Lord_Jaroh wrote:So our group has been playing D&D for the last 4 years, and we've decided that we are all fantasied out. It looks like people are leaning towards Heroes Unlimited as a completely new change of pace. I am going to be DMing, and since I am not familiar with all of the books/powers that are available, rather than have people pick their heroes, everything is going to be rolled randomly (hopefully keeping down the out-of-controllness that can quickly occur with Palladium characters. :) ).

Is there somewhere that has lists/tables for all of the hero and power options that can be rolled randomly on that includes all the books? I have access to most of them (between the eight of us, I think we have almost all the books, quite a few in duplicate, although I can't find my Skraypers book dammit!), and for the ones I don't I can just have a reroll for the characters. Having to roll between all the books is very clumsy, but if there is a "book of tables" so to speak that collates all of the character creation stuff, I would be very interested. Can anyone help point me in the right direction, or at least give insight in how to manage the glut?

Thanks in advance.


The table in the beginning of PU2 has all the classes in it- except those that came out in Armageddon Unlimited (AU's classes and powers are really specialized anyways, you won't miss them)

As for the powers tables- there's the 1 at the end of PU3 but it isn't that great- I prefer using Kittenstomp's-

The main HU2 book is pretty servicable on its own. If you're just going to roll everything randomly why not just stick to the main book?

That ain't Kittenstomp's site. It is mine :D Well mine and Stone Gargoyles. I merely host all of Kittenstomps great material.
