Has there been any real discussion on what the book codes will be? I'm hoping it's going to be more along the lines of 'All PHBs are given the code of 1234ABCD, which needs to be logged in', rather than 'Each copy of the PHB has a unique code identifying that copy'.

Well, to be fair, using the RAW he is correct. But nobody is ever going to take a level of commoner or expert to model the time his character spent as an innkeeper*; similarly, I've never seen points spent in Craft or Profession skills that couldn't be theoretically usable in combat, like Craft...

Big thanks to both FireLance and jrdeggman. Those are exactly what I was looking for when it comes to Starting Occupations. I might try and strip a few of the much more combat oriented feats out of there, but it looks like most of the work has already been done. Anyone done any work on...

I'm trying to put together some stuff for my next campaign after my World War II Superheroes wraps up in the next couple months (using Mutants & Masterminds, naturally). I'm looking at going back to Eberron, because I really dig all of the various factions that are struggling for power in the...

My group has been having a great time using the Playing Cards option detailed in the Masterminds Manual: Before play, get two decks of standard playing cards, toss out all face cards, and shuffle them together... this leaves you with an 80 card deck of 1-10. Red cards are face value, black cards...

And oddly enough, I can come up with probably half a dozen different power sets/character backgrounds where 'Attack the Nile' is a perfectly valid choice of tactics.

I remember reading the Civil War issue in question - those SHIELD agents should have been treated as mooks/minions. Almost anyone other than named villians should be mooks - zombies, vampire spawn, Viper Agents, robot troopers, etc.

Regarding Mutants & Masterminds, let me be another to vote for 'Your M&M GM isn't giving out enough Hero Points'. You should also be getting them for role-playing, doing cool stuff, etc. If you are having to save them for only the most absolutely imperative of moments, you aren't getting enough...

Eh. So far I haven't seen any limiters that couldn't be covered in the "-1 pt per rank, or -1 pt flat" scheme. (OTOH, I also haven't seen any powers that cost 100 pts, so YMMV) I've played HERO for years, and I can still barely keep up with your 'simplified' system. HERO is a remarkably...

The values of adders and limiters can and should be debated with your GM. If a limiter isn't worth enough to count as a -1 point per rank, make it a flat -1 point. Similarly, if an adder isn't worth a +1 point per rank, make it a flat +1 point. M&M and Fuzion are not just very similar beasts...

The two character generation systems (HERO and M&M) are *extremely* similar. I would argue that M&M took the HERO system and removed all of the problems. ;) I played Champions for a long time, and I could never make a character without a spreadsheet or a calculator at the minimum. M&M has...

See, I find the M&M way to build powers much easier. To build a similar power in M&M, you'd start with the Blast power, which costs 2 pts per rank. Let's call it Blast 10 for 20 pts. For every additional ability you add to the power, add +1 pt per rank. In this case, there is no 'No Normal...

I'd second ThatGuyThere: calling this a 'level' will lead to confusion. Call it a bonus Background Feat or somesuch, or even create a set of Occupation Feats... possibly with differing amounts/types of bonuses to hp, profession skills, starting gold, etc., depending on what their occupation used...

Sorry, should have made this clearer in the original post: We play on weeknights, usually Monday or Tuesday, from about 7:30pm to 11:30pm. Hopefully this can work into your schedule.

We've recently lost one of our gaming group (when we found out that his wife was going to have a baby, we knew it was only a matter of time), and now we're finding that a group of four (with an infrequent fifth) to be just a little too small. So we are looking to add someone to our group... and...

Well, you can always take a page from Mutants & Masterminds by adding hero points. One great usage of hero points is that you can spend one and gain the use of a specific feat for one round. Dueling that BBG, and need to part him from his immensely powerful magical sword? Spend a hero point, and...

Are there any suggestions on how to fit this module in to Eberron or the Forgotten Realms? A quick paragraph or sidebar with that info is always a plus.

Ok - more from the SRD...

I'm putting together a new character to replace the TPK we had last week, and I've got a question. Here's the relevant text from the SRD: Can I keep a shield in my Glove of Storing? This way, I could switch from using my weapon one-handed with the shield or using it two-handed with just a free...

Its our first time with a character taking a Prestige Class that ups his arcane caster level (the Mystic Theurge, so it actually ups his Divine caster level too), and I've got a question about usage. Since the +1 caster level only counts for spellcasting abilities, does the character get the...
