Re: Older HERO rules in 5E games Wow, is that off! You're right, it means upset, angry, P.O.'ed. They're right it comes from "heated up"; like "hot under the collar," "steamed up," "mad enough to boil eggs on his head," and like that.

Re: STUN, not END, for fuel

Re: STUN, not END, for fuel First up, I want to apologize (esp. to casualplayer) for being a little snippy. This week went right inthe cesspit, and I let things get on top of me. Sorry. That's true. Still, that ups the "fueling" to 3 per 10 Active in the Power, way over 1 END per 10 Active. Also, I'm planning it for a power that's used real rare, so I don't think a Sus. is fair. Thanks, tho'.

Re: Accidental Hero ID I want to apologize for being a little snippy. This week went right inthe cesspit, and I let things get on top of me. Sorry. I, personally, only got Fred and Champions, but I'm gonna get Metamorph. My GM and some fellow players let me look over their books, but I don't wanna try plowing thru them all to find stuff; they aren't happy about lending out their books. That's why I asked for citations; I wanna go straight to the right page. What I'm looking for is published characters with Accidental Change that turns on/off OIHID powers. If not published, is there any online? I hope that answers your questions.

Re: Aging kids Ooops! Should a read the thread to the end. OK, so you do get to sell of the Char's that are above the kid's Nor. Char. Max. for points, and then spend double to raise them back to 10 (or anywhere else). Thanks everybody for helping me out.

Re: Aging kids Been there, done that. It's OK, no harm done. I get the math for this part, it's the lowering from 10 to the kid's Nor. Char. Max. that I'm confused by. Do you get points for selling back or not? BTW: Kid Norcharmax! Righter of wrongs, doer of stuff!

Re: STUN, not END, for fuel I emphasized the problem. Like I already said, it's random. You don't roll dice to find out how much END your power has to be fueled by, and I'm trying to replace END with STUN, acting just the same all around, for this one power. That's why I tried to let you down easy in my last post. Cause you're way off on it with this idea. It'd work for a different kind of power, but it just don't do what I was after. Anyway, Me and my GM have gone for a "Limited Power Limitation" (better known as a Lim-Lim). Thanks to everyone that helped!

Re: Aging kids Sociotard, DustAngel---I hate to sound like a teacher, but could you both please "show your work"? Cause I ain't getting the same answer as neither of you. Please?

Re: Accidental Hero ID Unfortunately, I don't have Galactic Champions, Champions Worldwide, CKC, or Shades of Black. Anybody else know any character with Accidental Change and OIHID? Please? Um, I don't wanna be rude or something, but could we not get all lost off in what OIHID is for, or other things you can Accidental Change? Please? I'd appreciate it.

Re: Comics "Ages" sound bites What about the Stone Age, the Copper Age, the Machine Age,... Whoopsy! Sorry, think I was channeling an anthropologist there for a sec. :snicker: :snicker:

Re: Comics "Ages" sound bites Whoa there! I'm not sure I want to think about that. :eek: :eek:

Re: Character Idea: A "Transformer" in Champions I think Metamorph has got this covered.

Howdy. I'm trying to understand the Disad "Age" when you're using "10-". I ain't planning no kid characters, it's just something that confuses me. The "Small Child" on page 223 ain't a help; it's just sold down all it's stats. What I'm trying to figure is what happens for example if you leave all the primary stats at 10. How'd you figure the cost? My only guess is you gotta sell down STR, CON, BODY, EGO, and PRE to the amounts on the chart, then buy 'em back up to 10, at double cost. Have I got it right? Or you pay nothing cause you ain't changed the stats? :confused: :confused:

Howdy. I'm reading over the description of Accidental Change, and I'm guessing it'll change over someone with a bunch of stuff with OIHID. But it don't say so direct, and I'm thinking I could just maybe be wrong here. (It's happened before ). So I'm asking: is there any written up character with Acc. Change that flips on (or off!) her OIHID powers? A citation would be soooo 'preciated. Oh, if someone posts one, the rest of you all can go ahead and post other cites. Just in case I don't got the book the first (second, third, etc.) cite is in.

Re: How Limiting? Wow! Didn't think it'd be this complicated. OK, here's more info. This character wouldn't be able to use a power with this Lim in her own Change Envir. That's clearly no Lim at all. Don't expect nobody else with Change Envir. on the team. Don't know how fast the seasons will pass. It counts as snowing if there's snow falling, but only if it's real snow. No manufactured stuff. I'm not gonna be the GM. I'll be talking to my GM, but I wanted some idea what to put down as my suggestion (which she'll change if she thinks it's needed); I wanted something realistic so's she's not likely to change it. Cause she changes it, I gotta rewrite the whole sheet. I mean, I will she says so, but I'd druther not if I can avoid. That's why I asked about what folks thought it was worth. Let me rephrase a mite. If you were GM and you didn't want to make it snow/not snow unrealistically, what would you peg those Lims at?

Re: STUN, not END, for fuel 'Cept Sus. is random, and doesn't increase/decrease when the char. uses more/less of the Power. Not really modeling the way END works normally. Thanks for trying, tho'!

Re: It stays that way Like it? Heck, she's gone use it for the next PC she gets to play!

Re: Water Desol & 'Lectricity

Re: Older HERO rules in 5E games Then you and my GM are gonna hafta agree to disagree. Better; I won't tell her, so's she won't d/l your avatar for a dartboard. Me, I don't get all het up about it, but I'm glad they're gone. I just don't see the point, unless to make people drop a lot of points on every power. Makes 'em have too few powers to fill out some concepts, seems to me. You might see it different.

Re: How to have long combats I think that that is the standard method, and this thread's about alternate methods.

Re: Help Creating power! OOooo! I'm so gonna use some of these for my own water/Desol character! Thanks!

Re: New Advantage: Disorienting Horrendous to figure the cost, or to be hit by? Or both?

Re: Older HERO rules in 5E games This one makes my GM foul-mouthed! She hates the whole idea of minimums, and says tossig them was in the top 5 Best Changes In Fred. Yeah, my GM went back to that; simpler than the required Lim and all that guff. Don't know, but my GM allows it.
