Almafeta Posted September 5, 2004 Report Share Posted September 5, 2004 I've been looking for this website on Google, but with no luck since I can't remember the name. Hopefully someone else knows of it... It was a random-roll character generation system for HERO, with most charts being 3d6. You'd roll for a 'class', which would grant so many points of powers; then, you would roll for two 'focuses', which would grant a lesser amount of points; then, you would roll for 2-4 'skill groups'. The system also had random-roll modifiers for certain powers (the 'normal' attack powers, plus some mental powers). Does anyone know off-hand where this site, or something like it, is?

Lord Liaden Posted September 5, 2004 Report Share Posted September 5, 2004 Re: Looking for random-roll HERO Of course, nyakki's Random Character Generator is probably the most sophisticated one around for HERO characters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Almafeta Posted September 5, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2004 Re: Looking for random-roll HERO None of the above, unfortunately. I remember it being explicitly Champions-centric. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palehorse Posted September 5, 2004 Report Share Posted September 5, 2004 Re: Looking for random-roll HERO The only thing Champions-centric like that that I've seen is in the Champions book itself, not online... I wonder if it's something someone copied from the book and was 'ceased and desisted', hence the disappearance... ::shrugs:: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Goodwin Posted September 5, 2004 Report Share Posted September 5, 2004 Re: Looking for random-roll HERO The only such thing that ever existed officially first appeared in the Champions III supplement, and now appears in Champions.

Almafeta Posted October 11, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2004 Re: Looking for random-roll HERO Well, I 'found' the page. It was described in Power Point, a column in the 'zine Haymaker!. The author had his article up for a while, at http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Cavern/1905/pwrpnt.html ; but it isn't there anymore. Ah well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Hiemforth Posted October 11, 2004 Report Share Posted October 11, 2004 Re: Looking for random-roll HERO The author of the Power Point articles in Haymaker is Dave Mattingly, who's now the Digital Hero editor. He frequents the boards here as "mattingly"; you might try sending him a private message and see if he still has it somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arcady Posted October 12, 2004 Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 Re: Looking for random-roll HERO Of course' date=' nyakki's Random Character Generator is probably the most sophisticated one around for HERO characters. WoW I'd love to see the code for that thing. There's a Champions one here: http://www.trimira.com/hero_stuff/champions_random.html Unfortunately it doesn't have the background generator part of the Fantasy Hero one (which looks like it is based on Heroes of Legend - they put out a Heroes of the Modern day (and supers and science fitction) as well. I've got both books and I recognize the table entries). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
