Re: Alternate System: Size Stat yeah...the numbers don' add up... seems a tad broken

Re: Peter Petrelli - How can it be done? He doesn't have to observe it in use... when sylar beats him down..he heals without having ever seen claire do it

Re: Hero Miniatures battles.... Yeah... that was one of the problems we encountered... I have a 8x4 table with the terrain... that first shot was at one end of the table to the other...LOL we were thinking of limiting range based on "the fog of war" a battlefield QUICKLY becomes smokey and hard to see... as for the "unrealistic" range rules in most minis games...I wouldn't say they are so truly unrealistic... I believe they don't explain themselves properly, and as such don't have the right FX... I mean... In texas, two men break into a bank with some body armor... and police well within the range depicted by minis games and scored no hits. I believe the rule has nothing to do with the weapons themselves, but the adrenal response of the body. which reduces the inherent accuracy of even the most elite trained individuals..

We looked at the rules for the Miniatures games we were playing and lightning struck... why not use the hero system for miniatures combat... as in large scale army movements, etc... we learned a couple lessons... 1) AOE is a mistake on the field of combat... we spent 25 minutes setting up (used a modified VOID deployment scheme) first shot- a relatively powerful aoe attack... landed perfectly... and obliterated his forces to the man. We just stood there fro a good minute with our jaws unhinged... and then burst into fits of uncontrolled laughter... 2) high movement rates were just as silly... I built an elite unite that just destroyed his front lines before he got a chancec to twitch... We am not smart... soo we look to you guys... anyone wanna try to help put together a hero minis setup?

Re: Unofficial Welcome Mat (For New Members) A little from column a... a little from column b... I was working on a a space opera setting... the local gaming shop owner handed me a copy and I was hooked... I know Dr. Anomaly in Real life...

Re: New Bargin Deal!!! That is an awesome deal... is it still up ?

Re: GM style Question I'll be honest... I have done it... a couple times... once... was the best gaming experience of my life... but we were a tight knit group... did much more than game together... the other two times... were hell... it is all dependent on the type of players and gm...

Re: Pimp My Automaton Ummm... would clairsentience work for the computer interface? and what if, just an idea, he wanted it to be able to open doors, or shoot a gun? I mean, I dunno if that's the plan, but if he wants to interact with the world... it seems to me something other than clairsentience would be in order

Re: playing online Ironically enough... there are some people that ARE immune... I am kind of fond of the fact that I can both play RPGs and WOW... *grins* I even graduated college with a level 60 shamman...lol

Re: Battlesuit build. We've done both methods in my Star hero space opera... There were some that were built as vehicles... those were ...not so much generic, but like small mecha (think glitter boy from rifts) and then we've done a couple as foci (think iron man... from iron man...) as a player I prefer the the OIF powersuit over the vehicle, but the vehicle can be a great deal more powerful with the 1/5 ratio on points For the remote... I'd use mind link

Re: Custom Powers I have to say..I love the concept of FX... that is what first drew me to the system... the fact that while the mechanics are the same... the pwoers ARE NOT the same...

Re: HERO Combat - I love the options Thia: tristat is flexible...but at it's core, it is hero with set effect on every ability... was fun, easy... but I like the ability to do simple or NIT PICKERS ways on everything in hero... better to go to the source, really

Re: Original Artwork: Grindstone I wish I could draw..I have some npcs I wish I could depict

Re: Need help with Enhanced Senses and Megascale radar doesn't work well at long ranges in space? explain that to me please... I mean... less atmospheric scatter, signals go on forever until they are reflected... unless I am missing something...

Re: Dispelling Fires here's the question... are you working with realistic fires (a, b, and c type extinguisher) and how big a bucket? if you want similar, I'd run 1-2d6 dispel fire

Re: Computer Memory? I have used a dead cat as a focus, but not for detect...

Re: And this is my special eff... er, I mean, my Sidekick. I like the line of thought, but sean has some good points...I personally would buy a follower

Re: Capital Class Weapons & Armor [HERO: Combat Evolved] I personally used a house rule for personal weapons, mounted, ship board and capital class weapons... going up the scale, personal weaponry (rifles and such) cannot harm combat ready vehicles (apc's and tanks) unless specially designed for it (such as a rocket launcher like the at4... a standard fighter would be fairly useless against a capital ship unless it had weapons specially designed for the purpose (as depicted in wing commander...) coming back down the scale, each step is an exponential increase in damage... capital to space craft x2 damage space craft to small craft x2 damage small craft to human x2damage sooo... if a capital ship managed to hit a person.. it does x8 damage..and a tank would do x2 against the same man... it was just something that we came up with... but it seems fairly close to what I have experienced in halo...

Re: Ego vs EB (BOECV) LOL... indirect ego attack... "I thought I heard something" (faint bomblike whistling as it descends) "No I mean it! you guys hear that?"
