  1. Or of course, you could do it with Transform/EDM/PRE attack Change Environment.
  2. Re: A Magic: THe Gathering player "Hey, wait, you can't summon more than one monster on your tur-" "Screw the rules, I have money!"
  3. Re: Captain American Build 350 pts Is anyone else really bothered by the fact that 'America' is misspelled in the thread title?

  5. Re: Dextracardial Your heart isn't off to one side, it's almost completely in the center. The difference of position is maybe a few percent of the total target area. I really can't see that an attack on your heart is liable to miss because of that. Unless you spend a lot of time getting shot in the chest, and can reasonably expect to recover from sucking chest wounds, I can't imagine that this would be worth even a single point.
  6. Is 'douche' a banned word here? I... I don't understand your motivation in this. You want to trick your players into using bad characters so that they will be forced to make their own? You're not worried that this could just turn them off of the game entirely? Or that they might end up liking the characters and keeping them anyway, despite your best-laid plans? Or that this kind of passive-agressive manipulation makes you seem kind of like a douche? I have to say that if you tried this with me, my first reaction would not to be to do more work to keep playing in your game.

  8. Re: Multipower Gadgeteer You're going to have to be a little more specific about what you want, otherwise you're just going to get utterly random builds. Theme? Tech level? I could give you a multipower user that can use various kitbashed zipguns to launch gimmick ammunition, or an alien cyborg that uses a cyberkinetically linked nanofabrication factory and shaped local hard light fields to simulate a relatively narrow range of effects, or a handy dude with a tool belt who knows how to use junk creatively. Or I could do something completely dissimilar to any of those examples; gadgeteers are a pretty wide-open field.
  9. I would so rock a Potemayo campaign I'm never sure what people mean when they cite 'anime' as a 'genre'. Are you talking about Ghost in the Shell? Slayers? Maison Ikkoku? Gundam? Berserk? One Piece? Toaru Majutsu no Index? ... Potemayo? I'd think that, say, Ouran Host Club would be a somewhat awkward setting to game in using HERO, but you could probably do it if you really, really wanted to. If you mean, can you play in Japanese? I don't know if there's going to be support in other languages. You might have to settle for a fansubbed version.
  10. Re: 275 point Mystic Hero: Dr. Phantasim 'Phantasm' doesn't have an 'i' in it. I'm going to assume that it was a typo, and not a purposeful misspelling, because you also spelled 'magician' with a 't'. ... seriously? KS: Fisticuffs?
  11. Re: Adaptive Camouflage Why did your GM nix Invisibility? Was it because he felt it was overpowered, or because it ruined plots he had in mind? Does he ban Invisibility (the power) in the game entirely, or did he specifically not want you to be able to cloak your parked car? If you use some other power construct to do exactly the same thing, isn't that really trying to do an end-run around him? I don't know how you brought it up; maybe he had an idea that you wanted to be driving around in an invisible truck, running down criminals in the streets. Maybe he has some plan that he wants your car jacked, and your insistence on having anti-carjack invisibility wrecks that. If this is something you want, you need to talk with your GM to make sure it's okay, and to make sure it's not just one of you being a dick and trying to run something by the other. For the record, Shapeshift works fine for changing colors, but it might not give you Concealment/camoflage bonuses if you don't pay for it. Again, ask your GM.
  12. Re: Adaptive Camouflage What do you want it to do, if not become effectively invisible? Do you just want to foil APBs, or do you also want bonuses in foliage, or what? If you know exactly how you want this effect to behave, there exists a construct in HERO that closely approximates it. If you aren't specific about what you want, it's gonna be hard to help you.
  13. Re: Riddick's Eyeshine Variable Limitation on his Nightvision? He either has the OAF(?)limitation for his goggles, or the Side Effects limitation for his Susceptibility to bright light. Kinda like the Cyclops builds people keep brainstorming around here.
