Thanks! I like looking at the recreations of stuff from final fantasy, and DBZ and just different well known characters and how they are built with HERO.

Yeah, im aware the d20 has a flat 5% chance of every number. Thanks though.

I know it doesn't have the same bell curve and goes from 1-20 instead of 3-16, but anyway, has anyone ever played with a d20? Of course d6s would be done for damage and all of that. Just curious.

Oh nothing specific. I just like looking over the stuff. I'd figured it would be on a wiki or something. Thanks though!

Just as the question says, I own most if not all 6th edition books, but I was just wondering if there was some sort of fan site (or even on the boards) where I could see what some fans have made?

I downloaded it and it says you can't save you can only print it. Is that just an issue on my end?

This is so incredible that I hate to nitpick... but is there a way to change the default font that the fillable text comes up as?

So I got my hands on Acrobat 11, and I figured I'd make a form fillable character sheet for you guys. I know there is already an excel one out there, and it's great. BUT if you want a version of the official sheet here you go!

Re: Mystical tests of character?

Eh not mine but there is always the test of high sorcery from dragonlance. It usually leaves some huge scar(physical and mental) on the person taking it. If they fail they die.

Re: Dragonlance moon magic

Upon looking harder perhaps > AID with Trigger (moon phase) ,and variable effect (magic)....?

So I'm going through HERO and trying to make random things for various settings. I started thinking about Dragonlance and how a wizard would handle the waxing and waning of the moons. Essentially, when the moon is at high sanction (full moon) a wizard usually gains some sort of benefit on his spells. Low sanction (new moon) provides hinderances. Also if 2 moons are at high sanction they get even MORE bonuses , and if all 3 moons are high sanction magic becomes rediculously powerful (this happens very rarely) . So my question is how would you go about simulating this? I was looking at buying "trigger" as a naked advantage with other advantages on it,or something . The thing is I simply want the magic spells to increase in power when the condition is triggered (aka full moon / no moon). So what do you suggest?

Re: Tolkien Elves in Hero

Eh, to go and say they are demigods is kind of a stretch. The Valar are gods (really angels/children of Illuvatar) who chose to go to earth. The Maia /Istari / Wizards /Sauron are demigods more so than elves. The elves were just the first born, they can die almost as easily in combat as men although your reference does say they can take a bit more punishment , in theory it seems that way, but in most of the books elves usually die in wars as easily as man... They indeed can not die of sickness or old age... but that's just about it. Also they can use a bit of magic but nothing as powerful as the Istari. The one thing that gives men the edge over elves are their adaptability and the fact that men can die and make their own fate while the elves can not. Also elves can die from grief, so that might be something to look at as well.

I took a look at the free stuff, and there are a lot of really cool star hero forms that I'd like to use . What are the differences between editions of star hero world generation (if any)? Did you change the parameters of generation at all?

Re: Template sheets for download?

I whipped this up if anyone is interested. Didnt take too terribly long . It has both powers and frameworks as templates to fill in yourself.

I thought it would be a neat idea to be a planeswalker from MTG. I figured for mana I would ditch end and replace it with the 5 types of mana. So I figure to simulate drawing "mana" the character would gain 1 mana of your choosing every 12th segment. Any suggestions or anything?

Are there any sheets (akin to say... character sheets) for making powers/items/power frameworks? Is there a sheet out there that concisely and uniformly allows you to fill in what power it is , what advantages and limitations there are with costs and all of that? Also it would be nice for a power framework sheet as well, which are just more advanced powers as I understand. If there isnt I suppose I'll have to whip out the old excel and make something of my own. I just wanted to know if something existed out there already. I love things like GM sheets that allow you to keep track of your own items and story and stuff like that. Anyway, thanks for your time !

Long live HERO !

So a power with this requires a roll to activate, then a roll to attack, then if succeeded you roll for damage?

Not sure if this exists or not, but has anyone ever tried to compile different powers made by fans / community members, to go off of? I'd think that something like this exists surely.

Does anyone know when the Hardback version of StarHERO will be available to purchase?
