[QUOTE="Warchild, post: 144041, member: 769"] I've played the Hero System in the past, heck i've played Champions, Champions II, and Champions III!!, as well as 4E! :) It has some real great properties. IT has some drawbacks. Even for experienced players, combat takes a long time. For GM/DM, Hero System creates more work than D&D. Most especially with a "wizard" type character. Making a 20th level Wizard in D&D is easier than making a equal powered character in Hero, because Hero has a lot of micro-managing. Its either that or all of your npc's become exactly alike, or all of your NPC wizard types end up with a power pool, rather than actual spells!! :) Its micro managing, however, can also be its greatest asset. Being able to detail your characters statistics, skills, abilities can be a wonderful thing! Imagine being able to tie in a specific quirk or detail into each of your character's own spells, many of which he created himsel, that makes it unqiue! Its basically up to your tastes. Personally, i wish D20 was a little more loose and that Hero was little more structured. But you can't have everything. I think it would be easier to loosen D20 up, than to try to regulate Hero, though. [/QUOTE]
