Re: Thoughts on Shields

I'm going to assume this point is fairly accurate in that the shields given in Fantasy HERO are flat-bodied shields not designed for attacking with, and what I probably need to do is design a different shield which takes that hard metal bit in the center (anybody got a better name for it?) into account.

I believe it is called a "boss".

I'm making a character who has been trained by the city militia to fight with a Short Sword and Shield. He gets 2 levels with SS, OCV only, and 2 with Shield, again OCV.

He has a CV of say 3.

He wants to do a shield block and swing his SS. Do the two weapons penalties apply? Does he roll with a CV of 7? 3 base + 2 shield + 2 levels. While blocking I assume he doesn't get the 2 DCV for shield and cannot contribute to a shield wall. Can he receive benefits from the shield wall?

I realize I can house rule it, but I'd like to know the base before house rules.

Re: Keeping Healing in Check

How about:

Healing takes 1time unit (minute?) per point healed.

Healing drains end of the person healed on a 1 for one basis. The end loss is recovered at a rate of 1 point a day.

Re: Question about "DANGER SENSE DODGING"

So does anyone have a problem with this from a PC death point of view? The PC has lots of armour so goes toe-toe with a big heavy hitter. The big guy pushes because he is just nicking the hero. One good attack roll and one failed DS roll and the PC is toast.
