[QUOTE="Cheiromancer, post: 308609, member: 141"] This is for folks who are familiar with the 4CtF superhero rules, published by our very own Natural 20 press. I am considering using hero points in a standard fantasy campaign. One of the things you can do with hero points is buy attribute increases- +2 to a physical attribute costs 3 hero points, +2 to a mental attribute costs 2 hero points. You can also buy a feat for 2 hero points. The hero class is basically a commoner without any skills or skill points. But you get 8 hero points per level of hero (unless you are over 20th level, in which case you only get 4 hero points). This raises the possibility of a spellcaster devoting a level to bumping up their prime requisite. If a wizard poured all 8 hero points into Intelligence (+8 intelligence), it would be like gaining skill focus and greater skill focus for all schools, plus he would get 4 extra skill points per level and a bunch of bonus spells. Now, he does sacrifice a level of spellcasting. But it seems a very favorable trade. Any comments? Is this use of hero points balanced in a standard fantasy setting? [/QUOTE]
