Re: Nature + Fire = What?

Pain? Eradication? Ash? Dust? Britney Spears?

Nah, she's not good enough for fire or death, maybe chaos to represent her state of mind.

Re: Nature + Fire = What?

So what's Fire+Death? That's gotta be pretty spectacularly nasty.

Rot, Plague and Disease, i'd wager.

Re: Nature + Fire = What?

Wow, I think I may have repped you for nothing. I thought you were making some play on the joke about Death and Taxes.

 

The eighth Primal Element is Death, people. It's Death.

I actually was making a play on death and taxes, it was later that I thought that divine might be separate from spirit. Who knows, though.

Re: Bow & Arrows separately.

Bah, nevermind, can't put the right limitations on deadly blow XD shoulda known

Re: One last hurdle with the Demon Armor

Easy way for sigs is that I take interesting quotes from board members. Avatar I made up Off-handed Spatula, thus found a pic of a spatula and shrank the crap out it so it could be an avatar.

Err... in any case, on the subject of the thread... umm... umm.......... I have no clue.

Umm... maybe some form of limitation somwhere... actually, if the demon armor is completely covering you then it would hit the demon armor, and if it doesn't move on it's own I'd say that it shares your DCV. Also, even if it doesn't cover your whole body you'd use the cover rules, assuming, again, that it doesn't move on it's own.

Re: Fantasy Hero

Still need to read Ultimate Brick that I got free from the online store...

DS9 FTW!!!

(stay capitalized, durn you!)

Re: Druidic Magic 3.5 Conversion to HERO

Yup yup yup, I don't surf around enough on these forums anymore to find repping stuff, so it's only a few people I wanna rep, usually. I've been trying to remember to rep people for amusing things more often lately, though, cause I usually don't remember, sadly.

It is really cool when I get repped, though, especially when it's from someone that I admire on these forums (Sean, Thia, KS, etc.). That makes it just extra special cause it means you did something that was of note to those people.

Re: Nature + Fire = What?

We have a very unauthorised poster at work (the Smokey people are quite uptight about the depiction of Smokey)' date=' it has an extremely angry looking Smokey and underneath it says put out your smokes or Smokey will crush your butt.[/quote']

 

But what about Smokey the Bugbear?

 

"Only YOU can prevent Forest Elves!"

 

Sorry, old thing your post reminded me of from DnD days.

Re: Nature + Fire = What?

Inquiring minds were right. The whole thing'll be posted down the road' date=' including all 36 combination elements.[/quote']

 

*blink blink*

 

Taxes are really one of your elements?

 

*blink blink*

 

and upon further thinking I had figured it would be divine (didn't put that originally cause for some reason i was thinkin Spirit=Divine, when really Spirit=Shaman, Nature=Druid, Magic=Mage, Divine=Priest).

Re: Double The Hero Excitement!

Hentai Hero?

 

 

 

 

 

*runs*

That would be a rather big announcement that would cause much discussion...

Re: Bow & Arrows separately.

Just thought of something, if there's precedence for Deadly Blow to not have to worry about advantage AP limits, then couldn't you build the bow with Deadly Blow (only arrows)? I'll have to fiddle with HD or something I suppose...

Re: Double The Hero Excitement!

Well, I sure as toast can't wait.

Hmm... Malazan HERO?

Secretly hired Thia to write Halo HERO?

Star Trek HERO (based off the upcoming movie)?

Buffy HERO?

HERO 5th Edition Interactive DVD!

More seriously, License of some sort seems likely to me for at least one of them, that's definitely big enough to warrant it's own big thing, most likely the second one devoted totally for it.

Other than that I dunno, let's get those dates here quickly, now!

Oh, on the H thing, might not be much of a hint as the title will most likely have HERO in it...

Re: Nature + Fire = What?

What is your 8 basic elements?

stef

Bump because inquiring minds want to know!

Re: Can Trigger do this?

Because DS only works if you grab someone or they hit you. It doesn't suddenly lash out at someone standing next to you for no apparent reason. I'm pretty sure that is what we are after

OUCH! Poor puddy tat...

Re: Fantasy Hero

Fantasy HERO Grimoires are good, but if you're just going to be using KS's spells then you probably don't need them immediately.

Now, a recomendation for a future purchase once you're more comfortable with the system: The Ultimate Skill. It expands greatly on skills, and I fully intend to use alot of it when I run a game. Ghost-Angel has a review about it somewhere. Anyways, like i said, just think about it in the future, you've got enough on your plate without worrying about a thick book o' skills!

Other than that, Ultimate Vehicle (and it's companion, which the name escapes me currently but it's a bunch of predone vehicles using TUV) would be useful if you have either alot of carriages, alot of boats, or both, as it contains advanced rules for vehicle creation and use.

If you want to give energy and magic types a little extra flavor, the Ultimate Energy Projector is good, though definitley not necessary.

Oh, for actually running the games, the Combat Handbook would be very nice, maybe even a few. That way when you have a combat related question several people can look it up, or several people can just have a book with sections pertinent to their characters bookmarked for ease of use. Character Creation Handbook could be useful, but not as big a deal in my oppinion since you're getting HERO designer (still need to look stuff up sometimes, tho, but only a big deal if you're doing multiple characters at once).

The Equipment guide is handy, but not a big deal.

Enchanted Items is rather neat, lots of cool goodies in there, and it is definitely good for getting ideas for magic items. Especially when you're starting out, lots of examples are very useful, gives you a better understanding of the toolkit nature of this system.

Anyways, i think i just ran through my library of HERO stuff that is pertinent to fantasy somehow that you're not already getting.

Oh, Ninja HERO's neat too XD

Re: Natoxia, Home-Brewed Game - Need expert advice (Long)

question, is there any kind of point savings with the magic system, since ec/mp/vp (I assume that's what PP meant was VP) are out, then divide real cost by 3 ala Turakian? If there isn't any I wouldn't expect any truly dedicated spellcasters as they just won't compare to the physical experts.

Re: Fantasy Hero

Get HERO Designer!

When I first started I was doing all my maths and stuff on paper with a calculator. Once I finally got HD (HERO Designer) and I input all the characters, there were almost ALWAYS discrepancies in the final point tallies, and I was triple checking my maths XD. It also helps you figure out how powers fit together since it generally won't let you do something you're not supposed to do.

Anyhoop, go to Killer Shrike's site, it is teh ub3r of the DnD conversions, especially if you want to use the dnd magic systems.

Re: Replacing Hexes with Squares

You don't do corner movement on hexes. They're arranged so that corner movement doesn't/can't happen. If a character wants to run in the direction of the hex's corner' date=' you count movement on the map as if he's running in a wavy line. If the small inaccuracies inherent in that system bother you, you'd be better off ditching grids and using a tape measure.[/quote']

 

to be honest, tape measure is starting to sound better to me, lol.

Re: HOw super is the atlanteen age?

personally, I can't wait

Re: Nature + Fire = What?

If life isn't one of the 8 basics, then yeah I'd definitely think that'd work well for the combo.

Life is growth, but also consider that disease is alive, thus wouldn't disease be under the provision of life? Bacteria as well.

Ooh, lemme quess on the elements:

Fire

Earth

Water

Air

Spirit

Nature

Magic

Taxes

Was that it?

Re: Druidic Magic 3.5 Conversion to HERO

I sure am racking up a tab for rep with you (and teh bunneh for his campaign posts).

Re: Understanding Drow Creation

I think a whole lotta stuff just got thown onto this players shoulders.

Personally, I think you should give your GM a poke on over to killershrike.com and he can try to figure that whole mess within a mess thing out himself. If he's keeping strictly with DnD it won't be too hard to answer, though "how" to represent it might be more difficult if he's a HERO noob.

Me? Lots of book learning but no practical experience. *sigh*

Re: [Campaign] The Fearless Monster Hunters

Fantabulous!

Re: Ranged Martial Arts and TK or Entangle

-snip-

In my campaigns, a character can use either Ranged or Hand to Hand MA with TK. However they have to buy a Weapon Element for each if they want to use it with both. (kinda like being able to use a Knife with Hand to Hand MA or the same knife thrown with ranged MA)

I do believe I can jive with this one, personally.
