What Do I Know?

This is the Destroyer as I used him in last night’s Marvel Heroic Roleplaying Event.  Essentially, it’s a “Greatest Hits” version of the Destroyer, powered by a soul that animates it, and basically wrecking everything in it’s path.

As a side note, the Destroyer can, as a technicality, hold Thor’s hammer, since it’s a construct and not alive  (not worthy or unworthy, just another creation of Odin).

I was tempted to give the Destroyer the rumored d12 “Supremacy” specialties that cosmic characters in Annihilation might have access to, but I decided against it, for two reasons.  This is the Destroyer powered by an “average” soul, or by Loki by remotely projecting part of his soul into the construct.  

The “Supremacy” dice should probably be reserved for when the Destroyer has been prepped to do something really major by the Powers that Be.  Still, I can almost see a Menace Supremacy for this thing . . . 

The other reason I held back was due to the fact that I’m not quite sure if you will be able to do the full march down the die scale.  For example, will you be able to split a Supremacy into 2 d10s, or 3 d8s, or even 4 d6s?  

As it stands, the Destroyer seemed to be plenty formidable last night, and that was without me using any Doom Pool dice to shrug off stress.
