Quick question regarging Everyman Skills

[dropblack]

For Everyman Skills, is it best to provide them as a Prefab or part of a Package deal? We're getting ready to start our first Hero System game (set in Bronze Age) and I want to make character generation as easy as possible. thanks.

It depends on whether or not you want them to be automatically assigned to the character.

A Package Deal (.hpk) will put the Skills (etc.) onto the character as purchases. A prefab (.hdp) will make them available in the prefab tabs, but not assigned to the character.

Note that a package deal can include prefabs that get loaded along with the assigned skills and abilities....

That's helpful, thanks for replying. The players are going to be taking on the roles of soldiers in Alexander the Great's army. It sounds like the best way to do this is create the list of Everyman Skills as a Prefab for 0 points--as a part of a "Macedonian Soldier" package deal. What do you think?
