Ed's Notes: The original Doctor Fate is one of the most badass beings on earth and in the DCU. So much so, that playing him would not make for much of a challenge against anything short of a god-like antagonist. Later incarnations are nerfed enough that they make a slightly better kit for a PC, but this guy here is the real deal. And... DAMN.

2nd Edition sources rate his Str as 4, which makes a lot of sense, seeing as how he isn't likely to "punch" very often, and can use Magic more effectively for any heavy lifting anyway.

WaW Sourcebook omits the JLA and Infiniti Inc. Connections (naturally, since it takes place in the 1940's!) and includes the Equipment:

Amulet of Nabu [Body: 10] Miscellaneous Drawbacks: Without the Amulet, the Helmet's Sorcery Power is lowered to 30 AP's.

...This is... OK. Kinda cool, even. Maybe. But I really can't see it coming up in game play often enough, nor making enough of a difference if it did, to make it worth including here.

What SHOULD be included is Connection: All-Star Squadron (High).

Oh, and... Sweet Alex Ross picture. Haven't used one in a while. :)

Welcome!

Welcome to the Mayfair Games DC Heroes RPG online Character Database!

This is a older game, long out of print, but I was a huge fan of it (obviously) and would love to get a group back together at some point. In the meantime, I hope you find this resource to be both useful and enjoyable.

The information contained herein comes primarily from the second and third editions of the game, although if a character exists only in the (pre-Crisis) 1st edition, and I feel that their stats can be reasonably used and be a good fit with the later (post-Crisis) editions, I may include them as well, for completeness sake. Eventually all entries will include links to previously published versions of the character, and ALL character information on any given page will be cited back to the published source material. Links between the characters, their Connections, Teams, Bases of Operation, etc... will be included as often as possible - which should make this more interesting.

I may also include some notes with some of the entries, explaining how I might change the character in my campaigns - Handling connections differently (because I interpret the JLA and JLI my own way, and don't even recognize the JLE, for example), adding skills (how does Bat-Girl have a Batarang, but not the Weaponry skill?!) And in some cases just some general thoughts. (Likes/dislikes, head-scratchers, etc...)

I also think there should be a discussion, if people are interested in having one. So please leave comments, but also bear in mind that this is meant to be a FUN place for people with a shared interest and hobby. So, PLEASE, stay on topic and DON'T BE A DICK! ;)
