That would be very cool to see!

Hey Brick! How is your Boston Campaign going?

They are a pretty good bunch of gamers. I am pretty lucky to have found them. Now that we have made the switch to Star Hero from GURPS Traveller it's even better.

Interesting...I've for so long been a fan of Traveller...the Universe and the pseudo-history, though not neccessarily the game systems.

I started back up again with T20, which I grabbed at to support Traveller stuff in general and familiarity (we have had a long-going D&D game) . However, HERO came along. So now, I too am thinking of a sci-fi game set in the Terran Confederation.

I would like to know your reasons for The Switch.

You mean we gotta wait 2 weeks for more!

And the Spacer's Toolkit is coming out this month!

Me too!

Nietchzian Package Deal

So let's summarize what we have so far:

3 +3 STR

9 +3 DEX

6 +3 CON

6 +3 BODY

3 +3 PRE

1 +2 COM

12 Bone Spurs: HKA 1d6; 15 ActivePoints; Reduced Penetration (-1/4)

12 Nietzchian Physiology:LifeSupport,Extended Breathing (1), Immunity: All terrestrial diseases and biowarfare agents, Longevity: 200 Years

-20 Distinctive Features: Bone Spurs/Recognized as Nietzchian (Not Concealable, Always Noticed and Causes Major Reaction, Detectable by Commonly Used Senses)

-15 Psychological Limitation: Ultra-Competetive (Common, Strong)

Total Points: 17

Although you could make the dist features a -15 if you think that the Bone Spurs, etc are Concealable or don't cause a major reaction. Then again, their competitive nature may be Total for a -20...sooooo 17 to 22, unless we are missing something....maybe more STR?

Comments?

. Maybe +2 Com also. Does anyone know if Nietchians live longer than normal humans? If so, throw in Life Support: Extended Lifespan.

Don't know about the lifespan...

How about Presence? For some reason, female N's always have this "sexiness" about them that tends to give them an allure...well at least Dillon and Tyr tend to fall for them.

My friend is working on a racial template for Nietcheans....

Thanks Steve!

Anyone ever thought of doing Battletech HERO?

When is the Spacer's Toolkit coming out? It is set for May release on this site, but what's the word on the street?

I really enjoyed the USPD, so I kinda gotta get this product when it comes out also.

No...that's a good point. I would choose Steve's third suggestion...make the OIF into an IIF...I think the difference is -1/4...

so the Cloaking Device above would be...17 pts

Don't forget Enhanced Senses!!!

and something pretty cool...a Cloaking Device. Check out Stalwart in the CU book!

better yet...here's an example...

Cloaking Device: Invisibility to Sight Group, Nightvision, Infrared Perception (30 Active Points); Costs Endurance, per Phase (-1/2), OIF (-1/2); Total Cost: 15 points

Just recently acquired a copy of STAR HERO and am blown away, like I usually am with most HERO system products. I really like what you are beginning to do with the B5-Hero project.

I like the P, rating scale...so what are your limits for powers in the 75 + 75 scale?

Story hour still going strong!

I have issue #1 and the first part of issue#2 up.

(issue=session)

check out sig for the link!

Exactly!

Can't wait to get mine!

Hermit, that's a great idea for the Patriot Champion. I really enjoyed reading the S.A.M. write-up.

How many points? Will we see a complete stat block for S.A.M. soon?

On a side note...couldn't Dr. Silverback fit the Gadgeteer archetype for the Champions?

Characters from musicals....

Yes, Super Squirrel, you did...

I originally put it under the wrong topic.

Don't Fret! that will happen at some point....I hope Kendall Square ain't too crowded when Citgo Sign goes Down!

Hey all! I finally posted the first part of Issue #1 to the ENworld Story Hour Boards. Please go to the link and support a member of the HERO team....

follow the link below!

Champions Presents: Legion Extreme! [Hero 5th Ed]

but if it doesn't work go to enworld.org, find the messageboards link, go to Story Hour and find the story that is called Champions Presents: Legion Extreme! [Hero 5th Ed].

My moniker on the boards is Broccli_Head (I know...it's misspelled!)

However, Dr Destroyer is, natch, very powerful as a Hunted, so I wouldn't go for the 'Kill' option. But again, that's me.

I agree. However, capture and Kill give the same value.

I was wondering when I'd see a rendition of Mr. Roboto...I had thought of this as a character concept...

I wonder what he would look like at 350pts...

Just wanted a little feedback from all the experts!

I recently ran "Return of the Destroyer" in the Champions Universe Sourcebook ...

(Love the Destroid Side Art, BTW!)

Does the interference in Dr. Destroyer's plans merit a Hunted Disadvantage? Even at it's lowest value...it would be a 20-pointer (Hunted, Infreqeuntly (8-), More Powerful, NCI).
