Re: How do you become a Jedi

Re: Traveller HERO: end is approaching Other than the two core books, what is there to buy? A dozen, I say, good man, I'll take a dozen!!!

Re: 'En passant' extra attack I'd do it with a Trigger - kind of like the Riposte from UMA. (Actually, I'd like to see Riposte in 6E as a Trigger, instead of a Triggered Damage Shield.)

Re: Order of the Stick Looks like V's primary motivation is to find Haley; finding Roy is secondary.

Re: Order of the Stick V *NEEDS* to trance; (s)he's going insane! At the same time, it was a good reminder that, yes, the Order of the Stick is in fact trying to save the world. Although I'm not sure how interested V is in saving the world verses proving that his magic is powerful enough to complete the task of locating Haley and Roy. Which is a tribute to Rich's storytelling skills.

Re: Order of the Stick Ah, so I'm not the only one....

Re: Order of the Stick I guess Good won out over Chaotic there...

Re: Order of the Stick It amazes me how much Rich can get you to care about stick figures drawn in a webcomic... while still coming up with such zingers as, "Honey, my top speed is Waddle". ************* "Do you wanna play blocks?" "More than anything."

Re: Multiple Power Attacks: How much is too much? That change was supposed to have gone into 5ER, but was missed. It's a core rule. (Can't find the cite at the moment.)

Re: Guardian Angel Okay, I change my vote... I like SteveZilla's build.

Re: Haiku Hero Archon approaches Science-fiction convention Time to filk again

Re: Hilarious article about vigilantism! Repped. Also going to necro the Haiku thread with it...

Re: Spyder from V&V's Most Wanted Vol 1. (Last test post for a while)

Re: Guardian Angel Can the character also use Danger Sense himself, or is it only for whomever he is "looking out for"? If both can use it, I'd slap an Any One Mind Mind Link with a Limitation "Only For Danger Sense" (-1/2). Ten Real Points. If he can't use it himself, I'd hand-wave it as a wash. If either he can use it except when he's looking out for another, slap UBO +1/4 Advantage on it.

Re: Order of the Stick I like how both V and Belkar are... disheveled, shall we say?... by the Mark of Doom and lack of trancing.

Re: Spyder from V&V's Most Wanted Vol 1. (Last test post for a while) "You must spread Reputation around, yadda yadda..." Thanks for posting the V&V conversions! I've done some DNAgents conversions.

Re: Vulnerability: You HIT me / You HURT me What Vulcan said. Take both the +2 DCV and 25% Damage Reduction. Her opponents don't really want to hit her, so they don't hit as often nor as hard as they otherwise would...

I have poked around on the website and some of my 'usual suspect' web pages, but have been unable to find a Word / Excel or similar file for the 'Minion Control Sheet' found in the Hero System Resource Kit or a similar sheet designed for 5e. Anyone know where such a thing is available?

Re: How To Do This? The concept is an advanced VIPER combat robot. Whenever it acts, it can make two attacks instead of one, in any directions (HTH-HTH or HTH-Ranged, or Ranged-Ranged), at full effectiveness without any sort of penalty. Rapid Attack (HTH and Ranged) plus Rapid Fire or Sweep almost do what I want - the issues are (1) not being able to combine HTH and Ranged (although that doesn't bother me so much, I can see it as an easy houserule that if you buy Rapid Attack for both, you can combine them), (2) the 180 degree limitation on Rapid Fire, and (3) if the first attack misses, the second automatically misses. (I can counter the Full Phase requirement with Rapid Attack and 1/2 DCV with Limited DCV Skill Levels.) At this point I'm leaning towards a Trigger Naked Limitation for any Attack Power (+1/2 can define condition, +1/2 3+ conditions apply simultaneously, +1/2 automatic reset; a total of +1-1/2 Advantage). For purposes of running the scenario, I'm not worrying about it; "Here's what it does". But I am interested in how to make it rules-legal.

I want to stat out a robot that can make two independent attacks against two different characters (or the same character) on the same Phase as a Half-Phase Action. What is a rules-legal method of doing this? (I'm guessing some king of Trigger...).
