Yeah it's rough. I don't usually post that often and it took me quite a while to get beyond incompent, right now I'm just trying to find anything I can offer an opinion on so I can make it up to skilled. It just doesn't feel right to use Dredd as an avatar and not be rated as at least skilled.

I'll phrase this as a question though I think I know the answer.

Will this particular forum "Hero System 5th Edition Rules Questions" work like to old one did, in that only Steve Long has permission to post replies?

Yeah, the pdf had kind of a weird effect. It opened alright but it took a while. Really ate the bandwidth.

Okay I get it now. It's ingenious and just the sort of thing that would slip past somebody like me.

Okay, I been looking around. The jump from "incompetent normal" to "standard normal" seems to happen at 30 posts. Since this is probaby the most posts I've ever put on any board ever, its gonna take a while.

As the title states this really isn't a "rules" question, but I don't really know where else to post this?

How many posts are required to raise your title past "incompetent normal"? It seems to require quite a few more that the temp boards did. While I'm on the topic, how many posts are required for the various levels?

What if my character wants to use this to compose a written message from scratch?

For instance I want to send a letter in Japanese to a person but nobody is speaking Japanese to me at the time and I do not have access to any written Japanese? Can I just sit down and decide to write a message in any common language as long as I make the INT-roll, or is two-way communication necessary?

Yes, I got the first post.

Actually I beat you by what was probably less than one minute.

I am definately going to use the Terran Empire as soon as I can get my hands on it. I won't use it wholesale but it will definately save the time and trouble of drawing up my new campaign from scratch.

The sheet looks really good. One question though, which side is up?

The description in FREd still leaves me unclear on this. Does Universal Translator allow a charater to write a language?

For instance if I cast a spell for Universal translator, I can understand and read Japanese (provided I make the INT roll), but can I speak and write Japanese as well?

I'm working on a new campaign set in the Dirty Pair universe. The character's will be trouble consultants for the 3WA. Has anybody done any work on write-ups for the pair, their ship or equipment.

I am interested in the Classic Anime stuff (aka The Original Dirty Pair). Being "old school" I never really liked the Adam Warren stuff as much.
