fredrik_nilsson Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 Can someone please help me out with the firearms construction rules in the Hero system? I thought I understod them well enough, but appearently I don't. Take for example the Colt M1911A Semiautomatic Handgun (p.195 in the revised rules set): RKA 2d6-1 (25 active points) +1 STUN mod (+1/4) According to my (and Hero Designer's) calculations that would give 31 active points, but according to the book it would be 34 active points. If this kind of error wouldn't have showed up in any more firearms writeups I would have thought that I was right and the book wrong. The problem is that I'm almost always wrong compared to the books (5th rev., DC and the equipment guide) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GamePhil Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 Re: Building Firearms My best guess is that the write-up is using the optional Dark Champions rules for 1d6-1 Damage Killing Attacks, which cost 12 points instead of 10. That brings the cost to exactly 34 points. That could have crept back into 5ER in a number of ways, so I hesitate to speculate further.
