PU 2 Immortal Question

Unread post by Amberjack »

Under Demi-god it says he gets Superhuman strength, but then says to roll as Mega-hero, shouldn't he be Supernatural strength if a Mega-Hero?

Also says gets a Mega Ability, is this a bonus ability on top of one for being a mega? Does the Demi-god also get an Achilles heel?

And lastly, as a Mega-Hero does he get the Base S.D.C. plus 50%, or the Base S.D.C. plus any from powers with +50% from any additional S.D.C.

If it says Roll up as a Mega-Hero (see pages 178-185) then yes that immortal is
rolled up like a Mego Hero with all the Mega Abilities as listed on those pages. If it
says you possess the Immortal power described on page 181 of HU2, then you
only possess the Immortality Mega Power and are not a Mega-Hero. So Dragon,
Godling, Demon Lord, and Demi-Gods are Mega Characters. The other immortals
classes are not true Mega Heroes, but because of the abilities, attributes, and
etc they can be considered Mega Heroes as optional player characters.

By what your saying here, the Demi-god gets the Superhuman Strength minor power, but since he also is a Mega-hero his strength is considered supernatural. Also if it sys to roll as Mega-hero he should get the powers common to all Mega-heros.

It means he gets the PS boost provided by superhuman strength, but it's still supernatural.

And lastly, as a Mega-Hero does he get the Base S.D.C. plus 50%, or the Base S.D.C. plus any from powers with +50% from any additional S.D.C.


+50% to all total SDC, like normal.

1) The Demigod immortal gets SHPS, the class specifics supersedes the mega-hero specifics. (This is not unique to just the Demigod immoral, other Immortal classes also specifically states what type of PS the class has.)

2) It says that they get the immortal power and another, thus stating that they get the immortal power on top of the mega power they get from rolling as a mega hero. They are rolled as a Mega hero, and the class does not say the omit any 'Achilles' Heel', so they still get an 'Achilles' Heel'.

3) The HP and SDC are listed as base HP & SDC. So sticking with the immortal class text supersedes the Megahero text, do not add +50% to the base SDC. The DG class also lists a nightvision range that would not be changed according to the immortal class text supersedes stance.
May you be blessed with the ability to change course when you are off the mark.
