination to declare that he owned a Hummer parked down the street, but it would take a Quality to declare that he owned the hotel he just walked into.ĭevices that are used all the time - the Batmobile to the Batman of the Super Friends, e.g. These things require an Aspect because NO ordinary person could have one. Same goes for, e.g., Superman's Fortress of Solitude. More plot-significant or unusual objects that typically come into play only as occasional plot devices - the Batmobile, to the modern-day Batman - strike me as Qualities or parts of Qualities. I'm not even sure I'd require a quality here, although it would help. If Bruce Wayne wants his limo to be parked around the corner, it takes this level of effort. Large, plot-significant, or unusual but basically mundane doodads plausible within the character story are available to anybody with a retcon.

If the small ordinary doodad is NOT ordinarily part of your story, you can have it with a retcon. I'd treat small ordinary doodads as part of the character story - surely everybody can agree that Batman has handcuffs and a flashlight on him, more or less at all times. To get that stuff, just do it through play.

The "lowest" level of equipment is mundane stuff anybody could obtain through mundane procedures, and that the character doesn't need RIGHT NOW. Click to expand.I've been sorta dividing equipment into four categories, in my own private Idaho ICONS.
