Oh Mighty Isis!

Joanna Cameron, the actress who played Isis on the 1970's  Saturday morning show "Isis", just passed away. So, in her honor and as a tribute in my own small way, I present Isis as a V&V3.0: Mighty Protectors superhero.

To transform into Isis, Andrea Thomas pulls out her amulet (hidden under her dress) and says the phrase "Oh, Mighty Isis!" 

Because Isis has such a vast array of powers, I used the Arsenal ability with Mobile and Gear modifiers to simulate the amulet! In order to activate any of her abilities she must speak a rhyme. For example, every time she needs to fly she utters the phrase: "Oh, zephyr winds on high, lift me now so I may fly!" All of her abilities are like this, which is why every arsenal slot has the Requires Speech modifier.

Isis likely has many more abilities than the ones listed, but the ones that I saw on the show are in the arsenal as presented. There are a lot more unfilled slots and options, if you want to add more.

Starship SN9

 Here's a vehicle write-up for the SN9 SpaceX rocket that is being tested down in Boca Chica, Texas.

Note that this is not terribly realistic but will work for your V&V3.0: Mighty Protectors campaign if you want to have this rocket be a part of an adventure!

Krayt Dragon

SPOILER ALERT!

Season 2, Episode 1 of the Mandalorian features a cool monster -- the Krayt Dragon. So, here's my Mighty Protectors write-up of it, although this version has to be a smaller version than the one shown in the show because Size Change A) Larger only goes to a maximum of 61 feet.

The Krayt Dragon doesn't have a great chance to hit but remember that its two main attacks, biting and acid spray, are both area effect attacks -- which get a +6 bonus to hit.

Please note that the Tunneling ability comes from the New MP Abilities document that can be found at: http://monkeyhousegames.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/New-MP-Abilities-4-2.pdf
