Halls of the Nephilim

 Today's challenge character is joining us from Yggdrasil and was created using Guardians. Also, I rolled stats using my Batman dice.

Lucha Underground has been added to Netflix and I've fallen in love with it. I grew up watching wrestling and fell away from it (though I still follow it a bit because of friends). That being said, I've always been in love with lucha libre. As far as I'm concerned, people like Santos and Blue Demon were real life super heroes. I've decided to convert the only Mutants and Masterminds character I've actually played, El Hijo de Lobo Plata, to a new supers system I've fallen for, Guardians.

THE WANDERING NEPHIL (Nathaniel "Neph" Avery)

HP: 48 EP: 17 ST: 6 AC 8/12

New Limit: 

Empathic: This (luckily) rare limit typically only applies to the healing power. When the character uses this power, they effectively take the wounds and injuries they are healing into themselves. They take a point of damage for every HP they heal.

Now that I've talked about Guardians, I thought I'd stat out some characters. I'm going to start with a 1st level rookie , Kid Nephil (formerly Kid Nephilim, before I thought about how silly that his name was plural).

Ryan Avery is a third generation hero. His grandfather is the archangel, Avarialus, who was notably active on Earth during the 1860's and 70's. His father is the deceased vigilante, The Wandering Nephil, and his mother is the retired (and reformed) villainess, Ms. Direction. He's a young hero and has only recently recieved his mother's blessing to take up the family business. Calling himself Kid Nephil, he dispenses justice and mercy with the help of his father's blade, nicknamed Smiter, and healing abilities.

Guardians has a great premise.

"What if the original roleplaying game was inspired by colorful superheroes rather than Tolkenesque fantasy?"

Like the other games at Original Edition, Guardians builds off a rules set that most of us love and know.

Instead of a race, you pick an origin, which are broad categories that let you know how many starting powers, gifts (exceptional advantages), limits (weaknesses/disadvantages associated with powers), and issues (universal drawbacks anyone can have) you have. Remember, this is based on original edition so there are classes that go from 1-10. Characters are supers though, so they have more starting hit points and abilities than other characters with similar levels. The four classes are bruiser, super-agent, power wielder, and gadgeteer. There's a large selection of powers to choose from and when combined with the classes allow you to make a wide variety of character types.

I've not played Guardians yet. I just bought it Thursday evening, so I've not had the opportunity. Still I'm really excited to give it a test drive. Because of the base game it's built on, it's so super easy to pull from all of those classic games we know and love. The book is currently on sale at Drivethru RPG, you can purchase it here. Anyone else played it? If so, what did you think?
