Re: Req: Civil War Firearms stats

Most melee weapons can be derived from the hand-to-hand weapon in either 5th Edition or Fantasy Hero.

 

I also offer this:

The stats for the guns might help for artillery.

Yeah, a bayonette or calvary sabre is pretty easy...couldn't really think of anything special there.

But the list of firearms for an 1860 campaign and the Monitor guns should be of help. We're not too worried about being that historically correct, but we do have one character making guns his schtick, and I was looking for something to work from.

Any guesses on the damage and range mods for muskets? I'd assume a bit more potent than the era's rifles, but less accurate at range.

Anyone have any writeups for weapons of the American Civil War era? Mostly your handguns, muskets and rifles, but also possibly artillery and melee weapons.

I'd check my 4th edition Western Hero for ideas, but I can't find it.

Re: Multiple charges

Steve did answer the question' date=' as he has said nhe will, with a reference to the page in 5er which includes the rule in question. The problem is that Ladikn hasn't upgraded to "Hero 5.5", and "Hero 5.0" does not have specific rules in this regard[/quote']

 

Oooh. Way to treat those loyal customers who supported Hero by buying the new 5th edition as soon as it came out. Silly people should have refused to buy any 5th edition until the real version came out. I mean, the competition does it, so Hero should too. (Yeah, yeah, not as bad. Just sorta annoying having to flip through a page conversion chart when reading up on questions and answers here. More so to know that such a chart wasn't provided at all by Hero itself.)

Whoops, Steve. I think you got one wrong. Looking through the rules question, I noticed that you said that martial throw does not allow attackers to use their own velocity in the +v/5. This directly contradicts the UMA, at least in the Speedster Martial Arts package which suggests exactly such a move.
