Re: Combat Armor that requires having a skill. Are the characters paying points for this armor or is it equipment. I can't quote, don't have my book in front of me, but, if the characters purchase the piece of equipment with points they are automatically skilled in its use. If it is equipment, who cares if it is a -1/2, -1/4, or even -0...as long as it is balanced in the game. When I am building equipment for characters to use (usually in low-powered fantasy games) I often lay out what it abilities are and make sure it is balanced with the game and if something is rather "who cares" about whether or not it needs a skill or not, then I won't assign it a value. I don't want you to get discouraged or anything and you should always make sure that what you are using is balanced, but something as trivial as needing a skill to use is..well...trivial in this instance and should just be your call as a GM. If it is equipment, the I agree that is should use TF as just armor, but can also use other skills if you add in radar, radio, etc.

Re: Converting Skyrim to Fantasy Hero ... any thoughts? I have found this website to be very helpful: http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Skyrim and http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Skyrim#Character_Information

Re: aggrovated over flash/Blindness And it is a game, the characters are supposed to be the hero's in HERO...give it to them.

Re: sword of truth hero I recall the Mord-Sith in the books needing to be ready to "take" their victim's magic. It is not a triggered event.

Re: sword of truth hero This was true in the books as well. Even Zed was worried for him until he turned the sword white which basically broke the curse.

Re: sword of truth hero I have never seen anything, but I am SOOOOO glad you referenced the books instead of the horrible television version. I would love to see write-ups for some of the powers and how someone would build the Seekers sword.

Re: How to Build: Read Ancient Ruins / Writings I agree with Binnister, buy it as a Detect power for Ancient Ruins and Writings. It is up to you for END and other such.

Re: Dr. Who Questions I think I remember the episode when the Tardis was taken over by an outside entity that The Doctor had stated each incarnation gets its own controls and they are all on the TARDIS somewhere...been a bit since I've seen it though so could be wrong about the episode.

Re: Alphas: Champions or DC:TAS? I am not completely sold on the series yet. I can see great potential and could definitely see a game being made out of it. I also don't split up my gaming material...it's all good. :-)

Re: Cybernetics and Bioengineering: what are YOUR limits? I am up for almost anything as long as I still appear completely human and normal. Augment strength, enhanced hearing, artificial organs, whatever! Bioware will obviously be the way I would have to go...

Re: Paladin's Horse I have rarely seen the real horse used either because it quickly gets to be something the Paladin needs to protect because it is so weak!
