CorpCommander Posted October 10, 2003 Report Share Posted October 10, 2003 I noticed in the TUV that all vehicles have DCV = CV without taking into account their size. For example, the Bradley on pg. 50 should have a DCV of 0 not 4 as listed due to its size. I don't see in any place in the description where they buy off the vehicle size impact. Have I missed something? They have this throughout the book. I noticed that Hero Designer correctly displays DCV which is how I originally came across the problem when I tried to input a vehicle from TUV into HD and it didn't match up.

BobGreenwade Posted October 10, 2003 Report Share Posted October 10, 2003 In my original manuscript I accounted for Size in the DCV entry next to DEX. Steve, for reasons unknown to me, reversed this decision. Hopefully he'll find time to chime in and clarify.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talon Posted October 10, 2003 Report Share Posted October 10, 2003 Playtesters mentioned this too (and are continuing to do so in future supplements ). IMO, anything that makes an entry easier to run out of the book is a good thing. Heck, I'm pushing for summary blocks -- otherwise, complex vehicles are very hard to decipher during game time.

Steve Long Posted October 10, 2003 Report Share Posted October 10, 2003 None of the writeups in any of the Hero books accounts for things like DCV Levels, loss of DCV due to size, or any other such thing in the "Characteristic block" summary. Nor does it account for Enhanced Perception bonuses or the like That would cause tremendous amounts of confusion on the part of too many readers. I prefer to keep the Characteristic blocks consistent with the basic information derived from the Characteristics and rely on individual players and GMs to apply the rules as appropriate to adjust things.
