bushido11 Posted April 28, 2003 Report Share Posted April 28, 2003 I was wondering, you know how in shows like Vultron and Power Rangers they each have robots that can combine into one? What would be the best way represent these mechas in HERO? I'm thinking of giving having the characters pay for the mecha's stats and giving it OIHID and OIF. Also, if I wanted these mechas to combine into a super mecha, how would I do that? I was thinking of each of the pilot's contributing a portion of the super mecha's CP with some limitations such as Must Have Mechas Combine or something like that. Any ideas from the HERO gurus out there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrosshairCollie Posted April 28, 2003 Report Share Posted April 28, 2003 I'd use the Vehicle rules, myself. Create the 'Megazord' form as a vehicle bought with communal points, then give the Megazord Duplication (4 duplicates) and one Multiform (itself) to create five Zords. Complicated, but seems pretty true to the genre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killer Shrike Posted April 28, 2003 Report Share Posted April 28, 2003 Buy the Ultimate Vehicle; it has about 2 pages of rules options covering this topic and an example character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NuSoardGraphite Posted April 28, 2003 Report Share Posted April 28, 2003 Try a variation on Multiform. Basically, each seperate form splits the cost of the "combined form". Make the multiform power (which represents the ability to "combine") based on skill roll (compat piloting) and possibly some extra time (to represent a long combining animation) and you are good to go. Oh, btw, the Combined form should be considered a vehicle of the seperate forms. Thus, after figuring out the full cost of the Combined Form, divide its total cost by 5 (as per the vehicles rules) then split that cost between the seperate forms. There ya have it. If the the cost doesn't split evenly, the leftover points go to whoever forms The Head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JmOz Posted April 28, 2003 Report Share Posted April 28, 2003 Three terms that must be defind first (Will use Voltron to illustrate: Lead Vehicle, this is one of the smaller vehicles that will form the main Vehicle, normaly it will form the head or torso, or control bridge, furthermore it is usualy driven by the Leader of the squad (Black Lion) Sub Vehicles, driven by the varius members of the team, combine to form Main Vehicle (Red, Blue, Green, and Yellow Lions) Main Vehicle, when all forms combind it creates this vehicle Lead Vehicle takesthe following two powers: Multiform:Main Vehicle, all duplications must be present to change (-0) & Duplication: sub vehicles, always on (-0) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
