Being made of fire makes character lighter than air and allows her to flyĥ) Discover the power level of the campaign. Body's fiery aura can vaporize bullets and is resistant to heat effectsĬ. The more specific and detailed the writeup the easier it will come to write up powers.ī. Fiery Body from being possessed by flame elemental is a good start, but you need to write down specifics of what the Character does with that Fiery body. Make sure that this list shows what you want your powers to DO. Done right this will both help with writing up powers and will suggest weaknesses. This step is VERY important for Super Heroes and for Spell Casters. Write out what the character can do in plain english (don't even worry about opening a rule book yet). Also think about quirks that will make this character different from any other character of your type(s)Ĥ) Take those generalities and be more specific. Be general at this point, specifics come next. Wizard, Healing Priest, Person turned into metal, Thief/Rogue, Person who can create fire effects, Warrior. This step also can give you ideas for people who may be attached to the character both for good or bad ( ie a Dependent or a person Hunting the PC) Write these ideas down.ģ) Now work on the character's Adventuring side. This gives your character a life outside of adventuring and gives greater depth to their background. Ie Marine Corps Sniper, High Society Socialite, College Professor, News Reporter etc. It will allow you to make a character that will fit within the GM's campaign.Ģ) Come up with a basic idea of what the character is beyond adventuring.
Does it take place in one spot ( ie one city) or will there be travel? How often will characters be engaging in combat? How serious is the game (is it comedy, Tragedy, high drama or something in-between? )These questions give you a direction for the design of your character. Ie What Genre, What kind of adventures will be run ( ie Action, Political, soap opera etc). So I created this little tutorial and guide.ġ) Learn everything possible about the campaign. After seeing this come up time and time again on the Hero Games forums I thought that it was time for me to try and answer this question once and for all. Usually first characters are a mish mash of powers of wildly varying powerlevels and are not really suited for play. It is pretty common for someone to look at the Hero System rule book and be totally overwhelmed by the options inside. This completely reposted from my original on the Board.
