dofg_mu Posted May 15, 2020 Report Share Posted May 15, 2020 I was reading the rules on Healing and Adjustment Powers, and noticed something odd. Under the general rules about Adjustment Powers, it says Defense Powers: To balance the usefulness of defenses in the HERO System, the effect of any Adjustment Power that increases or decreases any of the following is halved: any Defense Power; the Characteristics CON, DCV, DMCV, PD, ED, REC, END, BODY, and STUN Healing is listed as an Adjustment Power, so would Healing have half effect on BODY? That doesn't sound right, and it contradicts multiple examples in the description of Healing. Suppose a character has 2d6 of Healing that is bought as applying simultaneously to STR, BODY, END, and STUN. If I roll 8 on the dice, does it then heal 8 points of STR, but only 4 points worth of BODY (= 2 BODY), 4 points worth of END (= 8 END), and 4 points worth of STUN (=4 STUN)?

Chris Goodwin Posted May 15, 2020 Report Share Posted May 15, 2020 The examples have been errata'ed. The effects on BODY and STUN are indeed halved. If you're the GM you can ignore that. Steve 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dofg_mu Posted May 18, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2020 I had looked through a list of errata that I had and found no mention of healing / defense interactions. I must not have the most recent ones. Could anyone direct me to the latest errata for version 6? Also, does this affect the Simplified Healing option? I.e., if I roll the dice and come up with 12 "STUN" and 4 "BODY" on the dice, does it heal 12 STUN and 4 BODY, or 6 and 2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Goodwin Posted May 18, 2020 Report Share Posted May 18, 2020 Oh -- yes, it does affect Simplified Healing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
