I had 4E Fantasy books way back when, on loan from my dad. Not sure where they are now, thought it doesn't seem all that unreasonable to say that I gave them back.

So one of my players has this constant argument with me over the realism of weapons and armor in Fantasy Hero. He seems to forget the "fantasy" part.... Anyway, I was wondering what everyone else's take on the realism of the weapons: their strength requirement, their damage, their weight, etc. Opinions, want them I do.

Re: Hit Locations, too high or just right?

A different friend of mine purposed a good idea. He wants half penalty for hit locations, so I set them at half. Then all the parties adversaires take advantage of this to show all my players this is a bad idea. I'm going to do this on the next game I play with them, see if it works.

I have been having an argument with one of my players ever since I introduced him to the game. His argument is that the OCV penalty for called shots on the Hit Location chart are too high, and I argue they are just right. I was wondering what everyone else had to say on the subject.

Who has read the Incarnations of Immortality? If you have, then you have a good idea of the nightmare I'm talking about. Replicating a Chronos like character in Hero system. My dad said that you need mostly fancy pancy hand waves but the gist of it would be a very good precognition and then a "Can never remember past" disadvantage. Any one else's thoughts on this?

I'm building on a post-WW3 campaign setting (haven't upgraded to 6th yet) and I don't have a lot of knowledge when it comes to guns. The story is the world has descended into chaos, and the vast majority of it is nuclear waste sites. Society in the world is nothing more then gangs and "military" factions warring each over (little) food, territory, and what ever else they feel like. The currency in this quite possible world is ammunition, meaning using guns is risky as you need the bullets to buy things. What I'm asking is if the list of firearms in my Big Big Book of Everything would be enough for this game. Looking at the list I think yes, but then again I'm not all that knowledgeable with guns. Other then that if any one would like to help me in getting this campaign as real as possible, I'm working on it here.
