Dr. Sparks! for Jeff Moore's "High Five" RPG!

 As some of you may know, I'm a big fan of the RPG output of Mr. Jeff Moore, whose work and thoughts you can keep up with at https://comicbookheart.blogspot.com.

Jeff's most recent game is "High Five," a superhero game that, much like his "Hi-Lo Heroes" game before it, has totally captured my imagination.

In fact, I like both of those games so much that I kind of came up with a mash-up of the two, at least as far as "random character creation" goes.

I call it "High-Lo Five Heroes." I know. I'm so clever.

Anyway, the details of the mash-up are as follows:

• Take 5 playing cards from a standard deck, numbered, get this: 1 through Five.
• Shuffle the cards, place them down, and draw one at a time.
• Each numbered card is associated with a Grade for your Hero's Details:
• 1 = A
• 2 = B
• 3 = C
• 4 = D
• 5 = X
• Yes, the lower the card number, the higher the Grade.  Switch it the other way round if you want.
• Draw one card at a time, and assign the associated Grade to your Hero's Details in order:
• Attack
• Defense
• Move
• Craft
• Connection
• Based on your Hero's Level (though I would start most Random characters at Level 1), those Grades will set a Score for each of your Details.
• When it comes to generating random Flavors for your Details, this is where the Hi-Lo Heroes book really comes in!
• Attack Details:
• Roll a D6: 1-3 = Roll under Mundane Attacks, 4-6 = Roll under Fantastic Attacks
• Defense Details:
• 1-3 = Evasion Powers, 4-6 = Barrier Defense Powers
• Move Details:
• Roll under Movement Powers ( I may create a second Table for this, too)
• Craft Details:
• Roll 1-6 for Career Type, then 1-6 for Specific Career
• Connection Details:
• Roll 1-6 under Charges

Now, for any of those Details results, you are not strictly bound to the wording of the result in the Hi-Lo Heroes book.  These are just random prompts for your imagination.

Using this "system" of prompts, I created...Dr. Sparks!  Check him out!
