  2. Discourse on Fantasy Hero

    in Fantasy Hero

    Posted

    Re: Discourse on Fantasy Hero

     

    Simple: Fantasy Hero is prism for the light of imagination & mechanics in order to display the colors of genre.

     

    Verbose: There is a involved history to gaming. Hero is considered by some a third generation system or construction set system. Fantasy hero in that light is a manuel for how to build a fantasy genre with the Hero system.

    One can take the same tools and material with physics and make a airplane, car, 18 wheeler or motorcycle.

    Rules can be considered physics in gaming. A lot of rules that apply to gritty heroic game that do not or are not applied to a superheroic game.

    Fantasy hero is better for utter newbies because it brings into greater clarity those things which, in the authors mind, helps to aid the fantasy genre.

  9. How to: Memory Invisibility

    in HERO System Discussion

    Posted

    Re: How to: Memory Invisibility

     

    The point is a good one, some powers should not be put in the hands of players. There are players I trust more than others with a power that has far reaching effects.

     

    One such player has requested this power and I feel that I can accommodate him, it is just a matter of proper mechanics.

     

    As an exercise of mechanics I don't think it should be out of reach.

     

    As for Derek's 'there is no SFX' all I can say is that the SFX being used is that of Psionic suppression of memory tags and isolation of the memories.

     

    Technically a Telepath could read those memories, they are not accesible by the target.

     

    I don't want a solution that is as cheap as a lot of steath and th eInvisibility is looking mighty cheap.

    Mind Control is grossly expensive, what with buying it continuous, buying a lot of dice, and overbuying for combatting the high INt, minus' to breakout roll and high but normal INT.

     

    So it looks like Transform, which if bought right, will take about 5 minutes to act upon any targets in the area.

     

    EDIT: I am considering making Memory part of th eMental Sense group, so that it can be affected by powers. A good idea that has floated around, it might be time to pull the trigger.

  15. How to: model 'quicksilver'

    in HERO System Discussion

    Posted

    Remember the short lived, but very cool, Sci-fi series Invisible Man?

     

    Our IM (Invisible Man) had a 'gland' inplanted into his brain that generated 'quicksilver' that, when used, excreted a substance that bent light around him at a quantum level.(from memory)

     

    However, this is my question, our IM could excrete the quicksilver onto objects, thus making that object invisible.

     

    In one episode I recall he used it on a door to a room that held his partner and a boobytrapped bomb. neatly avoided because when the door became invisible he (and anyone else) could see after the door became transparent.

     

    How do I model that?

     

    Do I have all objects have a transparency value and this be a transform where

    X is Objects Transparency and Y is Object transparency to Zero.

     

    Is that Cosmetic or Minor. Seems very useful so Minor?

  17. [Magic System] Runecrafting Update

    in Fantasy Hero

    Posted

    Re: [Magic System] Runecrafting Update

     

    Look up Continuing Charges.

     

    Right, did that. Learned that CC work as if persistent.

     

    Although, what is the "reasonably common way" to turn this power off?

     

    Great fan of your body of HERO work, just trying here to see how deep the rabbit hole goes.

     

    On that last point we agreed, just expressed it differently.

     

    So is it right to look at this Rune as a counter to Combat teleports and short Teleporting of objects(UAO)?

  18. [Magic System] Runecrafting Update

    in Fantasy Hero

    Posted

    Questions on Mechanics

     

    So here is the first exmple:

     

    Falrath's Rune Of Dimensional Warding

    Change Environment 4" radius, -10" Teleportation

    Trigger (Someone In Area Affected Trying To Teleport Out or Someone Trying To Teleport In, Self-Resetting; +1)

    (84 Active Points)

    6 Continuing Charges lasting 5 Minutes each which Never Recover (-1 3/4)

    No Range (-1/2)

    Physical Manifestation (-1/4; Rune of Dimensional Warding)

     

    Trigger only can perceive events with normal senses, three I believe.

    So wouldn't you have to build in a Sense Magic or specifically a Detect Teleport in order for the trigger to work?

    Otherwise how can it know when to activate? Unless all teleports power SFX are the same, someone with IPE could get around that.

     

    Change Environment is a Constant power, as soon as the user falls asleep or is Knocked Out, the power turns off, why not add Uncontrolled or Persistent?

    Also user must keep LOS to area of CE unless Uncontrolled or Persistent.

     

    With Never recovering charges, is the idea that once drawn, without the Independent limit, the user only gets 6 uses of 5 Minutes before another Rune is required?

  20. How to...: Psychometry imprint

    in HERO System Discussion

    Posted

    Re: How to...: Psychometry imprint

     

    Transform: Cosmetic, Mind

    X: Object with no Psychometric imprint to Y: Object with Psychometric imprint.

    No this brings up a few questions. Questions like, can an object hold more than one Image (regardless of it’s length like a movie), the relationship between object BODY transformed and size of imprint, do violent images or highly charges imprints last longer.

    I like transform for the fade effect and the mechanic of BODY being transformed with partial Transform meaning that detail fades or increases as more BODY is Transformed.

    I wonder if a Mental power effect could be used such that one might Transform more BODY than an object has (to the limit of the Transform) in order to make a longer lasting imprint

    Would you need a separate Transform to affect an already existing Imprint, like an edit function?

     

    All those questions could be dealt with as a function of a Power skill.

     

     

    Images: Mental Sense Group

    I like Images for the selectivity and resolution of the imprint. Just mental group would give an emotional image like how much the imprinter likes or dislikes the image, Sight would give the vusial of the face/being, sound his voice etc.

    Plus the decreases to PER puts a mechanic on image fidelity, with modifiers for a static image or a moving complex one.

    Images is a constant power so it probably has to be bought with reduced END, which will make last forever, or until the Imprinter is asleep or knocked out (unless he bought Persistent)

    Now the 1 hex area can be eliminated with a limit like, “Self-only” or “Only those touching object”

    And you could add Sticky adv. So anyone touching the person touching the object also sees the images (for really powerful imprints)

     

    Telepathy has its merits

    It is an Instant power that lasts like Entangle. But would the imprint be discharged upon the first person to touch the object, then it is no more, just like Telepathy has to reroll for every different question asked?

    Of course one could buy it persistent uncontrolled then it would last.

    And what about ECV, just use the ECV of the Imprinter and roll it against the ECV of whoever touches the object?

    And what level should be targeted? Just surface thoughts, would the viewer then forget the image as he turns away unless you roll EGO +20 so the image stays with the viewer because it is now in his memory?

    Uses for both.

     

    Lingering I am not sure how this applies

     

    Trigger, I like this idea for stored messages that would give information then discharge.

    And thus viewable by Retrocognition.

     

    Gojira makes a interesting point. Is all the above overthink?

    My supposed power Psychometric imprint is just a different form of information medium. I think I have shown that more information than just a painted picture can be given, but not much more.

    Hence my interest in keeping the points, active and real, low.

    Posted

    I want to model the psionic ability to imprint Images and emotion into objects.

     

    Yes I know about the JI Talent Psychometry. I want to have the power(s) do more than read.

     

    I thought of Metal Illusions, Persistent, zero END. But that seems like a lot of points for

     

    "We are looking for this dai xchu weng "

    Character throws NPC a stone with the image of the afore mention scumbag.

    or

    "Here are the schematics for the tpye III inductor bridge."

    Player hands over an imprinted scu;pture of blown glass

    or

    NPC grabs a characters cloak which is imprinted with images of horrible torture.

     

    Now the last is a Flash I suppose

     

    How would you build it?
