Re: Starcraft War Gear Yea, I did does yesterday's night but didn't get to post them, so there it is: A-13 Flash Grenade Launcher: Originally designed as a way to provide illumination to the battlefield, both the delivery system and the projectile have been modified to discharge a maximum burst in the visible white light as well as ultra-violet spectrum. A-13 Flash Grenade Launcher: Sight Group Flash 6d6 (30 Active Points); OAF (Launcher; -1), 2 clips of 6 Charges (Flash Grenade; -1/2), Real Weapon (-1/4), Can Be Missile Deflected (-1/4). Total Cost: 10; END Cost: [6]. Laser Nano-Surgery System: With the introduction of nano-conveyed anesthetic and attenuated laser technology, surgery has made amazing advancements. The death rate resulting from the emergency removal of foreign objects or alien viruses is at an all-time low, making such treatment in the field routine.

Re: My Star Wars Force Powers In Episode III they say that a Jedi think outward, about the people. The Sith think Inward, only of themselves.

Re: Berserker Rage Buildup Black Rose, Thats sounds good, I'll try it. Killer Shrike, I'm familiar with this site. I'll try and see if there is something there that I can use. Thank you both.

Re: Berserker Rage Buildup I didn't quite understand what you ment, can you try explaining it to me again? maybe with an example? Now, back to the Exalted Commander stuff, I didn't manage to put AoE on the MP because HD says that AoE can only be applied to powers that affect others. Even if I tryed to put Usable as Attack on the MP, it still diodn't let me use AoE. So, a Naked Modifier was me only option. The MP is: Exalted Commander: Multipower, 40-point reserve. and the NM is: Exalted Commander: Area Of Effect (up to 4" Radius; +1); Incantations (Requires Incantations throughout; -1/2) for up to 40 Active Points of Exalted Commander Slots (27 Active Points). Legal? Or should I add "Usable as Attack"?

Re: Berserker Rage Buildup I don't have Fantasy HERO, but this is a nice idea... I would work on that. Thanks for all of your replays, after I'll give it some thought, I'll post the edited power. Edit: Stupid me! I got the worng quote!

Re: Berserker Rage Buildup Now that we got this over with, can you guys have a look at some other powers? I think the first one is highly illegal... Exalted Commander: Multipower, 40-point reserve, all slots Usable Simultaneously (up to 8 people at once; +1) (80 Active Points); all slots Incantations (Requires Incantations throughout; -1/2). 1u- Army March: Running +3" (9" total) (6 Active Points); Incantations (Requires Incantations throughout; -1/2). 2u- Defensive Formation: +5 with DCV (25 Active Points); Incantations (Requires Incantations throughout; -1/2). 2u- War Song: Luck 5d6 (25 Active Points); Incantations (Requires Incantations throughout; -1/2). 3u- Offensive Formation: +5 with HTH Combat (25 Active Points); Incantations (Requires Incantations throughout; -1/2). 3u- Heroic Inspiration: +5 with All Combat (40 Active Points); Incantations (Requires Incantations throughout; -1/2).

Now it cost 8 END per phase, which I think is reasonable (the power should be strained for the user).

Re: Berserker Rage Buildup This is what I came up with: Berserker Rage: (Total: 150 Active Cost, 71 Real Cost) Physical Damage Reduction, 75% (40 Active Points); Side Effects, Side Effect occurs automatically whenever Power is used (Knocked Unconscious After The Rage Is Over; -1), Limited Power Only Work When Enraged (-1/2), Costs Endurance (-1/2) (Real Cost: 13) plus +5 with All Combat (40 Active Points); Costs Endurance (-1/2), Linked (Power Defense; -1/4) (Real Cost: 23) plus Knockback Resistance -10" (20 Active Points); Costs Endurance (-1/2), Linked (Damage Reduction; -1/2) (Real Cost: 10) plus +10 Mental Defense (12 points total) (10 Active Points); Costs Endurance (-1/2), Linked (Damage Reduction; -1/2) (Real Cost: 5) plus Power Defense (10 points) (10 Active Points); Costs Endurance (-1/2), Linked (Knockback Resistance; -1/2) (Real Cost: 5) plus Mental Damage Reduction, 50% (30 Active Points); Costs Endurance (-1/2), Linked (Damage Reduction; -1/2) (Real Cost: 15) I thought that if they are all linked I only need to bay "Only Work When Enraged" and "Knocked Unconscious After The Rage Is Over" for the first effect. I may have overdone it- the power cost 15 END for phase...

Re: Berserker Rage Buildup

Re: Monsters & Spells Review

I'm working on conversion of character from my home-system to HERO, and I need help with some powers buildup. Berserker Rage is supposed to be one power that gives the character extra defenses and attack power. i.e. You get Damage Resistance, Damage Reduction, Knockback Resistance, Mental Defense and Power Defense, along with +X CSL with attacks. Yes, this is very powerfull- but it also only on when the character is Enraged, in drains END every phase and have Side Effects- you are knocked unconscious after the rage is over. I tryed to built it with a compound power. with little success. Can the powers be Linked together? Idea, anyone?

Re: Help building a "Skirmish" power Sounds good, Just one thing: can CSL be divided between 2 action (damage and defense)? And if so, can I had a limitation for only using Skirmish for those action only?

I built a Conjurer character with the following VPP: 46 Wizardry: Variable Power Pool, 35 base + 11 control cost, all slots Power Can Draw END from Character or END Reserve (+1/4), Cosmic (+2) (90 Active Points);

Re: Help building a "presence" power I don't realy know if I did the Skirmish power correctly. This power supposed simulate a trained scout how get extra damage and defense while moving. It supposed to last until his next turn. The bonus is not accumulated- you get only +2 damage/defense bonus if you move at least half-move each turn. Any thoughts?

Re: Help building a "presence" power After reading some D&D to HERO conventions, I edited the character: changed the base to be 50+75, added 165 exp for 12 level character (from this table). I would post the fhinished version later.

Re: Help building a "presence" power Oh... Note to self: need to read to rules more carefully.

Re: Help building a "presence" power Sure, why not? Note that I converted this character from another system (d&d, but with my perspective) and its not a begining character but an experienced one. He started has an Elven Scout, later became a Kensai (weapon master) that infuse his Nodachi with mystical energies (the first one, Hyakuraiken, was lost and he build a new sword, Kyuseiretsu). Later, after he have been killed and resurrected, he choose to became a priest in the church that granted him that miracle. His not over yet, I still play him every week. ===== Ryuu Arashi Val Char Points Total Roll Notes 18 STR 8 18 13- HTH Damage 3 1/2d6 END [4] 16 DEX 18 20 13- OCV 7 DCV 7 14 CON 8 14 12- 13 BODY 6 13 12- 16 INT 6 16 12- PER Roll 12- 16 EGO 12 16 12- ECV: 5 14 PRE 4 74 24- PRE Attack: 14 1/2d6 11 COM 1 11 11- 5 PD 1 5/12 5/12 PD (0/7 rPD) 4 ED 1 4/11 4/11 ED (0/7 rED) 4 SPD 10 4 Phases: 3, 6, 9, 12 8 REC 2 8 28 END 0 28 29 STUN 0 29 9" Running 6 9" 2" Swimming 0 2" 3" Leaping 0 3 1/2" Total Characteristics Cost: 83 Cost Powers END Kensai Training 10 1) Ki Surge: Aid STR 2d6 (standard effect: 6 points) (20 Active Points); Costs Endurance (-1/2), Self Only (-1/2) 2 20 2) Ki Presence: +30 PRE (30 Active Points); Limited Power Only For PRE Attacks (-1/2) Priest Prayers 7 1) Turn Undead: +30 PRE (30 Active Points); Limited Power Power Only Works On Undead (-1), OIF (Holy Symbol; -1/2), Only When Serving The God's Purposes (-1/2), Extra Time (Extra Segment, -1/2), Nonpersistent (-1/4), Requires A Religion Skill Roll (Active Point penalty to Skill Roll is -1 per 20 Active Points; -1/4), Costs Endurance (Only Costs END to Activate; -1/4), Incantations (Prayer; -1/4) 3 13 2) Spell of Divine Healing: Healing BODY 4d6, Can Heal Limbs (45 Active Points); Extra Time (Extra Segment, -1/2), Increased Endurance Cost (x2 END; -1/2), Only When Serving The God's Purposes (-1/2), Requires A Religion Skill Roll (-1/2), Does Not Work On Some Damage One Type of Damage (Unhollowed) (-1/4), Incantations (Prayer; -1/4) 8 6 3) Shield of Faith: Armor (5 PD/5 ED), Hardened (+1/4) (19 Active Points); Extra Time (Extra Segment, -1/2), Only When Serving The God's Purposes (-1/2), Requires A Religion Skill Roll (-1/2), Costs Endurance (Only Costs END to Activate; -1/4), Incantations (Prayer; -1/4), Nonpersistent (-1/4) 2 Racial Abilities 3 1) Life Support (Longevity: 800 Years) 0 10 2) Low-Light Vision: Ultraviolet Perception (Sight Group), Discriminatory 0 12 3) +4 DEX Equipment Heavy Leather: Armor (2 PD/2 ED) (6 Active Points); Independent (-2), OIF Durable (-1/2), Real Armor (-1/4) 0 Kyuseiretsu: Killing Attack - Hand-To-Hand 4d6+1 (standard effect: 13 BODY, 26 STUN), Autofire (3 shots; +1/4), Armor Piercing (+1/2), Affects Desolidified Any form of Desolidification (+1/2), Double Knockback (+3/4), Reduced Endurance (0 END; +1) (260 Active Points); Independent (-2), OAF Expendable (Very Difficult to obtain new Focus; Magical Nodachi; -1 1/2), Required Hands Two-Handed (-1/2), STR Minimum 6-14 (-1/2), Real Weapon (-1/4) 0 Perks 4 Fringe Benefit: Priest, Right to Marry: Can perform the marriage ceremony Skills 3 Traveler 1 1) AK: Kara-Tur (2 Active Points) 11- 1 2) AK: The High Forest (2 Active Points) 11- Familiarities 0 1) Acting 8- 0 2) Concealment 8- 0 3) Deduction 8- 0 4) Paramedics (Healing) 8- 0 5) Persuasion 8- Languages 0 1) Language: Elven (idiomatic; literate) (5 Active Points) 4 2) Language: Common (completely fluent; literate) 3 3) Language: Sylvan (completely fluent) 2 4) Language: Orcish (fluent conversation) Trained Skills 12 1) Survival (Temperate/Subtropical, Tropical, Desert, Mountain) 14- 8 2) Weaponsmith (Swords And Daggers) 15- 7 3) Conversation 26- 7 4) Riding 15- 6 5) WF: Common Melee Weapons, Common Missile Weapons, Nodachi 3 6) PS: Priest 12- 3 7) Climbing 13- 3 8) Shadowing 12- 3 9) Stealth 13- 3 10) Breakfall 13- 3 11) +3 with any single attack with one specific weapon 3 12) Tracking 12- 2 13) Navigation (Land) 12- 2 14) KS: Geography 11- 2 15) TF: Camels, Carts & Carriages, Equines 2 16) KS: Religion 11- Total Powers & Skills Cost: 169 Total Cost: 251 100+ Disadvantages As Part of His Profession: 20 1) Distinctive Features: Ki Presence (Concealable; Extreme Reaction; Detectable By Virtually Everyone) 20 2) Social Limitation: Code of Conduct (Frequently, Severe) 15 3) Psychological Limitation: Bound By Duty (Common, Strong) 10 4) Social Limitation: Vow of Abstaining from Alcohol (Occasionally, Major) 5 Distinctive Features: Elf (Concealable; Noticed and Recognizable; Detectable By Commonly-Used Senses; Not Distinctive In Some Cultures) 0 Normal Characteristic Maxima Total Disadvantages Points: 70 Experience Earned: 81.

Re: Help building a "presence" power Never thought of that, it could work quite well. The only problem is that I wanted the character the be able to suppress his aura. And thats what I did: Distinctive Features: Ki Presence (Concealable; Extreme Reaction; Detectable By Virtually Everyone). Ki Presence: +30 PRE (30 Active Points); Limited Power Only For PRE Attacks (-1/2). I got 74 PRE in the end, 30 for ki, 30 for turn undead and 14 normal.

Re: Help building a "presence" power Ok, I got it. I baught Presence. Nice idea. Perhaps I'll compund it with the PRE.
