Sometimes, you start a campaign, but want to switch to a different system later on. Maybe the new system has new bad guys to beat up, or you just want to explore a new “look and feel” for your existing heroes.<\/p>\n
This system allows you to convert 4C heroes to the Invulnerable system. Remember, converting characters isn’t an exact process; the most important part is that you end up with a hero that will fit in the campaign, one that you can have fun playing, and one that retains the “spirit” of the original character.<\/p>\n
Since the 4C system’s “descriptors” can change from campaign to campaign, only numeric values are listed here for the 4C stats. You can make your own notes if you’re using a specific set of descriptors for your campaign, such as “Astounding” for 31-36, “Spectacular” for 37-46, and so on, as in 4C and the beloved old school system it’s based on.<\/p>\n
There are three main steps to converting a 4C hero to Invulnerable:<\/p>\n
One thing to note is that Invulnerable is quite a bit crunchier than 4C, and less granular, particularly at high Levels. You may need to make some decisions as to how you want the hero to turn out.<\/p>\n
Step 1. Choose Origin.<\/strong><\/p>\n To find the hero’s Origin in Invulnerable, look on the Origin Conversion Table and choose the Origin that is closest to the hero’s old Origin.<\/p>\n Origin Conversions Table.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n To derive the hero’s Attributes, find the value for each 4C Attribute from the Relative Levels Table, and convert or calculate as needed. If the 4C Willpower is superhuman, you may divide the Hyper-Attribute Levels between\u00a0the Hyper-Personality or Hyper-Will Powers. Most heroes will go with Hyper-Will, but you don’t have to.<\/p>\n MMTG = More Money Than God Talent. \u00a0 DP = Dirt Poor Weakness.<\/p>\n * = The hero has the appropriate Hyper-Attribute Power at the listed Level. Randomly determine the character’s actual Attribute Level. This is the character’s Attribute Level\u00a0when their powers are completely removed or suppressed. Attributes may be randomly determined in Invulnerable by rolling 3d6, discarding the lowest and highest dice,\u00a0and adding 3.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Step 3. Convert Powers and find Awesomeness Level.<\/strong><\/p>\n Powers in Invulnerable are more like an entire cluster of tricks and Power Feats that a hero will collect\u00a0over their heroic career, rather than a single, does-only-one thing that the hero uses without variation.<\/p>\n 4C powers map to specific Enhancements in an Invulnerable Power.\u00a0Convert the hero’s 4C Power Levels to Invulnerable Power Levels; the hero’s Awesomeness Level is equal to their highest Power Level.\u00a0When all of the 4C Powers are converted, the hero may choose any additional Enhancements they would gain, if they have fewer Enhancements than their AWE.<\/p>\n Example of conversion:\u00a0<\/strong>Dark Wolf is a Changed Human with the powers of a natural predator, and great strength and endurance. Origin: We look over the choices and decide that Dark Wolf is most likely a Freak Accident.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Now we note the Automatic Enhancements that Dark Wolf gains for his Hyper-Attributes Powers.<\/p>\n Now we compare these Power Levels to the Awesomeness Table and see\u00a0the minimum Awesomeness that Dark Wolf can be. It looks like he’s\u00a0Awesomeness 7. That gives Dark Wolf’s player 7 more Power Enhancements for thePowers listed above. His player chooses:<\/p>\n Based on Dark Wolf’s Awesomeness 7, he gets 90 BP to spend on Talents, and may take up to 22 BP of Weaknesses.<\/p>\n Dark Wolf’s player still needs to:<\/p>\n Final Notes:<\/strong><\/p>\n The “standard” method of creating Invulnerable heroes is a balanced, point-based system, and all heroes should end up roughly alike in power. 4C, on the other hand, uses random character creation. 4C characters will fit best into a campaign using the Nigh-Invulnerable rules, to preserve the wild, four-color feel of the old school games 4C is based on.<\/p>\n If you prefer a more free-form conversion, you certainly don’t have to use these rules! They’re meant as a guideline for helping move a character from one ruleset to another, particularly if you’re pretty familiar with 4C but not that familiar with Invulnerable yet. As always, do what’s most fun for your group and your game. If these tables make you break out in cold sweats, ditch the tables and use the normal character creation rules, or just assign the stats that look best to you. It’s your world to save, after all, hero!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Sometimes, you start a campaign, but want to switch to a different system later on.
