Troo, thank you for bringing this back! I was just thinking about this challenge not too long ago and wondering if it had been brought back around. I was going to do a roll, but your dice roller link does not work.

This site seems to work: https://rolladie.net/roll-a-d100-die

This one even lets you do all 3 rolls at once.

 

Roll 1: 72 - Tanker

Roll 2: 42 - Ice Armor

Roll 3: 89 - Super Strength

 

Well, not the worst setup ever, even though I hate Super Strength lol. I will have to find time to roll this up and report back on it.

Global: @Valnara1; Discord Handle: @Valnara#0620

I primarily play on Everlasting, but you may occasionally find me on Indom. 🙂

Notable Characters: Apocolyptica - Demons/Storm MM; Lurking Monster - Human-Form WS; Environmentabot - Bots/Nature MM; Miss Fade - Ill/Traps Controller; Sister Apocalypse - Beast/Dark MM; Dr. Elaina Wrath - Plant/Rad Controller (Join the House of Wrath, and spread the word of science!); Ruff Ruff Boom - AR/Devices Blaster

Made a perl script based on Troo's work, but I need to account for the combos not allowed like Katana with Shields.

Before accounting for that, we're at 2457 different combos.

 

That should subtract 28 combos if I'm doing that correct across the melee sets. So, 2429 different combos.

# Need to add exclusion of Shield not allowing Claws, Dual Blades, Katana, Spines, Staff Fighting, Titan Weapons
# Exclusion Stone Armor with Claws

Roll 1:   Mastermind-Ninjas/Kinetics (already have Ninja MM--though Kin would be fun)

Roll 2:  Peacebringer-TriForm  (already have one)

Roll 3:  Sentinel-Psychic Blast/Radiation Armor (already have Rad Armor Sentinel--might try Psy)

 

You could add

(Roll #1c if applicable)

PB/WS build:
0 to 25 = TriForm
26 to 50 = Human/Squid

51 to 75 = Human/Lobster
75 to 100 = Human only

 

I will ponder on whether I should make Speed Bosted Ninjas, or a mental Sentinel.

The pandandroid vs the mental sentinel like on pay per view!

I am ready for my April 1st Slot Machine's Random Challenge™.  Thank you, Troo, for the challenge.

 

The pandandroid is Key Panda.  Archetype and power sets are random rolls:  Mastermind-Ninjas/Kinetics.

the name is random from Seventh Sanctum - Silly Superhero Names, thanks to Skyhawke.

 

The alignment, Hero/Vigilante/Rouge/Villan, was a random roll: Rouge.  I un-randomly stayed out of Pretoria.  The origin was a random roll: Natural.  The body type was a random roll: Huge.  The body slider, Slim, Average, Athletic, Heavy, was a random roll: Average.  The costume was random.

I am ready to roll on the first week of April.  See you in Excelslor (no, I didn't random roll the shard.)

Did rolls. Got a Robotics/Elec Aff MM. this is probably the most sense that any of my rolls for this activity have ever made.:-) I’ll whip up a character soon.

 

UPDATE: Sheila Foyle loved her job at the Sweet Eats factory and distribution center. Especially the production center, where huge vats of chocolate swirled hypnotically. Thanks to her natural acumen (and days on the farm tinkering and enhancing Paw-Paw's machines), she was well on her way to becoming the 2nd assistant technician. But on her last shift, when she was installing the latest updates -- a new automation system intended to make the company's Andromeda bars even silkier and smoother -- a superpowered brawl between Dr. Maximo and the New Regulators spilled into the factory space. The impact of all that superpowered energy blasted her right into the first batch of Silkysmoothe. Still sizzling with the various effects in her system, she arose from the vat, finding her self strangle imbued with the power of her creamy creation. After a brief period of recovery and training -- during which she obtained a hefty settlement from the Regulators' lawyers for, among other things losing an eye -- she put her newfound skills to work, fashioning an FPG (fancy, powerful gun) and developing her choco-bots into instruments of justice. She now patrols Paragon City as the one and only SHOCKLATIER!

I like the idea of rolling out 3 toons, so here's my other two rolled characters:

 

62 - Stalker

53 - Martial Arts

25 - Energy Aura

 

88 - Soldier

31 - Huntsman

 

Well okay then... Slot machine really wants me to play melee when I usually play ranged/control characters lol

Rolled a Huntsman Soldier of Arachnos, a Kinetic Melee/Invulnerability Brute, and a Dual Blades/Ninjitsu Stalker. Since I've played Soldiers and Brutes before, I went with #3:
image.jpeg.c14d385fb67a5fa2693a01e03a6b6426.jpeg
(Random name and costume)
I decided on some additional restrictions for myself:
1. Not going to look up builds or advice for these powersets. I'm going in blind and figure it out as I go.
2. Not going to send him any INF or other goodies from my other characters. He's starting from scratch.
3. Not going to invite him to my super group. No teleporters for you! Ride the train, like a regular schmoe!
Wish me luck!

I know the goal is to play something random, hopefully something you don't often play but I keep rolling Masterminds and...no, just no.

Thanks again @Troo for bringing back the challenge this year. I enjoyed last year's challenge with Starbelle and look forward to this year's challenge.

 

Here are my three rolls:

 

1. 3-38-18 (Electric/Devices Blaster)

2. 34-67-31 (Illusion/Energy Dominator) 

3. 62-37-74 (Fire Melee/Shield Stalker)

 

I'm leaning towards the Dominator as I haven't managed to get one to 50, but I plan to create all three.

Posted

Thank you very much for the challenge!  First time...looking forward to it.

 

If we’re BYOR, I’ll go with one roll of three dice with two combinations: forward and backward.

(So A-B-C means Archetype A / Primary B / Secondary C and/or Archetype C / Primary B / Secondary A.)

 

And the roll is…oh, no.  No, that’s a practice roll.  I'll forfeit any bonuses and pay for the buffet, but no.  I mean, I can make them for the future, but not for this Challenge.  This is too important to mess with a…noooooooooooo.

 

Ok, for real this time:

 

20 – 51 – 73

Corruptor – Fire Blast – Storm Summoning (forward)

Dual Blades – Invulnerability – Tanker (backward)

 

Yep, these I can work with.  Here we go!  Best of luck to all!

@Rasset that's a nice twist. May have to do a One-Roll event.

 

My favorite part of this event is seeing what folks get and if they are excited or begrudgingly trying something that they would not have picked!

27-32-33 ( Defender - Kinetics - Dual Pistols ) it's the same AT and power sets backwards and forward, seems like fate.

 

other rolls:

95 ( Widow ) been there, and they are amazing

43-31-29 ( Mastermind - Mercenaries - Force Field ) welp, looks like I am rolling a Defender
