arcady Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 I know it is 3 points per +1 to PER rolls, but where in the book is this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thia Halmades Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 Re: Pg number for cost of PER roll bonus? It appears to be listed in the Enhanced Senses category - on p162. I'd have to keep looking and I'm too hot and tired to bother, but that's where to check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hyper-Man Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 Re: Pg number for cost of PER roll bonus? 5er pg 163 under Enhanced Perception 10 pt Overall Skill Levels could also be used for this as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could, but it borders on overkill (i.e., most people wouldn't drop the 10 points with that benefit in mind - much easier to drop the 3 pts and just get the +1). Valid point though - you can do it.

I must have scanned that page so many times and not seen that... Thanks. I knew it was 'in the book somewhere', but I wanted to figure out what to do for building a bonus to just smell, taste, and touch, so wanted to see the details. Now if I read this right, it leads to some oddball results. 3 for all senses. But for smell/taste is 2, and touch another 2 - so it ends up costing more, at 4 per +1.

If you're buying for multiple Sense Groups is becomes cheaper to buy all Senses. But Character Concept may call for it. All depends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arcady Posted December 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 Re: Pg number for cost of PER roll bonus? I used this: Human-Anthros got: 5pts - Enhanced Sense: Tracking Smell 8pts - +2 PER for all senses, +1 more for touch (+3) Bioroids got: 7pts - Enhanced Senses: +1 PER for all senses, +2 Touch (+3 total) Somewhat giving up on the idea of being too detailed, but enhanced touch is a particular trait both of the altered-human types are known for in the setting. Original version, in tri-stat terminology, was this: Human-Anthro: Heightened Senses: Tracking Smell, Hearing, and Touch Bioroid: Heightened Senses: Touch and either Hearing or Sight I may start a thread somewhere soon when I get more into the conversion of my setting to Hero, to second check my ideas with people.
