Re: Learning Curve? hero systems is not complex in the astrophysics sense, its more like art apparition. some gamers are going to get hung up on math [ overblown] others on the jargon {again overblown} and still others will be intimidated by the big book [yet again overblown]. but there is a perception that its hard like astrophysics, we must stamp that idea out and show gamers that that at its core its pretty simple { sh*t i started with one 80pg book , at the same time AD&D PH was 127pg, DMG 232pg thats 359pg of complexity .if we were to bring a champions player and a AD&D player from 1982 threw time and sit them down at a tabla to play the modern descendant of there system the AD&D player would be totally lost and the Champions player would be thrilled and amazed .the D&D V 3.5, PH is now 317pg and DMG 320pg , H5R is 592pg . the simple fact is that H5R is no more difficult to learn than D&D and far more complete. }

Re: Need help: Heat Metal change environment damage nnd and tempter level at high levels perhaps with a RKA to start depends how much damage you want add's you may want to look at cumulative,indirect,duration add, sticky,

Re: Summon: Weapon? if weapons are Equipment in your game and are not paid for with points then i would go for transform [major] appropriate raw material to weapons with the heal back as braking the weapon and /or some form of dispel magic . the alchemist would need the skill conger weapon and make a skill roll{int or ego based 3pts} I would also require a -0 lim cant create weapons in excess of the total body per day. eg 1d6 transform could make 1 great sword [6body] or 2 short swords [3 body each] per day. if characters have to pay points for there equipment than buy the hth attack with no focus lim as previously suggested.

Re: WF for Weapons on Vehicles v Vehicle Weapons in addition the 2pt WF Small Arms dose not include general purpose /heavy machine guns and i cant think of a SMG or LMG being vehicle mounted on a military vehicle

Re: WF for Weapons on Vehicles v Vehicle Weapons i would say that WF vehicle weapons applies to weapons attached to a vehicle and inseparable eg missals , canons, chain guns etc. but not to removable ordnance like a M-60. if it is removable it is not a vehicle weapon. the penalty ocv takes in to account the difficulty of firring from a moving vehicle ,the WF general purpose /heavy machine guns lets you use them. that being said H5R pg 76 under the notes for WF general purpose /heavy machine guns that usually you do need WF vehicle weapons

Re: Best supporting non-super character in comics? Alfred,for all the right reasons Heather Hudson per powered armor[Alpha Flight],for having the life of peter parker till she becomes Vindicator.

Re: What happened to the Champions? yup me to. as i said in another thread he may have been proto nighthawk material

Re: What happened to the Champions? a vary Hard Man, i would think nighthawk owes him more than a passing nod:D

Re: How to have a power and not have it coming to a game in 3,2,1:sick:

Re: What happened to the Champions? yup i miss Crusader to

Re: real powered armorer lim actually referring to the extra limb:tail. he dos not have KB resistance at all:D i was however in agreement with your statement "but if your knockback resistance comes from just being massive, then yeah, that's not going to "turn off"."

Re: Best Martial Artist: Champions Universe as far as i know he only appeared in Watchers of the Dragon and is described thus "His complexion was dark and his long black hair was bound behind his head in a ponytail.A black eyepatch covered his left eye,and his clothes were dark." "he was tall, almost six feet,and well-muscled and lithe." and that all i will say:D

Re: Best Martial Artist: Champions Universe NO!!!

Re: real powered armorer lim major tom i had not thought of that, good point zeropoint i can just see anklosaraur's tail freezing up and leaking hydraulic fluid. and that was what i was thinking of in regards to knockback resistance

Re: What happened to the Champions? i never said he was good just that he was playable , besides the versions in the CU and WD would be competitive if updated.

Re: real powered armorer lim thanks guys now major tom though you are absolutely right that powered armor in the real world would have all of the problems you have pointed out and thy may have a place in some builds thy are not necessary to the real powered armor lim. that being said it raised a interesting point in my mind i had previously thought that all powers in the powered armor could receive the limitation but i now see that certain Powers such as growth density increase extra limbs,knock-back resistance and other powers ware thy would all most always be in effect despite the neglect the suite of powered armor had received.

Re: How to have a power and not have it the skill power could do this just like brick tricks if he wants to do it a lot he should buy a MP, EC ,VVP or power.perhaps with requires a power skill roll.

Re: What happened to the Champions? @#$% the only thing not 5TH on seekers cha sheet is his HTH [Triple Irons?] {quick check the BBB}oops and the cost of combat sense, you can play him as is no problem ]

Re: Learning Curve? i just had a Epiphany sidekick and a truncated version HD to match sidekick all at a really low price. most of use hear don't need or want it but it would help the newbies tremendously . i haven't seen sidekick but if extra-dimensional movement is not in it then HDsidekick would says this "power not available in sidekick please purchase H5R and or HDv3 at www.herogames.com" i think that curiosity would sell the books/ program as the protoherogamer emerge.

Re: Best Martial Artist: Champions Universe the man with eye patch was never given a official write up but given his history i think it safe to assume that he is creeping around South East Asia in the CU. just to keep the new guys on there toes .....

Re: Best Martial Artist: Champions Universe i would have to yes to Fiacho and no to Utility perhaps the rules for the tournament of the dragon should apply to the criteria?

Re: Best Martial Artist: Champions Universe well i know you ruled out 4th ed but I've got a funny feeling that "the man with eye patch" might be on that list

Steve a couple of days ago on the "Putting on Powered Armor" thread i suggested using the Real Armor Lim To represent time needed to don powered armor {and received some praise for the suggestion} this lead me to post "Real Powered Armor Lim" and start to examen the limitations Real Armor and Real Weapon. in this examination i discovered that there are certain criteria for these lims{that are not discussed on pg 480 and 487 in H5R} in HD2.42 and that in Star Hero examples show it being used on some powers and not on others in the same focus[powered battlesuit] could you shed some light on Real Armor and Weapon Limitation. thanks in advance:)

Re: Putting on Power Armor thanks Major Tom i was trying to remember the name of that show
