    OK. It's been a bit since v3 came out so I wasn't sure if his 2year contract was with HERO or with the purchaser. This was the part I was unsure of.

    Yes, this part has already been stated twice. But since it's now been mentioned three times on the previous page, I guess I should note that I don't read Dan threads or his HD threads since v3 first came out.

    Hmm, I think there's some sort of distortion echo going on here.

    Just as a note, if what you're looking for is info on HD, not reading Dan's threads about it is a good way to not get that info.

    Can we end with the derailing of this thread?

    Cool, I guess I misunderstood.

    And just as a general tip, the best way to combat thread derails is to not reply to them. Or even to insert on topic replies.

    Do I follow your actions or your words? Or is this just a "I need to get the last word/post in" kind of thing?

    I think this thread has served its purpose. Since even a moderator can't stay on topic, can this thread be locked?

    Mostly I'm just amused by people that complain about off topic posts by making posts that are off topic. Therby doing the thing that they are complaining about. In general the easiest way to keep a thread on topic is to make on topic posts. If you don't have something on topic to say, not making off topic posts of your own is the next best way to do it.

    It has nothing to do with "getting the last word in", at least on my part. It has to do with replying to posts that I have something to say about. And I almost always have something to say about off topic posts complaining about off topic posts.

    Don't see any reason to lock it. It has drifted, but once we stop discussing the drift it'll stop. If people have things to say about the original topic, it should be left open for them to do so.

    Re: Why We're Creating The 6th Edition -- Please Read Before Posting

    As we're trying to bring this thread under control,has Steve Long explained why he's getting rid of figured characteristics? How can we counter his reasons if we don't know what they are?
    As you can tell,I'm against getting rid of figured characteristics.If the cost of all characteristics aren't bought down,we're going to have characteristic bloat,especially in the case of bricks,which also means that we'll have to alter Transform,as well.Plus,it's going to be much harder to convert characters to the 6th Edition.(In the case of Michael Surbook,who has hundreds of characters of Hero System characters on his website,this is a serious problem).
    As you can tell,I think this proposed change is unfair (especially to bricks),and unrealistic besides.The only "weak bricks" I know in fact and fiction (Goliath,anyone?) are weaker because their extra Strength is derived from their size.

    He explains them in the firsts post of the Characteristics thread.

    I'm not following where you get any of those above conclusions.


    Plus,it's going to be much harder to convert characters to the 6th Edition.(In the case of Michael Surbook,who has hundreds of characters of Hero System characters on his website,this is a serious problem).
    Point totals adjust. thats not hard.


    As you can tell,I think this proposed change is unfair (especially to bricks),and unrealistic besides.The only "weak bricks" I know in fact and fiction (Goliath,anyone?) are weaker because their extra Strength is derived from their size.

    The benefits bricks draw frome figured characteristics is part of what many see as the problem--the simple benefits of STR were leading people to sugest increasing its costs due to the figured characteristics. Soits not as much as the change woud hurt bricks, but it would now equalize them in balance to other character types.
