The players also disliked the resistance checks to negate any effect of a successful attack. 1st, 2nd, 3rd, & 4th) was a little awkward. I found the lack of health or hp’s a little jarring during the first session and despite having a Doctoral degree calculating the degrees of success and failure on the fly (i.e. This plays out until the accumulation of conditions renders one side incapacitated. a successful resistance check negates the effects of the attack. there are no hit points and results for attacks cause various conditions based on degree of failure of the resistance check. if you hit then the target makes a resistance check against your effect/power/attack DC to determine effects. If an attack requires and attack roll you role to hit against the targets Defense Class.
punch, kick, blast etc) or use a power with some kind of effect (i.e mind control) it doesn’t subtract from some form of health but instead lays a condition.
So if you hit and damage an opponent ( i.e. In terms of the gameplay, combat encounters are resolved by applying “conditions” on opponents. Overall, I liked the character generation system, as it was fairly flexible and customizable enough to build whatever hero concept you have. This then allowed for a fairly dramatic scene with the current earth’s Trickster, seething with anger over his material/act being stolen by this upstart hack, challenging the player to a yo-yo duel. Thus we ended up with someone playing The Trickster from an alternate earth as a hero. I encouraged the players to only use the hero’s continuity or established fiction if they felt that it would help them and to add/make up whatever they wanted. If I was going to run a longer game I think I would have insisted on everyone making their own characters. Given that I was running a limited scenario I let players use any hero or villain with a power level of 10/super hero.

The total power points available to pimp your character with is determined by the series power level (masked adventurers, super heroes, big leagues, and world-protectors) which is meant to loosely keep the characters balanced to the style of game you want to play. Characters are built by spending power points on bumping ability scores, skills, powers, and advantages (essentially feats). The game is built around the d20 system so largely familiar to anyone who has played dungeons and dragons, particularly 3 rd edition. The production value on the core and supplemental books is amazing, with art taken directly from the comic books, and on par with anything I have seen WOTC put out.

I chose DC Adventures (aka Mutants and Masterminds 3 rd Edition) largely as a bit of a break from the fantasy genre, plus just seeing my favorite DC Heroes and Villains stated up made me a little turgid below the equator. This year will be my gaming equivalent of “the summer of George”, and DC Adventures has kicked off the festivities. I wanted to be able to walk into my basement and not feel their lonely eyes burrow into my soul from their perch atop my bookshelf, a shameful and constant reminder of my lack of impulse control and its’ consequences. This was really the first step in a painfully slow and awkward process of branching out from 4 th edition Dungeons and Dragons and making use of the bajillion (that’s a word right?) RPG’s I have purchased over the past several years.
The DC Adventure game I have been threatening people with finally took place this month so I thought I might hurl my two cents in your face for your consideration.
