6th Edition Hero System To M&M
6th Edition Hero System To M&M
Is that is there anything I can look at that would help me with converting 6e Heroes System characters to M&M?
Re: 6th Edition Hero System To M&M
not a specific resource persay but the conversions between 4th and 5th ed for me at least not that dificult due to the basics of the building systems being roughly comparable
also the basic systemic power levels are roughly the same as well for example a 12 strength in M&M is 100 tons and +12 damage, the same thing in Champions aka HERO would be a 60 str which is a 100 ton lift and an average damage of 12 body 42 stun
so basic comparisons of each hero should translate fairly quickly using the each dice equals 5 ration so a 25 int in HERO is a solid +5 int in M&M give or take a bit
same with powers which translate for the most part on a 1 for 1 basis RKAs would mostly be penetrating attacks blasts and so on
skills and advantages are a bit trickier but for the most part should follow some basic common sense. 4-5 ranks for professionals 6-8 ranks for elites and 10-12 or higher for truly epic geniuses
Advantages aka feats run a long a similar line editic memory or lightning calculator are easily converted
lastly most disadvantages are converted to complications straight up
in general have a good idea what youre going for conversion wise then use common sense to change over

Green Dragon a conversion from Champions to stretch my character building legs again.
Dragons a top tier martial artist who shoul make a good rival or enemy for a PC martial artist, hes skilled enough to be a royal pain, but just close enough for a competent player to defeat with a hero point or three. he can manipulate his caps pretty good and using the martial stances ability he can further give himself some versatility being able to strike, grapple, or improve his defence.
Dragon makes use of some of the rules from my newly aquired Mecha and Manga, and Warriors and warlocks ((GLEEEEE!!! )) which ive marked with an *
as a note the build could probably use an update to thrid ed and an update in general but this is strictly to show that it can be done

Ok so here we go, So basic conversion from HERO as ive said isnt that difficult the difficult part is scaling to normal hero levels to insure point parity
So this build as laid out is a basic road map that can be used to give you a starting point for direction to the final character
So attributes
using the basic of every 5 points equals +1 you get some basic solid attributes I upped the stamina by 1 just for balance but thats really the only change
Skills again most skills transfer fairly simply its just a matter of giving a baseline of how skilled one is and what skills are important to the characters concept also HERO makes use of what are a lot of casual skills such as conversation etc these can be mostly ignored unless the PC has a real gift for gab which can be simulated in other ways
Advantages again like skills can be pretty quickly converted on a one for one
Powers here is where M&M and HERO share a number of similarities and at the same time some wide variations HERO uses END which MM doesnt
so the basic powers remain the same though its again a matter of pairing them down to match
I used Jabs builds for snakes as a basic blueprint then switched most of his powers to match
Complications do not give points but can earn hero points where the GM allows
so long and short the build hits all the sweet spots you then just need to decide where the PC needs to trim down to meet the games requirements

Re: 6th Edition Hero System To M&M
Seconded.
My goodness, HERO System was math-heavy enough back in the day, with more than a few concepts requiring complex builds. How did they manage to make character sheets even busier and less easy to follow?
(Used to love me some old-school CHAMPIONS back in the day).
All my best.
