Pg number for cost of PER roll bonus?

[arcady]

I know it is 3 points per +1 to PER rolls, but where in the book is this?

[Thia Halmades]

It appears to be listed in the Enhanced Senses category - on p162. I'd have to keep looking and I'm too hot and tired to bother, but that's where to check.

[Shike019]

Under Enhanced Senses in the POwers section 5ER pg 160

[Hyper-Man]

5er pg 163 under Enhanced Perception

10 pt Overall Skill Levels could also be used for this as well.

Could, but it borders on overkill (i.e., most people wouldn't drop the 10 points with that benefit in mind - much easier to drop the 3 pts and just get the +1). Valid point though - you can do it.

Thanks. I knew it was 'in the book somewhere', but I wanted to figure out what to do for building a bonus to just smell, taste, and touch, so wanted to see the details.

Now if I read this right, it leads to some oddball results.

3 for all senses.
But for smell/taste is 2, and touch another 2 - so it ends up costing more, at 4 per +1. :)

+3 for All Senses
+2 for 1 Sense Group
+1 for 1 Sense

Seems like a good pricing structure to me.

If you're buying for multiple Sense Groups is becomes cheaper to buy all Senses. But Character Concept may call for it. All depends.

+2 all senses 6 points
smell and touch groups only (-1/4)

Total cost = 5 points

Madness, RECEDE!

I used this:

Human-Anthros got:
5pts - Enhanced Sense: Tracking Smell
8pts - +2 PER for all senses, +1 more for touch (+3)
Bioroids got:
7pts - Enhanced Senses: +1 PER for all senses, +2 Touch (+3 total)

Somewhat giving up on the idea of being too detailed, but enhanced touch is a particular trait both of the altered-human types are known for in the setting.

Original version, in tri-stat terminology, was this:

Human-Anthro:
Heightened Senses: Tracking Smell, Hearing, and Touch
Bioroid:
Heightened Senses: Touch and either Hearing or Sight

I may start a thread somewhere soon when I get more into the conversion of my setting to Hero, to second check my ideas with people.
