Hey, all-
After years of looking at the Hero system, I've finally decided to take the plunge. My copy of the the revised fifth edition book shows up tomorrow, so I've been working with Sidekick to get a feel for the system.
For me, the best way to learn a new system is by creating every character I can think of. Because of the mass of information involved with powers, my first character is straight-up Heroic. I happened to be watching a first season episode of Hercules: The Legendary Journeys and decided to stat up an Iolus-style character - a scrappy hot-head who can take a beating and always does right in the end.
I'm curious how the characterstic values I've chosen go towards that character conception... If anyone wouldn't mind helping out a 34-year-old Hero virgin here, any advice would be great:
12 STR
20 DEX
11 CON
11 BODY
10 INT
10 EGO
12 PRE
12 COM
5 PD (yes, I bought up 3 levels here)
2 ED
3 SPD
4 REC
22 END
33 STUN
Ambidexterity
Acrobatics 13-, Climbing 13-, CSL +1 OCV or DVC all HTH Combat attacks, CSL +1 OCV or DVC all Ranged Combat attacks, Concealment 11-, MA - Defensive Strike, MA - Leg Sweep, MA - Escape, MA - Martial Strike, MA - Martial Dodge, MA - Martial Kick, PS - Old Hunting Tricks 16-, Riding 13-, Shadowing 11-, Stealth 13-, Streetwise 11-, Survival 11-, Tracking 16-, WF - Common Missile Weapons
Code vs. Killing (Common, Total), Always tries to do what's right (Very Common, Moderate), Hot-Headed (Very Common, Moderate)
Thanks!
Matt
