Re: Two-weapon fighting

Yeah, an OCV cap was one thing that came to mind when thinking of advantages to two-weapon fighting, but I'd forgotten about the limited ambidexterity and didn't think of weapons of different sizes. With those in mind the price seems more fair

Re: Two-weapon fighting

Okay, thanks for clearing that up

I guess it just seems like buying two-weapon fighting is rarely better than buying 2 more OCV as a characteristic for the same amount of points, though in some cases two-weapon fighting could be better and it's better for roleplaying I suppose

Re: Two-weapon fighting

Sorry if I should've started a new topic, but two-weapon fighting (6th edition) still confuses me and I'd like an example. For a normal multiple attack, a character making (for example) 4 attacks would have a -6 penalty for all those attacks. If a character makes 4 attacks with two-weapon fighting, what is the penalty for each attack then? I'm pretty sure it's either:

A. -4 on all four attack rolls

B. -0 on the first two attack rolls and -6 on the next two

or

C. -4 on the first two attack rolls and -6 on the next two.

Even after reading this thread I'm not entirely sure. I learn better with examples, and sadly the book didn't have an example (that I could find at least) of someone using two-weapon fighting.

Re: How many pages are the 6ed books?

Thanks, I'll consider buying the actual books too.

I'm thinking about buying both 6th edition pdfs, but I want to know how many pages each are before buying them just in case I want to print them out. Does anyone know how many pages each are?

Re: The HERO System 6th Edition

Just for curiosity, about how many pages does each book have?

If a character has an attack power linked to another attack power, and both are physical attacks and are used at the same time, is the target's PD counted against both attacks individually, or is the PD only factored in once?

In Sidekick, it says under growth that (for example) for 45 points your width is 4". Is the radius or the diameter of the character 4"?

In Sidekick, multiform says that a character's forms are built on the same Base Points as the true form (or fewer points). Does this mean that items such as the Dracoform Amulet can't be used unless the character using it is made up of at least 1,000 base points?
