Hero System Hero System is a universal role-playing game system published by Hero Games. It descends from Champions, originally published in 1981 as a comic-book-style superhero role-playing game. Currently in its 5th Edition (Revised), the system features a rigorous point-based system for purchasing abilities and equipment (though a monetary system for purchasing equipment is also available for some genres). Hero System exclusively uses cubic, "6-sided" dice (or "d6's") for all rolls. | |
CampaignsTV Superheroes is a superheroic campaign set in a composite universe based primarily (but not exclusively) on such TV superheroes as the Bionic Man, Michael Knight and the Invisible Man. The campaign uses the 4th Edition of the Hero System rules and features characters that fit thematically with the source material and that tie into selected elements from the numerous shows that make up the game world. CharactersRebecca Ravenstone is a beautiful mentalist trained and for a time employed by the extraterrestrial frathm as a security agent. Now back on earth, she makes her way with confidence and style through a world no longer familiar to her. Nesto Alvarado is an illegal alien with the power to awaken machines and computers to animal-level intelligence. His pickup truck, now a living machine, is his most constant and loyal companion. Nate Reynolds is a semi-retired, long-term government operative and expert tracker whose mature good looks belie his long life. Antron is Anthony Adam, son of world-famous geneticists who tinkered with him as an embryo to save him from deformities. They used ant DNA to make him hale, healthy, and whole. It also had the side-effect of giving him superpowers. House RulesCharacters may buy Lightning Reflexes at a reduced cost of 1 point per +1 Initiative in general, or 2 points per +3 Initiative for a single action or maneuver. The values of half dice and of +1 or -1 pip, using the Standard Effect Rule, are different from the official values. The Adder Unobtrusive makes a Mental Power completely imperceptible to its target, for a cost of +15 Points. |
