Hi everyone, new to the forum and, well, to the whole Hero/Champions games. I bought CN since I followed and played some of Ron’s rpgs. It’s a fascinating system, but a bit crunchier than i’m used to. Bonus points, english is not my native language and I’m an insecure person, so I accumulated a considerable list of newbish questions:
- What kind of “single, specific attack” is eligible for Find Weakness? Can my hero just stare long enough his target before striking the killing blow with his demonic katana? Would that be handled with a presence attack or with another mechanic?
- Move-by and move-through: can someone provide an example of these two maneuvers during a fight?
- Can powers be used at, well, lower power? For example, can my hero decide to fire his Blast using 1d6 instead of 4d6? Would that change how much endurance he consumes as well?
- Powers additions: do they increase the endurance cost of a power, or do they follow the same logic of advantages and limitations, as clarified by the errata thread?
- Can a single power have multiple additions? I would say yes, since they’re not showed in a bulleted list; some of them however seem mutually exclusive, hence my doubts
- Frameworks: I believe I got the elemental one, but I still have problems with the other two. For variable power pool: I understand the limit imposed by the pool and the 5 additional point control skill. What about the Control itself? I get that it’s half the Pool, but what’s its use?
- Multiform framework: I know it shouldn’t be so hard, but i can’t grasp the whole thing. Can someone provide an example for this one? Specifically, the use in battle and the difference between the “whole-pool trade-off” and the mix-and-match combo menu”.
Thanks!
