Will you mix playstyles?

[Ahnehnois]

I always mix styles. Radically different ones, I might add.

It's just not possible.

Really?

 

[Dannyalcatraz]

It's just not possible.

I can already do this in HERO.

Totally true! HERO rocks!

 

[Minigiant]

I already do in my homebrew.
One player player a 1st edition human swordsaint. The other player plays a 2nd edition changeling wizard.

But I'd love to play a game with mixed styles.

A 1e style wizard who is just hit points and spell slots.

A 2e style rogue who gets a few skills, a few hit points, and a mean sneak attack.

A 3rd edition barbarian with daily rages, skill points, and a strong regular melee attack

A 4th edition style cleric 3 trained skills, 2 at will divine attacks, an encounter healing move, and a daily super attack.

Will I try to let players use different rules at the same time?

No!

I will look through the different modules to pick and choose the stuff I want to use in the game though. Some stuff is going to be rejected because I don't like the mechanics but for the most part I'm keeping an open mind.

Of course I can only guess at the specifics so this question is moot any way.

I think you win.

But does HERO have the same psychological/social divides that D&D does?

Really not the same thing.

It won't be different rules...

 

[Stormonu]

Not unless WotC really hits it out of the park (and I'm kinda expecting a bunt the more I read). I have enough trouble remember the rules from a single edition.

Whatever do you mean?

I bet there's nobody who would actually complain that someone's PC is using differ mechanics that have no bearing on their own PC.

Considering some of the attitudes and conversations I've seen around here lately, I think you'd be surprised.
