Wizard Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 I am fairly new to the HERO System and trying to get my head around things. I was looking at the entry for the Broad Sword on 6E2 204 and it has an A/R Cost of 32/13. Then I looked at the Butterfly sword on HSMA 257 and even though it has the same characteristics as a Broad Sword its A/R Cost is 31/12. Then when I work it out I get 31/11. HKA 1d6+1 (20 Points), Reach +1m (1 Point), Reduced Endurance (0 END; +½) (31 Active Points) OAF (-1), STR Minimum (12; -½), Real Weapon (-¼) (total cost: 11 points) Is there something I am forgetting or are the entries in the tables incorrect?

ghost-angel Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 Re: A/R Cost of a Broad Sword You don't include the Reach in the build for the damage, it's already prebuilt as a form of stretching, thus adding +1 point to both AP and RP for a cost of 31 (sword 30 + reach 1)/12 (sword 11 + reach 1).

Ice9 Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 Re: A/R Cost of a Broad Sword OTOH, Reach has Zero END already built in; it's not part of the sword base points. That doesn't actually change the cost, but it would be more accurately written as: HKA 1d6+1 (20 Points), Reduced Endurance (0 END; +½) (30 Active Points); OAF (-1), STR Minimum (12; -½), Real Weapon (-¼) (total cost: 11 points) PLUS Reach +1m (1 Point) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizard Posted April 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 Re: A/R Cost of a Broad Sword Ahhh, of couse, my silly mistake . So it should be 31/12. So that makes the HSMA entry correct and the one in 6E2 incorrect. I will report it as errata. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
