Nothing, really. I had received a support ticket from someone who was having some trouble launching HD due to class versioning errors, so I made a few tweaks to the compiler settings.

No, there is not.

Looks like there was a small typo in the language familiarity entry for Cantonese under Hakka. When Mandarin was present it didn't matter (Hakka took the deduction from Mandarin), but when it was removed it didn't have any matching Language for discount. Cantonese did not have any issue, so when it was moved it would take the discount from Hakka. Similar for when Linguist was applied as the ordering of the Languages changed. I've got the typo corrected and a new update pushed...so it should be working better now.

Guys...this is your semi-regular reminder to stay within the rules of this thread. Warnings/moderation will follow.

Hmmm...Russian and Byelorussian are very distinctly entered into HD's templates as having a 4 point similarity (i.e. not a typo or anything like that)....but I can't find any reference as to why that was done, so I'm reverting them back to 3 point similarity (as shown in the familiarity chart). Should be corrected in the next update.

“Nothing happens” isn’t really an option. most likely is that the dialog is being positioned off screen (happens when your screen setup changes). Delete your appPrefs.xml file before starting HD to reset everything. if an error is occurring (typically would have a dialog stating that) then I’d need you to post your trace.log file

There is no translation function or functionality in HD.

The OP has 48 hours to purchase a legitimate copy of 6E1 (he has exactly zero purchases and has been using pirated material). Failure to do so will result in his account being banned.

Apparently using a pirated copy of 6E1, which he decided to post a direct link to 🤨

Have you looked at Skill Levels, perchance?

As there are no hard rules around skill combinations beyond "merge multiple skills together to make character creation and gameplay easier for new players" there's really nothing to include in HD. Either use any of the existing Skills and rename as needed or use a Custom Skill.

Russia has been at the top of the bank fraud/hacking game for a LONG time now. Most often, they wouldn't need/want to take on the debt themselves - they have enough leverage on the banks (read: extortion) to be better off using them as a shield/cover for their activities.

Likely masks would be better modeled as a form of tarbaby damage shield (only vs. virus particles being exhaled)...or a modified force wall...

Changed permissions so that only Admins can post answers. Keeping it as a Q&A forum, since that functionality seems more inline with its purpose.

And that didn't last long. Folks couldn't seem to grasp the concept that the Rules Questions forum was not the place for discussion. As maintaining the Q&A nature of that forum was becoming a PITA, I've changed things around -- only users belonging to the Rules Maven group will be able to respond to questions posted. If you'd like to be added to the group, message me for details....but all members will be required to understand (and abide by) the difference between answering a question and starting/furthering a discussion.

Also - my knowledge on this is not deep...just getting up to speed after my COVID project IMG_1427.MOV

Both Jango and Boba Fett rose to become Mandalore, IIRC.

There is a very (very) deep well of canon that you can go down on that. Crusaders, Neo-Crusaders, Deathwatch, New Mandalorians, True Mandalorians....

Replace Suppress with Drain -- apologies.

It's not ignoring anything. Take the following: a magic spell that grants the recipient +30 Strength for 1 hour. Don't worry about the construct except that it is bought as a Power (Characteristics bought as Powers are NOT Characteristics). The recipient of the spell is trucking right along, feeling great....and is hit with a Suppress, knocking that spell down to just +5 Strength for his remaining 45 minutes. Sadness occurs. Even more sadness occurs when he is then hit by a Dispel, eliminating the Strength bonus altogether. But wait! That Suppress is going to fade. As soon as it does (and the total Strength exceeds the amount of Dispel), said spell snaps back into being on our intrepid hero.

They apply to one and only one Skill, defined at purchase. As for why not just purchase levels on the Skill, you can...unless you want to apply modifiers of some sort (which is the point to the SL). Flip the argument on its head for what would happen if you could apply 2 point skill levels to any skill or even a related group of skills -- why would you ever buy levels on the skills themselves?

Mostly (though not officially) confirmed. He had creative disagreements with the directors....specifically, he wanted to show his face more (a bit of a no-no). Plus side, he was only occasionally in the suit -- that was normally Brandon Wayne, who I believe is continuing on.

Oh, if you only want a portion of it to be Resistant you can't use that "Add Modifiers to Base Characteristic" -- that'll apply to the entirety of the base PD/ED. Easiest is to leave the PD/ED at 10 on the Characteristics tab and then purchase +10 on the Powers tab with Resistant applied.

On the powers tab, buy PD or ED, keep the levels at 0 (so you’re not adding any to the base), check the box to add modifiers to base characteristic, and then purchase whatever mods you want on the character’s PD or ED

It appears that yes, I can. For everyone else: LEARN TO READ. The Rules Questions forum is not the place for discussion. I will start using the infraction system for repeat offenders -- it's not fair to those who want to use the Q&A forum for what it's supposed to be to keep moving questions here when you just can't keep yourself from commenting and discussing rather than answering.
