Hi,
I have never actually played Hero before, but I have Dark Champions and Hero Revised. I have read most of the rules, but I have a couple of questions.
The first one must seem very basic and silly to people who know the game more than me, but I'm still not sure on this. What do I roll when it says, for example, 4 1/2 D6? Do I roll 4d6 and divide by 2 or something?
The second question is a bit more complicated. Firearms in Hero are treated as a Ranged Killing Attack, right? But the maximum range of firearms, is that Active Cost times 5''? This seems a bit silly to me. Here is an axample:
Barrett Model 82A1, which fires .50 caliber rounds have an active cost of 79. This means that the maximum range of this weapon, in Hero, is 395'', which is 790 meters. Ehm.. wrong. This weapon can fire, and hit targets of up to 1800 meters. The Walther WA-2000 is 7.62mm, and has an Active Cost of 88, which means that this rifle has more range.
Am I overlooking something important here?
