Re: Killing Damage I also support this idea. Banishing the STUN damage lottery for Killing Attacks is definitely something I will do for more playability. At first I thought I might even decree that Normal Attacks do only STUN damage and that Killing Attacks do only BODY damage, but this is not the way it works in real life, since a blow to the head delivered to stun someone may well inflict a severe injury. So I suppose I'll go for this idea of 1 BODY per die...

Re: What books? Hi, everyone! I'm a new recruit, having been thoroughly disappointed by the fourth edition of GURPS. The new edition of the HERO system appeals to me essentially because of the Grimoires and creatures books which ease the GM's task considerably. So far I've purchased Sidekick on Amazon and Fantasy Battlegrounds and the Grimoires from my local store in France. Apparently they will receive a new copy of M, M & M shortly, but I haven't thought of asking them about Fantasy Hero itself. I haven't had much time to browse through M, M & M, but it seems to have quite a few humanoid races inside, with Dog-men replacing D&D Gnolls, for instance. I'll probably be able to see for myself next week... Congratulations for all those books (Sidekick, in particular, made me feel like becoming familiar with the HERO System while the big 5th edition basic rulebook discouraged me a bit). I don't know if I'll switch from my dear old GURPS 3rd edition to HERO for my campaigns, but I'll definitely collect the books.
