OOC Talk
Re: OOC Talk
I am thinking of picking up the rules. IS this the one we are using? I thought I had it already but can't seem to find the PDF.

That link doesn't seem to work for me, but I think it's the right one, 5th edition revised:

Re: OOC Talk
That is the one I tried to post a link to. Not sure how I messed that up.
Re: OOC Talk
Yes that is the 5th edition HERO book - the base rules
Re: OOC Talk
I thought I bought it when I started in your HERO game but I can't find the PDF anywhere and drivethroughrpg doesn't list in in my account.
Re: OOC Talk
I just want to make sure I get this right. I spend 125 points, then take up to 125 points of disadvantages, then I can spend however many points I took in disadvantages. So in theory I could have 250 points total. The rules are kind of not clear on this.
Re: OOC Talk
That is correct. You get 125 for free and then for every one more point in disadvantages you get another character point. The max total is 250 (125+125)
Re: OOC Talk
Thanks gurusql. that really gives a bunch of options if I can just figure out the disadvantages.
Re: OOC Talk
Obviously with DMs agreement, anyone thinking of doing anything with base/vehicle perks? I was thinking of a repair shop base, SUV, van and a small private jet, but I think they'll be uber expensive
Re: OOC Talk
I had not yet, I was hoping to get a little more info from our friendly GM. I have send him a proposed character that is a freelance mega-corporation spy with certain enhancements from his previous employer.

Re: OOC Talk
I am waiting on a little more background info, then I will try and wrap some stuff up. A vehicle repair shop sounds fine but not sure how much we will need it.
Re: OOC Talk
Yeah, as you say it might not make sense with the background. I might downgrade to a portable repair shop in a van, or just some tools locked away somewhere.
Re: OOC Talk
I know a guy who ran a make shift repair shop out of a storage place, he had a mini lift and everything. Just need one without cameras.
Re: OOC Talk
I probably won't have the points to do much anyway

Re: OOC Talk
You are correct. Also, you get only partials for similar disadvantages...

Re: OOC Talk
There is an option for the group to share points for the base/repair shop. You guys can mull that over as well. The size of the shop, how well stocked it is, hidden location, etc, will determine the overall cost.
Re: OOC Talk
Thanks. I have to get some ideas on paper first, then I will worry about partials.
Re: OOC Talk
I had a bit of a read and a rejig of a few things and sent my character to the GM.
I have a few points left and I'm willing to put them towards some kind of group base/shop/vehicles.

Re: OOC Talk
I'm really close to the finished product (I think), but I'm low on spare points, so any suggestions on efficiency improvements or ways to trim the fat are greatly accepted:
I was wondering which of the 2 options you think is best:
Option 1:
Dex + 8 = 24 pts
+2 SPD = 2 pts
lightning reflexes +2, 3 pts
cyber reflexes, +1 SPD = 8 pts
+2 combat piloting = 4 pts
+2 combat driving = 4 pts
TOTAL = 45
Option 2:
Dex + 3 = 9 pts
Cyber reflexes, +10 dex = 24
+7 SPD = 7
+1 combat piloting = 2 pts
+1 combat driving = 2 pts
TOTAL = 44
Option 2 is slightly cheaper, gives higher dex and so gives me a slightly higher CV (5 rather than 4), but is worse if the cybernetics go offline.
