Ed's Notes: Mental Illusion works slightly differently that the standard Illusion Power: Make an Action Check using the AP's of the Power against the target's Int/Mind. If RAP's exceed the target's Mind, the victim perceives whatever the user wishes, with no telepathic contact necessary. This will persist for an amount of time equal to the RAP's in excess of the target's Mind. Subsequent checks can be made before the time is up to continue the illusions.

The victim can subconsciously combat the effects of this by making a check of his Int/Will as the AV/EV against the user AP's of the power, and Hero Point expenditure on the OV/RV is not allowed. If the RAP's exceed the AP's of the user's power, then the victim perceptions return to normal.

Similar to the illusion power, a target will sustain Mind damage (that they perceive as Physical damage) if they are attacked by illusory assailants or dangers. Any such illusory danger of enemy will fight with Attributes, Skills and Powers equal to the user's AP of the Power.

BTW... This power can be used to affect a sleeping person's DREAMS as well.

Welcome!

Welcome to the Mayfair Games DC Heroes RPG online Character Database!

This is a older game, long out of print, but I was a huge fan of it (obviously) and would love to get a group back together at some point. In the meantime, I hope you find this resource to be both useful and enjoyable.

The information contained herein comes primarily from the second and third editions of the game, although if a character exists only in the (pre-Crisis) 1st edition, and I feel that their stats can be reasonably used and be a good fit with the later (post-Crisis) editions, I may include them as well, for completeness sake. Eventually all entries will include links to previously published versions of the character, and ALL character information on any given page will be cited back to the published source material. Links between the characters, their Connections, Teams, Bases of Operation, etc... will be included as often as possible - which should make this more interesting.

I may also include some notes with some of the entries, explaining how I might change the character in my campaigns - Handling connections differently (because I interpret the JLA and JLI my own way, and don't even recognize the JLE, for example), adding skills (how does Bat-Girl have a Batarang, but not the Weaponry skill?!) And in some cases just some general thoughts. (Likes/dislikes, head-scratchers, etc...)

I also think there should be a discussion, if people are interested in having one. So please leave comments, but also bear in mind that this is meant to be a FUN place for people with a shared interest and hobby. So, PLEASE, stay on topic and DON'T BE A DICK! ;)
