  1. Re: Requesting help re: lost y cool combat chart. Players have the option of rolling dice OR using the chart. (or using a dice rolling function that my math geek friend wrote for his programmable calculator). I like using the chart because it's so much faster when I'm GMing. It also tends to smooth out the killing attack stun lotto (as well as smoothing the curve on entangles, drains, flashes, etc, etc, ad nausem).
  2. Re: Requesting help re: lost y cool combat chart. YES! That's the one. You are my new best friend.
  3. Years ago (like 12) I was at GenCon Milwaukee and played a really cool Hero System session run by Dave Mattingly. It was probably the most fun I've ever had playing hero. The best thing about it was that the GM had a REALLY REALLY cool cheat sheet for making combat go faster. It had a grid with damage classes on the Y axis and a 3d6 roll on the X axis with the cells being the STUN/BOD of the attack. Rather than rolling a ton of dice and counting STUN/BOD, just roll 3d6 and consult chart I took it home and used it for years and years but now I've moved and I can't find it. I don't suppose anyone has a PDF or Excel or text copy of it?
  4. Re: Ripping off the Late Roger Zelazny... *Delurk* I love Amber. I'm thinking about doing a FH game with Amber influences. A couple of points regarding trumps. Some of these are pretty obvious but... A) Trumps could be resisted by the receiving party and in some cases by external influences. i) In the NPiA, Corwin could not be reached via Trump due to Amnesia. Oberon was able to block attempts to contact him. Brand was placed in a cell far enough away to not be reachable. Not sure how this would be represented in Hero system. ii) I am not convinced that use of Trumps require concentration or at least extra concentration. NPiA mentions that the Trumps started to work just by touching them. Also how much concentration could have Blyes had when falling off Covir(sic). iii) In the Merlyn Chronicles, the Trumps of Doom were definitely NOT drawn by Dworkin. The NPiA mentions that Dworkin taught Brand and Fiona (I think) how to draw Trumps. iv) The Trumps were used several times to bring more than one person across. In one case a small army was brought across. v) Other people with Trumps could 'listen in', such as the case with the Gerard vs. Corwin fistfight.
