Re: Genres HERO GAMES may want to avoid (intended to be humorous)

Re: Genres HERO GAMES may want to avoid (intended to be humorous) I am gonna still hold out for "Porn Hero"! Hey, if d20 can have it (The Book Of Erotic Fantasy, but the Valar Project, Inc.), then why not Hero! (Seriously, though, I suspect that Hero would still to a better job of handling the subject the d20 ever could.)

Re: Would you allow a BODY Aid to work on an Entangle? You are right! Bonus dice outside the framework that have the gradual effect would be the most effective (and most legal) way of building the SFX.

Re: Would you allow a BODY Aid to work on an Entangle? No, I think the primary goal was the idea that the villian could continue to further envolope their target. Not just for quicksand. The idea being that if the target does not escape quickly, getting out will become harder and harder to do. The same idea would also work for a rapidly drying cement that continues to harden arround the target. Now the approch that Doc Samson took may not be the most effective one for the effect (but I don't know what would be), but It certainly seems valid.

Re: Would you allow a BODY Aid to work on an Entangle? The power seems a little strong (with a potential for 19 Body, but it is unlikely to get that high), but if you would have answer "Yes" to my second question (Would you allow a player/NPC to buy the entangle directly as 140 active points?) then I would be inclinded to also allow this power. I hope that helps.

Re: Would you allow a BODY Aid to work on an Entangle? If I understand correctly, the idea is that a character who fails to escape will bury him/herself deeper - like someone struggling against quicksand. Even so, there are a couple of rules questions to be looked at: What is the cost ratio for converting the AID roll to Entagle body? Normally, Entangle body is not bought directly but rather as 1d6/10 points and takes the BODY as per a normal damage attack. Normally, a character "heals" his/her entangle by recasting it at the same target. Would you allow a player/NPC to buy the entangle directly as 140 active points? (i.e, a 14d6 body entangle, with a reduced defense?) That -in my understanding of the rules-would be the equivalent to buying the power combo you have just stated.

Re: Dragonstar Campaign Suggestions ? Actually, at the last Gen Con (So Cal), Fantasy Flight didn't even acknowledge its existance. More is the pitty, as it was one of the most interresting takes on the whole d20 system. I might look at converting it to Hero, sticking more closely with the original setting.

Re: Dragonstar Campaign Suggestions ? Has Fantasy Flight dropped support for this setting, the last suppliment Smuggler's Run was released in 2003, and nothing has happened since then.

Re: If HERO Games made TV spots... PAH What is this? This "Work" idea is unknown to me. What is it all about?

Re: Hero vs D20 Future You do realize that these boards are going to be somewhat biased. I am sure that if you asked the same question on Wizard's boards (http://boards1.wizards.com/?styleid=70.php?dcmp=ilc-frontpage) you would get very different answers.

Re: The Grand List Of Overuse Science Fiction Cliches Everything was better in the Original Series! (Of course, I am also a big Benjamin Sisko fan . . . )

Re: The Grand List Of Overuse Science Fiction Cliches I have been married for 21 years myself. But, I do not recant my statement. (Go to a comic shop or RPG store, and see why!)

Re: The Grand List Of Overuse Science Fiction Cliches Actually, quite clear. That does seem kind of strange, but I never caught the "connection" between color and characterization before. (Never was a big Power Rangers fan anyway.)

Re: The Grand List Of Overuse Science Fiction Cliches Okay. I thought it was just because I was a sexist pig.

Re: The Grand List Of Overuse Science Fiction Cliches Why is it that most of my favorite genre conventions have the "pig" icon next to them?

Re: Make Love, not Warcraft

Re: [Review] Galactic Champions Another problem with the alien races presented was that, for those of us who don't happen to have the Terran Empire suppliment, none of them have racial package deals.

Re: WWYCD: Felononius Feline Unfortunately, I have to go after the loot. I may be able track down or set a trap for the thief later, but if the loot is destroyed, it may be hard to replace. As to the theif being "hot," it would not matter much. There are lots of very HOT! heroines also.

Re: Another human civilization may live inside Earth's hollows Wait a minute! We wouldn't want adventurers poking around the North Pole anyway. They might interfere with the important work of Santa's Elves.

Re: Organization Question: ARGENT The ARGENT organization is kind of like a silver-white blank slate.

Re: WWYD: Those Who Cannot Remember The Past I am fortuante that I composed my answer before reading too much farther into the tread, or I would have not bothered to answer.
