Re: TravellerHERO PDF in the works I'll update the PDF with the new values.

Re: TravellerHERO PDF in the works I'd go with option 2, no restriction.

Re: TravellerHERO PDF in the works That's a good idea. I've been wanting to have example characters suitable for use as player characters in each of the Race description sections (Aslan merc, Droyne scout, Hiver tech, etc.), but I've got to get the other stuff formatted first.

Re: TravellerHERO PDF in the works Yep , I'm looking forward to getting this PDF fully filled and formatted, Marc's final OK?, and posted for everyone to see and use.

Re: TravellerHERO PDF in the works Just like FGMP-13, -14, and -15. Okay, let's do it that way.

Re: TravellerHERO PDF in the works I like it, but the purists will probably want the TL# instead of Low Tech/Med Tech/High Tech.

Re: TravellerHERO PDF in the works That all sounds good and reasonable to me. As far as GT, I think if we use that for relational damage ( more K than Rifle but less than Bazooka) to guess the values we need to use, we're okay. If we do essentially convert from GT, we'll definitely want to ask permission.

Re: TravellerHERO PDF in the works About the best we can do then is make reasonable design choices and punt. We may have to overspecifiy and say "TL12 Laser, 120Mj", "TL13 Laser, 150Mj", "100mm Missile, 50kTon", etc. since there are so many incarnations.

Re: TravellerHERO PDF in the works That works!

Re: TravellerHERO PDF in the works Hmmm, sounds like we need to collect it all in a spreadsheet and do some comparison and conversion. I think a low-power starship laser should be rated around 7d6K (DC 21), since a Nuclear Missile is 20d6Kx. Maybe we can interpolate the 150mm missiles from some of the stuff in Dark Champions.

Re: TravellerHERO PDF in the works I was looking in TNE at the power ratings of the various weapons, and one of the starships has a 120 Mj turret laser (RKA 7d6+1 using "integrated damage") while the Grav Tank has a 108 Mj laser (also 7d6+1 using "integrated damage"). The main difference is that the starship weapon has MegaRange. So I guess we need to look at the Mj rating in Traveller where given, and see what the "integrated damage" value would be. If it's a starship weapon, it has the appropriate MegaRange advantage. FYI the "integrated damage" table is at http://www.starherofandom.com/house_rules/damage_table.php

Re: TravellerHERO PDF in the works Look in the starship construction chapter... we need more standard weapon builds, and we need to get all 6 of the Maneuver drives written up; we still need snippets of info for the Religion chapter, criminal orgs and law enforcement for the Criminal Underworld chapter; look in the Professions chapter - if you have any race-specific professions that we should include, like the Hiver Tech Rep and the Aslan Assassin, we need writeups of those. Also for weapons, we need to decide if we're going to include writeups howitzers, bazookas, and such.

Re: Traveller Starship Sensors Revised- Another Look Let me know if you want to replace the package1/package2 in the Building Starships section with this...

Re: Can we see can we see I am SO looking forward to Pulp HERO!

Re: TravellerHERO PDF in the works I'll check my email when I get home this evening. Good deal!

Re: Traveller Book 3 Equipment Yeah, when I did the FASA Trek, a lot of stuff worked out to like 1CR per Active Point, medicines especially. We should probably use the average Traveller prices as a basis.

Re: Traveller Book 3 Equipment MY thoughts exactly. And GURPS Traveller makes mention specifically that Nanotech and Body Mods don't fit the Traveller mileau, so we should say something similar in ours.

Re: Traveller Psionics (long) I've added in the Limited Power Range-Based END Cost: 5*10^x meters adds x-1 END (-1/4) limitation because in Traveller, psionics cost more based on range to target. For the math challenged, this means count the number of 0s after the five, and that's the extra END cost. 0-5 meters +0 ..-50 meters +1 ..-500 meters +2 ..-5000 meters +3 etc. So if it normally costs 3 END to use a power, if the target is 400 meters away it costs +2 for a total of 5 END to use the power.

Re: Traveller Psionics (long) I'm going to modify the writeups then. I'm going to leave the Endurance Reserve as 5*Rating, so an R-2 has 10 END and an R-10 has 50 END. But I'm going change the powers like so. Sense: Mind Scan 3d6 (Organic class of minds), x2 END to Activate, x1 END per 1 Minute to Maintain (+0) (15 Active Points); Costs END To Maintain (Full END Cost; -1/2), Stops Working If Mentalist Is Knocked Out (-1/4), Limited Power Range-Based END Cost: 5*10^x meters adds x-1 END (-1/4). Total Cost: 7 points. For an R-2, which is a 10 END reserve, it'll cost 3 END to activate at less than 5 meters, and 1 END per minute to maintain. At 5 meters (5x10^0) it costs 3 END, but at 50 meters (5x10^1) it costs 4 END, and at 5000 meters (5x10^3) it costs 6 END. So he might get to use it twice before he needs to recover his END reserve. Mind Assault: Ego Attack 3d6, Does BODY (+1) (60 Active Points); Increased Endurance Cost (x2 END; -1/2), Range-Based END Cost: 5*10^x meters adds x-1 END (-1/4). Total Cost: 34 points. For an R-10, with a 50 END reserve, it'll cost 24 END each use in distances less than 5 meters, so he'll only get 2 shots at 50 meters before his END reserve is gone. Does that sound closer?

Re: TravellerHERO PDF in the works (Still working on this, this is what I have at this point.) Profession Templates This section contains Profession Templates (a.k.a. Package Deals) for a Traveller campaign. As with Terran Empire, it is broken into Imperial & Government Templates, and Civilian Templates. In addition to these packages, see Star Hero, Terran Empire, and Alien Wars for other packages that may be appropriate. The HERO System calls these Package Deals, but there are no "deals" or discounts for taking these packages. They are actually templates, representing the minimum skills a character must have to be a member of that profession. The purpose of these templates is ease and consistency. Imperial And Government Templates These templates represent government officials and members of the Imperial Military services. If the GM is running a military campaign, characters should take the entire template. If the characters are ex-military, they should take all of the skills in the template, but not the disadvantages, since they are no longer under military control. Imperial Court and Bureaucracies Bureaucrat For the Imperial level bureaucrat, use the Bureaucrat package in Terran Empire, pg. 106. Courtier For court attendees and messengers, use the Courtier package in Terran Empire, pg. 106. Diplomat For standard diplomats, use the Diplomat package in Terran Empire, pg. 107. Noble For planetary nobles (like the ruler of Leedor in The Traveller Adventure), use the Noble package in Terran Empire, pg. 107. Senator For Senators and Representatives, use the Senator package in Terran Empire, pg. 108, but change the major contact from Empress Marissa to Emperor Strephon. Law Enforcement and Intelligence Imperial Law Enforcement For Imperial Law Enforcement, use the ISP Officer package in Terran Empire, pg. 108, but change the rivalry from TSS to Planetary Law Enforcement. Planetary Law Enforcement For planetary Law Enforcement, use the Planetary Law Enforcement package in Terran Empire, pg. 109. Imperial Intelligence Field Agent For Imperial Intelligence field agents, use the TIC Field Agent from Terran Empire, pg. 109 Imperial Intelligence Analyst For Imperial Intelligence analysts, use the Analyst Package Deal from Dark Champions, pg. 39. Imperial Intelligence Operative For Imperial Intelligence operatives (covert or undercover), use the TIC Undercover package from Terran Empire, pg. 110, but change WF: Human Advanced Small Arms to WF: Beam Weapons. Military Services The Imperium has six services: Imperial Navy (Space Navy), Imperial Marines, Imperial Army, Imperial Scouts, Imperial Merchant Marine, and Imperial Intelligence ("Other" in Traveller Book 1). Imperial Navy The Imperial Navy (based on Traveller Book 5: High Guard) is the primary star-faring armed force of the Imperium. It’s duties include keeping peace and order across the spacelanes of the Imperium. The Imperial Navy is divided into three general categories: Imperial Forces, who are directed by and responsible to the central ruling Imperium authority; Subsector Forces, who patrol their specific subsectors; and Planetary Forces, who are assigned to or raised from an individual world in the Imperium. Each Term of Service, or Enlistment Period, is a four-year hitch. The Imperial Navy has six branches of service: Flight, Engineering, Medical, Gunnery, Technical, and The Line (Command). Imperial Navy Package Deals: Taken from the Terran Empire book starting on page 115 and modified as follows: Imperial Navy Command For Imperial Navy command personnel, use the Imperial Navy Command package deal in Terran Empire, pg. 114, with the following modifications: Change AK: The Milky Way Galaxy to AK: The Imperium Add KS: Leadership 11- Add KS: Fleet Tactics 11- This increases the cost of the package by +4 points.

Imperial Navy Engineering Traveller/High Guard doesn’t differentiate between Lifesystems and Propulsion — it’s all part of the engineering branch. Use the Imperial Navy Propulsion package deal from Terran Empire, pg. 115, but with the following modifications: Add KS: Emergency Damage Control 11- Add KS: Gravitics 11- This increases the cost of the package by +4 points. Starship engineers may optionally add SS: Naval Architecture 11- Those serving as Lifesystems/Environmental engineers should pick the proper System Operations subcategory(s) and Science Skills. Imperial Navy Sensors and Science Sensors and Science is considered part of the Command Branch. Use the Imperial Navy Science and Sensors package deal in Terran Empire, pg. 116. Imperial Navy Security Most Security Duties are handled by the ships marine contingent. See Imperial Marine (Enlisted) below. Imperial Navy Gunnery Officer For Imperial Navy Gunnery Officer, use the Imperial Navy Tactical package deal in Terran Empire, pg. 115, with the following modifications: Change the WF to WF: Small Arms, WF: Beam Weapons, and pick two of the following Vehicle Weapons (Lasers, Missiles, High Energy, Meson, or Particle Weapons) Add WF: Ships Screens (1 point) Change KS: Thorgon Military 11- to any one of the following: Zhodani, Solomani, Vargr, Aslan or K’Kree The changes increase the cost of the package by +1 point.

Re: TravellerHERO PDF in the works 1. I'll definitely have to add that. 2. In that case I'll remove it.
