Gamma World as a supers game is a whole'nuther thing. Those origins are pretty cool, though, I especially like the Tick-inspired nigh-invulnerable. 
Chandrak: Yeah, just because a lot of novice powers are over- or under-powered doesn't mean I don't still like the idea of mine being balanced. Acc vs nACD is plenty, and it makes weapon attacks worthwhile for a WIS origin. Maybe make it 'useable as a basic attack?'

Here's my take on Lepidoptoid. I took the Mothra-like route because I thought it was funny ;P Lepidoptoid You have antennae, possibly bristle-like hair or soft fur, and a huge pair of bright, multicolored butterfly wings. You know Mothra? Yeah, its like that.
Mutant Type: Charisma; Bio; +2 to bio overcharge. Skill Bonus (Level 1): You gain a +4 to Interaction checks Shifting Patterns (Level 1): You gain resist 10 to a type you specify at the start of each encounter. Pollen Release (Level 1): When you become bloodied, all enemies in close burst 3 take ongoing poison damage equal to your level (save ends). Flight: You have limited powers of flight. You gain a flight speed equal to your level, but you cannot make attacks while flying. If you are attacked while flying, you must make a saving throw or fall. Lepidoptoid Critical (Level 2 or 6): When you score a critical hit, you push the target 3 squares and knock it prone. Wing Pollen (Lepidoptoid Novice) You flap your wings and release a spray of pollen. At-Will • Bio, Poison Standard Action Close blast 3 Target: Each creature in blast Attack: Charisma + your level vs. Fortitude Hit: 1d6 + Charisma modifier + your level poison damage, and the target is grants combat advantage (save ends). Blinding Lights (Lepidoptoid Utility) Bright multicolored lights flash from your wings, deflecting damage. Encounter • Bio Immediate Interrupt Personal Trigger: You would take damage. Effect: You gain resist 5 All until the start of your next turn. Nuclear Pollen (Lepidoptoid Expert) You begin to produce glowing, radioactive pollen that progressively weakens you opponents. It gets on your hands, your weapons, everything. . . all it needs is delivery. Encounter • Bio, Poison Minor Action Personal Effect: The damage from your next attack becomes ongoing poison damage (save ends).

Ok, so its not finished yet - I'm still working on the Class Origins - but heres whats done so far, so people can stop PMing me asking when the next set of 20 is finally done ;P As a note, I didnt include Mathemagic, I decided to put that in with class lists, though of course itll be in the full list and theres nothing stopping people from using class origins with the others  You can find the partially-done pdf with 3 sets of 20 HERELet me know if the link doesnt work for you.

Hey, you added an extra 'w' to Shadoweaver. That was part of the whole schtick with that origin...

Really? I thought I got em all so there wasnt an extra. I noticed you left one out of every power name. I'll check and correct my text so when i release the full update, itll be correct.
Edit: Oh haha, yep, in the tables, I see it. Fixed on my text.

That one works  Very nice work so far. I saw some flavor texts missing, but I take it you are aware of that. I have an idea for another Origin. I think it doesnt exist yet, I'm not sure. ____________________________ Bansidh. (Banshee) You are the doom sayer of the dead, maybe you stayed behind after the fall of man or maybe you are an ancient goddess claiming those whose time has come. Mark of Death Your time is up! You mark a target who's time has come. (minusses on attack rolls and skill checks + damage?) Ethereal flutter How do you defeat something that is not there? Basically a teleporting effect in which the Banshee fades out moves to another spot her speed and fades in. Scream of the Banshee For whom the bell toles. The Banshee's scream effects everyone in a burst area damaging them and striking them with utter terror. ______________________ Something like that, what do you think? is there one like that allready?

Nice. Updated those too  Tauric did turn out pretty much the same as Hoofed. Initially, Hoofed just represented having hooves - not neccesarily being quadrupedal. So I made Tauric, which represent any kind of Quadrupedal creature + humanoid torso. There's quite a few in D&D, like the Dracotaur, or the Hobogoblin-Gryphon whos name I forget, for instance. But I can see how Hoofed could represent quadrupeds. Edit: Cool, and no, nobody's done a Banshee one yet. Theres a Siren, but thats different. Flavor text ought to be "Let our enemies despair, for the Banshee howls their doom!" from Dawn of War ;P (j/k)
