dekrass Posted June 8, 2019 Report Share Posted June 8, 2019 From what I've read Fantasy Hero Complete is pared down rules from the core 6E1 and 6E2 with some fantasy stuff added. I believe it's also been said that there were some rules actually changed from the core. What are the differences between the two? If you have 6E1, 6E2, and the older 6E Fantasy Hero supplement do you have everything that's in FHC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesguy Posted June 9, 2019 Report Share Posted June 9, 2019 FHC is intended for people who do not have 6E1, 6E2 and older 6E Fantasy Hero books. The rules are the same but are focused on running a Fantasy Hero game. 6E1 & 6E2 is a toolbox that lets you build any kind of RPG genre game you would like. FHC is a toolbox and a specific build kit for building any kind of Fantasy RPG game you want. WaywardSon and Amorkca 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. And then some. FHC pares down the rules a lot, tailors them slightly towards the Fantasy Genre, and adds info for creating a Fantasy Hero Campaign.

Christopher R Taylor Posted June 17, 2019 Report Share Posted June 17, 2019 Fantasy Hero Complete is smaller and has a lot fewer examples and campaign info. Its good enough for play, but if you really want to have all the tools, FH is the way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zslane Posted June 17, 2019 Report Share Posted June 17, 2019 I think he (also) wants a run-down on what rules/mechanics were changed between 6e1/6e2 and the Complete books. Isn't there a short document in the downloads section that enumerates the (minor) differences? WaywardSon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher R Taylor Posted June 17, 2019 Report Share Posted June 17, 2019 The only thing I can think of is that they wisely jettisoned the "types of minds" bit for mental powers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ninja-Bear Posted June 21, 2019 Report Share Posted June 21, 2019 One difference is that FHC has Ranged Martial Art maneuvers and H6e doesn’t iirc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninja-Bear Posted June 21, 2019 Report Share Posted June 21, 2019 Oooh and Dismissible as an advantage I believe is in FHC but not in the Core Rules, just the APG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spence Posted June 23, 2019 Report Share Posted June 23, 2019 The rules portion of Fantasy Hero Complete and Champions Complete are essentially the same. The document "Champions Complete Converting Characters" in the HERO System 6th Edition Documents downloads section gives a short rundown of the major changes. https://www.herogames.com/files/file/153-champions-complete-converting-characters/ zslane 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zslane Posted June 24, 2019 Report Share Posted June 24, 2019 Yes, that was the document I was thinking of. Thanks Spence! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have yet to see any book for any FRPG that does such an excellent job of laying out all of the types of fantasy campaigns. Not that I won't probably buy FHC as well.

I don't want to deviate too much from the original poster's question but i am really curious. If you don't use Class of Minds, do you let Telepaths use their powers on anything that would normally require a specific class of minds--robots for example?

Ninja-Bear Posted July 23, 2019 Report Share Posted July 23, 2019 Zephrozene that would be a yes. Basically everyone is affected unless you buy up mental defense or the power has a limitation on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course. As long as it has a mind of any sort to connect with, you can connect with it. Unless you buy a limitation that states otherwise. You know, like Spock using mind meld on blobs of molten rock, computers, people, etc. Ninja-Bear 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
