Dr Divago Posted October 2, 2003 Report Share Posted October 2, 2003 [This thread continue from http://www.herogames.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=8178&perpage=15&pagenumber=2 please read original thread for more] Well, i've decided to follow in a next thread Reassuming :I'm building a balanced "ending encounter" for an adventure to be played in a con (2-3 hours limitation) for players around 200 point total cost; is my first time GMastering Hero, and i'm searching to do a balanced encounter (please note that is the final encounter; after this is the final revelation...) First chracther is RedCap (someone can have readed about her) Second chracther i'm thinked is Twinergy, a girl who can duplicate in two different twin (well, both are absolutely identical one with each other, bot little different from the whole girl). The problem is: Duplication Power description states that charachter A can duplicate in charachter B, but A is original and B is the "copy". Therefore, A pay for the power, B not. So if is Wendy-Elysabeth is build in a 250 point basis, Wendy pay 50 points for the duplication, and Wendy has 200 points free and Elysabeth 250... she are NOT equal... Can i pay 250 points to make Elysabeth a 200 point characther (with Zero-phase recombination, +10 points to duplication cost)? this will make them absolutely identical; and i can assume that are not an "original" charachter and a "copy" but two original clones Other power i'm thinking abouyt is Desolidifcation; better if with limitation "can be hit by fire/intense heath sources", and a fly (2 or 3 hex will be sufficient to be safe when desolidified; "only when desolidifed" (linked to Desolidifcation ) is a good chose) An idea cna be buy desolidifcation with linked disadvantage "only when duplicated" (to represent that she duplicate, than her "vital energy" are rarefacted, and she can pass throrough object... ) Other idea about a power for her? I'm thinking about a multipower kiss (like succubus kiss she can drain some stun or end or vital energy, or simply shock, or paralyse (entangle?) enemy...) Or a "copy power" or better a "drain power" (sort of Transfer or Drain linked to a Cosmic Pool) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrong !! re-read the Duplication power in FREd : "each duplicate has to pay for the power" so Elisabeth spends 50 points for the power and so do Wendy !!

Guest zarglif69 Posted October 2, 2003 Report Share Posted October 2, 2003 FREd is the 5th edition of the HERO system rules, an acronym for "fifth rules edition." It was reverse engineered from Steve Long's comment, "you can call it Fred for all I care". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was reverse engineered from Steve Long's comment, "you can call it Fred for all I care". Well, i've 5th edition of Hero, and i'll reading the chapter twenty times today but... it say: «The cost for Duplication, wich only the base character pays, is 1 Character Points for 5 Characters Points the original character is built with (including points from disadvantages and the points spent on Duplication)» Well, this is a little ambiguous... yes, it can be read in both manner... You're right; i've readed the text in wrong manner (i've posed attention at the phrase in red and notat that in lime...) Okay. Then, for other features of this twin-girl? do you like it?
