After digging for about 10 minutes through the various boxes and shelves in my house, found my V&V stuff. Wow, this brings back memories. All of this stuff is at least 17-20 years old!
Anyway, the book I was looking for was "Most Wanted Volume 3" - An enemies book with 30 supervillain characters in it. And in the back are conversion tables for both Champions and Superworld.
For Champions, all the basic stats are covered, as well as a guide for converting powers. It isn't an exact science, and these wind up being more like suggestions, and since this would be circa Champions 3rd Edition, some of the powers are a little out of date. But Champions stats haven't changed since then, so that part is still useful.
Here are the Stat formulas, quoted verbatim:
STR: Use the Champions Strenght Chart to find the Champions STR that represents the the V&V character's carrying capacity. Use the V&V lift numbers straight, do not convert from pounds to kilograms
DEX: 15 + (3 x V&V Accuracy)
CON: 1/3 of V&V Power Score
BODY: 6 + V&V Basic Hits
INT: V&V Intelligence
EGO: V&V Charisma
COM: Player's choice
SPD: (V&V Agility + Initiative Bonus [if any] )/10 + 3
Okay, I've got V&V out in front of me so running Doug's stats through this filter gives us:
STR...20
DEX...36
CON...35
BODY...10
INT...30
EGO...17
COM...17 (Based on his Fuzion score)
PRE...28 (Ditto)
(Secondary Characteristics figured straight with no points added)
PD...4
ED...7
SPD...7
END...70
STUN...38
Did I not say that V&V translated characters tended toward high DEX and SPD in Hero? ^_^
Anyway...
Translated to Fuzion Stats this gives us:
INT......10
WILL....6
PRE......9
TECH....11
REF......12
DEX......12
CON......11
STR......4
BODY....8
MOVE.....9
Well, that gave us some weird results, didn't it? On the one hand, it verified the INT score. And since I was leaning toward a REF/DEX of 12, I think this convinces me to use that value. But the WILL score is too low, the TECH score is really out there, and the CON and BODY scores have switched values!
How about we leave the WILL, TECH, CON and BODY scores where you had them originally and use the new INT and SPD values? We can use the STR 4 plus extra STR mechanic that I indicated in the post above. SPD can stay at 6 with no OP points needed to increase it, or if you really feel like it, use the current OP expenditure to go ahead and increase it to 7.
That would make Dougs stats look like this -
----------
LOONEY TOONS / DOUGLAS SANGNOIR
INT......10
WILL....9.......RES 27
PRE......9
TECH....6
REF......12.....SPD 6
DEX......12
CON......8......SD 18.......ED 18.......END 80
STR......4(7)...REC 19
BODY....11.....STUN 45...HITS 65
MOVE.....9.....RUN 18.....SPRINT 27
...................SWIM 9.....LEAP 9
-----------
What do you think?
BTW, just as an aside - looking through these old V&V books, I have to say, they came up with some of most bizarre, lame, and corny supervillains of all time! With the occasional real gem in there.
Man, some of these guys look like they belong in the movie "Mystery Men"... Yikes. ^_^;;
