  1. I don't think anyone's done an official MHI export but KillerShrike has a pretty good one available either in the downloads or on his website under "Here Be Monsters" HM
  2. Take a look at my John Wick dark champions thread to see a couple of 6e garrote examples. They are both in the 'equipment section' at the end of the first post. HM
  3. I think that this area of group effort(more on this later) has the small but stll real chance of being a tipping point if investors ever decided to try and market HERO as a viable alternative to D&D. HM
  4. Yes. I would have loved to have been an earlier participant to this thread but it had the unlucky fortune (for me) t coincide with my issues of re-learning my right hand dexterity on an iPhone 6 no less! I was a fun read and I think all the bases got covered. HM
  5. Hi Everyone. I recomend taking a closer look at the Stunning add-on option to Change Environment introduced in one of the APG (6e) books i think. The basic idea is that it forces the target to make a Con roll or be Stunned. However, no damage is actually rolled. The ability has its own unique set of rules for both negatively adjusting the Con roll and the actual duration of the effect. I think it is the perfect mechanic for simulating TASER-like effects which is basically what an electrical attack really is. If someone looks hard enough they should be able to find a power writup by me somewhere that might include a quote of the full power description. Since it doesn't even cause damage it actually solves a lot if the issues of 'combining' with the more traditional effects of damage from whatever weapon it is *attached* to. I would use the Combined Power feature to construct the final build. Since the ability already has its own duration options *baked-in*, assigning Recoverable Charges (example: winding a crank) should be very easy as well. I would normally either link to one my prievious builds or just create a new one but right now i can't at the moment because don't have access to my laptop with Hero Designer right now and i am posting this using my iPhone combined with a Bluetooth keyboard. I am also a little 'high' from taking an Oxycoton recently. HM
  6. For some reason I can't follow that link from my iPhone?! I will look at it later from the hospital patients PC when I get a chance. I am curios to see if I overspent on original print runs of 6e stuff. HM
  7. Oh man! I'm glad you're better. This has been a weird week for a lot of folks and health issues lately. HM
  8. I try to keep as small of an amount of serious stuff in my brain as possible at all times! HM
  9. Thanks for the kind words of encouragement everyone. Today is the first chance I have had to be in front of a full size keyboard in over a week and it feels good! I had a reoccurance of Melanoma cancer... this time in my brain. Probably a lucky break since the symptoms presented like a stroke. They've cut out the big/easy piece and have just done a hires/3d MRI of my brain stem so they can target with radiation next week. The next big hurdle is the results a PET scan of eveything else in a couple of weeks. I am much better than just few days ago. The fine motor dexterity and strength of my right hand is the biggest issue right now. Typing this was good exercise. I know I am not a frequent contributor to this part of the forum but you guys always put a smile on my face. .... Be sure to have yourselves checked for skin cancer!!! HM
  10. Finally able to start typing with both hands again!

  11. I think marathon running might best be modeled in HERO as a mix of Skill and maybe a minor Naked Reduced END Advantage vs. Long Term END as a counter point to the more combat oriented 'sprinter'. It's all about running as fast as a character can without losing too much LTE. HM
  12. I would love to see comments from anyone familiar with both GURPS 4e and HERO 6e regarding the recent [GURPS 4e Gun Fu) John Wick build from the RPGnet "Let me tell you about my character..." forum. It looks very detailed but I understand very little about GURPS. HM
  13. What additional skills would John Wick have as a result of being a former member of the Navy SEALs? (I don't believe he is missing very much 'relevant stuff' from the SEAL package on page 54 of Dark Champions 5e). This is implied by the Payday 2 Wikipedia page which was approved by Lionsgate (the movie studio). HM
  14. I'm guessing that you missed that the Multipower has a 100 point Reserve where every slot is built at only 50 Active points. He actually can use Mind Scan and another Mental Power in his Multipower simultaneously. HM
  15. You raise a good question. I'll have to take a closer look at the 6e rules in this area. I created the following Multipower slot for The Martian Manhunter using 5e years ago: 3u 9) Mind Scan 3d6 (Human class of minds), +5 ECV, Reduced Endurance (1/2 END; +1/4), Cumulative (36 points; +3/4) (50 Active Points); Limited Power Affected by Adjustments as an EC (-1/4), Limited Power Not in the presence of Flame (-1/4) HM
  16. Not a typo. I was just being lazy and going on bad memory in that earlier post. It has been updated now. Thanks! HM
  17. Oh, I went to see it on the original Thursday night opening. I just haven't updated anything here to avoid spoiling it for anyone. I don't think his combat capabilities really changed. It's just a matter of keeping track of the updates and changes to his Contacts and other Perks. To be honest, those types of details are not my forte. Michael Surbrook is a much better researcher than I am on such things. I just really like modeling the combat mechanics. With that said, I will get around to making an updated version (or at least list of changes) at some point. HM
  18. It all depends on how granular you want to get. If you were basing this on the Tony Stark from the movies you could build Jarvis as an on-board AI - Follower. In that case Jarvis is actually the one with all the senses. He just happens to share them with Tony when asked via the heads up display. It's very similar to How Green Lantern Rings have been portrayed. I've even done a 5e and 6e version of this sort of AI/Follower split for GL. You can see the 6e version in the downloads section of this site. The 5e version is available here, here and here. HM
  19. From an old thread here is another fan made version: http://www.herogames.com/forums/topic/86844-6th-edition-gm-screen/?p=2301873 https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/6083133/Hero6eGMScreen.pdf HM
