Re: I'm curious, why is Dex still more expensive than other characteristics? In my opinion, there is a ridiculous amount of controversy over Dexterity in FAR TOO MANY SYSTEMS! In D&D, it is called an "uber stat". In Spycraft 2.0, it can make a character very formidable, very fast. In Mutants and Masterminds, it got divorced from Defense and chance to hit with ranged attacks so it wouldn't be "overpowered". It generates a lot of heated debate amongst New World of Darkness fans. It, along with IQ, cost twice as much as ST and HT in GURPS, and it too is often scorned as being unbalanced. In the HERO system, Dex costs more than other Attributes.

Re: The HERO Basic Game Box Ooooh, what kind of pens?

Re: Forgotten Reallms in HERO What are some ways to represent "Epic Level" characters (as per 3.0/3.5/Pathfinder) in HERO 6th Edition?

Re: The Hero System is bland and over complicated The Hero System is bland. Anyone got some Tabasco Sauce?

Re: The Hero System is bland and over complicated How did you do this?

Re: The Hero System is bland and over complicated

Re: The HERO Basic Game Box Should miniatures be a part of the deal?

Re: "Normals" gaining superpowers: how would they change in terms of mentality? There is no reason you can't do both.

Re: "Normals" gaining superpowers: how would they change in terms of mentality? Huh?

Re: room filled with water Keep on stomping. I'm just not sure it's going to do any good in the long run.

Re: The Hero System is bland and over complicated Just trying to see what you mean by "spoon-fed". Not everyone uses the term in the same way.

Re: room filled with water Or, if you pay enough points to get high enough mass, filling up a swimming pool or lab room with air/watertight doors could be handy. But, yeah, that's basically what I meant.

Re: "Normals" gaining superpowers: how would they change in terms of mentality? Thank you guys for the answers so far, and for those that haven't answered, please do so! I now need perspectives on the following powers: 6. The ability to read minds. 7. The ability to conjure permanent items that weight up to ten pounds. 8. The ability to regenerate from even mortal wounds and ignore illness. 9. The ability to teleport (closely related to flight, but it differs significantly). 10. The ability to selectively enhance your senses at will: see vast distances, hear ordinarily inaudible sounds, function in the dark as if it were day, track by scent, and so forth.

I know it will likely never happen, but if a box set that introduced players to HERO 6th Edition was created (much like the D&D version), what would you want in it? What should it have in it?

Re: The Hero System is bland and over complicated Just curious here: what is an example of a system with a setting that is spoon-fed to the reader?

Re: The Hero System is bland and over complicated Well said. We need more open-minded folk such as yourself, in the hobby.

Re: Forgotten Reallms in HERO Wow, Bismark, thank you very much for that informative post! Myself, i'm using the 3.0 Forgotten Realms books.

Re: The Hero System is bland and over complicated Excuse me? Is there a problem with systems that have an included campaign setting?

Re: HERO System Bestiary PDF In Store I was referring to the physical book.

Re: The Hero System is bland and over complicated To be fair, I can see his point about the system being bland: a beginner reading through (especially one used to systems with a setting/campaign world built in) will see a whole lot of rules and not much else.

Re: Forgotten Reallms in HERO Why do you need to "convert" a player? Can't they use/run/play/enjoy more than one system? Anyhow, good luck. It is hard to find players that even know what HERO is.

Re: HERO System Bestiary PDF In Store Can't wait to see this on Amazon.

Has anyone here ever ran a Forgotten Realms campaign with any version of the HERO system? How did it turn out?
