Ragitsu Posted August 28, 2015 Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 [Leave your adherence to strict reality at the door.] There are times in fiction when a character has to disarm themselves...completely. They'll often shuck off their visible weaponry...maybe your typical rifle..., but then (either of their own initiative or through the insistence of another) they will proceed to divest themselves of all concealed weapons on their person. It is not entirely unreasonable to see them produce an arsenal in the neighborhood of two handguns, one or two backup pistols, a handful of knives (including a wickedly big Bowie), a small submachine gun, a sawed-off shotgun, one or a few grenades, a taser, brass knuckles, some pepper spray, various shuriken, and a telescopic baton. Now, in HERO (at least the sixth edition), what traits/Skills would a character need to hide all of that and not appear to be bristling with weaponry?

Christopher R Taylor Posted August 28, 2015 Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 Concealment; I always think of the scene at the beginning of Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome where he pulls out like 12 weapons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyper-Man Posted August 28, 2015 Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 Disguise might be a complimentary roll as it would also require picking the right clothes to conceal those weapons as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freakboy6117 Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 I assume you where thinking of the classic scene from Mad Max beyond Thunderdome its certainly possible to hide a suprsingly large amount of weaponry about ones person as these videos show this is the brad thor scotte alpha jacket which can hold a ridiculous amount of stuff this is a normal guy hiding a small arsenal under a short sleeve shirt and jeans (10 knives a short sword three bo shuriken 3 guns and 2 spare mags) another exxample 4 hand guns under a baggy shirt and finally this classic kid probably couldn't move easily but its a lot of fire power for a guy in a polo and jeans.

IndianaJoe3 Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 Disguise might be a complimentary roll as it would also require picking the right clothes to conceal those weapons as well. I can certainly imagine that concealing clothes could be bought as PSLs through a Focus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher R Taylor Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 I've always just given clothing a bonus to concealment based on their design. If someone buys a special outfit with extra concealment by design its worth some levels I suppose. But a trenchcoat will give you a bonus to hiding things under it, while a vest will not offer much.
