Dan,
My first suggestion is that you might want to start an official:
"Version 2 Suggestions" thread so that there aren't a bunch of individual "suggestion" threads all over the place.:)
I don't know if you are looking for this kind of input, but people are probably going to do it anyway now that V2 has been announced.
Secondly, I posted something a while back about being able to display the damage done by a Martial Arts Maneuver.
To recap: I would like to be able to have the damage for a Standard Martial Arts Maneuver based on the Normal STR Characteristic show up on my character sheet as part of the information about the Maneuver.
Example:
Crush (W): 1/2 Phase, +0 OCV, +0 DCV, STR +4d6 Crush, Must Follow Grab
would look like this (assuming a STR of 20)
Crush (W): 1/2 Phase, +0 OCV, +0 DCV, 8d6 Crush, Must Follow Grab
I know that STR in the Superhero genre can be a very complicated issue, since it can be bought as a power, as part of a multipower, etc. etc.
Even if you wanted to try to have Hero Designer do the math, you would probably need to include a drop down list of exactly what "STR values" should be applied to the Maneuver in question, to be able to calculate the damage, since a "Power Armor" Character might have extra STR from his armor that could not be used with his Martial Arts!
I am not asking for anything that complicated. I just think it would be useful, especially for the many people who play Fantasy Hero, Pulp Hero, Ninja Hero, etc., to be able to see the damage a maneuver does, based on the plain old STR value on the character sheet.
Is there any chance of getting this capability, or something that would allow for it, into V2?
