…I've seen a lot of stats threads, so out of interest, how would you stat the Emperor of Mankind, either in his physical form or as a giant spirit thingy? I mean, I don't intend to ever USE these, but out of interest, what would you give him, bearing in mind an Ork Warboss almost killed him?

My first guess will be:

Psy rating : more, and even a little more

Talent: Emperor

Bad luck (everything I've made is doom) with every science sorcery I try would work.

Psh. That Warboss never came close to killing Him. The Emperor was playing to the crowd, like Metro Man.

"I love you, Emperor!"

"And I love you, Random Citizen!"

In all (joking) seriousness, though…

His stats would have to be no higher than 95. 96+ is automatic failure. (badum-tss!)

Too soon?

Negative modifiers can cause tests to fail even if the characteristic is 96+.

Also, rolling a 50 for a test against a characteristic of 100 nets you 5 degrees of success. With a characteristic of 200 that's 15 degrees.

-K

I'm with kjakan on this one - why else give a Bloodletter 99WS if the top 4 are useless? But yes, the whole Warboss thing always mystified me. I was more looking at the Unnaturals - what would his multiplier be? Remember that an (admittedly) souped up Horus defeated him when he didn't use his super-saiyan psyker power.

A warboss? Try the leader of the single largest known Ork empire. So not only huge himself but powered by the psychic feedback from the Waaaagh! of so many Orks. So, it's plausible to me that he'd be at least able to threaten primarch/Emperor level beings.

As for statting up the Emperor or even Primarchs, I'd use a different system. Like mutants and masterminds.

Obviously, meta-gamers have no sense of humour.

I've forget to add the special talent:

Talent: Unbeliveable Radiance

The character is radiating light aal, time and really bright. All people friends or foes are blind.

No one can sleep in the vicinity of the character because of the radiance effect.

I can read day or niight and make energies saving.

Still work from the inside of an armor;

I'm a big fan of killable Gods, so I'd actually give the Emperor fairly reasonable stats. Even at his height I don't think he'd have had scores of 150 in everything.

I'd go with 80ish in most physical things, Unnaturals in the x3 region (or +10-12 in BC/OW). I think his big thing would be Willpower, which would be at 99 with some really serious Unnaturals (like x5, or +15-20).

I'm not sure what I'd give him for Intelligence, because let's face it the Emperor had some *really stupid ideas*.

Of course the *present day* Emperor would have extraordinarily low stats being as he is a corpse-god on a strangely blingy life-support machine.
