Gauntlet

I usually have done it as simply a limitation, "For Stunning Only, Target Takes no Actual STUN Damage, -1/2".

I remember a S.T.U.P.I.D. campaign that had the following quote: "Do you mind if I eat your face? I will leave the rest of you the same, and plus, your face is not exactly your best part."

Would love to hear what is the best quote either your character or villain has ever said in a game.

Strange, I have seen it from several items on the DriveThruRPG website, but never on Hero Games website.

But which online stores did you purchase it from, the Hero Games website or the DriveThruRPG website?

I agree it is being overcomplicated but would have to say that it is a Side Effect limitation to the power and not a Complication.

Not completely, but I have found that even if taken to a completely different campaign they have a tendency to be more powerful then one created on the fly. This is because while some of their XP spent may be based on the campaign, many of them are just how they see combat in general which can assist them across the board. Now is this all the time, no as the character can be over focused on the current campaign, but that many times is not the case and the character is better created with XP in general then created on the fly.

One thing I do have to say though is that characters that start out as low powered end up much more powerful than ones that start out as high powered. I am pretty sure this is because they are spending points on their character based on what has happened and not just guessing what they want.

I will have to admit, I did forget to state that the Shrinking Spell did need to have an activation roll, or in my games case required a Magic Roll with a penalty based on the points for the spell.

Having Extra Dimensional Movement as a side effect does not cost points, as it is a limitation it lowers point cost. It would only cost points if you could do it based on the character's own decision, not when it happens due to a limitation. I am also not sure how it would be confusing. Sorry, I did miss one thing. You would need the spell to require a magic roll or otherwise you would always be going to another dimension.

I have a character in my FH game that who has a transformation attack that changes the target down to 1" in size and equivalent characteristics (STR & BODY being the two main ones). If the character fails her magic roll then it turns everyone around her into sub-atomic size (or would it be better to call it sub-dimensional in size), which is setup as AE Extra Dimensional Movement. I would say that if you are stating that something is turning someone so small they are sub-dimensional in size then Extra Dimensional Movement would be the way to go. You could even make it into a sub-adventure where they have to figure out how to grow back so they can come back to the standard size reality. In my game the characters had to team up with the villains in order to figure out how to return their standard sized dimension.

That was a Great Game, you should run it again.

And that pretty much is the same for all versions of Hero. Technically, as long as you are not worried about point values and worths, you can have a character made from 1st edition play in a 6th edition game.

Problem I have found with multiform is skill, knowledge, and even disadvantage wise have a tendency to not be the same. Now if you were like the Hulk or a Werewolf who are completely different people when changing multiform is the best way. But when someone has the ability to take another shape with some abilities but still has all of the exact same personality and skills then shapeshift with linked powers may work much better (and require less work from the G.M.).

I ran one game where Dark Seraph took on another form and created a school for those with magic talents. There he actually taught them magic as he needed a sacrifice for his future plans of 12 actual wizards. One of the characters in my game who had magic talents actually left the team and joined this school and learned magic. And at first she actually defended the school from the other player characters as she was actually learning magic (and spending points for it). But later learned that there was something strange about their teacher and allowed one of the other player characters secretly into the school (which was on another small magically created dimension) to investigate. They of course found the area where the planned sacrifice was going to take place and that Dark Saraph was their instructor. After running around and fighting a bit with the school's secret magical defenses they were able to find an entrance and allow the other members of their team to get into the dimension to prove to the other students what was going on (which was not easy as they definitely were learning real magic) and then with the assistance of the students fight Dark Saraph.

I definitely would be interested. Would it be adventure based or horror based?

You should also check with one of your players to see if one of them might be interested in having their character be infected by one of the Larva.

Definitely have to agree with you, there even have been studies that if we have a complete nuclear war where everyone uses every nuclear weapon while humankind will end, life will not, and it will continue to grow. Did the characters have to fight their way out of it or think their way out of it?

How so? Not sure what you mean.

Had a villain once that had the ability to completely alter reality. He decided that the world was too bad a place and decided to transfer everything into cartoons. He managed to turn most of the city into cartoons including half the characters. Players actually enjoyed it as it was a rather serious and dangerous campaign, but when turned into a cartoon you couldn't die or kill anyone.

On oddball powers like that I usually state that whether they are HTH or Ranges has to be determined when power is purchased and be based on the special effect. Should you have to touch the target to make the attack then most likely it would have to be HTH. If you can do it without touching them, even if it has a 1 hex maximum range, it is Ranged. I even have one character who is a mentalist but has to touch his target; I have a limitation on this stating that he has to make two attack rolls, HTH and Mental, for the attack to hit the target (1/2 Limitation).

What items did you purchase??? And did you purchase them through this website or through the DriveThruRPG site?

Another way you could do complete total darkness is an area effect transform. It would transform the people that are in the AE to have absolutely no senses. It would be 15 per dice but would still not necessarily be any more expensive then trying to do darkness and listing every sense. Of course you would want it as AE and probably both personal immunity as well as 0 END as well but could also have the limitation stating that the transform is only as long as the targets are in the AE.

DAMN, I WANT ONE OF THESE!!!!!

There is nothing out there that can give you a better night's sleep. And the bigger the spider the more protein.
