greypaladin_01 Posted January 1, 2021 Report Share Posted January 1, 2021 Happy New Year everyone! I have started to slowly gather up 6th edition books and have started to look through them. I have noticed there were a lot more changes from 5th to 6th than I original thought. But I found something on Pantera's (Eurostar) character sheet in Villains 2 that I cannot make sense of and was hoping someone might help me figure out what I am missing, or if this was a typo. I am including some stats for sake of clarification, I hope this is not a violation of terms or copyright to do so. Pantera has STR 30 and HKA 2d6 claws at 0 END. But the book says with STR the claws are 6d6 HKA. Now, the Questions.... 1 - My understanding is that you can only add +1d6 to a HKA for every 15 STR you us in Superheroic. This means she should only have a 4d6 HKA with STR. 2 - Buying 0 END for the HKA does not get rid of the END used for STR, so it will still take 2 END for her to claw someone (unless not using her STR at all and just using the 2d6 base HKA 3 - Because the HKA has an advantage (0 END) does that mean that the STR does not add at the +1d6 KA per 15 STR anymore and has to use the more complicated charts to figure out how many DCs get added instead? I am worried right now that my 3rd - 5th HERO rules in my head are getting in the way and I am missing something here and any clarifications would be much appreciated. (( I only just recently found that HKA are no longer limited to only doubling with STR and that was a major surprise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steriaca Posted January 1, 2021 Report Share Posted January 1, 2021 I believe that is a typo, and it is only as strong as 4d6 max, barring a Pushing of her strength, haymaker with the claws, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Liaden Posted January 1, 2021 Report Share Posted January 1, 2021 I agree, it has to be a mistake in the text. By 6E rules it adds up to 4D6, and that's how it's written on Pantera's 5E debut character sheet in Champions Universe: News Of The World, with the same Strength and HKA at 0 END.

greypaladin_01 Posted January 1, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2021 That is what I thought as well. Especially as I looked through more of Villains 2 and found ALOT of editing mistakes and typos. I fear the proof reading on it was not as good as it could have been. But enough changes have happened that I wanted to check with the rest of you to make sure I wasn't missing something out of 6E. Thanks!

HeroGM Posted January 1, 2021 Report Share Posted January 1, 2021 If you have it toss it into hero designer and see. I agree it should be 4d6 or even less because of the advantage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Liaden Posted January 1, 2021 Report Share Posted January 1, 2021 Reduced Endurance is specifically excluded from the list of Advantages that affect Damage Class, so has no bearing on the STR employed to increase damage. See 6E2 p. 97, and generally the chapter on, "Determining Damage." Khas 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
