Fractional SPD

[schir1964]

Steve, you can move this to the Rules Discussion once you've read it.

I understand what VGryphon is talking about.
I think Hero Designer does not allow you purchase Fractional Poiints of SPD. Due to the odd vagaries about how SPD is calculated with DEX, I'm sure that both the Hero 5th Edition Template for Metacreator and Hero Designer were coded to allow you to buy a Single Point of SPD for 10 Points. The fractional points are hidden since they have no direct combat effect and are only used to calculate the actual cost of SPD.

After reading his post I checked the Hero 5th Edition Template and realized that creating that specific character with the Ring wouldn't be possible with the current design.

Just A Clarification

This seems to be an HD question, so I'm moving it there -- though I imagine there's already at least one thread on the subject. ;)

Start a new character.

Purchase +16 DEX, OIF as a Power.

Go to the Characteristics tab.

Purchase +2 SPD (as a Characteristic).

Guess what the cost is? 14 points.

Wow. Difficult.

Dan,

Feel free to delete this thread. It was never intended to be moved here.

The problem he was describing may be non-issue, but Steve Long has said that it is legal to buy fractional points of SPD. I know how this could create a lot of headache for both you and I as far as coding. I'll have to do some serious thinking about this for Hero 5th Edition Template.

Thanks for you tolerance. (8^D)

FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT'S HOLY!!!!

YOU FREAKING CAN!!!!

Purchase any non-0-ending DEX. Purchase the first level of SPD Characteristic.

Guess what? You JUST PURCHASED A "FRACTIONAL LEVEL" OF SPEED.
