Does anyone use this? I was interested in Heroes 5th edition, I don't know much about the system itself other than Champions.

Used to play a LOT of champions. Haven't seen any online software for it, but I find myself wondering if FG can do it... Hmmm. *goes to searching*

It's in its 6th edition now, I would like to see a rules set here for fgII

The character sheet shouldn't be too hard. It's the character creation that takes the most time (building powers).

The issue I could see is the Initiative. If the current system supports using the same character multiple times in the Combat Tracker, it shouldn't be too bad. You would mostly have to worry about held actions and aborts.

Aborts could be done with a condition (something like Immobilized, +3/+5 DCV) and then you would need to remove the condition before acting again. This would also work for maneuvers and powers.

Otherwise, it shouldn't be much different from the GURPS ruleset. Same die mechanics, low rolls, etc.

Just a few thoughts.

The multiple instance you propose sounds like something that could work for th AD&D 2nd ED combat and tactics phases functionality... Anothr thing Ive been wanting. Dont have the time or knowhow to code it though. But good ideas.

Makes me wonder if the OSRIC or 2e extentions handle this?

I have been reading the rule books. There is alot to code. I doubt that someone would have the time to take this project on. What a shame, the system is good.

They really butchered the rules in 6th edition. It's a whole different game now.
