Excellent, I'm really interested in this book. I was in on the original Kickstarter for it, looking forward to supporting it again.

That inconsistency is very inconsistent!

In my game group, we have people miss hexes from time-to-time (we joke that the hex 'dodged'). I understand what it's supposed to simulate (you can miss in targeting a certain location) and that's fine, but I do agree that DCV 3 is too high. A normal has an OCV of 3, so they only have a 50% chance of hitting the ground directly in front of them? Really? It's one of those things in Hero that's just silly.

How would you make Bending Powers like in the Avatar series (Last Airbender and Legend of Korra) in Hero 6th edition? Chi-Blocking and Spiritual Powers too. I'm starting to come up with ideas for this myself, but want to see other GMs take on it. I'm thinking all such abilities would be pre-made (to enforce genre) and the players would pick what they want for their PC. The whole universe has a super-hero feel to it, but with very specific powers that work in specific ways. Any design help is welcome!

But V'han is the hero come to liberate Earth, the PCs are just unwitting pawns of evil, oppressive governments that want to stay in power at any cost.

Come to think of it, she probably would! She is sanity challenged!

She is young and very naughty, I've always thought that it would be funny if her father (Dr. Arcane) went and spanked her for being such a bad girl. That would be an unexpected way of dealing with a villain, she gets punished and sent to her room without dinner!

I did the same, it was actually a stated option in the Coriolis Effect. I think she would need even more revising for 6th edition to be a challenge these days.

The Black Enchantress was the main villain from the classic adventure "The Coriolis Effect". It came out in 1986, so the Black Enchantress was a 3rd edition Champions character. I'd like to see a 6th edition version of her, fleshed out as she should be (the original stats were very sparse). There is more than one way to write up the Black Enchantress, so I'd like to see what ideas the gurus here can come up with! The comic book version of the character (from the Heroic Publishing comics) would be interesting as well (even if you don't like them).

My Hero Designer isn't working after an update to the latest JRE (came out on the 19th I believe). Has anyone else experienced this issue? Reinstalling HD, etc. does not help. Thanks, Keith

OK, I know this failed on Kickstarter previously, but there have been SIX Hero System projects in a row that have successfully funded through Kickstarter. I really want to see this book made, and I think a Kickstarter for it should be tried again.

Re: MYTHIC HERO Kickstarter Don't worry, it will be successful! I chipped in for the $75 level. You can look forward to ~4 months of paid geek-out working on it!

Re: Champions Villains, Volume 3: Solo Villains I'd like to get Champions Villains Vol. 3 printed as well! Have a special bundle for backers where they will get all 3 CV volumes (books and PDFs) at a certain backer level.

Re: Black Enchantress I'd give her Ch'andarra's stats (as suggested in the supplement), up her VPP to 120 active, and change her Mental Manipulation EC into a Multipower. Then I'd adjust her CV/SPD/DEF etc. to fit the heroes in the game.

Re: MYTHIC HERO Kickstarter Significant = More than just a single page with some vague ideas. I want some example characters, typical divine abilities built with hero system powers, and game mechanics. PLEASE!

Re: MYTHIC HERO Kickstarter I'd like to see the angels added (mentioned in the Demonology section). I'd really like a significant amount of 'build your own' material added as well for god and pantheon building in a game world. Also, how to replicate divine powers in the hero system, building/playing/GMing gods as PCs, etc.

Re: BOOK OF THE EMPRESS Kickstarter I know how to be sure to make the secondary goal: announce that the interior art of the book will include pictures of Istvatha in lingerie, swimwear, etc!

Re: MYTHIC HERO: What Do *You* Want To See? How about going over how the "I am a God!" thing would apply to existing villains (Dr. Destroyer, Istvatha V'han, etc). What if they become gods? How would that work with regular and god-type heroes?

Re: Damage Negation!

Re: Istvatha V'han - why can't she conquer Earth? That's an interesting idea. She takes over whole dimensions (universes, etc.). Earth is just one planet, maybe she does control the dimension already, how would we know?

Re: BOOK OF THE EMPRESS Kickstarter This is working well, how about Mythic Hero next? Could the Empress cross over to that genera? She becomes a goddess perhaps?

Re: 6th edition I mostly liked the changes from 3ed to 4ed as soon as it came out. I think the changes from 5ed to 6ed are even greater, mostly due to the changes in characteristics. I understand why the changes were made (and agree with it mostly) but I think it wasn't done as well as it should have been and inadvertently broke almost as much as it fixed.

Re: 6th edition I agree with much of what Checkmate says. One of the guys in my game group summed it up well. He said that all other editions of Hero were evolutionary changes, but 6th was a revolutionary one. This created a one step forward, two steps back effect that left many Hero system fans unhappy. I'm not saying that 6th edition is bad (it isn't) it just changed too much at once and broke some significant things in the process (note my sig).
