Paola I have backed Revolution D100 but have not yet read the beta stuff. Will it have some rules for players wanting powers or special abilities? I am thinking specifically of the powers section in the BGB as an example. Thanks!

The answer to you and to Archivist is below.

Aaaaaaand since you demanded them, ladies and gentlemen...

The AVENGERS (Joss Whedon version)

The Avengers are a Trademark of Marvel. The version of the Avengers provided here is inspired by the first movie by Joss Whedon. Powers and stunts in Italics have been devised specifically for these characters. The rest is as in normal Revolution Rules.

The shield allows the following extra stunts: Cover (add +4 instead of the usual +2 to a Coverage roll when Dodge is used – allowing to use its Resist effects on Coverage roll above 10), Return (recover thrown shield with a Ready Action if Cap spends a Combat Effect for this specific purpose on a successful hit). The other stunts allow to apply the similarly named melee Combat Effects on a successful ranged attack.

Notes: When in the green form, the Hulk loses access to Banner’s scientific skills: all skills related to INT and their traits, except Endurance, become unusable.

Looks real good.

Iron man, i've always thought of having olmost supernatural intelligence. Now I am by no means Any kind expert in this area. But to pull off what he's developed and created in the movies wouldn't a INT of 19 or 20 be more appropriate for him?

Paola,

This looks AWESOME but I wasn't thinking so much of superhero characters.  How would you model the following (Urban Fantasy):

- A bracelet that teleports the character 5 feet away after every attack? Sort of a blink attack...

- A cybernetic arm that has triple normal strength?

- Bio-engineered eyes that allow the user to see radiation?

Would the first and last one be done with spells? Will there be rules for cybernetics and bioengineering at some point? Perhaps in a supplement?

No reason for Ars Magica players to have all the fun!

Hmm, there is room for debate about this. I assigned INT 17 to Stark and 21 to Banner, as the latter is a typical bookworm who specialises in theoretical matters and the former takes care of every aspect of the creation of devices - possibly by assembling components created by someone else. And he also takes care of cute ladies. But it might be the opposite, depending on how you define INT.

The core principles in Revolution is that effects work similarly but can have multiple sources. So if a cybernetic implant provides an effect that works like a spell, the fact that it is a cybernetic implant is only relevant when you need to create or repair the item, not when determining its effect.

Example #1 sounds like a thiefly power for 13th Age to me. I would not recommend such a power in a d100 game. Besides, the Revolution rules say that if you are up to 5 metres away your foe can still attack you in melee by simply increasing the SR cost of the attack to 5, so this power would be useless in RD100.

Examples #2 and #3 are perfectly doable with the core rules: the procedure to invent or build them is already defined in Chapter 6d - Weird Science. This chapter is oriented towards Steampunk, not Cyberpunk, so you will find artifacts rather than implants, but it is rather easy to make the switch. Now that you suggested it, we might add more cyberpunk examples in this chapter.

Example #2 is illustrated by the Robocop and Iron Man examples. Such an implant will provide the Enhance STR power, with Might chosen as the attribute influenced by the power.

For example #3, the power is Detect Radiation. It is not listed as usually available with scientific gadgets, but the "available for power system" list of each power is merely a guideline. If you want bionic eyes that "see" radiation, use the Goggles gadgets as a template for eye implants.
