Stagliano

Thank you, Grailknight.

Y'all are STILL missing the point. It's not about the build. It's about whether or not a character can take a new limitation on a power after it was initially developed to reflect changes in the campaign.

I provided the breakdown of the spell, for those of you curious.

HOWEVER, I think you're missing the point of the question. Regardless of what the limitations should be, our question is should Kali add the limitation "Must be able to reach the ground with the staff (-½)" and thus get the 3XP back, now that she would have to fly down to the ground (and potentially in harms way) in order to be able to cast the spell.

Here is the current build of the Spell:

Spell of the Shock Wave:  (Total: 201 Active Cost, 28 Real Cost)

Blast 9d6,

Does Knockdown (+1/4),

Area Of Effect Accurate (8m Radius; +3/4),

OAF: Staff (-1),

Only affects targets on the ground (-1/2),

plus

3 Charges (-1 1/4),

1st TTRPG: Champions in the early 80s.

1st TTRPG GMed: Dark Champions: The Animated Series. (It only lasted two or three sessions.)

Currently playing: Fantasy Hero. "The Sword of Daden." An Epic Fantasy Adventure. We've been playing since Oct. 10th, 2017 (with an 18 month gap for the pandemic).

When start HERO: in the early 80s

My wife is playing a sorceress (Kali) in our Fantasy Hero campaign. Kali has an enchanted staff (OAF) which must be tapped on the ground (Gestures) for a spell to work. When we built the spell, she was always either on foot or on horseback, from both of which she could reach the staff to the ground to activate the spell. Therefore, we didn't take a Limitation "must be able to reach the staff to the ground (-½)." However, in the course of the campaign, she recently acquired a magic necklace that enables her to fly. (We know, and play, that Complications gained during play are not worth any points, but Limitations are a different breed.) Our GM (@nlubofsky2) is on the fence as whether or not to give her the Limitation now (it would mean gaining back 3XP). He's agreed to post this query here on the forums for your feedback. What say you?

The wife and I are considering moving to Boise, ID. Just wondering if there is any HERO presence out that way. Would love to join an existing campaign. 

Will be bringing this table and would love to host if that works for the other gamers.

(Table seats 7; can squeeze 9.)

FYI: I'm not a GM (just don't have the skills or inclination) but happy to host if someone else can GM.

Good evening Steve. I would like to create a spell for a FH PC that effects targets (but not friendlies) in a given radius. Selective allows that. However, I would like all unfriendlies to be effected without having to target them individually. Could I apply Accurate to this power to have that effect? Thanks, -David

6E2 p.134 states, "A character in a Heroic campaign may push his STR or abilities up to 5 Character Points with a successful EGO Roll, +1 Character Point for every point by which he makes the EGO Roll." Our group has read and re-read this and discussed subtleties of grammar and word order. We think it means either

A character with a STR of 10 who makes his EGO roll by 3 can push his STR to

1) 18 (5CP plus 3 for the 3 points by which he made his EGO roll)

OR

2) 13 (3CP because the 5CP is a max, not a starting point.)

though I've got a pretty full schedule myself

Zane, that was over a year ago. Is your schedule still pretty full? See my other post in the Player Finder forum about us looking for FH players.

@AJMile Have you thought anymore about playing Fantasy Hero? We are actively looking for new players. If so, text me at 3/ 929-0716

We play once a month on the weekends. Must be able to be present in person (i.e. no Skype or the like) and make a commitment to attend. (We get that once in a while things come up, but otherwise we're counting on you.)

I host at my house on the eastern edge of Centennial (near Southlands Mall)/ E470 & Smoky Hill (Exit 10)).

Game on,

@AJMile I live on the eastern edge of Centennial near Southlands mall. If you change your mind about the Fantasy Hero campaign, let me know.

I'm currently in two campaigns. One Fantasy Hero and one Champions. I host (but don't GM) the Fantasy Hero at my house. Next month I will have a larger table that will accommodate two more players. If you're interested, I'll put you in touch with the GM.

The Champions campaign is full up.

I am playing in a mostly realistic Fantasy Hero campaign. Mostly realistic at least regarding how humans interact with animals. (I.e. animals don't talk.)

My priestess, Berika, has an owl familiar, Flamebreast. I would like Flamebreast to be able to scout for danger along the path ahead. I thought of Clairsentience. But I would also like for Berika to be able to tell Flamebreast instructions like, "go back and see what's behind that boulder." How would I accomplish that given the fact that even if the two of them were standing face-to-face, Flamebreast would not be able to comprehend Berika's words. What game element, along with Clairsentience would allow that ability?

Thanks Fellow Heroes.

Would love to get in contact with you in case either of us finds a group. Do you know of a secure way to exchange contact into?

Hello Hero System enthusiasts. I am looking for a game in the Metro Denver, Colorado area. Any genre/ power level will do. I can host at my house or travel as necessary.
