Mighty Marvel Milestones...

[Doc Hydrogen]

Show me your 'stones.

Okay, so enough of that, let's get some milestones going.

Not mine but I saw it posted on a discussion somewhere. It's very meta but also perfect for the character.

Milestone: Merc with a Mouth
1xp when you make another player laugh.
3xp when you make the entire table laugh.
10xp when everyone at the table agrees you are never allowed to play Deadpool again.

[Nintaku]

My friends here agree that someone just earned 10xp.

Here are a few Milestones I've made for my forum-based games.

Setting Priorities
1 XP when...you acknowledge your civilian or heroic life while in the other identity.
3 XP when...you let your civilian life interfere with your heroic career.
10 XP when...you decide to focus on real life over superheroism, or choose to continue heroics in spite of losing a normal life.

Starstruck
1 XP when...you use your Psych Specialty to show off your acting skills.
3 XP when...your celebrity life interferes with your superhero career.
10 XP when...you must choose between your team and your celebrity life at a critical moment.

A Question of Leadership
1 XP when...you give orders when you're not team leader, or take orders when you are.
3 XP when...you question the current leader's methods, or someone questions yours.
10 XP when...you step up as team leader at the risk of taking emotional stress, or when you step down from leadership to recover emotional trauma.

These are the milestones I made for my first original hero, Derby.

Milestone: New Hero on the Block
1 xp when you do something brash or unwise despite an experienced hero’s warning.
3 xp when you ask another hero for help
10 xp when you join a superteam or turn down an invitation to a superteam and go it alone

Milestone: Super Student
1 xp when your education helps you solve a problem in costume.
3 xp when being a hero interferes with your studies.
10 xp when you finish a degree or drop out from school.

When I made Thor from the movie, here's what I came up with:

Milestone: Banished
1 xp The first time you protect an innocent in a scene.
3 xp When you find a non-violent solution to a conflict.
10 xp When you recover MJOLNIR with a noble, selfless act.

Here's a link to my blog postwith a bunch of Milestones designed to link a character to the Marvel Universe, with some fun X-Men related Milestones in the comments.

[Mega-Moose1968]

I created an old character of mine in MHR, "Mega-Moose". He's basically the avatar of the moose spirit totem whose human soul merged with his totem spirit animal during a 'supernatural accident.' The one Miletone I created for him was MYSTIC DEFENDER...

MYSTIC DEFENDER
1XP: when you help someone with understanding a mystic threat
3XP: when you take a major step with an ally or a team against a mystic threat
10XP: when you eliminate a mystic threat with the help of an ally or team

When I was trying to explain character creation to a group of extremely reluctant players, I had to make up a couple of milestones for the example character I was using.

One of them was:

Family Secrets
1xp - when you first lie to your father about something important
3xp - when your duties and responsibility as a hero force you to miss an important family event
10xp - when you find out who your father really is or you decide to tell your father that you are MegaVolt

I posted some event milestones to the "I Ran the Not-Breakout Event!" thread last night. Meanwhile, here are personal milestones for Magnitude, aka Palmer Van Dyne from our new All-Star Marvels campaign, and Already, a speedster I converted from our MURPG campaign of last decade.

Magnitude Milestones

Man in a White Hat
1xp . . . when you pull your punch
3xp . . . when you give an opponent action-order precedence so they can surrender
10xp . . . when you take extreme steps to minimize harm to an opponent OR withhold mercy

Silver Spoon
1xp . . . when you first use a Gear power
3xp . . . when you defeat a threat using your Business specialty
10xp . . . when you sacrifice your inheritance in a heroic cause or sacrifice your heroic reputation to preserve your inheritance


Already Milestones

All Mothers Are Full-Time Mothers
1xp . . . when you use your Psych specialty
3xp . . . when a family responsibility takes you away from the team
10xp . . . when you abandon your team for your family or vice verse at a critical moment

Getting Things Done
1xp . . . when you first do at least two things at once in a scene
3xp . . . when you leave a scene for an unrelated purpose and come back to it before it concludes
10xp . . . when you stress out the last foe in an action scene or are the last on your team to be stressed out in an action scene

The Already milestones scavenged various FF milestones in the basic-game datafiles for parts. NB: There are no Already milestone awards for her family being endangered. That's a great big Don't Go There signal to the GM. If at some point I wanted an Event to center around threats to Already's husband or toddler I'd write a new milestone around that.
