Re: HERO lost builds repository

Re: HERO lost builds repository Could be a browser peculiarity, or a result of my severe security settings (viewing pages how I want to view them, not how the page designer intended), but those wouldn't affect how they looked to other people? I'll try viewing some of my posts from other browsers, then when logged off, then with some of the links followed and others not, etcetera.

Re: Change the STUN Multiple Rule? There's a trick McCoy used to save us the subtraction when rolling our STUN multipliers; take the value on the dice, but a 6 counted as nothing. For a mere +1, this doesn't require much tweaking; just treat a 1 as 2, and everything else as it is.

Re: Alignment Issues

Re: HERO lost builds repository I think lime is default; the purple you see is a shade named Dark Orchid, my official color for Edited text. After ghost-angel mentioned some difficulty in link viewing, I experimented and found that a true purple was highly visible I will be adjusting the link colors though, and reorganizing them to put every build under one list per thread.

Searching through old threads, scrolling through new, I stumble across isolated builds for the strangest things. I think it would be neat to maintain a sort of "Link Central" for keeping track of all these. Examples: Build a Mundane Object in Hero System: Game Die Hero Dice now available in Online Store: Piton, Canteen (of water), Couch, Backpack, Pencil (wooden), Headphones, MP3 player (music device), iPod (cool), Notepad (pen or pencil not included), Baseball cap, Remote control (universal), Hands-free drink cap, Infant (conception), Knick knack, Diaper, Door, Stapler, Plunger, That Space Under The Door In A Bathroom Stall, Standing On The Toilet Seat, Pants, Tight pants, Oil lantern, Boots, Snow Shoes

Re: WWYCD - little girls and diplomatic troubles Mind reading that still needs to realize, after penetrating typical (but enhanced-strength) mental defenses and accumulating enough extra effect to reach the subconscious mind, that the very real mind it is reading is, in turn, controlled by a distributed cellular consciousness that is fully invisible to Mental Awareness and IPE for its powers. None of which, to be fair, you would know, since the exact builds haven't been posted yet. I'm working on a (semi-secret) annual HERO project that the Druid builds will draw upon (until then, the IDB should be built as extra ECV with IPE, its SFX* that the mentalist only thinks the Druid's mind was read), which is the main reason I hadn't gone back there to stat everything out the moment I finished reading 5ER *Whew! Alphabet soup, much?

Re: Here Comes Santa Claus?

Re: Alignment Issues I see a similar interpretation, but with less of an externalized twist: The character's Good/Evil position is located somewhere along the Law/Chaos axis; if Law reigns supreme, the character will follow the law over their own Good/Evil beliefs, but if Chaos usurps power, the character will ignore the law in pursuit of their Good/Evil beliefs. The question with Law and Chaos isn't, then, about others - it's about oneself. Alignment conflicts aren't resolved through pointing the finger at someone else. Characters can set up some other situation as the scapegoat for their decisions, but fundamentally - in order to make those decisions - they need to have some way of doing so that is innate to themselves.

Re: I may be overthinking this, but Do you think you're being clever? The options are mutually exclusive. Either indicate a single answer or admit that you don't see any difference between options which are, by definition, contradictory. Saying "yes" without replying to any particular option is essentially the appearance of answering, without an actual answer. If that's really what you want to do, ever, why waste anyone's time by putting forth such an empty illusion? If you really feel compelled to speak, admit "I don't know." or declare "I'm not going to answer that."; these, at least, openly divulge that no answer is forthcoming. Speaking in a way that may mislead people into thinking you've actually said something is harmful to a constructive process of communication.

Re: WWYCD - little girls and diplomatic troubles I'm aware that any of your characters can scan for mental influence, but all of them are fully telepathic too? Anyway, they must be seriously powerful if they can perceive Kaja's true motivations under a Druid's unusual mental defenses

Re: Mister Silent and Doctor DiscorD Whether the weak are good or evil, apparently. Otherwise, how would you have all those plotlines where the good guys receive a distress call from their nemesis, who wants to be rescued from an even stronger evil person? Nor are they always present at the same time. You said "if you want to put on a uniform and be a hero", but it didn't fill in the holes left over from classifying Mister Silent and Doctor DiscorD as "street performers"; they could be heroes in the sense you gave, but not want to put on a uniform.
