NeoZen104 Posted October 12, 2021 Report Share Posted October 12, 2021 In the PDF I bought for Hero System Bestiary v6, on page 64 it lists the Centaur's "Total Cost: 1336175" I am guessing this is incorrect?

Derek Hiemforth Posted October 12, 2021 Report Share Posted October 12, 2021 Actually, that's correct. The typo is that his Kick/Rear attack is supposed to be HA +334,043d6. Them Centaurs are scrappy! bluesguy, Christopher R Taylor and Steve 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not in a single Phase (the Moon is much farther away than that), but yes, he could. The average Knockback would be 668,072m, which is far enough to reach space, and you'd travel that far in a single Phase, which would be 668km per second (much higher than escape velocity, which is a bit over 11km per second). Even if you halve the distance traveled because you're opposing gravity, and halve the velocity accordingly, it still exceeds escape velocity and still reaches space. With the right trajectory, you could probably eventually drift to the Moon, but I'm not enough of a mathematician or astrophysicist to calculate what that would entail.

Christopher R Taylor Posted October 12, 2021 Report Share Posted October 12, 2021 Well, the moon is 385,000.6 km from earth, so at 334km/segment that's around 20 minutes of drift time, so your aim wouldn't have to be terrific. The moon does have gravity to pull in a pretty close shot and is 3,475 across, which is hard to miss. Steve and Derek Hiemforth 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
