Interesting fact about this is that REH submitted some stories as Conan and Kull and the editor didn’t like them and when he resubmitted the story with the other hero then they were approved.

Unfortunately that was one of my many started but never finished projects. One thing to keep in mind however is that NE STR doesn’t track very well at all with Hero System. I forgot exactly how much STR in NE you need to make even a low level Brick in Hero. Also not sure how you are going Heavy Armor and Weapons from NE (if you’re keeping the mechanic identical) Because those that are wearing Heavy Armor aren’t affected at by regular weapons. Naturally you can house rule this or ignore it.

Social “Justice” is not justice at all. It should be scrapped thrown into the garbage dump.

Thanks everyone so far!

Well if your cracking some books then I’ll extend it to 3rd and previous editions. I do and mines buried too 😂. Plus me and the misses are going away for a vacation.

Thanks for the input. (I do have the Ultimate Metamorph) I know that there are plenty of examples of other popular comic book character types. I’m just curious as if there was any Stretchers in 4th Ed.

Interesting that you mentioned about cutting wood with an axe. Matt Eastman has a video going over which ones would work and which ones wouldn’t. Who knew that some axes are designed specifically for war? one thing that 8 really like about Matt Eastman (his site is called Schola Gladitoria ) is that he’s big on context, context, context.

Name per chance? And thanks.

Hellos All, I have an unusual request. Are there any “official” as in printed Characters (wether good or evil) that are written as a Stretching character. I never ever ran across one at least not in the Enemies books that I have. Just wondering 💭 f there was any.

Maybe not so much a computer model but when D&D was 2D6 there was a matrix that you would look at depending on weapon attacking what armor. It could give you a small bonus or penalty. @Old Man, depends on what ax compared to what armor. The mace is useful against all armor and it’s easier to use. You don’t have to worry about an edge alignment.

@Old Man, the thing I like about about Todd from Todd’s workshop is that he explains the variances of steel. He uses a mild steel which is roughly comparable to medieval steel. He and Matt Eastman talk about how even In Medieval times there was different grades of metal and they do point out how imperfections in the metal can affect weapons and weapon breakage. Did you know that later Metal Maces actually had a wooden core in the shaft to give strength but reduce weight?

It’s been awhile but I believe the book has rules for Iron against Bronze. It acts as AP iirc.

The tagline line is Men of Steel in the Age of Bronze. Iirc.

@Asperion, if you get a chance, the Asian Bestiaries have some monsters that are similar but different than Westerners are used to. If I understand correctly, the Witcher’s monsters are more in the vein of Eastern European traditions which seem different. The monsters you listed are so influenced by Media that by just going back to the original myths would make them seem different too.

They roll like any other dice. Sometimes spectacular failure when you need the roll and other times Amazing. I will say the Body Pips make it really easy to teach new players that mechanic.
