M&M 3e Super-Swordsman
M&M 3e Mighty Normal
M&M Dark Sun
Shadow of the Colossus
Master Sword, D&D

(M&M 3e Original)

Name: [Archetype - Modern Super-Swordsman (or Swordswoman)]
PL/PP: 10/150
Str: 2 Sta: 2
Agi: 6 Dex: 4
Fig: 10 Int: 1
Awa: 4 Pre: 3
Dodge: 15 Parry: 15
Toughness: 5 Fort: 5 Will: 7
Initiative: +10
Offense:
* Sword +15 close, 5 damage, 19-20 critical
* Unarmed +10 close, 2 damage
Advantages: assessment, defensive attack, defensive roll 2, equipment (sword, leather jacket) 1, improved defense, improved disarm, improved initiative 1, improved smash, move-by action, power attack, precise attack (close, both) 2, quick draw, takedown 2, uncanny dodge, weapon bind
Skills: acrobatics 4, athletics 8, close combat - sword 5, deception 2, insight 6, intimidation 2, investigation 4, perception 6, persuasion 2, sleight of hand 6, stealth 4, treatment 1, vehicles 6
Complications:
* Style Focused - the following advantages do not work without a sword (defensive attack, improved defense, improved disarm, improved smash, power attack, precise attack, quick draw, takedown, weapon bind)
* Reputation - known for legendary skill, which often attracts challengers
Powers:
* Superhuman Acrobatics - Speed 1 (60ft move), Movement (safe fall) 1, Leaping 2 (30ft jump)
* Superhuman Swordsmanship - sword damage has: Multiattack 5, Penetrating 5, Affects Insubstantial 2, Incurable, Triggered 2

* * *

For some comparisons and explanations:
Experienced and trained soldiers have around a +5 attack and do 1 damage unarmed. So 2x the unarmed skill and damage, and with a sword 3x the skill and 2-3x the damage of a soldier with a combat knife.
A Hawk has a dodge and parry of 7, so the swordsman is over twice as difficult to actually strike as a diving raptor. 3x the defensive skill of a veteran normal human.
Through a combination of reflexes and a leather coat, they are as well protected as though wearing light plate armor.
60% chance to endure tear gas without penalty.
50% chance to be able to walk at full speed across a very slippery ledge less than 1ft wide.
Can walk at 4mph (60ft per move action, about 10ft per second), jog at twice that. Can broad-jump 30ft casually. So long as they can act, they never suffer falling damage.
So long as they drop a minion (extra) with an attack, that attack does not consume their action. They can keep attacking minions until they fail to drop one or run out of targets they can reach (they can move between these attacks).

Name: [Archetype - Normal person, impossible might]
PL/PP: 10/150
Str: 17 Sta: 17
Agi: 3 Dex: 2
Fig: 3 Int: 1
Awa: 3 Pre: 4
Dodge: 3 Parry: 3
Toughness: 17 Fort: 17 Will: 3
Initiative: +3
Offense:
* Unarmed +3 close, 17 damage, 18-20 critical
Advantages: accurate attack, attractive 1, extraordinary effort, fearless, improved critical (unarmed) 2, interpose, takedown 2, ultimate effort (toughness saves)
Skills: acrobatics 2, athletics 3, insight 2, investigation 3, perception 2, stealth 2, treatment 3, vehicles 3
Complications:
* Collateral Damage - It'll happen.
* Easily Distracted - Pays surprisingly little attention to even important stuff, can be distracted pretty readily.
Powers:
* Enhanced Strength 3 (limited to lifting -1; 25k tons)
* Impervious Toughness 17 (takes 10+ damage to try and harm)
* Leaping 5 (250ft)
* Burrowing 5 (30/15/6ft)

* * *

For some comparisons and explanations:
An attack and defense of 3 is pretty typical of a competent but not veteran human. Around the equivalent of maybe 6-ish attack dice in exalted or a +6 to hit in D&D, good for your average combatant but not really astounding. Which is the idea with this character, to be powerful but an otherwise normal person stat-wise.
17 damage and toughness means this character punches for more damage than a ballistic missile (just a smaller area of effect), and can withstand routinely the deck cannons of a battleship. With the Ultimate Effort advantage, the character can spend a hero point to automatically get a 37 on their toughness, enough to ignore up to +22 damage (basically off the scale).
Impervious of that rank means that if you do less than 10 damage (equivalent to the main gun of a modern tank), this character simply ignores it.
Burrowing I put in simply because I can see such strength being able to plow through most materials fast enough to move at a good speed through it. And 'cause it's sort of funny.
Didn't bother with speed since you can make a DC15 athletics check as a free action to gain +1 movement rate for a turn, and this person has a +20 to the check. So routinely can go 60ft as a move action.

Ancient Sword of Light
Artifact

Ancient Sword of Light – Heroic Level
An old, yet well preserved weapon that tapers slightly near the middle of the blade's length. It was used to seal a great evil in days long past, and is the key to the power that was locked away. The promise it brings is one of having any wish granted, though if it can or not is unknown. Owning this weapon is forbidden, it is to remain hidden so the evil cannot be released.
The Ancient Sword of Light is a +2 longsword with the following properties:
Enhancement: Attack rolls and damage rolls.
Critical: +2d6 damage.
Property: You can clearly identify a weak point on a colossus when within 5 squares of one. This weapon can always damage the weak points on a colossus, even if no other weapon can.
Property: You can wield the Ancient Sword of Light as though it were a short sword.
Power (At-Will): Standard Action. Requirement: You must be standing in direct sunlight. Effect: The light gathers and points directly toward the nearest colossus. If you are within sight range of the colossus, this points out a weak point.
Power (Daily * Healing): No Action. Trigger: You die. Effect: You return to life at the next dawn, at the last shrine you visited, with hit points equal to your bloodied value.

Goals of the Ancient Sword of Light
Seek out one worthy to slay the colossi.
Destroy the colossi.
Grant the deepest wish of the wielder.

Roleplaying the Ancient Sword of Light
The sword exists for one purpose, to destroy the colossi. It is singular in that drive and urges its wielder to the same obsessive focus. Even basic concerns of comfort, or even health, fall to the wayside. Constantly the wielder is reminded of why they claimed the sword and are seeking the colossi, to gain the power needed to fulfill a single deeply held wish. The sword does not communicate directly with its wielder, but rather seeks those willing to sacrifice everything for their goal and promotes that desire.

Concordance
Starting score – 5
Owner gains a level, +1d10
Owner slays a colossus, +2
Owner eats and sleeps only when convenient instead of seeking shelter or proper nutrition, +1/day
Owner flees from a colossus, -1
Owner spends more than 1 hour in a day providing for their basic needs, -1
Owner dies, -1
Owner abandons their currently held wish for another, -2

Pleased (16-20)
“Nothing else matters.”
The wielder thinks of nothing but their goal. Bedraggled, worn and likely close to death, the focus and will of the wielder has never been stronger.
Property: You gain a +2 bonus to Will defense.
Power (Encounter * Healing): Standard Action. Requirement: Must be bloodied. Effect: You gain regeneration 5 until you are unconscious or no longer bloodied.

Satisfied (12-15)
“I will sacrifice myself if necessary...”
The wielder thinks about their wish whenever their mind wanders, and puts little concern toward themselves. They are likely weary but still willful and determined.
Enhancement: Increases to +3.
Critical: Increases to +3d6 damage.
Property: You need only half the normal time for an extended rest and can survive on half the food and water you normally need.

Normal (5-11)
“I must do this... I must.”
The wielder has their wish firmly in mind, and still has the will to go on.

Unsatisfied (1-4)
“I... I cannot do this... I... I can't...”
The wielder is faltering, losing their conviction or not finding their wish worth the hardship. Their dreams are insistent and terrifying. Food tastes like ash in their mouth.
Special: You recover only up to your bloodied value in hit points from an extended rest instead of recovering fully. You cannot spend more than one healing surge during a short rest.
Special: The sword loses the Daily healing power until Normal or better concordance.

Angered (0 or lower)
“I couldn't do it... I'm sorry. I failed.”
The sword either drives its wielder to suicide, or seeks a way for the wielder to lose it so it can find a new owner.

Moving On
“I did it.”
The wielder's wish is fulfilled, at the cost of their life. If the wish was pure and righteous, the wielder's soul may be reborn in a new body to begin a new life. If not, the soul is consumed and no resurrection is possible.

General Skill Challenge: Slaying a Colossus

General
Complexity – Special (5)
Difficulty Level – Character's Level + 4

Stage 1 – Finding the Way Up
4 successes needed.
Primary Skills: Arcana (to determine where it's vulnerable, hard DC, one success possible), Athletics (to jump on when you have the chance, moderate DC, one success possible), Endurance (to outrun pursuit or run it down, hard DC, two successes possible), Perception (to look for possibilities, moderate DC, one success possible), Ranged Attack (to injure a softer part and slow it down or drop it low enough to climb, hard DC, one success possible).
Options: Acrobatics (to evade attacks, reaction to failed primary check, moderate DC, allows reroll), Heal (to quickly patch up and recover, easy DC, allows character to spend a healing surge but they suffer -2 on the next primary roll), Insight (to read the colossus' movements, hard DC, allows up to two total successes from Perception), Perception (to find useful terrain nearby, easy DC, gives +2 to next primary roll).
Using the At-Will power of the Ancient Sword of Light to locate weak points counts as the Arcana success, but the character must make an Acrobatics check to evade an attack or suffer damage as though from a failed primary roll.
Failure: Failing any primary roll inflicts damage to the character equal to ¼ of their maximum hit points as the colossus strikes true. Failing an option roll denies the benefit, and in the case of Insight the option cannot be used again during this stage.

Stage 2 – Colossus Climb
3 successes needed, at least one must come from Athletics.
Primary Skills: Athletics (to climb, moderate DC, one success possible), Endurance (to hold on while being shaken off, hard DC, two successes possible), Insight (to intuit when the shake-off attempts will happen, hard DC, one success possible), Melee Attack (to hurt the creature and distract it momentarily, hard DC, one success possible), Perception (to quickly find better handholds, moderate DC, one success possible).
Options: Dungeoneering or Nature, depending on environment (to remember obstacles that might slow the colossus down and better time the climb, hard DC, allows up to two total successes from Athletics), Endurance (to hold on without progress until the colossus calms down, hard DC, negates one failure during this stage, can be used up to two times), Perception (to re-evaluate climbing path, easy DC, gives +2 on next Athletics or Endurance check).
Failure: Failing two primary rolls throws the character off the colossus. They suffer damage equal to their bloodied value and must repeat step 1, retaining no successes except one from Arcana if it was already gained.

Stage 3 – Strike Where It's Vulnerable
5 successes needed, at least three must come from Melee Attacks.
Primary Skills: Athletics (to leap over obstacles and climb up additional heights when needed, hard DC, one success possible), Acrobatics (to balance when shaken off, moderate DC, one success possible), Insight (to intuit the colossus' movements and time attacks best, hard DC, one success possible), Melee Attack (to strike weak points, hard DC, three successes possible), Perception (to find the best route between weak points, hard DC, one success possible)
Options: Athletics (to climb to the best striking position, hard DC, next Melee Attack roll is made at moderate DC), Endurance (to brace while on top, easy DC, gives +2 to next primary roll), Heal (to quickly patch up and recover, easy DC, allows character to spend a healing surge but they suffer -2 on the next primary roll), Nature (to get a lay of the land from the high ground, moderate DC, reduces damage from failing this stage by half).
Failure: Failing three primary rolls throws the character off the colossus. They suffer damage equal to ¾ their maximum hit points and must repeat step 1, retaining no successes except one from Arcana if it was already gained.

Victory
If all successes are finally gathered, the Colossus is slain. The character gains experience as though they defeated five enemies of their Level + 4. Often at lower levels this is enough to gain a level.

* * *

Sample Colossus – The First



Level 5 Challenge (DC 7/12/17), 1000xp

As general template, except:
Endurance cannot be the first primary skill roll.
Once the Colossus notices the character, which happens if it sees them or the character uses any primary skill except perception, it attempts to attack. Every two turns, until the character succeeds at Endurance, it attacks the character with +8 vs Reflex. On a hit, the character suffers damage equal to ¼ of their maximum hit points. On a miss the character must make a saving throw or be knocked prone and dazed until the end of their next action, which prevents primary skill rolls until the turn after.
The character may use Melee Attack in place of Ranged Attack to gain a success at Stage 1, by striking the back of the Colossus' leg.
Because the Colossus is comparatively small, failing at Stage 2 only inflicts damage equal to ¼ the character's maximum hit points. Failing at Stage 3 only inflicts damage equal to the character's bloodied value.
