Re: Rifts HERO? Great work everyone on the forum so far....I am looking at starting a Rifts style game (Riftech actually - Robotech and Rifts) and would LOVE to have more info. So NSG, your work has been so integral in translating the system across I as wondering if you are still working on it?? Thanks again everyone... PS - For those that have played, have you used points for equipment or ingame currency? How did it work out?

Re: Help with Slick from the Ultimates Thanks for all the advice on Slick and his power effects. Does anyone have any tips for using him in combat? Also the Ultimates as a unit? Thanks Bryan

Hi There, I am going to be using the Ultimates in (Binder, Blackstar, Cyclone, Thunderbolt, Slick, Radium) in my next adventure but am a little confused with the "effect" of Slick's powers as presented in CKC. My problem is with the entangles he uses - given that he has the ability of friction control I assume that he changes friction around his target. Now, couldn't all this be undone by a super with flight? With the AE attack, I am assuming that the environment is effected so wouldn't this again have little to no effect on those who can fly? Maybe it's just that I can't figure a good way to use these powers - any help or advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Bryan

Re: How do I build: Foci enhanced powers That's pretty straightforward but....should there be another lim on the booster powers (Eye of Ra and Solar oven)? I say this because the idea would be that if the MP is unable to be used (say...a mutant suppressor field) the additional powers would not be able to be used either? What do you think? Thanks for the info!

Re: How do I build: Foci enhanced powers Thanks for the quick reply - another question though. The "Gitter Makes it worse" would be built out of the MP...correct? Are there any special restrictions for this? If anyone else knows how to do this in HD it would be a great help! Thanks Daz

Hi Everyone, I just wanted to ask everyone a quick question on how to create a series of powers. Now, the concept is this - the person is a mutant that has certain powers. These powers are enhanced in strength when using different focii (one foci for each). So, originally the powers (say EB, Egoblast and Flash) are built in a multipower. I know want to add the effect of amplifying a powers (adding more dice) when a focus is used, with each power having a different focus. Note that the focus is not required to use the power, it only strengthens it. So how does everyone (anyone?) suggest I go from here? Linked doesn't seem right and I'm kinda stumped... The collective wisdom of the boards is greatly appreciated. ***If someone could advise how to do this in HD it would REALLY help!!*** Daz

Re: Gamemastering Tutorial Adventures Hey Sketch - I'll look forward to the next one! This adventure was great - concise and very well presented. You should definitely have it uploaded to the Herogames "Free Stuff" page! Thanks again - let me know when the next one i out. Daz

Re: Champions Clix - Your HC Recipes Thanks Redmenace - your recipes will prove invaluable!!! You're right - the Sunfire fig's head would be perfect for Green Dragon. Unfortunately I was not aware of this at the time and made mine from green stuff - first time I ever "modded" a figure and also the first time I'd ever used green stuff. I also did a repaint of Arashi for Shadowdragon - worked out OK considering it's the first fig I ever painted. Also thinking using the Selene figure and just repainting for Howler... A question/challenge for you - any ideas on recipes for the old 4th ed version of Menton and current 5th ed version of Rakasha? Take it easy. Bryan

Re: Champions Clix - Your HC Recipes

Hi Everyone, Not sure if there is a thread out there that already covers this but... I thought it would be quite convenient for those that have created Champions characters from Heroclix mods/repaints to post their recipes - I thought this would help inspire those modclix challenged like myself! Given that I have two recipes myself - very simple I must say. Lady Blue - repaint of Shadowcat Green Dragon - create a mask out of green stuff and repaint Daredevil. Anyone else feel compelled to share? I myself am looking for a recipe for Devastator... Thanks Bryan

Re: Looking for FH replacements in D&D Adventure... Thanks everyone for your help! I've got all the creatures I needed covered now. I will give the ratlings a go as a substitute for kobolds. Thanks again for the prompt replies! Bryan:thumbup:

Hi Everyone, I am running a D&D adventure I d/l from http://www.rpgarchive.com website but have a little problem... This is my first time running a FH adventure and, apart from having only a few hours to prepare, I want to make it distinct and very different from the AD&D world as this is the rules that these players are used to playing in. Given my time restraints I realise that the above isn't quite possible - however I would like not to re-invent the monsters in the TA campaign world with the same names etc as their D&D counterparts. Given that, I have the following list of monsters in the adventure: AD&D Gnolls = FH Erqigdlit AD&D Kobold = FH ??????? AD&D DOPPLEGANGER = FH ??????? AD&D Monstrous Spider = FH Giant Spider AD&D Hobgoblin = FH Hobgoblin So what I am looking for, asking for, pleading for, is a FH equivalent for a kobold and a Doppleganger. Most importantly, the equivalent DOES NOT HAVE TO BE A KOBOLD OR DOPPLEGANGER CONVERSION - it would be preferably an existing FH creature that fills the same niche, and has the same power level, as an AD&D Kobold and a AD&D Doppleganger. Can anyone help? This is really short notice (needed in the next 12 hours)... Thanks in advance. Bryan

Re: Clix mod challenge Lookin' good Hoiligan...Lookin' good!

Re: Clix mod challenge

Hi Everyone, Just wondering how you would simulate this power in the Hero System - the character is an "elastic man" and is able to travel great distances in a short period of time by bouncing off surfaces (like a ball). I was thinking originally Superleap with disads but then thought that this sounded more like flight with a disad of (something like) "must touch a surface every 10 hexes"...A turn mode disad may also be required. What do you all think? Are there other advantages/disadvantages I need to consider? Thanks

Re: HERO Organization Logos Just hoping you will post them for everyone to use ? Daz

Re: Clix mod challenge Hey Hooligan - Gordo looks great! What was the recipe that you used? Daz

Re: Clix mod challenge Hey Hooligan, Just wondering when are you going to post the pic of Guardian? I can't wait! I would also like to see how Destroyer went? Daz

Re: Clix mod challenge The idea that the suit is an alien body armour that amplifies the wearers psychic abilities. Guardian is actually part Ak'leth which lets the armour work on his mind. The militant parts of this alien society each get assigned an armour (which is also semi-sentient) which they bond with - the resultant powers are then unique to the individual and the armour. These aliens are actually pursuing Guardian to reclaim their technology... So the blade is actually a "psychic blade" - think Psylocke except it actually affects the physical world. The shield (yes I know its gonna be a b%*^h ) is also a manifestation of this ability (telekinesis). Forgot to mention - pouch on the right hip holds a sonic boomerang - man I loved this in BotP/G-Force! I am so looking forward to seeing this! Thanks in advance! Daz

Re: Crowd control overpowering game I've got a problem where one of my players has a flashbang - an area effect (hex) Flash vs both sight and hearing groups. Can kinda become a pain in the @$%#! as it is used almost every combat. I know I can give some villains extra sensory powers but not all are going to have these...any suggestions? Thx Daz

Re: Clix mod challenge What about Guardian? I'm in Aus so I may be able to help with the Geelong AFL goods (although you should be going for the Fremantle Dockers)...Let's see what the miniature is like! See the attached pic... (done in Hero Machine and then modified a little) Thanks Daz

Re: Props and your PCs So Storn....not to sound like a broken record but any chance of you posting this? By the sounds of it we would be eternally greatful!!! Pleadingly, on bended knee, with sugar on top? Daz

Re: The Worlds Largest... Destroyer Base? I like this idea!!! The only problem is how do you keep something like this from getting monotonous? i mean in a fantasy setting you can throw all varieties of creatures and magical effects at the characters but in a modern day supers setting how would you "spice it up"? Even the GC3000 Mechanon setting would get a bit "same-ish" fighting robots all the time... Daz

Re: Props and your PCs I agree! - I would LOVE to see this! Please? (Pleadingly Daz)
