[QUOTE="Rinndalir, post: 142550, member: 20"] I've played Champions once or twice, I forget which edition, a LONG time ago...the characters were awesome but the combats seemed to take FOREVER. Hmmmm. You say HEROS can do any magic system...could it do freeform Ars Magica/Mage type magic? Where you do have "spells" but also the choice of making up something on the fly from what your magic strengths are? More importantly, this system sounds great but very newbie-unfriendly. I can show someone completely new to 3e how to make a playable character in about half an hour, even the mathematically challenged. If they can't add in their head, I can give em a calculator and they're good to go for gameplay. Is it possible for someone who has a solid character idea but isn't very good at math and isn't the type who actively takes an interest in learning the rules to play HEROS and have fun? [/QUOTE]
