Well, here's Murphy in all her glory. I decided in PL 8 for her, as she's a mortal, but a tough mortal. Her only power really isn't a power, it's just a result of her excellent martial arts training. I think she turned out pretty well myself. Nothing too big going on, really, but she works well and can kick some tail.

Well, I finally finished Michael - and he was harder to do than I thought. I had to spend a few days scouring the books, looking for just what Amoracchius could do, power wise. I think I probably missed a few things, but the basic set up is pretty good. It's actually fairly cheap, power-wise. As for Michael, he's a fanny-kicking mamba jamba even without the sword. He's more or less a riff off the weapons-master archetype, with a few tweaks. The biggest one is his luck - which in this case is divine intervention. Given his rather nasty drawbacks, he should always have plenty of hero points to pull off one time power "miracles" or to be in the right place at the right time. Actually, the DM is probably fiating him being in the right place, which actually earns him another hero point. His well informed feat represents the wide nation of churchs, that and he always seems to be where he needs to be. All in all, I'm happy with how he turned out.

Very nice! Keep 'em coming! ;D
I may use these in an upcoming campaign. I was uncertain as to which system to use, but M&M is really nice because of the way they handle powers and such.

Surprisingly, it handles the dresden-verse pretty darn well, actually. I'll have to dig around my massive number of text files, and see if I can't find my Dresden-verse M&M templates. I have templates for Wizard, White Court Vampire, Black Court Vampire, Red Court Vampire, and Changeling. Mostly they're just a package deal you buy that gives you all the common abilities (like wizards all get soulgaze (which I'm still not quite happy with how I have it) and wizard's sight, for example).
It's not foolproof by any means, and I think the Dresden RPG is going to be a much better fit, but it does work pretty nicely.
Cheers,
Save vs DM

Well, when you think about M&M as a superhero comic book RPG it's not too much of a stretch to imagine that it could handle any other sort of high-powered campaign, and Harry Dresden sure has elements of high-power.
I'm looking forward to seeing your other templates!
