  7. Can you look this character over

    Re: Can you look this character over

     

    Yeah the high speed and dex are to allow him to hold actions to keep from getting clobbered. He can also use TK and light saber as attacks. TK to push people away (Not choking like darth vader). And light saber depending on what he is fighting. Obviously he shouldn't go to town on agents. When did I say I was making a Jedi? My memory is fading...was it when I asked about senses?

    It's a Jedi for a supers campaign. I'm not sure if he'll live the average attack is AP75. Anyway, if you can give some feedback on how I simulated the powers I would appreciate it. Any Suggestions would be appreciated.

  11. Common Items

    I know in a superhero game you usually have to pay points for everything, but lets say the fight is over and the heros don't want the bad guys to take off. Would you allow them to carry wire ties? They cost a buck at home depot. If not they would have to buy them as entangles.

     

    Also, how about a car?

     

    House?

     

    Cell Phone?

     

    This kind of stuff comes up all the time.

  12. How do you handle healing?

    in HERO System Discussion

    Posted

    It seems healing is a little broken or I'm not wrapping my head around it. As I understand it, It's 10 pts per die. You can do it the simple way and you just roll your points and give the target the amount of stun/body you rolled once per day. So in my campaign I have a 75 AP cap on any power. So a guy wants A player who is a healer. So he can heal 7 1/2 dice of damage to a team member. On average he can heal 26 stun.

     

    If a character is hit with the average attack a 15d6 EB (75 AP). That character will on average get hit for 53 stun. So, he might be able to heal the brick. (30 pd/ED). But not the rest of the party.

     

    On the other hand, everyone can keep track of every wound and he would be able to heal them to better. But, I don't like the bookkeeping that has to take place. So I was wondering how you handle healing. Or do you just use it as is.

  15. Any ideas?

    in HERO System Discussion

    Posted

    I'm looking for ideas on how to simulate a telekinetic shield that comes up automatically when the character is attacked. He wrote it as a missle deflect that is basically always on. I vetoed it because I don't allow missle deflect to be used that way. I had him change it to a higher DCV for ranged combat but that still isn't working for me because it makes his dcv too high. There only so many AOE or Explosions to throw at the character. (Villians can't hit him otherwise.) If I just give the villans combat levels then It will hurt the rest of the team alot.

  17. Need a little help with this one

    in HERO System Discussion

    Posted

    I want a darkness attack where when the character hits another with it. It creates a darkness field that follows the target. So far I got 1" darkness...usable as an attack. My question is this:

     

    With darkness you usually only have to attack a hex. Does usable as an attack take care of this or would the character get a discount because he actually has to hit the opponent for it to work?

  19. Does anyone have any idea why this is legal?

    Re: Does anyone have any idea why this is legal?

     

    Okay,

     

    I explained to him through an email that we are going to use Page 28 of Fred to define power limits. We are using "High Powered". He made a new character. Some of it is like the last. Now he added Extra-Dimensional Movement. So now it's not jumping around the world in 2 t-ports it's anywhere in the dimension. Some other things that bother me as well. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Personally, I hate this phase of the game.
