Re: WWYCD 101:A question of faith

Re: WWYCD 101:A question of faith Self defense, or defense of a third party, which I would lump under "unofficial execution." For example, if someone was trying to kidnap a woman, and I had no other means of stopping the would-be kidnapper but my 9mm, well then, *BLAM*, one less kidnapper in this world. Franklin

Re: WWYCD 101:A question of faith I am absolutely CERTAIN that it is immoral to kill another human being, when that human being is not an active threat to myself or any other third party. That's why I specified two (and only two) exceptions to my original statement: Executing a condemned criminal (who has presumably demonstrated that they are and will continue to be a threat to innocent persons); and Acts of War. Again, neither of these cases apply to the scenario stated. Therefore, each and every heroic character I've ever played would unanimously oppose this sacrifice. (There WOULD be a "spirited" discussion, shall we say, amongst these characters on how to DISCOURAGE the villagers from ever trying to hold another such sacrifice...) Franklin

Re: WWYCD 101:A question of faith

Re: WWYCD 101:A question of faith First of all, to whomever said this sacrifice would not be murder, I request you look up the definition of murder in a dictionary. Murder is, by definition, the unsanctioned taking of the life of a human being in a premeditated manner. ("Sanctioned" in this case would refer to two cases: First, the lawful execution of a condemned criminal; Second, an act of war. NEITHER OF THESE APPLY to this specific situation!) Second, I cannot, for the life of me, think of any "hero" character of mine, PC or NPC, who would NOT interfere and rescue the victim (regardless of the victim's wishes). Being a hero means DOING THE RIGHT THING, REGARDLESS OF THE PERSONAL COST. (Now, the MANNER in which the rescue takes place, THAT would depend on the specific character in question...) Oy! Here endeth the sermon! Franklin

Re: Concepts you wish your players would play OK, fair 'nuff! Thanks! Franklin

Re: Concepts you wish your players would play Would this guy qualify as a "Legacy character"? (He's a hero from the 50s trapped in the present.) If not, then please elucidate what you consider to be a Legacy character. Thanks! Franklin

Re: any changes to Martial Arts maneuver construction in UMA (from 4E to 5E)?

Whereas UMA is (currently) out of print and thus unavailable, for those of us who have the "original" (4th Edition) version of UMA (and Ninja Hero), are there any changes to the methods and resultant costs of building "custom" martial arts maneuvers in the 5E version of UMA? And, if so, could these changes be made available from HERO Games/DOJ, in some (online?) format, at least until such time as UMA is once again available for purchase? (Please note that I am not asking for some third party to violate copyright law! I am specifically asking if Hero Games would be willing to provide this otherwise-unavailable material to prior customers. I'm not asking for illegal scans, "warez," or other violations of Hero Games'/DOJ's IP!) Thanks in advance! Franklin
