[QUOTE="paqman, post: 144337, member: 1041"] You know, I have been playing d20 games only, since it came out, and I caught the Dungeonite sickness. All our games are on D20, Mediaval (DnD), contemporary(A king of hybrid Supers) and Sci-fantasy (dragonstar) and I feel that it is too much. So after much debates 2 weeks ago, we switched the supers game to a Hero games. We converted the character pretty faithfully and it blew a wind of change in our games. So now we don't only have d20 games. We feel much better. For the creation, you will do math, but don't expect anything too difficult. It's as simple as multiplying 50 * 1.25, or dividing 25 by 2.75. etc... After each power, skills and stats are fleshed out, it is only a matter of adding all the points and your done. What I consider long in character creation is not really the math, it is the amount of options open to you. You can virtually build ANY powers. So this, when creating your character, is a hell of a problem. In the past, when someone started a new game, it even took me weeks to make my character, because I would need to make about 10 of them and then choose, with much difficulties, one when starting the game. The options are as much as your imagination can devise. This is a big plus, and character creation is sheer pleasure for me. In action, when you really know the rules, it is long, but not too long. If you fight beween equals, you could go to 1 or 2 hours. If you fight with a lot of opponents (Like a big bunch of low powered goons with their strong masters (king of a climactic battle)) It could take a while longer. But hey, its fun. And BTW, climactic batles, in dnd3rd often take 1 or 2 hours also. So it is not really different in time, only in mechanics. Go ahead my friend, I am sure you won't be disapojnted. :) [/QUOTE]
