Re: Pathfinder Campaign book Shrike has done a huge D&D 3e to HERO System conversion, years ago. The level to points chart is here.... http://www.killershrike.com/FantasyHERO/Conversion3e/Conversion3eStep1.aspx He also converted the first Pathfinder issue to HERO System terms....here: http://www.killershrike.com/FantasyHERO/Conversion3e/Pathfinder/PaizoPathfinder.aspx So....I don't think he's asking for really basic info on Paizo or Pathfinder so much as the actual book...

Re: Which Champion are you Raised on a steady diet of comic books, you grew up to be an unstable lunatic, whose wacky ambitions are only matched by your delusions of grandeur. You're too crafty to get caught, otherwise you'd certainly be locked away in the loony bin! Take the quiz! I'm sure my friends wouldn't be surprised by this one.

Re: Heroes Who Mess-Up Oh man oh man oh maaaan! Hancock could've been an honorary member of our group! Sad to say but true none the less. He woulda fit right in.

Re: Show you story telling skills. I was inspired by just reading the first Story submitted and decided to write my own before I read any more. With that being said I apologize ahead of time if my story is too similar anyone else. It was purely coincidental. Also I'll try to keep this at the 200 word requirement. "Who do you think will get here first?" The question was asked by one of MCPD's finest as he leaned against the hood of his patrol car. His partner stepped out of the car, having just called in for any and all super powered assistance available. With a shrug of his shoulders he answered. "Probably Hype, I'm surprised he hasn't gone in already." With a grin the first patrolman said "Maybe he has and left already.". "He is in Alaska fighting Glacius according to S.N.N." answered the second patrolman with a shake of his head. "I hope Hype bothered to go around Canada this time." "Don't know, don't care, and I doubt it." said the second cop. "So-a what's the story here fellas?" The question was asked by a seemingly ordinary pedestrian with a New York accent, but the cops knew exactly who he was. Both patrolmen stood and walked to the center of the street with Rook. All three stared at front of the bar, its stained glass windows obscuring the insides. The second patrolman spoke first. "We saw Grond go in there, and you never saw a place empty out so fast. There might be one or two Lookey-Lous still in there hoping for a good seat when the action starts but we doubt it." "Alright yous fellas did yous jobs, now I'm gonna ask yous to keep everyone else who shows up out here wit yous" said Rook as his orange HOME DEPOT apron came off seemingly by itself. "What about back up? Shouldn't you wait for the other Mill-Men, or the MC8, or even the PRIMUS ICARUS units?" asked the first cop. "What makes yous tink I need help wit dis" said Rook with a curious expression. "Well aren't you going to fight him?" responded the cop with a tone of certainty in his voice. The floating apron suddenly flew in the face of the startled cop. "Hold dis for me will ya smart guy. Thank yous! Just cuz I was the bruiser of the Mill-Men don't mean I can't tink my way outta problems. Don't let anyone go in there after me. If I needs assistance yous will know it." and with that Rook slid across the street and stepped through the door. Inside Grond sat at the bar with a beer in hand. His gaze alone held the poor bartender hostage, but as Rook stepped inside that menacing gaze shifted to Rook. He was watching Rook intently through the mirror placed behind the bar when Rook moved over and sat down beside him. A short growl escaped his lips before he spoke. "I ain't wantin no trouble but I ain't lettin you take me in neither. I'm jus sittin here trying to have a drink and this guy won't even take my money!" Grond said with a nod in the bartender's direction. "Yous still got your beer dough" said Rook. "Thats cuz he knew better then to say no to me" said Grond. "I guess so" said Rook, and he spoke then to the bartender. "I'll take a shot of whiskey and a cold one." The poor bartender managed to get all the whiskey in the glass despite the shaking hands and even remembered the napkin coaster for the beer. Taking a sip of whiskey Rook gave bartender a nod to head towards the back. He glanced nervously over at Grond who was taking a drink from his glass. "Its ok pal, we're gonna be here a while." said Rook to the bartender. "We are?" asked Grond. "Hey I just came in on my lunch break pal for a cold one. If I was lookin for a fight I'dve said so yous know?" said Rook after finishing off his whiskey shot. "Yeah? Then what?" asked Grond in a suspicous tone. "Well then I go back to work and yous go back to whatever it was yous has to do... sos long as its not causin no one else problems. Den yous and I might have a problem." "I just wanted a beer and didn't have any at home." answered Grond. "Yeah I hate it when dat happens." said Rook. Two large glasses floated down from the overhead rack and settled under the tap as they began to fill with more beer. Looking up at Grond Rook said "I gots dis round, da nexts is on yous." "Sure, fine by me. My money is just as good as the next guys." said Grond. "But what are we gonna do about the cops outside and the other heroes who are gonna show up while we drink." "If deys want a drink dey can come in and buy one, otherwise dey can wait outside for us to finish and den I'll goes talk to em. Yous let me handle dem and everything will be fine. Yous will go your way and we'll goes our way. Everybody wins, nobody loses ya know?" "Fine by me." answered Grond into his glass.

Re: Magic of Melanda: Rune Science Maybe this will help and maybe it won't but without further ado I give you almost all the work it sounds like you need done... er done.

Re: Bad news for Wheel of Time fans Oh I didn't think to look there... if only I had. Oh well.

I haven't been on here in a few days but I'm still surprised to find no mention of Robert Jordan's passing away. While not being a fan of his work myself I figure some people on here are and would be talking about this. Maybe it slipped under the radar or I just missed it. Anyways to whom it may concern Robert Jordan passed away over the weekend. Looks like now we'll never know how the series was going to end! http://www.cnn.com/2007/SHOWBIZ/books/09/17/obit.jordan.ap/index.html?iref=newssearch

Re: Best magic system? This may or may not help you decide on what kinda of magic to use in your campaign but my buddy KillerShrike of these boards has already done 98% of any work you could possibly conceive of for any magic system. Heres a link, enjoy! http://www.killershrike.com/FantasyHERO/FantasyHERO.aspx

Re: Who Is... Your Favorite Villain? While I'm not in the know about most of the villains either from the current edition or past ones I can say I really liked reading about Luthor Black. I think he gets my vote. Yes Luthor Black! Because he wants to rule the world in style and look cool doing it. Sure he has had set backs, but what villain hasn't? This guy is the very embodiment of commitment to a long term far reaching goal.

Re: Pennsylvania Dutch Magic: design questions Well having been born and raised in the good ol' country side of Pennsylvania I just had to look in on this one. I lived there for eighteen years before joining the Navy and I had never heard of Pennsylvania Dutch Magic. Thats a new one on me! Now mind you this is not to say I never saw anything strange happen at night in the countryside. Believe you me I did and sometimes when I think about it even now sends a cold shiver down my spine. Now if you'll all excuse me I need to go put on a sweatshirt and turn the heat up...

Re: [Character] Makeshift A good idea and one we were going to incorporate into anyways. Shrike is just waiting on me to give him ALL of the disads so he only has to update once. Still a good suggestion. Also as a side note we had decided that Makeshift didn't really hunt down Mantara so much as he was the first hero on the scene for Mantara's latest escapade. He caught her, stripped off the gear he wanted and then turned the villain over to the cops. Anyways FYI, thats all.

Re: [Character] Makeshift Well thank you one and all for your questions, comments, and concerns for my newest addition to the Champions/Killershrike universe! I don't really have anything useful to contribute here but I'm glad you guys like the concept. I've always been good with ideas and poor with execution of said ideas. Fortunately I have Shrike for a GM/Friend. We were eating and brainstorming ideas about how to make a new unique PA hero. I suggested a guy who was too lazy to design his own suit but what if he took bits and pieces from all the other PA suits out there to make his own bastardized version. I mean so far as I knew it had never been done before and that struck me as odd. It also convinced me it was a great idea and Shrike whipped out his trusty note pad and pen and began scribbling furiously away. Meanwhile I poured through all the Champions products for everyone ever even rumored to wear a PA suit at some point. I wanted to have a little something from every PA out there but the concept proved to be expensive fast. I had visions of this guy with Ankylosaur's tail, Destroyer's dented helmet (remembered seeing a pic in one of the books of someone holding the Dr.'s battered old helmet), and a slew of bits from the other villains's suits. Oh well as I get the XPs I'll definately add in the more notable distinctive PA pieces to his collection. Stay tuned true believers!

Re: City of Heroes - Online Hero Game Well for what its worth I only have three heroes on CoH now. I used to have more but deleted them. You can reach me @Hypothermic but I haven't been on since Halloween of 2006. Love the game still but it tends to distract me from getting anything done in RL like school, work, paying bills... Hypothermic Ice/Ice Blaster Lvl 45 Hazard Zone Invul/Earth Tanker Lvl 44 or 45, I don't remember honestly Pessum Dare Dark/Dark Scrapper Lvl 45 I may get back on again for a short time in the semi-near future. If I do I'll sound off here for an invite to the Heroboard SG. I didn't know there was one till now. Guess I should have though! I'm on the CHAMPION server BTW.

Re: I'm Starting My First Cyber-Hero Game I'm betting veterans of the hero boards such as you two gentlemen are already aware of this but I'll post a link to Shrike's MetaCyber stuff anyways. Sounds like it will be a natural and easy fit for your campaign. Enjoy! http://www.killershrike.com/MetaCyber/MetaCyber.shtml
