  1. Here is my idea : a power which absorb luck's anyperson around the character ( friendly as ennemy and one as any number at the same time ) .it would be persitent . this give him a bad reputation even if the character is good. the super hero is born wihtout luck . So , he has no choice : he has to steal other's luck to stay alive .
  2. Re: Healing Vs Undead did you think to use the power called drain instead of the power called healing ? If your girlfriend is a player and not a gamemaster , she will not see the difference.
  3. Re: HERO System Martial Arts I have a question. I see the book on my shop. But the price is too expensive. It costs 28,60€. ( for a $29,99's book !! ) For this huge price, I get HSMA at once. In other side I can buy it from the website but when will it arrive ?
  4. Re: Steve's Chat Tonight (Thursday, February 24) unfortunately I miised the chat. anybody to comment it ?
  5. Re: GM conundrum - CSLs Hé ? I understood the french hero system community was ridicoulous. If we are so tough , why there is no translation ?
  6. Re: GM conundrum - CSLs I would like to thank you for the clarifying explanations. That's not what I understood. I thought you spend energy / fuel before activating your power. Because I had the HSBR under the eyes and I only quoted it. And I thought some people here sticked to HSR 5th and adviced me whereas the r ules would have been changed. My main position always was " it is not legal to spend all your points , 400 in this case , in one thing and after to spend points you haven't anymore because you need fuel to use it ". To buy a car is legal , but to buy fuel with the money you haven't anymore is not legal. And I understood - basing myself on HSBR 6th's example of the page 14 which was under my eyes - if your all points were 400 , 'only' a maximum of 325 can be spent for the rest. You certainly right because I never play RPG. Yes, I did not know all the abreviation. Now I know it. thanks again. I live near Paris. I must find someone who perfectly knows the HS Rules ( GM ) and speaking french and english and living not too far of course. And who'd accept to spend time to RPG and to explain me. A lot of conditions...
  7. Re: GM conundrum - CSLs I ever will be polite with you Gazza. So I invite you to do the same with me. I do not insult you. So don't insult me. Who are you to tell me I am amazingly arrogant ? I defend the three position. I remember you Hugh Neilson's reply for justifying my position after: I said it is not legal. My reasons ? The example on BR P14. Jason pick only 50's CP worth's complications. And BR says he only has 375 CP to create Defender. So he can't buy a blast for 400 CP. Some people argue the missing 25 CP can be recuperated by selling Normal hearing or Normal sight. But - according to the BR - more Complications do not provide extra character points to spend on the character creation ( including power ). Then , Gazza , ask me to read the p.46 because (s)he explains me no need to have many END points to use the huge blast. STUN points will be used instead of END. Okay , but Huge Neilson's character has 20END and 20STUN (bases values only because all the character points were spent in the blast ). I answer Gazza that on p.46 the only thing which looks like its description is CHARACTERISTICS; a power increasing END ( or any other characteristics like STUN ). And as it is a power , it costs some points to acquire it. And Huge Neilson's character haven't points anymore. And to finish I said Huge Neilson's character probably would be stunned or knocked out before using its huge Blast. Because to make 19- with 10d6 is improbable.
  8. Re: GM conundrum - CSLs And where do you find the missing 75 ? You take no complication. So you lost 75 CP and only have 325 CP. So it cost no END . But it does not explain where the 40 END came from. Specially when the message begins with: Okay. This is a power. How do you buy it after spending all your points for the first power? No. You decided to spend all your points in one power ( a huge Blast ) . You now decide to spend points you have not anymore in another power. I simply say No. You can't use your power. I am the GM. At the beginning - when we create your character together - you say you put all your points in the huge Blast. I said okay. You cannot change the way after . ( when you realize you need 19- with 10d6 not to be knocked out ). I read nowhere where it said you can't. BR p14. the example.
  9. Re: GM conundrum - CSLs Where come from the 40 END , please ? Sorry. But I have to say wrong one more time. Take a look on BR p14 , there is an example. The player only choose 50 points from Complications. It is written:" he only has ( 400-25 =) 375 Character Points to spend to create Defender." Conclusion ? The 25 pts from complications are lost. You can't use them to buy other things.
  10. Re: GM conundrum - CSLs If Steve allows me to give the numbers , you'll see what I mean.
  11. Re: GM conundrum - CSLs I tried twenty minutes ago and there were no one . . And in another thread , someone told me the Steve S Long's chat will take place in 3.00 AM (Paris Hour ).
  12. Re: GM conundrum - CSLs I don't know that. Steve S long will confirm . And I answer you that is your interpretation. I read nowhere you can use 400 CP to one power. But if I quoted Steve S Long through the Basic Rulebooks : In a Superheroïc campaign, characters are built on 400 total points ( and have to select 75 Character Points' worth of Matching Complications ). Superheroïc campaigns feature extremely powerful characters. They can buy Powers or anything else they want ( subject to the GM's permission, of course). GAZZA , I understand nothing of your post. I never said the basic superhero is blind. I tried to guess where the points over the 325 points came from... So I supposed they came either sacrifices from characteristics' base values , either disabilities from the blindness or deaf and dumb etc...
  13. Re: GM conundrum - CSLs If you spent all your points in a 80d6 Blast , some of the numbers - so Base Value - given in this message is/are uncorrect. According to 6th BR. I don't know where come from the cost of STUN for example. But mathematically, the super hero probably will be stunned before using its power. If your character got over 400 CP - because of disabilities - its OCV certainly prevent him or her to reach the target. I hope this message will help me to be understood inspite my uneloquent english level.
