This is the last Superhero Saturday that we will be making a random character from the Gamemaster’s kit and it will be the Gadgeteer!

We start with the Abilities section and we roll a 14, so our hero will be a Gimmick. We roll on the Energy Controller table to see what energy type the hero is a genius. We get a 4 so it is cosmic energy! We add the abilities into the character sheet and we are at 50/150PP from the start!

For the Advantagestable, we start we A LOT of automatic items, including a headquarters! After that, we roll an 11 so the hero is a Tinkerer. We add those advantages to the character sheet and we reach 61/150PP.

Under the Skills section, we again begin with a long list of automatic skills. After those are added to the character, we roll on the table and get a 2, businessman/woman. The hero knows about running a company. That puts us at 87/150PP used up to this point.

For the Powers section, we will roll on an Offensive Powers table first. We roll a 20 so the hero has a High-tech Arsenal array. It consists of a ray gun, with alternate effects for a power truncheon, a stunner, and force capsule grenades. For the Defensive Powers table, we roll a 10, so the hero has an Energy-absorbing bodysuit. For the Movement Powers table, we roll a 14, so the hero has a flight harness (that’s cool), and for their Innate Powers, we roll a 14, so they are a polymath (very fast at mental tasks!) That gets us to 127/150PP used.

We add the Defenses to the character sheet and we reach 150/150PP used.

A quick Internet search for an image produces this:

We give her the name Dr. Sara Powers, Cosmic Scientist! For complications, we go with Fame and Rivalry. Dr. Powers makes sure everyone knows of her identity as a superhero (it’s good for business) and her rivalry is a scientific competitor that she is always trying to one-up! She has a ray gun that can shoot cosmic blasts that do damage or they can be set to stun (the rays mess with the target’s brain, shutting it down for a short amount of time). The ray gun can also fire capsule grenades or can transform into a charged nightstick that does decent damage too.

Keep on gaming!
