Thank you very much for the info.

How is Reputation determined and what does it mean?

Okay People. We need to make Hero GREAT AGAIN. I want each and every one of you to go out this week and get at least three new players for the game, especially with the younger generation.
 
And NO EXCUSES!
 
I mean if D&D 5.0 can do it (and that game sucks) then we can do it, so get to work!🤑

Had a GM once run a Fantasy Hero game where we all were slaves in the arena. All the game was just fighting in the pit, nothing else. Not even any chances to escape and absolutely no option to roleplay at all either.

I sucked majorly, but that's what the GM wanted to run and at the time there were no other GMs. But even that didn't stop most of us from quitting his game and deciding it was better not to play at all then play in his games.

I have found that Fantasy Hero character's (especially in high magic campaigns) have a tendency to become much tougher than Superhero character's do as the campaigns go on.
 

In my game, there is no cost divisor, but what I have found to be the biggest advantages are hit locations and equipment.
 
Hit locations allow an FH character to be able to really do addition damage without having to roll it. For example, call shot head, there is a penalty to hit but if you do you get to have a STUN Multiplier of x5 and do double BODY Damage.
 
As for equipment, it's free for a Fantasy Hero character but not for a superheroic character, and that adds a lot of free points for the FH character, especially if magical items are involved.

I don't see a problem, I just thought it was interesting and wanted to start a conversation about it.

So you would be okay if I said your stat maximums were as follows while everyone else's was normal?
 
STR Max: 5
STR Max: 5
DEX Max: 5
CON Max: 5
INT Max: 5
EGO Max: 5
PRE Max: 5
OCV Max: 2
DCV Max: 2
OMCV Max: 2
DMCV Max: 2
SPEED Max: 2
PD Max: 2
ED Max: 2
REC Max: 2
END Max: 5
BODY Max: 5
STUN Max: 5

Any characteristic bought over these maximums are at double cost.

Not quite sure of that. Pretty much every FH character I have played has had at least 20 points in skills (not including WF or Skill Levels). While I will say in Pathfinder or D&D skills aren't that large in number (unless you play a thief in Pathfinder) but in Hero they are utilized much more, even fighters in Hero many times have a number of skills. In fact I have found it the other way around. Most Superhero games are all powers and no skills at all, with the exception of gadgeteers.
 
Of course I guess it depends on your GM. I have always had mystery in my FH games as have the GMs I have played with.

Hell, every game has glitches and even with any little glitches it might have, Hero is still the best game out there.

Damn, I really started an argument!!!!!

It's a fascinating thought -- seeing how each side would react to the other's latest tactic. Sort of like ECM, then ECCM, then ECCCM, ad infinitum.   I'm tempted to try to build a Fantasy setting with magic developed to this extent -- individual "styles" and what have you of combat spellcasting in an effort to maximize your impact and minimize your enemy's. Either that, or maybe work it into my Chaos Blades setting, which is already heavily focused on certain types of combat magic.
 
In any event, you're certainly making me think, so take 2 XP out of petty cash as your reward.
