Ed's Notes: Too cool a character to pass up. The biggest change I made from the Writeups entry was the way his Tranq Rifle works. Their interpretation was... weird. I don't know... I think I know what they were going for? But it was definitely NOT "Occam Legal." (Lol - I still can't believe they claim that to be rule of theirs!) So I did what I think they wanted the way I would have. As with most of these things, I'm happy to consider any feedback to improve on anything that I may be missing the mark on, so please feel free to let me know in the comments. 

(Oh, and since "Enhanced Initiative" isn't a thing in DCH, I just dropped that and gave him Lightning Reflexes instead.)

Ed's Notes: Second Edition sources give him 50 Hero Points and omit his Connection: Green Arrow (High). In addition the Background Rosterbook omits the Acid, Boxing Glove, Cryonic, Sonic and Smokescreen Arrows, but includes:

Stun Arrow [Str: 8, Body: 1]

Parachute Arrow [Str: 4, Body: 1, Gliding: 2]

..which the Titans sourcebook omits.  Titans soucebook also list the Acid Arrow as Acid: 8 and the Boxing Glove Arrow as EV: 8. The Background Rosterbook lists the Bola, Handcuff  and Net Arrows as having a Str/Body of 7/7 and the Grappling hook arrow as having a Str of 7.  Quantities vary by source as well.

Ed's Notes: Ah, DC's resident crackpot. I love this guy, honestly. Would be fun to play in a detective/noir-type setting.  2nd Edition rates his Mind at 7 and omits his connection to all of those other heroes.  The Batman RPG Leaves off his Acrobatics Skills and Area Knowledge Advantage.

Ed's Notes: I would change his JLA Connection to (High). The 2nd Edition character is only a little but different, with the Justice League Sourcebook reference different times in his career (when he had Weaponry of 13, and Wealth as high as 12,) and the Background Roster Book dropping all of his Connections expect to Black Canary. But the MAIN difference is the inclusion of all of his trick arrows. Which I would also include in game play:

Equipment:
Acetylene Arrow [Body: 1, Heat Vision: 8, R#: 2]

Acid Arrow [Body: 1, Acid: 8, R#: 2]

Bola Arrow [Str: 8, Body: 10, R#: 2]

Tear Gas Arrow [Body: 1, EV: 8, Fog: 8, R#: 2] RAP's lower opponent's Dex

6 AP AC Omni-Arrow (x2)

Also... Notice the lack of a Gadgetry Skill?  His Weaponry Skill would all him to repair his bow, and perhaps replenish, normal Arrows.  But how would he go about replacing the trick ones without the Gadgetry Skill?  If the rating of 12 seems to high to use for the Gadgetry Attempt, you might give him:

Skills: 
Gadgetry: 7

...based on most of the Arrows having powers of 8. But adjust as desired. (I considered a rating of 6, but figured he's burning enough hero points already. OR, make it 6 or lower, but give him the Advantage: Scholar (Trick Arrow Construction)? Lol. I don't know. Just seems like an oversight to me.
