I thought knockback did 1d6 per hex if you hit something, and 1d6 per 2 hexes if you hit the ground or a less solid object. Correct me if I'm wrong?

Thanks guys- I'm the player that DJ is talking about in the first post. I was satisfied with the solution he came up with. I'll let you know how it goes in the next session.

The PCs ended up surprisingly surviving, although most of them got knocked unconscious during the fight.

I ended up letting players purchase their weapons upgrades for $1,000 per 1 real equipment point. It seems to have worked out rather well- inflating the weapons costs simulated the additional effect of lifestyle costs as well.

Hello everyone, I know the MHI book gives a list of PUFF bounties per monster, but I was wondering when the players get the cash- what could they spend it on? How would you calculate expenses like lifestyle, rent, etc? And how much should weapons cost? Drones, ammo, vehicles, buildings, etc? Let me know how you resolved this dilemma in the past.

Good to know, thank you!

I plan on running "Death of a Fixer." The PCs are freelancers hired by a mysterious party to provide security for a gathering at a bar. They discover that the gathering is a group of fixers who are haggling over the data and possessions of a recently deceased fixer- which happens to include a lot of valuable and compromising information. Predictably, they have to contend with some party crashers sent by some parties that want the information seized or destroyed, as well as the fact some fixers are willing to use any means necessary to get what they want.

That might work. Thank you!

Hello everyone, I just wanted to see how people would build a commercial surveillance drone. One of the PCs wants to make one that can also deliver explosive bombs. How should I go about building it? Should it be a vehicle or a focus? If any of you have built one in the past, let me know how you built it.

Hello everyone, I borrowed a friend's copy of Michael Surbrook's awesome Anime-Cyberpunk campaign setting Kazei 5. I'm thinking of running a campaign in that setting, but I do need ideas for adventurers and characters. Has anyone else run or played in campaigns in the setting? Please let me know, Grandmaster GM

Hello everyone, Did anyone make xenomorphs, yautja and colonial marines for HERO System? I would love to run an Alien vs Predator game, run like the way I imagined the movie to be instead of the horrifically lame movies from 2004 and 2007. I would also like to see Ellen Riley and Dutch team up, so if anyone ever stated them out- that would be a big help! Let me know, Grandmaster GM

How's this version for 6e: Chad.hdc

How doesn't it work?

Hey guys, Does anyone have MHI character sheet pdfs or export templates for hero designer? I would like to convert my MHI pcs into the proper format, as the standard pdfs don't include things like encumbrance. Please let me know.

Hello everyone, I inspired my good friend Pat Ransom to run a HERO/Champions game adapting the Necessary Evil storyline for the Marvel Universe, with the Kree replacing the V'Sori. I'm thinking of playing Spider-Venom, which will be Peter Parker but with the Venom symbiote. Basically, the Kree wiped out his entire supporting cast (well, save most of his rogues gallery and J. Jonah Jameson, the latter of whom is now a propagandist for the Kree)- and Eddie Brock sacrificed himself to save Parker. He goes by Venom, pretending that Spider-Man is dead and has given into the symbiote, although he is haunted by memories of his old life as a hero. Please go ahead and build him (as I'm not quite sure how to build him), let's say 425 +100 pts of matching complications for a total of 500. I look forward to seeing what you guys all come up with.

Did you stat out any of the characters from the books?

It's a shame those folks have never been statted out- save for Samhain and Cateran in the Villains books, and the London Watch in Kingdom of Champions (although their designs are a wee bit dated). Someone really should take the initiative and do so.

So how do you balance out weapons? I'm working on my own game now and I want to figure out why heroes would want to wield pistols instead of tommy guns or rifles? Did you give the Grimnoir a particular template?

I did a conversion of the book a while back, but I lost all of the characters. If anyone wants to work with me on updating it, I would love to do so. I saw that they suggested further heroes and villains in the Champions Universe books.

Interesting. There are differences in backstory and design, but yeah they're rather similar. I had a hard drive crash recently so I'm borrowing my friend's computer to finish the conversions.

You could go with Walkiria for a code-name.
