Ok. So to let you have context it is a blessing/spell bestoed by a god which will take exp to get so for a session they can work towards getting special powers from gods which are like this one shot one which will be packed for them at lower point value however they don't get points back. the other option they have is normal exp. this was helpfull and makes this much easier

inter-dimensional campaign with different ways to gain power
Lathner replied to Lathner's topic in HERO System Discussion
Ok so this means that the power gain needs to be balanced by lack of some other side effect. Now deciding how that works is a problem. The problem with the pay for items in the campaign I am thinking of running they don't really get to deiced on their start powers since they will be roll playing little old Joe from the street pulled into dimension x and given powers from a "Test" the goal will to be to get home by exploring different dimensions. The item gain and quests will allow them to make the character into what they wish it to be and I have plot points and the like to give them. Now the problem is should I put value on these by using a xp/cash/or,Resource system to balance and keep them from getting op compared to the others playing -

Well the group has some very useful skills in real life and I will be adding in use of said skills into the game and we tried the no sheet thing with a different gm and the skills and traits were all based no what little the gm knew with the sheet we have a group standard plus they are going to get some major leway from me since even the most open minded person can miss there problems and the sheet will only have skills and stats and no disadvantages written in they just have to act their self -

Taking real people and inserting them into game
Lathner replied to Lathner's topic in HERO System Discussion
OK so I already plan on giving them dome points via a training/magical experience However it is possible to make the base of the characters with real life stats in found a way to find run and swim for converting I also found kinda a way to find speed and skills is going to be no where close to game level. As in "you've shother a gun of that type like four times sure take wf." -

Lathner replied to Lathner's topic in HERO System Discussion
This will be a heroic. I already had a figured stat test for STR I choose to just give a value for EGO . DEX is being done in a stack. already have something for CON. BODYshould be easy com is also easy INT is trouble some as is PRE. however I havn't been able to make a smooth change for either speed or run or other such stats since we do have some athlete's in the group -
So I have been thinking of running a game using the people in its actual stats so their real ability to pick things up movement and other such things and I was trying to figure out the best way to test ability to then convert over. Stats I have figured out how to convert
