Eldritch Forge Posted October 14, 2023 Report Share Posted October 14, 2023 Hello Hero System Community. Starting a new High Fantasy/Steampunk campaing tomorrow. Out of the blue, while transfering character from Hero Designer to Roll20, the Ranged Martial Maneuver: Distance Shot appeared in my Roll20 character sheet. Maneuver Phase Pts OCV DCV Rng Damage/Effect Distance Shot 1+1 5 +0 -2 +6 Strike; +1 Segment We do not understand (GM and me) the Phase 1+1 for this Ranged Martial Maneuvers (MA p. 6). This maneuver take 1 phase + 1 phase? 1 phase +1 segment? Its no big deal, I just never saw this duration description Phase 1+1. Is it like an haymaker? Many thanks to anyone who can show me the light on this. EF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke Bushido Posted October 14, 2023 Report Share Posted October 14, 2023 (edited) Well, there are three components od your quearion with which I am unfamiliar (namely HERO Designer, HERO System Martial Arts, and any form of online tabletop), but I am willing to take a wild guess. Based on the name "distance shot," I would guess that either it requires a phase aiming prior to firing, or that it fires in one phase and hits in the next. Alas, anyone- literally _anyone_ else on this board is more qualified to answer this, but having seen that two people viewed it already without comment, I thought I might take a moment to prove to them that they know morw about it than I do.

rravenwood Posted October 14, 2023 Report Share Posted October 14, 2023 Your guess that it's like a Haymaker is correct: maneuvers listed as 1+1 "require a Full Phase plus one Segment and land at the end of the Segment after they’re begun." (HSMA p.6). Ninja-Bear and Duke Bushido 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninja-Bear Posted October 18, 2023 Report Share Posted October 18, 2023 I’m not too familiar with the phase 1+1 but as @rravenwoodsaid being like Haymaker. I believe is correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldritch Forge Posted December 24, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2023 Thanks all for the replies. Also agree, we will use it as a Haymakers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher R Taylor Posted December 25, 2023 Report Share Posted December 25, 2023 You know that thing Murtaugh does in Lethal Weapon where he loosens up his neck before taking a really careful long distance shot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
