JmOz Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 I am trying to get a couple players into Hero games, there complaint so far is that it is to complicated, with it's own jargon. to that end I have assembled a cheat sheet to help them. What I am looking for is some fresh eyes to say this is good, this is bad, this should be here, etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost-angel Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 Re: [review] Cheat Sheet For a one page sheet that's nicely comprehensive for basic stuff. Way cool and stolen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gojira Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 Re: [review] Cheat Sheet Very good. One thing someone on RPG.net pointed out was that HERO always rolls low to determine success (To-Hit, Skill, Perception, etc.) and always rolls high to determine result (damage, Presence dice, Mind Control, etc.). That's totally consistent. The only other thing I see is that you might want to skil the OCV - 3d6 = highest DCV thing and just copy off the To-Hit table. It's one more sheet but it's easy.

Silbeg Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 Re: [review] Cheat Sheet My suggestion would be the change the combat rolls to show the following formula (which has seemed to be more intuitive): 11+OCV - 3d6 = DCV hit (oh, unless of course, your "modified OCV is 11+OCV, oops) Other than that, looks pretty good!

Chris Goodwin Posted May 19, 2007 Report Share Posted May 19, 2007 Re: [review] Cheat Sheet Are you interested in suggestions on writing, or are you looking for just organization and layout at the moment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JmOz Posted May 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2007 Re: [review] Cheat Sheet A little more context, the main guy I am making this for has some LD's, and while he is capable he tends to get frustrated easily, thus the desire to make it as easy as possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost-angel Posted May 19, 2007 Report Share Posted May 19, 2007 Re: [review] Cheat Sheet Try this to see if it isn't a little easier to read. It assumes two things have happened on the Character Sheet: the Modified OCV has been figured out already (11+OCV+Skill Levels) and written down somewhere. That PD+rPD (or ED+rED) has been combined such as: 12PD/6rPD where their normal PD is 6 and they have 6rPD, thus they have 12PD against Normal Damage and 6PD against Killing Damage. (when you read Defenses you'll see why). I removed mention of being killed as that is not a common enough occurance to really need mention on a Quick Reference, in my opinion at least. edit: update 1 to the PDF.

ghost-angel Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 Re: [review] Cheat Sheet no worries. Any changes you want on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JmOz Posted June 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 Re: [review] Cheat Sheet well now that you mention it I do think that a comment about the effects of 0 body is important enough to include Something like "When you are below 0 body you begin to loose 1 body per turn, you die when you reach negative value of your body." While true death is rare in my games, someone starts loosing body every 3-4 games on the formula for modified OCV, include modifiers in the equation so Modified OCV +bonus -negatives -3d6 = DCV hit. Skill levels and manuever bonuses are not part of the modified ocv as they change in game but those are nit picks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost-angel Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 Re: [review] Cheat Sheet nit picks or not - I made it for your game primarily, anyone else who wants to use it gets stuck with it as is. Give me a little bit I'll repost it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
