Re: Help: Random Power Table Yes but randomly between what? SFX only? One EB a fireball the next a lightning strike? Or one an EB, the next Suppress, the next Flight usable on others? Can yiou be more specific and tell us about the special effect of the power in English non gaming speak?

Re: Sixth Edition Showcase #4: Deflection, Reflection, And Range Brace for Impact? is that not just another SFX of Roll With the Blow? Sounds like it to me anyway.

Re: Sixth Edition Showcase #4: Deflection, Reflection, And Range In a realistic game I'd just disallow it outright bit in a cinematic game I'd encourage that sort of thing wso would not apply any extra penalties.

Re: Sixth Edition Showcase #4: Deflection, Reflection, And Range Well if I wanted to penalise that I'd say that weapon length already gives you a negative 2 when blocking a medium weapon barehanded.

Re: Sixth Edition Showcase #4: Deflection, Reflection, And Range usually

Re: Sixth Edition Showcase #4: Deflection, Reflection, And Range So if missile deflection is just a variant of block can you mix and match between blocking ranged and melee attacks in the same phase? Another house rule coming true for me perhaps?

Re: Hagar the Horrible Nice write up.

Re: Sixth Edition Showcase #2: New Combat Maneuvers; Objects As Weapons How many points is that worth or are you keeping that for the new book?

Re: Name this PC - please? Pity he's no' Australian then he could be Walkabout If he was African American or better yet a Masai he could be called Safari (means a journey iirc)

Re: Order of the Stick Do you know I don't really care that much for the never-ending plot but I love the RPG in jokes.

Re: Sixth Edition Showcase #3: Area Of Effect And Damage Shield Fred, not FREd.

Re: Voice of Terror I loved all the killing attacks in one team. Scared the beejesus out of my players.

Re: Sixth Edition Showcase #3: Area Of Effect And Damage Shield Nice indeed. I'm liking the AOE Surface very much but not 100% sold on damage shield but I'm willing to give it a fair go. Keep up the very good work, Steve.

Re: Fantasy Star Wars. Harry Potter didnae pre-date Star Wars by 200 years. The original scene on the broomsticks was a cheesy rip off of the speeders.

Re: Fantasy Star Wars. I'm not sure Harry Potter was though.

Re: Fantasy Star Wars. I noticed the similarities between the speeders and harry Potter rip-off to.

Re: Fantasy Star Wars. I think I'll make the Death Star is a mile wide flying city built by a long dead race. For millennia it's lain undisturbed but recently an evil priest has worked out how to fly one. Think of the firepower that would bring to bear against a normal city. Walls and other defences would be useless. Tie Fighters become griffins, pegasi and balloons. Anyway, high fantasy with the Force as limited magic, that's what I'm thinking right now.

Re: Shape Shift into Water: Clever or Cheesy? I'd prefer if he bought invisibility, only in water (-1) personally, if that was the effect he was looking for.

Re: Sixth Edition Showcase #2: New Combat Maneuvers; Objects As Weapons And the Dark Force Dragon is born. Force attack, Breath Weapon, claw and bite. It's a phase 12 TPK just waiting to happen.

Re: Fantasy Star Wars. Thanks, guys. Yes that would really enhance the diverse universe feel of Star Wars. I hadn't considered that but will now. Some questions arise with that. Is the force stronger in some races than others? Dragons certainly, elves perhaps? Are there psionic free creatures like Huts? Hobbits maybe? How tough would a Force Dragon be ... especially in SIX when we can combine Force, Breath and HTH attacks in one big mutha of an attack.

Re: Fantasy Star Wars.

Re: Fantasy Star Wars. Another thought - you wouldn't really need to use swords any weapon or even unarmed specialistaion is gonna work. Zen Archery types firing 'Force' enhanced arrows would be cool too.

Re: Hero System 60th Edition i doubt if it'll be us arguing about it. It'll be those crazy geeks on Titan.

Re: Fantasy Star Wars. I had more thoughts. It would only work if The Force and the dark side were the only kind of 'magic' available in the campaign. Martial Arts & Psionics would be a potent mix in a fantasy setting. The Dark Side could be what creates monsters and other nastiness ... it might just work.
