Re: How Would You Model This?

Okay, so I want to use Aid, limited to only be used on bladed weapons. How do I cost that out? Do I pay for the active points of a 0 end HKA?

AID is good' date=' as Chris says - but you may need to reduce the fade rate to make it last a whole fight.[/quote']

 

Thanks guys! I'm a noobie and a bit rusty at the same time. My Hero Fu is weak.

A spell that increase the damage of any bladed weapon it is cast on for the duration of a fight. It costs endurance from an endurance reserve to cast, but not to maintain or use once cast. It requires concentration, gestures, vocalization and a focus to cast, but not to maintain or use once cast. It takes extra time to cast, but not to use once cast.

I thought HKA was the way to go, but I think that would require endurance, concentration, gestures, etc. for each swing.

I thought using 3 pt. combat skill levels as a power might work, limited to only increase DC and cost endurance, but then it seems to be so much a better deal than HKA that I thought I must be missing something.

Any thoughts?

Re: Infinite Worlds

I remember looking through the Fringeworthy rulebook when it first came out long ago and thinking, how cool. How did that little ditty about the Mellor (sp?) go?

Re: Infinite Worlds

Sounds awesome! I'll try and make contact with you guys at KublaCon and discuss how Derek is translating the content.

Has anyone checked out this campaign setting for GURPS? It really caught my imagination and I am thinking of using it for a Hero System game.

What specific body parts correspond to each specific hit location number on 3d6?

I am going to use sectional defenses. I noted that the FH Historical Sectional Armor Weight Table indicated that location 3 was the face, because a Helm covered 4-5, Cap covered 5 and a Full Helmet covered 3-5. However, the DC Faceshield indicates the face is the front side of location 4. Am I reading these entries correctly?

Can you target the face or neck at the same -8 OCV penalty for targeting the head (locations 3-5)?

Re: Sectional Body Armor

Thanks, guys. Any further thoughts from anyone else?

I previously posted a similiar query in the Dark Champions forum. I posted it here in a modified and extended form for better visibility.

I am preparing to start a Dark Champions game and want to use sectional body armor. The Dark Champions book references the Activation roll, but does not reference the specific locations covered.

The main rulebook references specific locations covered associated with certain Activation rolls. 11- equates to a helmet without a face plate and a vest that does not cover the shoulders. 14- equates to a helmet with a face plate, jacket with sleeves (but no gloves), pants and armored boots (that somehow leave part of the leg exposed). Am I reading this right?

However, there appears to be a conflict between the main rulebook and the Dark Champions book, in that the main rulebook indicates hit location 3 is the face because a helmet without a face plate covers locations 4 and 5 and a full helmet covers locations 3, 4 and 5. In the Dark Champions book the gear indicates that a faceplate covers location 4 and a helmet covers locations 3 and 5.

Does anyone have a listing of sectional Dark Champions body armor by pieces with the locations covered and the mass of each piece, like was done for sectional armor in FH?

Thanks.
