Re: OK, Math And Science Experts: Cubic Hexes I think this is simplest way... I like this, men: i dont' want to troll but, i like You use Metric Decimal units! (i HATE conversion from meter to feet or to Kg to lbs and vice versa... and i came froma country where metric decimal units are used so... you know... i think "Hero is better" even for this

Re: M&M: this is a Nightmare?

Re: M&M: this is a Nightmare? Err... do you known when you check your sheet to find "posting on the forum: 17-", you think "i can do it" and roll a "18"? :) Yes, i mean "i fumbled" Oh, i think can be possible i've earned that not ALL d20 system is "bad" but... but... i think ONLY CHAMPIONS (and of course Hero ) can be used for a TRUE superheroic rpg... a d20 superheroic rpg is... well... a true nightmare for me!! (and seems that no one can stop the "d20 invasion"... maybe we can ask someone-with-superpower to help?? )

(Back from the Lurker Limbo...) I've seen Mutant & Mastermind game... In the end... a Superhero rpg with the d20 system... (with cool pictures from Images' authors) My worst nigthmare... ... It's a DARK AGE for True Games.. this make me saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaadddddddddddddddd (back in the Lurker Limbo)

Re: Re: Re: "We´ve seen their faces, but who are they?!" D'OH! it's Divago, not Zivago Yep, i think making a write-up for Ratman is time-expensive and i've no much time...

Re: "We´ve seen their faces, but who are they?!" This is 'cause Leo's influence from Marvel (from Kirby in particular)

Re: Re: Re: "We´ve seen their faces, but who are they?!" LOL it's True :)

Re: "We´ve seen their faces, but who are they?!" My Avatar is Rat Man, an "Hero" created by an italian artist (i'll call him "The Master" :)) Leo Ortolani (see the official site) very very comical (marvel style, and mocking...) but unluckily (for you ) not available in an english version I think is near impossible to create this "hero" powers... but i'll try, asap...

Re: HERO 1st times Well my first hero was... is... will be... :( today, i've NEVER played Hero :( 'cause my friend all hate american comics, or prefer other games like DnD or like, or have no time to play another RPG so i've never played Hero... But i've played Fuzion; i've know Fuzion some years ago, looking for Talsorian Games CP2030 and other RTG product (even DragonBallZ:RPG ) after played Fuzion some times, i began to find for Hero, but in italy is not simple find games (only d20 and/or WW product are easy to found here... and games translated in italian, of course, so some OLD "Stratelibri" production like CP2020, Call of Cthulhu, and MERP) So in a year or two iv'e bought HERO System 5 edition (thanks to a friend who import games from USA...) But have'nt found time and/or player to play it... Now, next saturday i'll play a one-shot champions gaming session, and hope i'll start a campaign in the next avril... please wish me good luck

Okay, i known that no one is interested, but... okei, this is Red Blaster i dont' know why is slightly out of focus, but i like this image... (if you want, rainbowX.jpg with X between 1 and 7 are all rainbow sisters...)

Yes, are some similarity (much similarity) betwen Violet Speedy and your Ultra Violet (besides that i have no other pics than heromachine captures ) So i think do you like Violet Speedy idea (my idea is that she is a "fast running", but she's "not-so-fast", 'cause her quickness is given from HIGH speed, not high running movement...) I think you're right. Besides it is a "villainess" Another idea is that Multipower can be made only through goggles (goggles can alterate "energy flux" from eyes and block or focus them) so multipower built with a focus limitation (Focus Goggles, breakable, can be replaced...) And disadvantages built with a "only without "Focus Goggles" or goggles with sapphire lens" (a -1/2? or even -1 limitations) (yes, limiting disadvantage so become a lesser disadvantage...) Now, what power? I've thinked about a Multipower with some energy blast (some lesser powered, some more powered, some defensive or "scouting" like a force wall or a "infra red sensory boost") And a resistent ED against energy based attack (better a HIGH rED only against heat and flame and searing light based attack) Suggestion?

Okay, but, how can i create the "oh my god i've lose my goggle!" effect? i mean: if someone steal/break/remove/etc the protection goggle, an EB will shot from the eyes, right? Now, this will be only a special effect to force player don't remove goggles or a true effect, i mean a regular energy blast that blast away all things (do EB standard damage to all she's looking at)?

Besides, i'll begin to create this NPC Red Blaster First problem: she has a eye-rey similar to Cyclops; how can i build them? i think is a multipower with a lot of EB inside, and an "always on" limitation... or is better a "physical limitation" disadvantage? (cause she can wear special goggles...) Oh yes, i know is abit long,but she look similar to this(if someone with Heromachine2 or high drawing skill want to "paint" another image, he will have my eternal gratefulness :) Red Blaster Super-HeroBlasterFemale*Red Blaster*Skin:1,10,0,13,25,30,100,75,0,0,0,0,100;Eyes:3,0,0,0,77,99,100,75,0,0,0,0,100;Eyebrows:3,75,0,0,0,0,100,75,0,0,0,0,100;Nose:2,75,0,0,0,0,100,75,0,0,0,0,100;Mouth:10,0,0,0,77,99,100,75,0,0,0,0,100;Mask:10,0,0,0,77,99,100,0,50,0,80,80,100;Hair:20,0,0,0,50,80,100,75,0,0,0,0,100;Helmet:1,75,0,0,0,0,100,75,0,0,0,0,100;Undershirt:6,0,0,0,77,99,100,75,0,0,0,0,100;Overshirt:1,50,0,13,25,30,100,75,0,0,0,0,100;Insignia:4,0,20,0,0,0,0,50,0,13,25,30,100;Leggings:4,0,0,0,77,99,100,75,0,0,0,0,100;Belt:2,0,50,0,80,80,100,75,0,0,0,0,100;Pants:1,75,0,0,0,0,100,75,0,0,0,0,100;Gloves:2,0,50,0,80,80,100,0,50,0,80,80,100;Coat:1,75,0,0,0,0,100,75,0,0,0,0,100;Footwear:6,0,50,0,80,80,100,0,50,0,80,80,100;Weapon-lft:1,0,0,0,0,75,100,0,0,0,77,99,100;Weapon-rt:1,75,0,0,0,0,100,75,0,0,0,0,100;Back:1,75,0,0,0,0,100,75,0,0,0,0,100;#

The idea is born in another Topic (thank you to for "input" ) I'm thinking about a supervillainess team (o eveno heroines) who match colour schemese of the rainbow: The Rainbow Sisters!!!! Can you help me, or have you any question/suggestion? last but not least, using Heromachine i made some images of each Sister... do you want to see my "technicolor gals team"?

A master i konw has put, in a old DnD- Mystara campaign, a Kobayashi Maru; the player are going to confront with SuperWizard gargantua. He's VERY VERY VERY powerful, and he can blast away the party with a simple hand, but he don't want their death, he want only their magic items The party cannot defeat Garagantua, but can accept the condition, and give him some Magic Items. Only one has accepted, and lose a little bit of magic items. Other have tried to confront him, and lose ALL their Magic Items...

If you want, i can mention Gatchaman, I-Zemborg, anime like Voltron, Vultus V (or Combatter V), Supercar Gattiger (to mention the best products), or even Goggle5 or other japanese "Kaiju Eiga Style" telefilms :) (to mention the worst ones) All of this have the colour schemes (much simple: red is the cool boy, blue is the other cool boy/dark guy, pink is the gals, green the children, yellow the fat...) May be... You know? this idea for Sevens Rainbows is very cool... i want to use them (but i actually don't play Champions :( i'm very saaaaaaaaad....)

Re: Another villian group I've missed: Violet Speedy dress! She wear long boot, bloomer-like shorts (very short shorts and a violet (of course) long sleeves shirt, with a little "decolte'"... much similiar (near identical, except for the color ) to Cassandra's second dress (in soul calibur 2 game)

Cyclone-like Powered Armor Maybe a close related question... in a one-shot session i've made (for con, but unflortunately i've never played this ) i've made a Powered Armor character who wear a transformable powered armor, similar to cyclone motorbike-armor in Robotech (Mospeada) series (yeah is a long time ago...) After some topic in an italian newsgroup, and searching in the net, i've finally builded this like a separate Armor (with OIHID) with all power linked to this (with a -0 limitation) and a separate Honde motorbike with a -1/4 (or -1/2?) limitation "not in hero id" i think is a little complex, but think less complex to explain to player that don't known about Hero... do you have more ideas?

Re: Another villian group I've another idea: why not build a super villainess team called "The Rainbows" Are Seven, each one named after a color of the Rainbow: (sorry don't know all color name in english ) Red Orange Yellow Green Blue Indigo Violet Each one wear a dress with same color of her name, so Red are dressed in a red jumpsuit, Green in a emerald "shirt and skirt" (a little like witchcraft and a little like japanese anime girl) and Blue can be dressed in a electric blue Powered Armor More ideas are that shes has power lied to the color of the name, so Red are an energy blaster focused with heat beam, Blue are a powere armored with icy power, but is very difficult to link color to special effect. I can think about: Red=Heat or intense Fire,Orange=Fire (or amber effect, see crimson arrow's post), Yellow=Pure light (laser) energy, Green=Poisonous, Blue=Electric... but Indigo and Violet? Other ideas is to link "speed" with color (exactly with frequency or wave lenght of the color...) so violet (wave lenght <430nm) have more speed than Red (over 610 nm) If you like, you can build a "combination" power, so that are all seven sisters, that can "fuse" togheter to form an unique powerful villainess (named "Sheer Light") in a "power rangers like" manners (but i don't lile PR, so i don't like this idea but you can...) Last, but not least, name each of her with a "second name" so become clear (or appropriate) each other function; so you can have Red Blaster -hot spanish girl, dressed in a very tight red jumpsuit, has the power of energy blaster from her eyes Orange Amber -gorgeus texan ex-model,with a tragic accident in her past; she's covered with a semi-transparent amber shell, and has an always on density increase. She's a brick, and no man can stop her Yellow Monsoon -very cute little (about 14-16 years old) oriental (indian? or corean? i think japanese or chinese is too much stereothype...) girl dressed with shorts and t-shirt, her power are control wind and perform little hot airstorm to lift her in the air, confusing enemy, blinding them (with dust) and like Green Poisons -nice european (french? czech? or better from "green isle", the ireland?) girl with green eyes; she wear "shirt and skirt" dress like japanese anime, and an emerald cloak; she can produce a cloudy smoke (blindness) a poisonous gas (NND, discriminatory area or personal immunity to her and her sisters) and an acidic secretion with touch. She can also spit poison (like a cobra) and/or throw poisoned blade Blue Steel -this misteryous girl came from england (or germany?) and wear an electric blue powered armor. She's a little brick and a little blaster, so are armored (of course) strenght enhanced and fire icy end/or electrical bolt (maybe an elemental control or a multipower). She can flight using rocket propellers and have a self contained life support Indigo Mind -a beautiful not-so-young black mentalist (or mystic/mentalist) from Rhode Island, wear a strange dress, with short skirt, jumpsuit and a long cape with large "fold", like a (fantasy necromancer:)) She can use her telepathy, mind illusion, mind blast and, if you like, even some "mystic" power like summon "shadow fiend" or control undead Violet Speedy -red haired (or better violet haired maybe blonde with purple forelock(?)) canadian schoolgirl with power of uncanny speed; she can run, fly or even teleport, she's not very though or strong or like, but is very agile (high Dex:)), and quick (high speed). Her most powerful attack are a stun stick, but she can hit you severy time in a round and escape quickly so she's not to understimate... Okay this is all my ideas... ... I've lied, are another idea :) when player are familiar with this seven calamity (The Rainbow Sisters may be a nice name ) you can introduce a supervillainess named "Ultraviolet"; she's a parent? or only one copycat? the fact is that Rainbow Sisters are trying to *stop* her! And when player try to stop Ultraviolet, another girl, named "Infrared" appear... Well, i'll stay tuned (or better, i try to stay tuned ) for more...

Thanks; i'll have a look

Well, i don't' know how can be useful for this idea of mine to "convert from D&D to Hero then vice versa" but i think that "bestiary" can be useful for Fantasy Hero campaign. so i Thank You

Well, actually i'm the master and this is a PC for a con; so i've "skipped" the problem chainging a little my conception of this girl...woman actually she has a NON always on telepathy with standard effect dissadvantage (-0) and a "dependence" to a "mind suppression drug", so using this drug she can suppress the power of the telepathy (and control them), and without this drug... full power telepathy cause her some problem...

You're right :) :) i speak (read ) english but my english is poor (only 2 CP:)) so... the fact is (i'll try to explain), i have HERO from an year or two (i've buy FREd as soon as has been published... maybe a month or two later...) i've no time to play it (and nobody want to play it... even in the con... sigh sob...) so i'm searching to find utility to my Hero System copy seriously, 'cause Hero is so flexible, and D&D au contraire is "very tight", i'm figuring if i can use Hero to create something for D&D campaign, something really different from what i can build with D&D. Now, i known that is impossible to create something for D&D without making a conversion betwen 2 systems involved, but seriously, discussing about HP conversion versus Body/Stun or fireball spells for Hero... well, i think is not so "in topic" (i'd like to read this conversion in another topic, of course ) I hope this time is more explicating... For Solomon: don't worry, forse non lo so parlare, ma a capirlo l'inglese ci riesco, di solito

A character i've thinking about is a very powerful telepath... her telepathy is so powerful that she cannot turn off, and... well, think about going into the underground and hear thought of all peoples around you... and only surface thought, confusedest and chaoticest thought of hudred, thousend of people, everybody which chaotically thinks of his business without a consistency... so, what kind of "problem" i can give her? and, her battle helmet is built for "isolating" her from other people, focusing her telepathy in another power (helm use Focus limitation to remove disadvantage and give some extra points to build another little power) so, ideas or help to build this?

Re: Ultimate Gamer's Toolkit for D&D3 One moment please... i don't want to convert D&D mechanics in HERO or viceversa... i want to use hero to create magic items for D&D so, starting from an existing item for D&D (for example, a +1 flaming sword), converting in Hero only to create a new D&D magic item (-½) :) then reconverting back in D&D my purpose is not to transform a D&D campaign in Hero or viceversa,only use Hero to make D&D item more interesting (For Solomon:Salve!, posti anche su IHGG??)
