What are your HERO stats like?

[DJ Blackrock]

Not sure if a thread like this has been done before, as my search-fu is weak, and this may not even be the right forum for it, so, mods, feel free to move it if you like.

 

I was thinking the other day what my own, personal, real life stats would be, so I decided to write myself up in HERO system. Turns out I'm worth 123 points, so, theoretically, I could handle an average VIPER agent on my own.

Re: What are your HERO stats like?

 

Yeah, these pop up every once in a while. They can be fun, but expect some long rambling arguments about what folk use as their benchmarks.

Perhaps this time I'll get off my duff and finally put my awesomeness into character form

I could tack on some AKs & KSs but mostly of inconsequential stuff.

 

DEX and EGO are hard to quantify. STR & INT are quantifiable. CON is a little more iffy - but I don't get sick much and I am around ill people all day long. I work out every day and then work 13 hours and still have enough energy to play with my kids when I get home. Maybe a 13? PRE is due to my monstrous size. I'm 6'7" and 250 pounds with minimal body fat (12%), few things intimidate me.

 

If the rules would let me I would buy a Leg Sweep... a Martial Strike is iffy but I should have a Leg Sweep.

 

Climbing 8-, I used to repel and climb when I was a firefighter but it has been years.

 

Streetwise 8-, I grew up on the wrong side of the tracks and have an idea on how to get things.

 

Acting... I am a nurse. Of course, most folks take a penalty to PER when they are in the ER so maybe it is an 8-.

 

I built me for a game once and never saw the light of day (I think). This version does not have my Cosmic VPP

Re: What are your HERO stats like?

 

years ago, there was an rpg called Timelords from BTRC, that had a set of tables for defining yourself in game terms, and it had a set of conversions for use with Hero that seemed to work pretty well.

 

one thing we've always done skillswise when tinkering was

 

having a job in a field for at least 1 year 11-, +1 per 5 years

BS or BA gives an 12-

MS or MA gives a 13-

PHD gives a 14-

Yeah, I'm always amazed at how few of us gamers have any stats below the "normal human average" of 8. Not to mention the amazing level of our skills when 11- is enough to work in the field and 12- is enough to manage others.

 

Villains and Vigilantes started out with the theory that you played yourself with superpowers, and you had to assign your own stats, in discussion with the GM (and possibly other players). That must have been loads of fun - especially as, unless I misrecall, they provided no benchmarks other than a 3 - 18 range.

I know I have some stats higher than average (STR, maybe BOD), but yep, it's hard to put RL into numbers. Personaly I think I'm built with very low inefficiency.

[Edsel]

Re: What are your HERO stats like?

 

I have always found these sorts of exercises to have mixed results. People tend to either be their own most serious critic or their own biggest booster. Most people either under or over rate themselves or do a little of each. Personal benchmarks are also a problem. For instance as I understand it a base Champions character starts off with a 10 in all primary attributes but the average person is supposed to range between 8 and 10 with below 10 being more normal. A Hero character starts off at all 10s since they are supposed to be player characters and at the top end of average. So everyones benchmarks are going to vary by a couple of points.

 

The last time I was with a group that tried to design themselves (15+ years ago) it did not go well. The group determined that each person would design themselves and then the group as a whole would critique the result and make any adjustments that the group felt were warranted. Several people's feeling were hurt. As a result I am very leery of this sort of exercise. I bet it would work much better today if my current group did it. We are all more mature and have had years to develop thicker skins.

 

I might try to get around to trying to do a self-construction but as always it seems I am pressed for time whenever I visit the forums.

 

EDIT: Having known and gamed with Eosin for many years I think I can say that he really is that impressive. I am a little confused about how he knows we refer to him as "the Big Goofy Bastard" though.

I do believe DWB is a fineable/jailable offense so for the most part I think that would have to be listed as a Disadvantage. However, this may offset the vehicle cost. This may generate an extra 5 points or so if you are located in the rural south.

I was a small, scrawny, incredibly uncoordinated teenager, and it was amazing how good my stats turned out to be in V&V. Really quite amazing.

 

People in general tend to exaggerate their stats when they do these things, particularly INT, as, to be fair, we tend to be geeks, and we value intelligence as a group pretty highly. Which is why mine is clearly at least 25.

I think it might be an offsetting perk as well as a disad. I get pulled over at least twice a year, once twice in one night, but have not gotten a ticket in at least 15 years, even when I deserved one. Is a case of constant puzzlement to me.

Covers character sheet with mid-single digit DEX score...

 

I have a lot of manual dexterity in my hands for drawing, archery, puck shooting accuracy, and precision knife work, things that would be represented by specific skills or skill levels. But whole-body wise I am a horrible klutz... trip all the time, bump into things, have terrible balance. Thank Heaven I bought Breakfall as a child, and have managed to avoid broken bones as a result...

 

I pine for the days when my knees would let me be fast enough to run a 6 minute mile. Nowadays 3 consecutive 10-minute miles is the best I can do without a large land predator to provide motivation.

Re: What are your HERO stats like?

 

I wonder if I would get a DCV advantage for being only 5' tall, but think my weight might offset it as I am 187. I can walk under most things. I also do a lot of minor climbing.

Most shelves are too high.

Re: What are your HERO stats like?

 

So I posted what may be "real" although I'm sure there's some exaggeration in there, I did try to keep myself in check, especially after rereading the definition of Strength. So then I'm looking at these numbers thinking, well what if it was a character? Using that train of thought I went back though to bring things up to a Randall Irons pulp hero level because, well because I wouldn't want to play myself, don't read into that.

This is my attempt at a "No Holds Barred" , i"f it ain't on the sheet then you can't do it" high point, high detail heroic campaign writeup for myself.

 

I'm going to assume that the immense amount of Experience was accumulated during those nearly 20 years I spent trying to become a Hero.
