I honestly don't think that this is a flaw. All it's saying is that at a certain point, the "limitation" of having only X charges isn't really limiting the character enough to be worth any points. For Charges, that cutoff lies at 33. Frankly, I agree with that. I've played characters with charges fairly often in the past, and when they have more than 12 I rarely have an issue running out. It's rare that a character is in combat more than once a day, and given that most combats are fairly short-lived, it's rare that you get a chance to fire off that many rounds. Now, with the new MPA rules and such, it helps make Charges more limiting, but I still feel that 33 is a good cutoff for it not being limiting enough to warrant any points.

Also note that Charges will max out at a +0 (regardless of the number of Charges) if the Power is already 0-END. So that extra +1/2 that you're spending is because you are gaining the benefit of 0-END from the Charges. If you apply it separately, you don't have to pay the +1/2.

I wasn't being rude, so come down off of your high horse. My assumption was that he didn't know what FREd referred to (common enough....especially for someone both new to the boards and from another country). My followup post was the same as my first one, but specifying the book in a way that he would be able to identify....and explaining what FREd meant so that he could recognize the term in the future.

Turn to page 206 of the Hero System Fifth Edition Rule Book (the big black book that contains all the rules for 5th edition...also known as FREd). Start reading.

Heya Steve! I just wanted to post a quick followup to the question on Partially Limited Characteristics, as I think the angle that the poster was getting at was the rounding rules (and I want to make sure that I'm still doing things right in HD): If a character has 16 CON and then buys +7 CON; OIHID, the way HD is calculating the ED is as follows: 16/5 + 7/5 = 3.2 + 1.4 = 3+1 = 4 Rounding occurs at each calculation, which is taken to be each incremental purchase of CON. It's done this way because the total CON may include some purchases which are No Figured Characteristics (or other issues in some cases). Is this correct, or should it be 16/5 + 7/5 = 3.2 + 1.4 = 4.6 = 5?

LOL! The test went very well....the chat normally gets hopping during the scheduled chats with Darren and Steve....that's your best bet to check back in ;-)

Hey all! I've (finally) had a chance to go through the chat server code and start to refine it. Hopefully this will prevent any crashes during the Monday/Thursday chats. To that extent, I could use your help. I need to "stress test" the chat. I'll be in the chat room all evening today from now (~4pm CT) until about 9pm CT. If you have a minute, please stop into the chat and see how it works for you. Thanks in advance! Dan

Currently, they only take Visa and Mastercard.

Steve - Is Extra Dimensionaly Movement inherently Constant, or is it an Instant Power? On the summary table of the Powers in FREd (pg 87), it's listed as an Instant Power. However, under the Power's main description (pg 111), it's listed as Constant. I checked the Errata and didn't see anything on this.... Thanks in advance (once again)!
