Fate Core Pregens: The Avengers

After discussing elements of Iron Man’s armor people began asking me to stat up other characters (even though I never actually wrote Iron Man’s stat block…). I think it’s time I rectified that, so I give you:

      2. I don’t believe so. No one cares about Tony Stark, except that he’s Iron Man. The aspects record what he as an individual fairly well, and his skills are closer to a mechanic than an armored combat hero.

        If you remove the armor bits, he’s about as powerful and tough as a team of minions, which is consistent with what we see – in fact, he needs to create advantages with Crafts to invent gear in order to even take them out, if you go by what we see in IM3.

        Same reason I wouldn’t stat up Bruce Banner outside of the Hulk. Frankly, he’s a plot device and all around weakness at that point. An aspect to hint at it is enough for me.

        That’s not to say that you may not do it. But transformation gets sticky. I much prefer writing up the most powerful form and hinting at aspects that can be compelled to cripple the hero when their lesser forms crop up.

    1. I’m glad you like them. 🙂

      This was actually only a test to see what was possible in building heroes as starting characters. During the process of this, and the subsequent Justice League stat blocks, I found several issues in the core rules that would benefit from a slight change to get supers just right.

      After I finish my current work of fiction and the asian steampunk setting I’m developing, I’m planning on doing something “official” (meaning professional, but not Evil Hat “official”) with supers in Fate.

      That’s also conveniently after I’ll get my hands on the toolkit draft and see the options they recommend there. 😉

  10. I realize I am three years later, but why isn’t there any notion of flight for iron man or Thor? Is it a part of their aspects?
    Sorry I’m a fate newby.
