starblaze Posted November 17, 2004 Report Share Posted November 17, 2004 OK, let's say you have two guys that want to drink the other under the table. How do you do that under the Hero rules? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitz Posted November 17, 2004 Report Share Posted November 17, 2004 Re: Drinking contest I'd probably base it on CON rolls -- one drink per pt of CON, then you start making CON rolls (maybe at a cumulative -1) for each drink thereafter to avoid passing out.

C++ Posted November 17, 2004 Report Share Posted November 17, 2004 Re: Drinking contest I can't help but think that BODY should also play a roll with CON. Larger humans are often represented with more BODY. Larger humans usually take more alcohol to get drunk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narthon Posted November 17, 2004 Report Share Posted November 17, 2004 Re: Drinking contest Also look at things like regen and poison immunity. Both would be large factors as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The CON suppress reflects the way drinks can sneak up on ya. You are going along fine drinking and next thing you know...WHAM. You are good and liquored up. The 1 Continuing Charge is how long it would take your body to metabolise 1 drink (1 hour). The only problem left is the effects of drunkenness. Maybe either hand wave it and say "These are the effects of bein a lush" or use a small minor transform (sober to drunk). 'Course, then think of all the fun disads (Cheap Date - Vuln: x2 Effect from Alcohol). Characteristic Roll Penalties (-1 per drink) for: DEX, INT, EGO DamRedux vs PD, ED and MD, for STUN only (graduate it, 25% after 2 drinks/50% after 4 etc) Suppress Need to Excrete (Once you break the seal.....) [ok, that IS kind of silly] Course this is kind of the Hero way. You COULD just have each character make a CON roll and whoever makes it by the most wins and you jsut roleplay the rest.

Larger humans are often represented with more BODY. Larger humans usually take more alcohol to get drunk. At a rough guess... Drinking Cumulative 1/2 d6 NND (defence is a CON roll -1 per unit of alcohol or alcohol immunity) major transform to beer monster heals at 2 points per hour That should account for CON and BODY, and making out the effects of DEX/INT drain, and the various psychological limitations of drunkenness is a nightmare, so even though it is a bit twinky, transform is the way to go.
