[QUOTE="bwgwl, post: 337583, member: 3876"] i'm not entirely sure that's possible... "With great flexibility and customizability comes great complexity," to paraphrase Spiderman's uncle. :p however, it isn't really HERO's complexity that is a problem for me. i have other concerns that i won't get into here, seeing how this isn't a HERO System thread. ;) how did that work out? i can imagine that some players may have a problem with playing a DM-built character -- some people like to be 100% in control of their character, even during generation. did you have much friction from your players over this? especially in a point-based system like HERO, how would you handle a player asking for something that just couldn't be modeled with the available points? or someone who didn't agree with your "vision" of their character? i'd be really afraid of letting them make their own characters, though. their 350-point newbie heroes against my 350-point 20-years-experience-with-min/maxing-HERO villains would be a bloodbath. :D [/QUOTE]
