Foxx!

Heroes: How would you make a Mental Power Based On INT? Cheers

Re: Using COMliness Kawanga Kid: Aside from Interaction skills, I let COM modify Mind Control effect levels if appropriate. Cheers

Re: Speed Typing Heroes: Thank you all the wonderful ideas. It's nice to get so much feedback. Cheers

Heroes: How would you make speed typing? Cheers

Re: How do you handle Str magic and End? JLXC: If the potion is a Charge item there is no END cost unless you add one. Like Outsider, I think you have to use your base STR too. Cheers

Plastick Hero: As you said, I think it’s a matter of taste. To me, point levels are like any campaign aspect such as genre, setting, etc. Like you, I prefer starting from the 100~300 range. But, like AlHazred said, I think the GM matters more. Cheers

Taxboy4: I give 3~5 CP per session, and IÂfm careful about how many CP can be spent on an ability at one time. I give points at the end of an episode, not necessarily at the end of each session. Everyone gets the same XP, but I find other ways to reward players who deserve more. Cheers

tkdguy: Like your props , this is a great idea. IÂfm starting a new fantasy campaign, and IÂfm going to do this. It feels more realistic, and it gives players more chances to use skills. Cheers

Dust Raven: How about doing it as a skill? It sounds like you are doing the same as what a technician does with a skill, not a power. You could not only fix devices but also ÂethumpÂf them into doing other things: turn on a jukebox, etc. This may be an Extraordinary feat. Cheers

Thank you

Heroes: My favourites are Hermit's GRAB, Lord Liaden's Jimmy Dugan, and Carl Sagan's 'You just won a date with FOXBAT!' ISTVATHA V'HAN, OUR HERO Istvatha V'han makes a peaceful visit to a troubled third world country and, in exchange for their joining her empire, she offers to raise their quality of life beyond any other country's on Earth. Is this a sincere offer? What happens if she gets a legitimate foothold on Earth? Will other countries join by free choice, by being conquered, or by secret manipulation? Will she name her league of nations 'The IV League'? If super villains attack the empire, what will the heroes do? If Istvatha V'han eventually gains control of the world, peacefully or by force, will the heroes serve the new regime or become super rebels? THE CAT'S OUT OF THE BAG Cheshire Cat discovers that the old man supporting GRAB is actually a front for Dr. Destroyer. At the same moment, Dr. Destroyer discovers the discovery, and only Cheshire Cat's Teleportation saves him. Wounded and fearing Dr. Destroyer has preparations in case of this event, Cheshire Cat does not go back to base but directly to the PCs. He asks them to fetch the other GRAB members and give them all sanctuary, but he is too injured to help. How will the heroes convince the other GRAB members to come quietly? Has Dr. Destroyer already fed the GRAB members another story, or arranged an 'office visit' for them? Was the old man really in league with Dr. Destroyer from the start? If Dr. Destroyer seems too much, use DEMON, PSI, or another. FOXBAT, EMPEROR OF A BILLION DIMENSIONS In CKC, there is a plot seed where Istvatha V'han falls in love with a PC. What if she fell in love with Foxbat? Does anyone have any stories involving Foxbat and Captain Chronos? I imagine Foxbat having a new scheme and Captain Chronos saying it needs to succeed. Cheers

Tywyll: IÂfm happy with both. Even though I can create beast characters myself, I want to know what the creators of Hero think is appropriate. They did a lot of outside research and work, and they know the system better than I ever will. I'd only be redoing their work in a lesser form because making this stuff is their job, not just their hobby. If you can buy only one, I recommend the Bestiary for the reasons John Desmarais said. There are few beings in MMM that I use, but it is nice to have them as a ready resource. Even if I donÂft plan to use them, my players might want to encounter them or even play them as PCs. You can always edit parts. ItÂfs easier than creating from zero. Cheers

Killer Shrike: Thanks for the advice. I like how your system has AP level directly related to skill roll level. Where can I see Eosin's system? Cheers

Heroes: I'm refining a spell skill system, and I'm considering some rules I created. Please share any comments. 1: spell skill cost = AC/10. 2: spell level cost = RC/10. 3: Every spell must have at least -1 in Limitations and a skill roll, both with no RC reduction. Every extra -1/2 adds +1 to the skill roll and reduces the RC. (edited after trying out the system) Cheers

Steve: P. 9 of UMA lists a Crush manoeuvre with the effect Crush, but I cannot find an explanation in the book. What does it do? My thanks in advance. Cheers

Steve: On p. 267 of Fantasy Hero, there is the Grant Wish spell. Thank you for having that because I had wondered how to do wishes. But why does the power have 0 END, Persistent, and Independent? My thanks in advance. Cheers

Grim Jesta: This is good advice from Farik. Read Fantasy Hero p. 240, ÂgEven if the GM...Âh Players donÂft have to buy all their spells in one VPP. They could buy a single spell as a VPP to make the spell flexible. Arthur has an interesting idea too. http://herogames.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=13133 Cheers

Heroes: Thank you for the ideas. I'm definitely going to try these. Cheers

Heroes! I just got Fantasy Hero this winter and IÂfm thinking of switching from doing spells as Powers to doing spells as Skills. If you have experience or advice, please share it. Cheers

Hello Steve: I have a question about Transform. You cannot use Transform to kill a target, but could you turn a target into an object and then destroy the object to kill the target? Say...could you turn people into cookies and then eat them? Cheers
