Hi all, Does anyone have a good quality PDF of the Champions 4th Edition Character Sheet with image? Thank you.

Hi, Learning HERO again for a superhero campaign (after not really playing since 3rd Edition), and figured the best way to do so was to build a character using the Superhero Gallery information in the back of the Champions 6E hardback. I have figured out the math for how the points are added up with the Characteristics and the OIF limitation of the Power Armor, but I was wondering if the math was off in the 'notes' for two of the Characteristics in the yellow Powered Armor box on P.274. For Strength of 20, it shows a Lift of 3,200 kg, and 6D6 HTH damage with a 3 END cost. 20 STR 7* 15- Lift 3,200 kg; 6d6 HTH damage [3] According to the Strength table on P.43 of the HERO 6E Vol I book, wouldn't the lift for a STR 20 be 400kg, and the HTH damage4D6 with a 2 END cost? For the Presence shown in the same yellow box, it notes the Presence of 20 has a PRE Attack score of 3D6. 20 PRE 7* 12- PRE Attack: 3d6 On P.135 of the HERO 6E Vol II book, it states that the Presence Attack should be 1D6 for every 5 points of Presence. Wouldn't the 20 PRE of this base armor mean the PRE Attack should be 4D6? Am I missing something about how Power Armor modifies Characteristics, or is my math off? Thanks in advance!

That's pretty much how we played it. In that case, the Accelerate/Decelerate Advantage would really only apply to long-distance noncombat leaps, correct?

Thanks Hyper-Man, The question that came up in our game is if a character leaps 10" in a phase, and then at the start of the next phase, decides to decelerate to zero - would he still be compelled to move 1 hex per 5" of deceleration (2 total hexes to decelerate from 10" to 0") in the direction of his velocity? Assuming no acceleration/deceleration advantage.

Do the rules for acceleration and deceleration apply to the Leaping power?

PM sent. Thanks Ndeare.

I've been trying to get ahold of the book for quite a while with no luck. Found a reasonably priced one on eBay that was damaged, but missed the auction. I don't mind paying a decent amount for it, just not ridiculous. Self printing is way too expensive as well. I really wish there would be a reprint. I understand that Champions Complete took the place of the main books, and I have it, but the main books are great looking, and I prefer those.

Hi Hugh, In looking in the store, I am only seeing sold out for the Character book/pdf bundle with damaged cover? I really wish I had gotten a copy of it when it was available because I'm not a PDF fan. I have Champions Complete, but prefer the other book.

Are there any plans for a future reprint of this book? I know there are PDF print on demand options, but to get the book in color is a bit pricey. Thanks.

Re: Sidekick (only) with Fantasy ? I bought a PDF copy of Sidekick from the online store, and I have both the HERO 5th and HERO 5th Revised books.

Hey folks, I am trying to introduce two long-term AD&D/D&D 3rd players to the HERO system via Fantasy Hero. Both seemed a bit intimidated by the size of the 5th Edition revised Rulebook and Fantasy HERO, so I was wondering if I could run a campaign with Fantasy HERO and just sidekick. If so, what am I going to be missing out on ? Thanks.

Re: x3 Would someone who saw the part after the credits mind posting what happened here (as a spoiler), or shooting me an PM. I missed it. Also, have any of the media outlets mentioned talk of another X-Men trilogy ? I know there is going to be a Wolverine prequel, but that's all I have heard.

Re: What Are You Listening To Right Now? "The Planet Krypton" by John Williams is on repeat on my iPod as I type this.

Re: x3 Just got home from seeing it. Overall, I liked it, but had some of the same issues with it that sketchpad had.

I'm sure someone has statted up several of the Marvel & DC superheroes with HERO 5th, and I was wondering if anyone has collected the various write ups in one place ? If so, would someone mind pointing me in the right direction ? Thanks!
