6'0" may be about right, but 220 lb is much too heavy. I weigh 100 kg, and I am both much more robust in frame and much fatter than Michael Shanks.

Hmm, wasn't sure the best way to do the language sides, as he can communicate with nearly every race in the galaxy! Therefore I thought that the Universal Translator Talent would cover this without trying to define all the languages he knows.

Good point about the Linguistics, I will increase that.

I wasn't sure where to place him, more in the middle of seasons, I just know that it was going to be before he ascended. Good point about the Goa'uld knowledge though, will change that later.

Hmm, never been good at guessing physical charactersitics, would you say that a quarter off that would be about right?

Thanks to all for all the feedback.

**Aroooo** · Nov 24th, '04, 06:01 AM

My bad. Didn't see Univ. Trans. there. Given Jackson's language skills, as a GM I'd allow it. However, I'd probably add the limitations Spoken or Written Languages Only (-1/4) and some form of Requires Skill Roll (Linguistics) for unfamiliar languages (-1/4), even though UT already had a skill roll.

Close enough. Michael Shanks is fairly well built, I guess 75-80 kg (165-176 lb) would be about right. But I'm not good at estimating people's weight either.

Hi all,

Arooo has kindly given me some of his webspace over at StarHeroFandom.

So I hope you'll come and have a look over here

Cheers

Hi,

Minor update.

I have just put a couple of Martial Arts prefabs over at my pages on StarHeroFandom, you can find them here.

I'm definitely looking for some feedback on these please as it's the first of these that I have done.

Cheers
Shem.

Fairly new to Hero myself, but its impressive what you put together.

Would love to see your final writeup of the FN P90.

Thanks! Glad you like it and hope that you check in from time to time.

There is a writeup for the P90 in Dark Champions and I'm inclined to go with that for starters, as it is the main Sg team weapon. However I know Aroooo has some different ideas on a build for the P90, so when I get round to it I will pick his brains and see what we end up with.

**Aroooo** · Dec 8th, '04, 06:54 AM

I'm not real happy with DC's P90. This is what I did for the modern weapons thread over in the Other Genre's forum:

P90 (5.7x28mm) Tactical SMG: (Total: 100 Active Cost, 29 Real Cost) Killing Attack - Ranged 1d6+1, Limited Armor Piercing (up to 20 PD armor only, not vs. Vehicle DEF, FF, FW; +1/4), +2 Increased STUN Multiplier (+1/2), 4 clips of 50 Charges (+3/4), Autofire (20 shots; +1 1/2) (80 Active Points); OAF (-1), STR Minimum 11 (STR Min. Cannot Add/Subtract Damage; -1), Limited Range (200m effective range; -1/4), Beam (-1/4), Real Weapon (-1/4) (Real Cost: 21) plus Reduced Recoil Impulse: +2 OCV (10 Active Points); OAF (-1), Only to negate Autofire mods (-1/2), Real Weapon (-1/4) (Real Cost: 4) plus Sights (optical and/or laser): +2 OCV (10 Active Points); OAF (-1), Real Weapon (-1/4) (Real Cost: 4)

Although I am going to rework it now that DC has introduced the Piercing abililty.

Here's one idea - I'd suggest that all of SG-1 should have Combat Luck. This is because, if I ever run Stargate Hero, my writeups for Goa'uld weaponry will include Reduced Penetration, vs Combat Luck. ^_^ Explains why the series stars can get away with being shot at so much, while crunchies (especially Jaffa) get wiped out very quickly.

This isn't necessary, of course. It's the genre-simulationist in me who wants to get things matching up to on-screen as closely as possible.

Nice, I like that a lot, thanks.

I'll have to keep that in my head for when I go back to the write-ups. I'm currently working on an SG char sheet template for HD.

That's an interesting limitation. I'll have to see if this is something we could introduce this into our game.

Or, as Combat Luck is by default hardened you can have all Goa'uld weaponry be Armor Piercing. Leave standard body armor as basic resistant.

Finally completed my Teal'c write-up.

Many thanks to Arooo, for showing me his stuff on the symbiote powers that I have blatantley used and added to.

Comments as always please.

I'm not skilled with Hero

, but that looks pretty good to me. One question I have: Is his Tactics skill perhaps a bit low? Teal'c was a first prime, and I'd think he'd have a pretty good command of tactics.

Then again, the Jaffa seem about as tactically sophisticated as the Russian Army of World War One.
