[Character Creation] How to make Daredevil?

[Richard_Chilton]

I agree - it's just the real life people who do it are (as far as I know) Pure Mortals.

Listening to the interview was interesting.  360 degree vision, around some corners, but no colour or fine details.

The form of echolocation that is discussed in those links seems fairly limited.  Amazing, yes -- but while the individuals can use it to perform basic tasks, their echolocation isn't really combat-grade, let alone of Daredevil's caliber.

So I'd use that as a standard.  If you want to be blind but able to perform basic tasks via echolocation, then by all means use aspects (or even stunts) to represent it, even on a Pure Mortal.  But if you want your echolocation to be a fully-functional, combat-grade, sight replacement -- or even provide enhancements over mundane sight, such as 'enjoyed' by Daredevil, then the Supernatural Senses power is what you're looking for (at the loss of Pure Mortal status).

Thanks for the plug, Silverblaze. The power in question is:

SUPERHUMAN ACROBATICS [-1]
Description: Gravity doesn't seem to apply to you the way it does to normal people. You can dance on a tightrope and jump like a flea.
Skills Affected: Athletics, Stealth
Effects:
Inhuman Balance. You can move freely and without penalty over any surface sturdier than a spiderweb. You never fall accidentally and you may add four to your Athletics skill when using it to resist an attempt to knock you down.
Impossible Jumps. Add four to your Athletics skill when using it to jump.
Soft Landing. You are immune to falling damage.

As for the mortal echolocation thing, I agree with Becq. And I'd like to add that the Pure Mortal bonus is a mechanical thing Even if you're not a mortal human at all you can still have it as long as you have no Powers, and even you're a mortal human you might lose it.

Just a note regarding Daredevil's Enhanced Hearing/Echolocation, he has been known to do various Superhuman/Supernatural level things with it, and the two abilities, while mechanically slightly separate, should be considered as part of a whole suite of enhanced senses. Take these few things as a sign of the level of "power" his abilities give:

• Read a newspaper by feeling the print,
• Recognize people by the combination of scent and heartbeat,
• Pinpoint people by the sound of their heartbeat and breathing

He can also sense where a bullet is going to be (by where the gun is pointed) and deflect the bullet with his baton.

Which, as an aside, is probably not something that even an extraordinarily well-trained human echolocator can do.

Which is why he should have Inhuman Speed, I think.

Well, the other problem is: what version of Dardevil are we using? Classic DD? The later runs? Heck, even Iron Fist took over for Daredevil at one point.

Frank Miller Deadpool. Make it classic
