I am attempting a major power based on by Them Bones minor superability. It is too weak for a major right now, so I am making this a revised version. Any feedback is helpful.

Lol, no, when I'm a player I don't argue with the GM. I usually end up arguing with players when I'm a GM because I don't want to kick them out.

P.S. For those of you wondering... yes, the Stone Gargoyle keeps watch over the House of the BTS from its rooftop.

Accidents happen. We don't always return our car keys to the right set of pants.

Not sure how Healing Factor really slots* into a Climbing ability power, but since it's a Major one, and they have a lot of leeway for lesser aspects, I figure it can pass...

I think Hackmaster borrowed some of Palladium goodness since Kev and Jolly are good friends. I think that's where the active defense comes from.

We get those occasionally on this forum. There have been entire threads dedicated to how to create the most powerful combinations of powers, for instance, or how to stack bonuses to get the highest strength and SDC scores.

https://forum.rpg.net/index.php?threads/favourite-superhero-rpg-system.886180/page-4#post-24030938 There aren't a lot of responses to the thread here, so this is hardly conclusive.

Not everyone plays to max out bonuses. Some people like HU for the role playing aspects over min-maxing.

Stone Gargoyle

It is the same as those other games, they just do it better than Heroes Unlimited. I disagree. Putting points to powers MAKES THEM LIMITED IN SCOPE. And if you dislike Heroes Unlimited, maybe you are on the wrong Forum. And I think you misunderstood my statement, or at least I hope you did. A power...

Stone Gargoyle

I think the powers vary so much that you would have a hard time making them affordable with a points budget. This not correct either. Everything in HU can be duplicated in M&M 2e or 3e, Champions, Mythic D6, Prowlers and Paragons. All have points based powers with limiters which change them. It...

I forgot to add SDC of the vines to this one, so I'm updating it. Entanglement (minor) The character is surrounded by barbed vines which catch on opponents which attack him.

Jefffar wrote:Many of the classes in HU use some form of point buy, it's just that not all of them use the same points.

Bionics, Robots and Hardware characters use Dollars for point buy
Mutant Animals use Bio-E for point buy

So are you in favor of streamlining the game so it uses all one type of points?

Stone Gargoyle

I don't think HU needs an overhaul. It certainly doesn't need a point buy system. They just need to streamline it and get all the Rifter material into the relevant categories and make everything easier to find and read. For one thing, I don't think you are going to find someone willing to put in the...

With Palladium books ending Rifter,I think it,s time to add a few New Books to Not Just Rifts but H.U,PFrpg abd BtS. Do you thin they will do it?

:roll: Well, considering the adjectives I'm using are meant to be interpreted by Palladium fans who are human beings. I wouldn't call any mutant animal "a beauty". I mean I suppose I could call a female mutant ninja turtle "a beauty" but some people might think that's a little w...

I would think that would make the characters unnecessarily complicated to play.

All the books updated to Second Edition and the ones that are only Second Edition made into First Edition. It would be nice to have complete, functioning games.

Sort of like how PB consolidated all of the bionics into one book for Rifts?

Yes. PB started doing it with some of the power categories but didn't follow through with all of them.

There is no need to modify the rules. HU2 has some of the best rules of all the Palladium games and does not need to be rewritten. While it is not the best organized, we do not need a new edition to clean up the rules and streamline them. All that would be needed is a set of books with everything or...
